Cities Skylines: The Truth.

[lewisknight923]

Cities Skylines feels exactly like playing SimCity 2013, but with the extra addition of bigger maps, better simulated cities (cracks are emerging), no DRM and a few more building options. I am surprized EA Games aren't suing Paradox Interactive for copyright theft OR Paradox Interactive ARE EA Games in disguise! It's the same as having a game called 'Ponic The Hedgehog' where a blue hedgehog cannonballs through a palm tree map - just like Sonic The Hedgehog!

Everybody is saying that Cities Skylines is good - and it is. However, I am not getting that nostagia I once had when I first played Sim City 4. WAKE UP!!!!!! Anything better than Sim City 2013 no matter how small will make people dribble from the mouth.

To me I feel like I might be getting ripped off just like I felt in Sim City 2013. After 10 hours of playing the game I am bored. I saw the light when I tried to place the silly train station over a piece of railroad and realised I need to build a road first near the track to lay the silly train station .... 'Oh No! Not again! Not some cheap silly city builder' - I thought.

Another issue is that I swear they were bringing in cycle tracks , decent railroads and trams in some pre-review somewhere (correct me if I am wrong) - there ain't even any tunnels. I hear they're bringing in tunnels in some future patch after releasing...WTF! So the game ain't finished yet? I am still waiting for that moment of purity and excellence in a game since SC4, TES: Oblivion, Super Mario World, Roller Coaster Tycoon 2, Alpha Centauri, Star Wars KOTOR and Elite Fontier 2 ! I am I getting old?? Is there anybody out there thinking the same as me?

The point I am making here is this.... IS THERE GOING TO BE A REALISTIC AND BEAUTIFUL CITY BUIDLING GAME IN THE FUTURE EXACTLY LIKE SIM CITY 4 WITH ALL THE MODS THROWN IN AND SUPER HD GRAPHICS?????????

Yeah, it's called Cities: Skylines.

Seriously, sucks you don't find it that fun, but I and many others are having a freaking blast.

[lewisknight923]

To be fair I was having a blast when I first played it but after getting in deep and peeling the onion I was disappointed.

A fact of life....
Anything labled "The Truth" in all caps is always just oppinion.
And almost never The Truth.

I don't feed trolls and I don't read spam.

What about anything labed ''The Truth'' partly in lower case like I wrote? Which bits are not truthful ? Have you played SC4 with all the popular mods (forget the graphics side of things)?

It's not really that close. Some things are similiar but when you really get into the game the differences are very evident. This game is better than Simcity 5 and SC4 and with it's modding capabilities it has the ability to far exceed community support that Simcity 4 had for 10+ years. I think people forget that there was a lot of things that Rush Hour fixed for SC4 and it wasn't the masterpiece out of it's original box.

Just because you feel the need to place buildings before roads, well that's not a good reason to call something this well done cheap and a clone of that crap SC13.

As far as updates, yes the tunnels will be added but again don't start with the unfinished game crap. They are giving free updates to add to a finished working game, a game I might add actually worked day one unlike SC5, what a joke that whole thing was and still is.

Well said Orion, I almost thought this was satire (that last paragraph especially), but it being a troll post makes much more sense.

And this is why you are not a Copyright Lawyer, Lewis. You can't copyright a concept - Given your ass backwards logic, any kind of military shooter is infringing on other games' copyright.

Thanks for this mate. What you say is true about rush hour I remember that.

Indeed. It'd be akin to the doom developers suing every other FPS out there.

Yeah I bet EA Games discussed it with their lawyers though in hindsight.

No problem,Lew. I honestly feel this game has a ton of potential and I don't think it's all come to light quite yet. As a base game, it's still quite good. I hope you keep playing and good luck on 1 Million population.

[lewisknight923]

Nobody can sit here and tell me this game is better than SC4 with all the best mods for it ? Obviously not taking the graphics into play here...

[lewisknight923]

I managed 40k population so far
