  1. When you stop believing anything EA employees say, you don't get disappointed or letdown later when you find out they were lying.

  2. So what else is there to play?

    thebeasle replied to shaamaa's topic in City-Building Games

    I like this thread. Lots of titles I haven't heard of before. Tropico 4 + Modern Times is probably my favorite city-builder right now. CIM1 is fun. CIM2 is good and more in-depth but I don't think it has the same charm as CIM1. For a simulation title, I really enjoy Silent Hunter 5. That game wasn't very good at launch, but what the community modders have done with it over at subsim.com is really quite incredible.

  3. Amazon has SimCity for $39.99

    thebeasle replied to Board_Marshal's topic in SimCity (2013) General Discussion

    It's four dollars more than Starcraft 2 WoL - a game released three years ago that is actually good. A price drop this quickly is a bad sign for SimCity.
  4. Check the customer reviews from confirmed purchasers. Must be just everybody caught up in the rage! http://www.amazon.com/Electronic-Arts-41018ted-Edition2-SimCity/dp/B007VTVRFA
  5. Well beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I'm glad you enjoy the live service. Most people don't.
  6. You're right they have to make a game with broad appeal, not just appease us hardcore fans. Whoops! http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/simcity I understand your point that it's easier to criticize a game than to make one yourself, but the same thing could be said about music, movies, books etc. Other people are making great games, why can't EA? I'm really heartbroken with what they did with the series and am glad I decided not to pre-order after playing the beta. Serious question, after all the lies from EA does anyone still believe that SC2013 will support modding "eventually"?

    Great maps thank you!

  9. The problem is the glassbox

    thebeasle replied to Camlon's topic in SimCity (2013) General Discussion

    Hey TC I agree with you completely. Why give up so much great stuff about SC just to get Glass Box? I hated the beta because the maps were so small and the transportation options so limited that I couldn't do any meaningful urban planning. But some people like Glass Box and the new SC. If they enjoy playing the game and want to pay the money then good for them, but I'm going to be sit this one out.

  10. Just Played Beta

    thebeasle replied to a topic in SimCity (2013) General Discussion

    City size kills it for me. They'll probably release a mega-cities expansion pack for $50 in six months that will expand the city size. Right now it's about 2 square kilometers. I found that to be about 10 city blocks by 10 city blocks in the beta. You can't do any real urban planning with a map that small. Might take another look when/if the price drops and city size is increased.
  11. I never pre-ordered and I won't. If the game turns out to be good, I'll buy it. But I doubt that will happen. I'm speculating that EA will cut out modders with their always online game. They will probably force users to buy EA custom items from EA at the EA sims store. I could be wrong, but we are talking about EA here. As to those saying that casual gamers outnumber SimTropolis and hard core fans, they don't. Past games that went after casuals and failed: SimCity Societies and Microsoft Flight just to name a couple. I want this game to be good but I just don't see it happening.

  12. Maxis AMAA Transcript

    thebeasle commented on Firebird's article in Other Games

    They said they are simulating every unit, so you can actually watch a guy drive to work. That's pretty cool. I'm skeptical because SimCity Societies was so bad and I didn't like Spore very much. Still... it's new SimCity. I want to at least give it a shot.

  13. NHP Tallahassee Florida By blade2k5

    thebeasle commented on NHP's file in Maps

    Thank you for the map, but... Tallahassee has a lot of water. Most of the low points on this map are actually small lakes. Is there any way to correct this?
