I've heard real power defined as control over other people surely dominion over virtual masses is the next best thing. If anyone were to tell you differently, you could bulldoze their house to the ground and replace it with a sewage outlet, consequence-free. In a break from reality, it has no concepts of private property or democracy, and no checks on your power, so the world is your oyster. This "simulation," by the way, is a very gamey one. Guiding a city through the first few hours of its life as its all-seeing despotic demigod mayor starts out as delightfully creative and empowering. Prevalent bugs and some awkward design decisions, including a mandatory always-online connection, make the long-awaited return of this most famous of city builders somewhat less than triumphant. Yet while it constantly does some astonishing things with its meticulously detailed simulation, it never works quite as well as I expect it to. What's behind that now-infamous login screen, when you actually play SimCity, is an incredibly complex and stunning game unlike anything I've ever seen.
But the terrible server problems that justifiably enraged fans are already fading into just that: history. One strategy I use is to have a mining city that has a lot of pollution but also has a university which helps to unlock some of the more awesome buildings which I'll use in my "nicer" cities.The botched launch of SimCity will go down in PC gaming history as one of the worst ever. You can also share resources like power and water. Like if you unlock a special power plant in one city it'll be available to everyone else. For example: some perks are shared across regions. Recently picked Sim City 2013 back up and while the cities are still annoyingly small, the majority of the bugs are fixed and I'm starting to realize that a lot of the city size problems go away once you have 2 or more cities going in a region that compliment each other well. I picked it up when it came out, put a solid 50 hours into it, was frustrated by bugs and small maps and put it down.īought Cities Skylines about a year or two later, put a solid 50 hours into it and while there was very little to complain about I didn't find it nearly as fun.
