All in all, it's a fantastically disappointing game, and unless you have a MAJOR itch to scratch with a new SimCity game, avoid it.

Yeah, because obviously no one else noticed that it sucks ass other than reddit. I see people fawning over how good it is everywhere else, right?

Wrong.

u/Gonzored · 3 pointsr/SimCity

who do you think you speaking for?

Sim city was obviously poorly received. the reviews unanimously say the game is bad. Thinking a patch will change enough to reverse the failures is quite optimistic.

[The game is 1.5 stars out of 5 on amazon.] (http://www.amazon.com/Electronic-Arts-71481-SimCity-Standard/product-reviews/B007VTVRFA/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1)

2.1 out of 10 on metacritic

most avid simcity fans like myself dont enjoy the game. stick with a older tried and true version of simcity and save a buck.

a least wait a month after the release and see if anything significant changes in the new reviews.

Sim City is $10 on Amazon right now. It's been that way since the beginning of December so I would pick it up before the price (maybe) goes back up.

u/Antikythera509 · 1 pointr/gaming

This sounds a lot like what happened with Sim City 4.. Just check out the amazing amazon reviews if you missed that.

Read through the comments if you want to see the publics opinion on DRM and always on Sim City 4

u/Commander_Shepard_ · 1 pointr/funny

Oh, shit!

Amazon. You know how they have those reviews for the 55-Gallon Drum and the Wolf Shirts and Sim City 5?

There's a link for the product. But no funny reviews. I'd love to see someone say ridiculous things about this product.

u/Applekami · 1 pointr/GameDeals

Although this is US only, Amazon.com have it on sale for $15, which worked out at just under £9 for me.

Not great, but better than nothing!

All you need is a US address attached to your amazon account, it can be any address, as nothing is sent there since you get a CD Key for the game.

SimCity. I know everyone is just hating on it, but I've played Sim City since I was 12, and watched my brother play it probably since I was born (Sim City 2000).

Girlsplaywow is a jerk. naaaaaaaaat

> so the offline mode is similar or exactly like simcity 4?

I have not played simcity 4 in probably 10 years, but I think you are right.

> i have been looking for simcity 2013 on amazon. I am so confused with the copies they have. City of tomorrow?? French?? limited edition??

You want to buy the standard edition...

http://www.amazon.com/Electronic-Arts-71481-SimCity-Standard/dp/B007VTVRFA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1397447577&sr=8-1&keywords=simcity+2013

"Cities of tomorrow" is an expansion to the original game and adds some futuristic stuff. It changes your gameplay strategy a lot. You don't need it for at least a month or two, until you get the hang of the original game. After you have built 5-10 full cities of your own and rolling in millions of dollars in your cities and getting a bit bored, then you should get the expansion.

The French, British and German things are also expansions - they are just minor updates changing the look and feel of buildings in the game. They do not add significantly to the gameplay strategy, but add nicely to the aesthetics. Get it if you are bored at looking at the same buildings in the original game and want something different.


> I am sorry if i sound noobish. I'll check out your video.

There is nothing wrong with sounding noobish - we are all noobs - only some noobs have been around longer. Also, they are not my videos... they are from a British sounding guy who calls himself Skye. He, his voice and his videos are awesome.

So far as I know, everything except the tiny maps has been fixed, at least to some degree.

I bought it on release, and had some fun with it. Except for map size, the above complaints didn't bother me. I expect a simulation to be just an approximation, and I don't expect every sim-person to fully replicate a real person's activities.

That said, it gets old once you've gotten to the top. (That is, made a lot of money and completed a community project or 2.) Unlike previous Sim games, there's no real challenge and there are no scenarios to conquer.

Which is probably why people complain about the simulation so much. When there's nothing else to do, and all you're doing is running a city, all the little quirks detract from the experience.

My recommendation is to wait until it's on significant sale and then buy it.

In fact, it's apparently $20 on Amazon, which is about the price point I'd have picked anyhow.

When SimCity was released, I think it was either ranked at the #1 or #2 highest selling game. Less than a few months out, it's already slipping into the triple digits -

  • Currently ranked as the 106th best selling game for download
  • Currently ranked as the 278th best selling game for physical disc

    Do major franchise games usually jump down in sales so quickly? (All the fans pre-purchase or purchase on release) or is this abnormal? (In contrast, Hitman released three-four months before SimCity, is still at #1)

    (Interesting to see that so far, 6,501 people have taken the time to write review on Amazon)
