Very Nice, that last shot actually put me in mind of Hepburn Heights in GTAIII, I was half expecting a telephone to be ringing in the distance. I was watching that at first with the sound off, and I had The Grid by Philip Glass playing in my head.

Do they still have the disaster situations? I've love to see a meteor or a godzilla hit that track thing.

Yes they do. They are f*cking annoying though and completely random, though apparently they are dependent on what you do. I had a giant lizard attack me twice and trip had zombies. Plus you can summon them too, though you need to unlock them by doing certain things.

Well, look at this.

 

Nice roller coaster. IRL, people would go crazy making turns like that.

WHAT ? You're serious ? Disasters... are RANDOM ? MOTHERF*CKING RANDOM ? No, that's it, I'm not buying this game. Or any other game Maxis make.

I assume that's sarcasm. If you play in Sandbox mode disasters are disabled, so meh.

 

Did anything change in the last days? I haven't played the game in a while now because I had a lot to study and had an assessment center appointment so I had no time to play the game at all anymore sad.gif.

Sim City must have one hell of a skate park or very badly scaled houses.

Funny thing: It wasn't sarcasm. But now that I look at it again, it seems a lot like sarcasm. Well whatever.

 

So there is a sandbox mode? What's different between it and normal mode?

You start off with 1 million dollars, cheats are enabled, everything is unlocked at the start, random disasters don't happen (player control ones I think can still be used) and achievements are disabled. So it really takes the challenge of the game and throws it out the window. But it can be useful in trying different ideas for cities.

Feels like we should have had another patch by now. Things are oddly quiet. I haven't been poking too far for info, but you'd think we'd be hearing about future patches and the continuation of this 'oh no EA killed Sim City and Maxis now sucks' drama or...hype for future DLC.

You should add there facebook account trip they update that quite alot. There's a new patch in the works talking about stats, casino fixes to make them more profitable, and the recycling bug fix. I think they have been fixing the game more than worrying about the n3xt bit of DLC.

GTAF is the extent of my social networking. biggrin.gif

Thanks for the update. Honest.

 

I was kidding with the DLC part. We know they can't say squat about anything other than fixes and making people happy for a quite a bit longer. I'm sure there is a room full of marketing people that are all charged up because they thought the launch would be smooth and they could do their DLC thing.

So in one of my cities i had a zombie outbreak... and holy christ does it devastate. 75 of my buildings are abandoned. I took a screenshot of my downtown area. I'll post it when i get a chance to upload it.

 

 

 

LOL apparently the servers couldnt handle my city being left in ruins from that zombie outbreak and now i have to roll it back. lmao.

so wait.

 

if you don't want to play in Sandbox mode, there's no way to disable random disasters??

because that's pretty retarded.

 

I mean, random disasters is not a "challenge."

that's just unfair tounge2.gif

 

oh look, everything is going well. you must be good at this game.

guess what? f*ck you! alien invasion! half of downtown is wiped out! hope you enjoyed the "challenge" lol...

You never played Simcity 4, eh... If you build a detailed city, it can take you weeks, months...

I have played SC4. In fact i just bought it again via steam a few days ago. My issue is that i dont care for industrial cities. i much more prefer towering residential and commercial skyscrapers.

 

Its kinda OCD-ish because I fight with myself when it comes to putting ANY industry in my cities lol. I think it was an issue of where my City specializations werent built up because i have to force myself to build any of it lol.

Oh.. One of the SimCity lead designers has left EA.

To be more exact, the "Online lead for Spore and SimCity"..

Thanks man. I'm still doing my 'just got home' chaos running around/multitasking and such...no time to read words tounge.gif .

 

5PM PST is like 9pm here....arghh!!!

 

 

Edit:

Got the update. I only had a small amount of time to play and test stuff out, but so far the 2.0 upgrade seems cool. Things seem way smoother with traffic and service vehicles. My dying Stinktown seems to be making money with the recycling and making whatever little electronic devices I'm making.

 

I still seem pinched for water.

Well it seems that the 2.0 patch broke more than repaired.

 

So I just leave this here. smile.gif
