God, I seem to be the only one in this thread that enjoys the game.
it maybe because the previous Sim Cities( of which I have only played 300 World and Edition, and 4, Deluxe edition) always felt...impersonal that I didn't have much control over how the people acted, apart from they kept complaining, etc(that and hey low price hosuing bar never went down EVER) no matter what the bloody hell I did. Societies, i find, is quite fun, as it seems to be my twon.
On the oter hand, it lags quite a bit once the city Starts growing, and rogue sims can be hard to spot. Placing buildings can also feel a bit slow a times.
