After a few hours of play...

s Once I managed to get in to play and really dig into it I'm a but more ready to make some say on this game.

 

I'm still really, really, disappointed in it on many levels. That said:

 

1. The game doesn't seem to be running to well. I've got middling graphics settings even tough my new graphics card should surpass the requirements. I have double the recommended RAM. The only issue is possibly not having the newest processor but it's a quad-core which I would think should be able to do what needs to be done to run this game well.  It's likely it's not, but I dunno. The game installed and it seems to think it can play but it's a bit "choppy at times. (Issues on playing over a cloud instead of locally?)

 

2. Although after some play I've not quire filled up too much of the map I can already see the restraints on the horizon and I really wish there was a mini-map to quick-click to a location in the city to get too.

 

3. I hate having too much open space. In SC4 you could easily fill in open spaces with parks, grass plots and even trees to give the city a more complete and filled look.  Here? There's just a lot of random stuff laying around in fields of openness. 

 

4. It's hard to tell what Sims want. I've got some with protesting that there's too much disease (yeah, I agree. Being a mortal being susceptible to disease sucks. Deal with it) they have a clinic with an ambulance bays and a patient room expansion. You've got all the hospital you need right now.

 

There's just a lot "missing" in this game. Which, again, is just a shame.  I see myself still playing SC4 for some time to come.

They are probably planning on expansion packs, "stuff packs," and DLC to fill the gaps.  I personally don't mind an expansion pack or two, but I dislike paying $60+ for a game only to find that I will have to spend much, much more if I want all the extras.
