People saying Sim City 5 is objectively bad lel.

In a way, the city size limit creates a necessity to build incredibly efficient layouts and to constantly micromanage everything. I guess people just wanted to build their ♥♥♥♥♥♥ cities across the whole map instead of that. Sim City 5 wasn't great, but it still managed to be compelling enough.

Simcity was not bad, was awful. It was fundamentally broken.

very true.. anyone saying Simcity 5 isn't bad is due to the fact they have not grind it enough.. down to the very bones of the game. once you've played it enough issues start to surface which you cannot ignore.. sometimes they happen as if like a bug.. e.g. one of megatower floor lacks water.. almost everyone in there flees as if it's a fire spreading.. left only like 10 persons.. that is illogical! who would just move out of their homes just because of a short water crisis??

compare the sheer size of 1 megatower and the amount of industrial buildings, gov buildings, commerce in your city... it is often they require much more manpower than your 3-4 megatowers combined! that doesn't make sense too!

and traffic.. no matter how good you lay your city down.. with street cars, buses, roads, heck even without those "sky trains".. they are just not enough to solve traffic woes.. is like people don't use them!

UNINSTALL IT!!!!

Oh gawd don't remind me of my horrible experiences with the dreaded mega towers. Mine always complained about the lack of shopping even if I had 3 floors of shopping. Or the lack of jobs when I had 1 floor for every apartment level I had. Soon you have lack of shopping and lack of jobs all the time then crime constantly. An if you completely built up your mega tower you were screwed because in order to stop the crime you need a police level in your tower. Then you know what happends? The economy bottoms out in your tower to the point you lose over 200,000 a day and forces you to tear down the mega tower. Yep I nuked that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ city and uninstalled the ♥♥♥♥♥♥.

The thing that drove me nuts was to have a building on the right side of the fire station catch fire, and watch the fire trucks turn left out of the station and go around the block.

yeah these are the sorts of "broken" pieces that EA/Maxis fail to address after like 1-2 years since the game/expansion was launched. You can be sure I have plenty of "lack of workforce" issues ALL THE TIME when I'm playing the game.. even with other cities in the region it just doesn't solve it! coz in the end their own cities will have workforce issues! lacking people to provide sufficient jobs to ANY SORT OF WORK in the city! Megatowers just doesn't seem to fix this core problem! And I don't get it why!!

it just shows neglect/ignorance on their part. I'm very sure plenty of players have reported issues with megatowers and the city problems in general.. but EA/Maxis just shuts off and don't seem to care. Heck seeing that they slashed SC:Complete Edition by 50-60% 2 days ago till today just shows that they're terrified.. terrified of how good Cities: Skyline is gonna become... totally gonna take the entire city building market share from them for sure. EA/Maxis totally deserve it!! $$ greedy whoreess.. time to show them some payback!

I returned SimCIty after an hour of playing it. SimCity 4 on the other hand was pretty darn good. If you want a cheap alternative to this, get SImCity 4 with Rush Hour and the mods from Simtropolis.

Remains to be seen if this game will be better than SimCIty 4.

wanna save your precious time? load up single player.. spam Alt+W and let your cities reach "end/late game" in like 3 hours... rinse and repeat with the other 2 cities in your region and attempt to complete the middle "wonder" thing.. then come back and let us know what you think of you overall experience. I can guarantee you it won't be good as you notice some real f***-up issues of this game. Better save up your time for something else.

EA shut Maxis down http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2015/03/ea-closes-simcity-studio-maxis-emeryville/ Which makes me happy, Not the whole company just the Emeryville Studio that made ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ 2013. Edit: Apparently it's ok to say ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ lmao.

I'm keeping both games installed as I have the space. Plus I see myself still playing Simcity sometimes, but we shall see.. :) I played Simcity over 1200 hours, but the small city sizes was a big downer.

That many hours? You must of ran through every city position on every world, on the double!

when I removed it from my computer it squealed......must have been a demon attached to it....

A lot of poor innocent, could-do-no-harm, weaponless, victims were scammed into buying Simcity 2013. Glassbox was just so shiny.
