Very true. Polygon lowered their score. Hope it turns out to be good after a few patches. I was pretty excited for the game until the giantbomb quick look.Quote:

I agree!Quote:

There is definite potential for larger maps to be added (hopefully not as DLC):

That being said, I'm definitely looking to pick this up, but not at $60. I'll wait for a good deal on this one.
Origin name is either TheRealGumby or pktgumby, I'll have to check when I get home.
Like wait four years for low end video card and CPU'S catch up so we can have a city twice as big as before.Quote:

those screenshots make it look like the graphics actually regressed :o
I feel for you guys that want to play over the weekend. The game launches today in EU and the rest of the world. EA has already come out and shut down some gameplay features with their latest hotfix for the servers. They turned off leaderboards, achievements, and search filtering. They really bungled this launch. I'd hate to be at Maxis. SimCity probably is a really good game, but they had to fit it into EA's mold. Giantbomb's review said there is a fantastic game under all the limitations, but you can't get to it.
Edit: Wow it seems they turned off "cheetah" speed as well.
And this is what happens when you don't stress test. Idiots!
Aside from some issues finding my friends online, the servers were fine for me the first day. Yesterday, I couldn't log on to any server the several times I tried to do so. Will I be able to log on after work today? Will disabling Cheetah speed allow me to actually see my city and region again?
And does the fact that they needed to disable Cheetah Speed mean that all the game's calculations are happening server-side?
Burnout and Need for Speed should not be in that corpse pile! Also SimCity really is quite fun when it's actually working. D:
I guess when I see you guys online in Origin, it's not actually playing the game :(
Neither should Dead Space or Dragon Age. Pretty sure that's the whole point.Quote:

No, I meant Burnout and NFS weren't killed by EA as that image suggests. Burnout Paradise was freaking awesome and NFS started sucking some time around Underground and stopped sucking just a couple years ago.Quote:

They have a form of reverse Midas touch.

Well, I was able to play for an hour last night. It wasn't on my main server so my city wasn't there, but hey... -__-
