It's been a while since I've been here. During that time I've lost my password, so I had log in via Google. Anyway, I've seen some people around here are sceptic towards the new SimCity game for not using semi-realistic graphics. My question is why so? Why is realism such an important aspect in this specific context? Is there some sort of "colour allergy" going on here? Maybe you have good reasons to feel that way. Perhaps these cartoonish aesthetics give you bad vibes for reminding of SCS. It could otherwise be that you want a simulation rather than a game. Idon't know, you tell me. Personally, I'm not that keen on realism in that regards. The muted colours and gritty textures would bore me to death, as it gives me the impression that I'm not supposed to have fun playing it. Also, I'm looking for a city creator rather than a city simulator, my experiences with SC4 were rather frustrating and hair-pulling. So maybe I should look elsewhere, like Minecraft.
