  1. I dont know about anyone here but that was a deal breaker for me. A city cannot function by itself if were limited to such a small size. I dont care how robust the engine is it just wont work for what most of the people on ST play the game for. 2 km is a size of ONE niegborhood in a large city. Therefore its impossible to play the game solo and have just one city. Unless the modders here would ever find a way to increase the map sizes Id be back in the consider buying this game. This new engine is starting to sound like something too big for its own shoes size. Discuss........

  2. Discussion about City Tile Size

    alex macnamara replied to alex macnamara's topic in SimCity (2013) General Discussion

    This thread was started waaay before release and this thread still hold merit.

  3. Discussion about City Tile Size

    alex macnamara replied to alex macnamara's topic in SimCity (2013) General Discussion

    Because it was just confirmed on reddit that the game is SINGLE CORE!!! No map size increase folks, lets wait for a simcity 6 or other alternative

  4. Tile size embarassing small

    alex macnamara replied to mastorofpuppetz's topic in SimCity (2013) General Discussion

    yea its the 31 page thread i made called SIZE and its stickied at the very top! Folks we need to be carefull about ranting new threads about problems and look at the sticky and previous threads first before making a new thread.

  6. Discussion about City Tile Size

    alex macnamara replied to alex macnamara's topic in SimCity (2013) General Discussion

    Ive read the white papers on that kickstarter game and it doesnt look promising either. Its just a hacked version of SC4. No true 3-D , regions are whack, and no support for UDI.

    which is sad really, the way it looks this version is gonna be sitting out on the bench untill the next sim city is done right . hopefully the lack of sales doesnt hurt them too much and can start making the best city builder ever!
  8. So I was at the simcity.com forums and came across this thread. Someone did a visual comparison and the SC5 fully built maps vs the old SC4 medeum tile maps. The results are shocking. http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/8875279.page credits go to BLSmith2112 @ Simcity forums

  9. Gamescom 2012 SIMCITY demo experiance

    alex macnamara replied to Decius's topic in SimCity (2013) General Discussion

    Thanks for the review...unbias and trustworthy.
  10. +1 and I would buy the game as soon as the concerns are met (modding support and offline patch)
  11. "but it felt like a true SimCity" "And it was defnititely not comparable to SC: Societies, since that felt like a totally different game." "the game is less of a transit simulator and concentrates more on the relationship between you and your sims." But I read this and yes this guy could have been genuinely impressed with the "game". But he was only impressed with the glassbox workings and not the core game. He liked all the detailed elements. He also mentioned another thing the game lacks and confirmed it....AGRICUTLURE! The thing is this game is going to be repetitive and boring after a few hours for him because he only appreciates the engine. Also the data layers he was talking about was already done in Cities XL!!! I admit if I had played that demo with a gun to my head I would probably enjoy the glassbox aspects of it but only for a few hours, then it gets old past "i cant build a city only a tiny town."

  12. Takeaways from the Haber Interview at Gamescom

    alex macnamara replied to StanislausBabalistic's topic in SimCity (2013) General Discussion

    DITTO....and I predict MAXIS-MD will say "We cant answer that right now but just wait at the December event at bla bla land we are gonna show some awesome stuff" . And only to have another uninformed group of game analyst ask the same flarping questions as they did at gamescom,community interviews,magazine articles, and E3. Also add that they wont show new footage. Gamescom was so pathetic they showed barely nothing new in gameplay footage. They had the gull to mention curvy roads again. This is becoming a joke.

  13. Takeaways from the Haber Interview at Gamescom

    alex macnamara replied to StanislausBabalistic's topic in SimCity (2013) General Discussion

    i yelled and screamed after I saw the new trailer... "millions of ways to play" more like millions of reasons not to purchase

  14. Takeaways from the Haber Interview at Gamescom

    alex macnamara replied to StanislausBabalistic's topic in SimCity (2013) General Discussion

    95% of those questions have already been answered in community interviews! Talk about propa
  15. that thread got locked, but this thread is based on speculation based on new findings.
  16. You do understand this is now in beta form and there is no going back? Things are confirmed that this game is not what fans want. Actually your right, thanks for the heads up I had to fire up SC4 to be sure .

  17. How much do you crave for SimCity 5?

    alex macnamara replied to macb6497's topic in SimCity (2013) General Discussion

    I voted 1 for reasons of blatant discontent of the community.

  18. SimCity: Gameplay

    alex macnamara replied to RedMist's topic in SimCity (2013) General Discussion

    reaction goes like this........did I just play Societies again?
  19. agreed...this game will be a piece of garbage

  20. "Quantum Highways"?

    alex macnamara replied to Linoa06's topic in SimCity (2013) General Discussion

    were not gonna know any of this stuff until the game is out
  21. So you admitting going back to the just the core is "ok" ? In gaming there is no going back to the core, there is only going forward with games. And this game sure went backwards! I don't think a SimCity simulating every Sim, car, goods, resource, etc real time is going backwards. simulating every sim and resources is THE SIMS, not SIMCITY. Now as an added feature thats great, but this isnt an added feature, its the only feature. I pay zero dollars for a game with only 1 feature.

  23. I couldnt understand that article becsuae of the foriegn dialect, but it sounds as if it was made illegal to charge for a 2nd "online pass? "
  24. wouldnt this be a hoot........skyscrapers will refuse to grow on 3 lane one-way streets, but have no problem growing on 80 lane commercial strips
  25. just go search the official trailers yourself, I dont feel spamming the boards with redundant video imbedds is smiled upon the mods here.
