personally i refuse to buy games with a required internet connection. I hate the idea that something i pay full price for may be unplayable if the servers are down, the company decides to stop supporting the game, or the company goes under. I also play alot of games when my internet is down (a common occurance since my county has shitty infrastructure so power and internet go out a few times a year and i've been stranded without internet for over a week more than once) so i hate the idea that some of my games may be useless when i have nothing else to do. It also makes zero sense when the game is 90-100% single player like this.

Arthas Menethil almost all of the old origin games have obligatory internet connection, I recently got mirrors edge on a giveaway but it says that to play a single player game I need to be online just to check license's and the leaderboards and the old games are broken because you can't connect to the license server because the way the game connect to the servers doesn't work so you have to download a patch online to just fix it, and EA has done nothing to fix it, this is why i hate EA, they have some good games but ruins them with stupid features, examples: battlefront 2 with it's loot boxes, the always online with old games, I just hate the decisions EA takes.

Cities: Skylines will save you.

the biggest problem with simcity 2013 was that, because of size limitations, every city eventually ends up looking more or less the same if you want it to work right. There's a specific way to optimize where and how things are set up, and every city I've seen seems to end up with a very similar structure in the end. Endless possibilities my ass..

Naw, the _biggest_ problem was that the city simply didn't work like a real city because the agents had no memory. Every day each sim wakes up and tries to go, not to _their_ job, but to the nearest open job. Every evening, they don't go to their home, but to the nearest open home of their wealth level. And if someone else gets there first, they have to change routes. This results in a city which has totally ass-backwards behaviour and when sims can spend their entire lives driving between destinations they never actually reach, or huge blobs of sewage can circulate a perfectly adequate drainage system making everyone sick because another blob of sewage kept arriving at the treatment station when it was their turn.

But it also does inspire, if not many some of the pirates. Because selling a product and then wrenching part back to resell is unethical. So they see little reason to care about the companies well-being. Ultimately to achieve what people like EA want, it would take an authoritarian overtake of the internet. However the backlash would be vast, if they tried. So let's hope they aren't that stupid.

On C64s, the floppy drive had as much processing power as the main Unit! Your point, anyways, is a bit over-the-top. While DRM was frustrating and counterproductive, it wasn't so bad that it killed profits, and it didn't discourage companies, because when a big hit came along, DRM easily paid for itself.

And then this game managed to get 10 patches(when i stopped playing it was on v10.1), Didn't fixed all the bugs, the devs admitted that the GlassBox engine didn't simulated the sims as supposed to( from its home, to work, back home again), it just spawned a sim, who got to the nearest empty workplace, and then to the nearest empty house at night. after that EA removed all devs from the SimCity project, the forums turned into a wasteland( there was one mod left, tho said that the devswere in a secret project and in total radio silence) and after that maxis went under....

Run. Run right to Cities Skylines. They did things right. They fixed the emotional scars.

@marcopolo3001

9 жыл бұрын

General Cabbagehead I took a day or so to get into it. Trust me its rewarding when you start seeing how it plays. The approach is different. In Simcity you can already zone a town of 100 with high density commercial and residential or industrial. This to me now in hindsight seems abit unrealistic of Simcity. But because I was so used to it, I never imagined that in reality cities have to grow to a certain population or density to allow for such higher zoning. Landscaping is also more varied than Simcity, you can fill bits in between buildings with markets or plazas and not just trees. Cities XL does give you all the zoning eventually. You just need to keep making that city bigger, its like in real cities to be honest. The approach is different, but then having tall buildings becomes an accolade rather than just for the sake of making places tall from the get go. I would recommend giving it a try. The maps are larger and it has alot to offer. Or you can wait until Cities Skylines or Cities XXL is out. I played Simcity 4 for almost 10 years. Now I just want a game that does what Cities XL does and more. I will still play my Simcity 4 Rush Hour from time to time, but Cities XL is where its at for me. And soon that will change to Cities XXL and Cities Skylines. At least until Simcity make the next offiial Simcity 6 and large maps.

There are two mods that let you use SimCity 4 music in C:S (it's awesome to play with; nostalgia of SC4 with the benefits of C:S). And it's worth mentioning that C:S does actually have an agent-based system like SimCity (2013), it's just so much less shit that it doesn't buckle under the strain of a few tens of thousands of agents. As for watching them go do stuff...Rush Hour mod (and After Dark too I guess). Still in beta and it'll hit your performance for sure, but it's there.

I had to pause this review after the first minute, because I was doing something else in the background, and this started sounding like an awesome review, so I didn't want to miss anything. :-D

I bought this game in march 2013 and didn't have internet (I feel dumb for not reading the label) and finally downloaded it in march 2014 when it was half the price. Simcity 4 is my favorite

And they have an Antarctica server! -Because every scientist exploring penguin habits has a steady internet connection and a computer to play the game on-

After more than a year has passed since launch, I gotta say.... What killed the game for me was just how mucch the simulation itself was dumbed down to make the agent system work. No persistent workplace and home for sims? No age brackets for students, just a large pool that schools, high schools and colleges and universities share? The complete clusterfuck that mass transit always becomes because you literally cannot plan or reliably observe the routes commuters will take? Looking under the hood on this game just shattered my illusion, and I'd rather play thee good old simcities after that.

As a long time fan of SimCity, this was such a disappointment. It was very promising at first but EA had to screw it up with their idiotic decision to make it a mandatory internet connection game. Even putting the internet issues aside, the overall limited gameplay and features compared to its predecessors just didn't cut it for me.

I love watching your reviews. The biggest thing that pissed me off in this game was the fact that to have a dense city with tons of high rises, every freaking road would have to be a high density road... So glad Paradox gave us Skylines

It says on each game page which service the game is for. In the case of SC4 Deluxe, it's on Origin.

I remember that me and a couple of friends played the cracked version of the game EVEN AFTER BUYING IT. Just because it worked so much better and was more reliable than the actual online version of the game...

SimCity series didn't die, it was brutally murdered and butchered in cold blood by EA. Just like hundreds of other popular AAA games they killed.

They should have called this game Sim City Online so they could release a true Sim City 5 without an online requirement. All they needed to do was make a souped up Sim City 4 with better graphics, it is disappointing that they fucked it up so bad. At least there is Cities Skylines now, I like that game.

skyline has feature because you don't need cut the map

Thanks, glad to hear! And I use a Blue Snowball.

I could seriously just watch your videos all day!

"Please don't disconnect" is his city's name LOL!

10 years later. And I think a better name for this would be SimCity: DRM Edition.

Agreed

Lol, I like your voice so much that sometimes I just put it on in the background while I browse. Not to mention I like your reviews a lot, especially the sims 3 ones! You're probably my favorite game reviewer.

Whats the name of the track did you play at 4:48?

You have Hexen box in the background in the beggining. You made a city named Hexen. Hexen is the *second* game in Raven's series (after Heretic) = *2 years*. Which means 2 years after this review there _surely_ will be a Hexen review! *15.3.2015* will be awesome. I think I'm overthinking way too much... :D

The Cities XL games are just as, if not more, broken than this one. But in different ways. The biggest problem with the XL games is the performance, even on high-end systems. It is terribly optimized and is darned near impossible to play once you reach populations of 60,000 - 100,000 and up. And it was also developed as a multiplayer game originally, and since those features have been removed, it makes regional resource management a pain. At least you can play it offline and mod the thing.

Excellent in depth review. You are very good at this.

I gotta say, the only thing I wish cities skyline has that simcity does, is that add-ons you can add to service buildings

I noticed Sim City and the Sims 4 games maps are constricting.

Oh man, that review punched me right in the gut, thanks for actually being an honest reviewer, dude.

I really like the way you review things! I'm so glad I found out about you now! *subscribes*

The SC2K retrospective really adds a retrospective to this review. The closing line hits harder knowing the guy saying it dressed up as the SC2K retail box for halloween when he was 10.

I never realized until now just how large of a dump Cities Skylines is taking on SimCity, especially considering that Cities Skylines was developed by a team of less than 10 people...

“$60” **seven years later you can get the whole simcity 2013 collection for $7**

LGR,You always nail your review,tell them as it is!!!

I've always listened to your reviews because I'm slightly in love with your voice -_- -- stop making it sound so smooth.

4:49 this person should have made music for cities skylines

Of course! And it's a nice gesture, but I'd much rather just have the game that I bought and paid for working properly than a desperate apology door prize.

i don't know why but you sound a little bit like Ashen when you read some of the text on the box. I'm so glad i subscribed to you, thanks for sharing the games from my childhood :D

Well done LGR you manged to give an honest review without bias even though you are a massive Simcity fan and not many people have done that. thumbs up for you.

Love it when I have a 70-90% residential big city with proper transportation and it says there's a worker shortage everywhere

"But they tend to be mindless and enter whatever building is closest" And that's the major problem which causes the whole game to constantly collapse. Well that and the fact that the day is 30 minutes long but Sims move at a normal speed. So 5 minutes of traffic that should be no big deal or even one single stoplight means a Sim isn't going to school or their job anymore or getting to a hospital before dying. It means fires aren't being put out now. And for reasons that boggle the mind, electricity and water and sewage are all agents. Because that's how electricity works right? A little man walks through the wires...

but is there any point in that duke release? when say u have all the official expansion packs and use the fan made HD engines? PS i actually went out my way to search for all the MAP packs, including all the unofficial ones... it was such a pain but i found them O_O

I started with SC Classic, and am now an avid Cities: Skylines player. Looking back at this review, you got it so right. Once you filled the map, it was all about gridding out the space to get in all the stuff your city needed to be successful. And as someone else on this thread pointed out, everyone's city ended up looking pretty much the same. I wore the final iteration of SC out within about 10 days. I played SC4 until I saw Cities: Skylines. I went back and played it a little, and kind of still liked it. Now SC4 seems so simple. Cities: Skylines is just a way richer experience, especially with all of the fantastic mods (free, by the way).

We really should have seen it coming when it came to the sims 4.

That ESRB tag was also false advertising.

How

Sir. You have saved me and my big brother so much money. You've made my upcoming birthday much happier with a lot less headache. THANK YOU - Mikado

I like how this Simcity review has (currently) roughly 700k views while the City Skylines review has 1.1 million views.

This is the LGR review I always keep coming back to because it's so hilarious

I recommend it. It's only 10 bucks now and there are no more server problems.

Thank you for the most unbiased review of sc2013 on the website and actual gameplay critique rather than blaming lack of parental guidance and social growth on video game developers. Informative, rational and very pleasant to listen to.

I'm not a big gamer, though my sons are, but I am a Huge Sims fan in every aspect and I absolutely Love your reviews. Keep them coming!!!

The city on the box is much larger and has a lot more features than anything you can build in the game.

Antarctica...?

6:11 I love that one corner House!

Rewatching this in 2019. I bought the game back then. Hated it. Getting more joy out of revistiing this old trainwreck NOW through the review. C:

Rating: E10+ EA rating: you must be 13+ to play

And after this game I never bought anything from EA ever again :)

Thanks for the review, I have heard a lot about this game and there was so much hype, but now everybody is saynig its broken and makes you tear your hear out. Thank you for explaining that in a simple way.

I really liked the zoom in to the air strip with the sims running into the tip of the airplane.
