no

just as reliable as the reviews from magazines these days

Yes. And if you can't see why, then there's really no point in explaining it to you, but I'll try. Sequels are not remakes. yet remakes are always compared with the originals. The principle goes for movies and series, there's no reason why this principle shouldn't be applied to games too. Unless, indeed, there's the fear that it won't stand up to what went before.About the only place where the comparison isn't readily made is in music, and even then. In other words: even if they're reviewing 'this' game it is right and proper to compare it to the older simcities. In as far as reviewers are actually worth anything anymore in this age of 9+ this and 9+ that, where obvious turds all too often get that 9+ because it's publicshed by a big publisher. Most reviews are a farce anyway.

I'm sure they mean sharing your villages

fanboyism...

It's not that meteorhits are impossible. They're rare but the few examples where people actually understood what happened have been spectacular in their destruction. (Tunguska in the early 20th century is quite famous) Meteors hitting earth is definately an issue that is taken serious in the appropriate circles, even if we can't do much to stop the rocks from hitting.

those buildings are very much a cliché. Disappointing.

patience is a skill that can be learned. If they didn't learn it, it's because someone wasn't willing to teach them. It seems we're missing both these days. we're going tits up. But we can conviently blame the '68ers

there's Buggi's boomtown idea a bit further down in the forum.

I still haven't heard were SC4 is complicated.

Sorry but I 100% disagree with this. We don't owe anything to Maxis/EA, and they don't owe anything to us. I certainly am not going to buy anything they put out just because past titles were excellent. Bottom line is I will buy the game if it looks good, but the information released lately has not made the game look any better in my eyes. We are still a long way from release and that may change. Maxis has given me many, many years of digital enjoyment. The least I can do is give their reboot of my favorite series a try. I've yet to see anything that DOESN'T look fun in the footage. I see plenty of people not giving it a chance though because they can't have a road with a special median, or a certain style of subway. Maxis (or EA, as Maxis is just a brandname nowadays) has given you nothing. You payed for it. That means that the accounts have been settled and neither of you owes the other anything

nothing. not buying

what corner? one might ask. Still lots of improvement possible on SC4

just started, not a dime payed, but I'll get stuck pretty fast since no of my friends plays this. Oh well
