This thread is pointless. The community wrote pages upon pages detailing what we wanted in SimCity 5. The only thing that made it into the game was curvy roads. They give a rats ass about what you want.

Beat SimCity??

My won't launch now either, it just updates, then restarts (though, not completely, I still have to run it again), then goes through the update and restarts again. It's stuck. I can't even load the game now. Screw EA.

You get the free game if you buy SimCity up until 25 March. So it's basically become a sale. The SimCity "community" won't benefit from this as much as EA and once it's done they can focus on ringing the DLC rag for every penny they can when they reintroduce the features from prior SimCity games that should have been there in the first place. So basically, they're laughing really hard while still cashing the checks. Whatever. Hey, I'm a musician so I will give you a better deal. Here's some of my original music: http://soundcloud.com/endureth It probably won't be your personal tastes, but it's free so I promise not to rip you off. I'd like to dedicate the song "Hobby Horse" to someone over there, dunno who deserves it most: http://soundcloud.com/endureth/hobby-horse

I'm there but I don't see the other two guys.

Try this. Build a city of about 100k pop, then put down parks all over the place. You city pop will drop by at least half while all the buildings are removed taking the population with them. Then you have to wait for more people to move in, your city will suffer big time while this happens. In my experiment, after all was said and done, adding parks cut my population by about 40% and income by 75%. Just by improving quality of life. You like that better than how SimCity 4 did things, eh?

Companies can release good content without gouging customers. StarCraft II for example. Great game, free online service, fully worked out expansions. The game keeps selling because it's GOOD. You don't have to trick customers to make money, if you just give them an honest product, like, I dunno, SimCity 4, the money keeps coming in.

Look, they spent a lot of effort programming the game, you can't expect them to spend extra resources learning the intricacies of how clocks and calendars work. There has to be a cut off for research or they'd never had been able to release the game.

The username yuuretsu actually has meaning? Its an abbreviation or acronym? I'm not old and you've made more sense of it than I had so it's got nothing to do with your age. I figured that half the time people just mashed their keyboard and hit enter to select their usernames. lolz. Yuuretsu, more acturately Yū retsu (hiranga: ゆうれつ, kanji: 優劣) is a Japanese pharse meaning superiority. Man, I have far too many interest and hobbies to know stuff like that at hand. Yeah, we all got access to google too bro. The game isn't SimCity, it's too far detached. News flash Lucy, you're not as good a game designer as those that made SimCity 4. You tried to make your own vision of the game and completely ignored what people actually wanted even though what the fans wanted was clearly document all over the forums on this site (your biggest fan site) with "What we want in SimCity 5" posts. What made you think your vision was better than the people that actually play the game? You're terrible at your job and you ripped me off $60 with lies.

So this isn't just me then, this is 'normal' for now?

Here's a screenie of my game list. This list has not changed since launch. It's never updated but I haven't seen one other person mention this issue. It's the same on every server too. Is there a way to force it to update? I can't actually play the game multiplayer because there are never any games for me to actually join. I've ran the repair utility, I've even uninstalled and re-installed the game. But apparantly all the settings are saved server-side or something so nothing has worked. Why can't I see new games ever?

I still can't play this multiplayer game multiplayer. The game list hasn't updated ONCE since launch day. It's always the same full games, never changes. I can't even join other games.

At 12:11 am, a rumble was felt. I was ending my late shift collecting garbage when suddenly I saw the beast in my side-view mirror. It almost seemed like there was something in my truck that appealed to him. He stared at me with one eye hungrily. I stepped on the gas. I ran every red light. I saw through my rear-view mirror emergency crews arriving on the scene. Police and fire personnel where shining lights in his face, but he seemed unconcerned. He was fixated on MY TRUCK! Fire and explosions followed in his wake. Hot dogs! It must have been the rotting hot dogs I had picked up from Dodgy Meat, Co. at my last stop. He tried to roast the hot dogs before eating them but there was a slight problem, they were still in my truck! Luckily, as we got closer to the dump, he became distracted by all the hot dogs already in the dump and finally stopped chasing me, whew! The next day, reconstruction efforts began. 7 hours later after the attack and the building was almost rebuilt. I don't know what they'll build there next but I certainly hope it's not another Dodgy Meats, Co. If so, I'm asking for a new garbage collection route. The end.

I've had two Godzilla's, an earthquake and an alien invasion so far. One of the Godzilla's did TONS of damage.
