Can't wait for him to review Bioshock Infinite. He's going to struggle to find something to be negative about.
What the other guy said. From what I heard it's basically Sim City except you play as Fidel Castro. So basically the developers say. "You know, the people who play Sim City seem to enjoy torturing their people, how about we make a game where that's the focus?"...come to think of it, how come I haven't gotten this game yet.Daystar Clarion said:I haven't played a SimCity game in years...
Maybe I should get 4, since that's widely considered as one of the best?
I remember playing SimCity 3000 and at one stage having a city so greviously underserviced that I could fund it off a 0.1% residential tax. My most frequent complaint was the high residential tax rate. Then I tried making it a January only tax. It didn't help.dharmaBum0 said:You'll hear from a lot of old-school SimCity players that say 2/3000 was the pinnacle of the series, but I don't quite understand why. SC4 did everything those games did better and did it's own things well too.
SC4 still has an active modding community, and still manages to look pretty good (minus the silly portraits of the advisers). A big complaint is that it's pretty hard, which it is at first.
It's actually brutally difficult. It's not a game to play casually; you actually have to plan your moves before shunking down houses and shit. There's a massive amount to SimCity4 which is why it genuinely wins, but you best have your Mayor Hat on before you dive in.Daystar Clarion said:I haven't played a SimCity game in years...

Why waste the effort? Just play SimCity 4 instead.WouldYouKindly said:I won't advocate piracy, but I will advocate using the crack that was found about a week after the game launched. So yeah, the always online component can fuck off. Then all they need to fix is the AI pathfinding, the city sizes, and the fact that it's almost impossible to have a balanced city if you don't want to play with other people.
