Best, Maarten First and for most you must remember that SC 2013 is just one year old.. one can not judge such a huge scale game by one year perspective. Besides, where was SC4 after one year of launching? It was a pretty bad game full with bugs and without any mods. same goes with Cities XL which has amazing graphics that's true, but without its XL nation community and their thousands of mods would be dead by now... When Minecraft was launched many people were spectical weather it will be successfull, some critisized its simple graphics, some said it's borring and will die in a few months. well look at it now, look where it got as one of the popular games of all times. Just give SC 2013 a chance, wait patiently for new additions and packs. Remember that SC4 have had its time and becomes irrelevant as the new one takes it place. one to two years from now it will be dead so we all should support SC 2013 and other alternatives. I think that it's a shame people don't give it a chance. IMO it has a great potential to become the BEST city builder. we all need three things: offline mod, bigger maps with no dead zones and the ability to modify the game. all of those will propbabely be available, the sooner the better.

It's actually quite cool

Will this work well on my 2011 13" MacBook Air?

What makes you so sure it will never happen? Did SimCity 4 was what it is today when it went out? Look at CitiesXL, this game was boring first but today it is awesome and for good reasons! (game upgrades and modding). So all we need to do is be patient for a future upgrades and modding for SimCity. then we'll have bigger maps, more features and probably offline mode.

Maybe it will get better with time. I think it's worth buying even with all the disadvantages..

Hi guys, I have a mid-2011 MacBook Air 13" model which I use as my main computer. However, the mac version seem to come out only on spring so I want to buy the PC version and use it for now. As mentioned before the Mac version will not cost any additional fees as long as I buy a digital version of it on Origin. I do have other question though.. do you guys think it could run fine with Boot Camp on my MacBook air?

What's disappointing is that the paths could be weighted based on traffic density so that shortest route isn't just the only criteria. Further, Maxis once stated that agents would start out with the intention to travel the shortest route but would update their path finding based on new data such as alternative routes on roads that can support higher density traffic. What's shown in the videos is clearly not the case. I can't get it. how did Monte Cristo have managed to do so on Cities XL (and must say in an incredible way) and Maxis did not? is it that complicated?

lol that's just horrible! It's like the traffic always flow in the shortest way (even under high congestion). In Cities XL the traffic flows in the fastest way - hence the congestion much more balanced and realistic. heck, CXL doesn't have the glassbox engine. I can only imagine what would happen when you build an Highway. the traffic will still use the congestioned roads because it's the "shortest" way to drive. even if the highway has 8 lanes and higher speed limits. it's just sad, really sad...

The sad thing is that this issues will effect all of us. Sadly the situation is really bad for the franchise...

They only care about the cash. That's how huge corporation such as EA think - they really don't have any love for the genre. only for the money...

What's the issue with not being able to build skyscrapers next to curvy roads? I don't get it..

This is pathetic! That's the result of being led by the love for money instead of by love for the franchise

Bad day for city-building ganre I'd say.

Anyway, I'm not going to buy an unplayable game. That's even without mentioning the so many missing features..

Guys will the game run fine on my MacBook Air 13" 2011 model?? Thanks.
