Windows SimCity

Nope

 

Tomorrow is the big day, who's excited?

 

me!

 

well we in the uk have to wait until friday, however if you were dumb enough to pay £lol on origins store we EU peeps get access to it tomorrow,

 

I'm pretty excited!

 

Literally bouncing up and down in excitement. COME ON HURRY UP.

EDIT: Wait, Origin orders get it tomorrow? You sure? AWESOME.

 

Are the limitations mentioned earlier in this thread confirmed? Might wait for the DLC to drop rather than pay lolmonies then get RealRacing'd to death.

 

Yeah there was a lot of talk over on face punch about it, iirc one of the devs confirmed it on twitter.

 

Oh I'm in two minds about this. On the one hand I really want to play it, on the other, I'm hating all the day 1 DLC etc

Though this has just made my decision much easier. I will now definitely be waiting for a price drop and stability patches. - No way am I paying £30 for the privilege of not being able to play the game I've paid for.

 

Which ones?

The Day1 DLC is basically just the ability to buy the preorder bonuses.

 

Enjoyed the beta but a combination of piss taking prices (especially on origin) and this stupidness with the always on auth server is a no go for me. I'll wait for full reviews, patches and a decennt price reduction to compensate for all the BS.

 

I was hoping to play this at work, but that can't happen if it needs an internet connection.

Bad times.

 

That must be devastating for you! Not being able to play it at work and all....

 

I meant during lunch breaks....

Please boss I swear during lunch break, open the ports...

 

Ugh. Every time you switch servers you have to play the tutorial over again. Anyone know how to bypass?

 

Where do you all do your pre purchases?

I'm looking at UK Gamesplanet?

 

I always do mine on the ZiiP Gamestore. Beats the hell out of most places, currently a few quid cheaper than gamesplanet for the limited edition.

 

Seems like a bit of a washout tbh. Ars has very few positive things to say: http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2013/03/simcity-impressions-we-waited-ten-years-for-this

Definitely going to wait for the bug fixes, patches and subways. Hope they also enlarge the tinytinytinytiny cities too.

 

Yeah, even though it's new and fresh it still reeks of societies.

 

Well they lied, as it is still "unreleased" in my Origin account.

Whereas Polygon awarded a 9.5 score.

The city size is apparently going to be the target of an expansion or patch later on, but they're kept relatively small at the moment to allow the game to run on quite low spec PCs.

I imagine mass transit will be another expansion, just like Sim City 4's Rush Hour.
