How much do you crave for SimCity 5?

[cirugo 1,889]

that depends on what your are talking about when you say SimCity 5...are you talking about the game that Maxis has been describing that will be released in February 2013? If so not at all. If you are talking about a game that might come out some day that has the features that we want that are being axed from this game then quite a lot.

[Bookitty 63]

It's not too important, but I want to check it out. (3 votes [42.86%])

WOW.... Already three votes for "It's not to important"

That option...

I like the SimCity series because I gives me the feeling of managing my own city. Being able to sit back and watch my computer do work without my intervention, i.e. I like multitasking.

[lew1984 231]

I voted option 3 because I'm not sure exactly how the specifics of the game will pan out, some things such as always being online do concern me along with map size... Basically all the things people discuss on other forums.

The jury is out until the game arrives and I get to play If my computer can run it which is doubtful lol.

My vote "I couldn't care less" is based on what EA has released to date and what appears to be locked into the final product. I agree with cirugo that if circumstances were different my vote would be just the opposite of what I voted.

(This is second attempt to post so if this duplicates...)

Let's just stick to the topic of the poll. No need to chide others for expressing their opinion. Some posts have either been removed or edited. Thanks.

I chose option 4. Although it has some downfalls- I still remain optimistic, and can't wait to see the final product.

[Gurning_Chimp 398]

I chose 1. I'm not craving SC2013 at all, but I am getting more and more addicted to SC4

[poshbakerloo 186]

I think SC5 will be good, but I'm not as crazy about it as I was about SC4 before it came out, but then again I am 22 now rather than 13, times change!

[SimCity4IE 203]

I've recently got addicted to SimCity 4, I'll consider getting SC 2013; but until February I'm not exactly having it on my wish list without seeing its features and reviews

[The_City_Builder 299]

I chose 4 because i'm willing to give it a chance.

I voted #1 because I'm not buying it, I'm not wasting my money if I only can play it online, my bandwidth cost me a small fortune every month.

Besides when the servers go off line I will have spend $90 (what it will cost here) for a game that is not a true Sim City.

If all of our "save games" are on servers, the game will be pointless...

If we only need to be connected for backup purposes, then I'll probably keep it.

[MatlockMan 370]

I voted 4.

[macb6497 6]

I just created two petitions that would ask Maxis to make the "always on" requirement an option.

Could I post those links here?

Why don't you try the official site? Over the years, when this comes up here, it just doesn't go anywhere, so we don't encourage it. Thanks.

Why I'm not against making forum topics, why is this poll allowed? How much different is it from "Are you excited/disappointed for SC2012?"

Not craving is not the same as disappointed. Likewise, excited is not the same as craving. For example, I personally am excited about seeing the game, but I have no great desire to purchase it.

[parakompetisn 1]

I can't begin to explain how much I want this game.

And I meant exactly that when I clicked it.

[Urban Cartographer 601]

Crave? Do you mean vomit?

By taking out many of the features that make SC4 so fun, such as terraforming, larger city sizes, 100% offline single player, etc., SC5 is a joke.

I play video games too, but playing games is enough a waist of time, let alone the possiblility of your cities that took days to constuct can be manipulated by outside factors, i.e. other people you didn't approve of, which makes it an ABSOLUTE waist of time.

I'm not going to take the time to construct that perfect city if I don't truly control what happens to it...

[MrRtd 19]

I don't like that they require an internet connection to play this game. I had seriously considered pre-purchasing this game, but since learning of the online requirement for game play, I have since changed my mind.

Also, since my primary desktop is Linux based, I play SC4 via Wine and it works quite well. I suspect Simcity 5 wont work at all or very poorly - I'm not going to switch to Microsoft Windows just for one game.

[alex macnamara 139]

I voted 1 for reasons of blatant discontent of the community.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but is the question not asking how much we want an actual SC5 game with features the community, not EA, wants? It seems quite a few people are rating SC2013.

yeah i think so but this is what we're getting so...

[Superbacon 380]

When I heard it was being released for the first time, I'd have voted a 5. But now, that's downgraded to a 2.

To be (brutally) honest, I don't feel the least bit of cravings for buying the game. That does not mean I don't hope it succeeds. I will buy it if it is good.

[Xenocity 343]

I'm interested in this new direction, I can finally interact with other cities in a real time form.

I really like the idea of being able to integrate my friends into this game.

It'd be nice to be able to talk them about Simcity without them being confused.

At the very least it has a very long way to go to become the worst in the series (I'm looking at you Simcity 64).

I'll probably buy it at release, then complain when EA/Maxis releases a deluxe version with the expansion packs bundled in for $20 the next year.

[The_City_Builder 299]

I crave it! I pre ordered the DD version, because I feel as if people are expecting a carbon copy of SC4. I'm not, and I really like what I've been seeing as of late.
