  • I guess you don't know some of the women I do, then, if you think being a woman means you make a game less aggressive

    Perhaps some of the folks here have yet to MEET a real woman

              • The "hype" article was quite favorable.

                This is what I got out of it.

                They are dumping water and power lines (really good if you ask me). And adding a bunch of strange "sim-like" stuff for the people of the city to do. They are adding a bunch of touch-feely type of stuff, but you should be able to ignore it all and build the skyscraper jungle of yore.

                Edit: Plus it is supposed to be highly modable.

                • Power lines were already sufficiently abstracted (within zones). It would feel really weird to just place a power plant and not have to connect it to anything.

                  • But you can build a power plant and not connect it to anything in SC4. (and still supply power to an entire city)

                      SC4 was soulless, bad, lame

                        No you can't. You either have to put it next to a zone/building (implicitly connecting it) or build power lines from it to a zone/building.

                          A lot of SimCity fans are complaining about this, I wouldn't miss it though. Sure it would feel weird the first few times, but IMHO manually putting down water lines didn't really add anything

                          This is one of the few changes I like about this game

                          I sure hope so

                          • These days, any game that ISN'T "highly modable" isn't worth anyone's time or money. As games grow more complex and pressures build to get them out sooner, there's less time for quality assurance and balancing. Being able to mod games is one of the best things to have happened to computer gaming since its inception. Hard-coding an entire game is foolish and a waste.
                            The cake is NOT a lie. It's so delicious and moist.

                              I'm in if there's another 4 or 5 players.
