Is this game worth buying?

Actually, you are being forced to buy DLC's. Let me explain;

 

The game was made (designed) to be multi-player.

 

However, if you are playing in a region where players with DLC's abandon cities, you cannot claim these cities, unless you also own the DLC's.

 

The workaround; don't play public, go private and have only friends that don't have DLC's.

 

Moah, that's a minor thing. It would be better if the DLC buildings got auto-demolished if you don't have the DLC though...

It would actually make more sense if the game left them in, giving a player to play with the setup.  If they demolish it they can't build a new one, or they can't plop any new modules on it, but they get the benefits.  Players may find they like them and buy the DLC.

That sounds incredibly smart and therefore unlikely to appear as a though inside the head of EA management.

 

How amazing the concept of DLC could be if only it lived up to it's potential.

my pc died so i had to wait for the mac version and ive clocked almost 100 hrs but i actually enjoy the game. i think there is still much room for improvements but overall im having a great time. i typically focus on design and laying the streets into the land (i like the maps with hills and islands the best). im not sure if its my minor ocd and focus on detail but i typically only have about 100k-150k people in each city.

 

I didnt get to try the game when it was at the peak of being broken so maybe im not as angry about the problems as others are and maybe waiting so long to get the game built up a desire to play with extra appreciation. whatever the case, if you truly enjoy city simulation games and dont have to have the biggest city with the most people and you have paitence to build each city slowly, even when you gift the city $1,000,000, it can still be very entertaining.
