Weird... why didn't the creators of SCS do more choices of roads???or Zoning???

[TomMCityfan2 0]

Please Discuss Here.

here we go again...

Can all SCS haters just go away and let those of us who enjoyed it enjoy it, go play your own game and be happy with it. I have gotten more hours out of SCS than any other game outside of MMOs.

[TomMCityfan2 0]

pcgamer2, I kinda like SCS, but at the same time, I kinda don't like SCS...

And just like I said: "But, the good thing is...

So, yeah.

SC4 was very plain and bland itself, it took its expansion and then mods to build it up. I wouldn't be able to play SCS without mods, i have nearly every mod out there for SCS, or at least over 85%.

I make my own parks, walk ways, plazas, backyards, tree zoning, and etc. I even have modded airlines for the planes that come into the airport, such as Cathay Pacific and Air France.

SCS doesn't have zoning because it doesn't flow with the game, EA is trying to reset the marker for gaming, they feel that games have gotten harder and harder and left the new generation behind, and letting them catch up with a hook with bait on it.

Another real reason is that SCS is about making your city yours, the most fun part is designing your city, of course stratagy mode adds a little bit of a realistic touch to it, but just ploping zoning down has really no personal touch to it, Simcity and Cities XL cities all look bland and about the same compared to everyone's SCS cities.

Just compare some on  the tilted mill forum http://www.tiltedmill.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=36

Yeah, right...

But, SC4 is harder (kinda) than SCS.

Another plus for SCS (about what I said), and SC4 (about what you said).

[un1 41]

Well, SCS certainly isn't better than SC4, for multiple reasons. However it is still a great improvement on some parts, such as 3d camera. However, the game was created by a completely different developper so of course there will be differences.

SCS was never supposed to be like Sc4 it's a whole different take on the city building genre.

It looks like a cartoon. I wish developers as a whole, in every game, would move away from cartoony looks, because I feel like I'm too old to be playing it.

[IDK 12]

I'd prefer SC4 over any city building game any day, no matter how "new" and "great". For example, CitiesXL, like in many ways, the same as Sim City Creator, FAILED. I mean look at the Planet offer and the online. Already it has colapsed...I forsaw the collapse of Cities XL at least a few years into the future, but, come on. MC still hasent gotten hold of the concept of creadability. At least see what can happen in a few years instead of cutting you losses early, ex. the online feature. Even if SC5 comes, I still believe that it wont live up to the city builders expectations. MC tried and failed. They tried something new instead of making something old better. If I was making SC5, I'd look at what was there and make it better. Add a few things of course but keep the same core value and not drasticly alter the playing field. The number one concern is transportation. Ex. Busses, Elevated rail, Subways, rail lines, air ports, park and ride, walking, cars, carpools, ferry, and much more. I just hope EA is still interested in Sim City and hasn't moved completely over to sports...which is the only thing I ever see with the EA logo on it anymore...NFL, NCAA Football, NCAA Basketball, FIFA, NBA, PGA, Tenis, NASCAR, oh wait, they cut that for some reason.

BTW: WTF even happened to Maxis? Did it get completely folded into EA?

I believe the game was intended for the younger generation and was more of a spinoff.

Yeah, the 3d camera was a genius idea...

10 reasons why scs is complete rubbish...

1. map size is very small

2.color palate is off... every city looks like the drugs are taking effect

3.thats right, road only turn at 90 degrees and cannot go up slopes huh

4. plop plop plop plop... plop

5. city name generator give you like 3 choices simtopia, sim fransisco, simstanbul...

6 nothing like any other simcity game that has been released... the fun about sim city is to see what developed... not how many clown schools you could build to get your police state fun again

7. it was duplo when we already had a complete lego set that was growing every day (what were we going to choke)

8. it wasted a bunch of my time

10. why use free mode... i have never had a city go under.. just match the numbers up (fun with numbers game for toddlers)

however the cloud effects were good and ive put all the music from the game into my sc4 folder... but i dont think ill ever play the game again... btw does anybody want a copy of scs + the expansion?

[Skimbo 304]

I'm soo glad that I've never bought SCS........

You see, he can only play MMOs. SimCity isn't only a strategy game, it's a city-planning game. Sim City Societies ISN'T a city-planning game.

[Samerton 833]

I think SCS is okay.. I know there is REALLY limited road-types, but I always use the BuildingPlop cheat in SC4 anyway, so the fact that you plop buildings in SCS is a good one =)

I don't like that fact that once your city starts to get to a certain size, the game just starts to lag.

Skimbo: it's not that bad... =/

[Legobuilder123 24]

hey does anyone know how to take a snapshot in SCS because i don't know how

[loken rocks 0]

SCS laggs and dies in my PC lol! but i like (and want to play) CitiesXL but bad computer!

[TomMCityfan2 0]

Well, I quit CXL a LONG time ago, but I heard of some "Cities XL 2011" coming up. I don't know if that's true, but I can't even wait until it comes out (if it actually will...). I have bigger hopes, because I think all of our complains we told MC, I think MC's going to take care of that in CXL2011.

Oh, Didn't I just notice what I'm writing is off-topic? Oops...

Yes, you're right. SCS isn't a city-planning game, because SCS is 80% Ploppable.

seriously sc4 is better than scs

[TomMCityfan2 0]

-ANNOUNCEMENT-

Seriously, I do not care about this anymore. Sometimes I will come back to this topic and post something, but I don't FLIPPIN' care about SCS and SC4 anymore. I've quit all of them. I've moved on to CXL2011.

lol... the people in cities xl look retarded, and there are like one of them on the screen at a time, and the traffic lights dont work and only one lane goes through an intersection at a time....

im sticking with simcity.. when cities xl gets a region, working roads, realistic looking people, more variety of lot sizes, easier road building functions and highway implementation, better looking, more detailed graphics, a more intuitive use of civil opportunities, better, more refined data maps and a better zoning scheme maybe i will think of purchasing it..

all 2011 did was fix a few of the tons of problems xl had and offer a few more terrains (i would rather terraform my own map and build my city the way i want... not have to pick a map and only zone ag in this area and oil in that... oh wait this map has no oil

xl makes a mockery of the simcity genre and has no potential, imo

i think simcity 2000 is better than xl and the city life series
