just watched the trailer, it looks awesome. I know if I buy it I'll never leave the house :/

**Azzurri** · 03-04-2013, 07:06 PM

One of the complaints I've heard is that the cities are pretty small.

**905brah** · 03-04-2013, 07:13 PM

**Finch000** · 03-04-2013, 07:22 PM

me and a bunch of buddies got it waiting for it to unlock in an hour and a half, I'd say check youtube for reviews

**EnglishBadTeeth** · 03-04-2013, 07:45 PM

playing it now brah, started a region called misc brahs so if you guys get on join up ****s
a lil annoyed it made me go through the tutorial again after doing it twice in each beta before

whatever, happy to play before the official march 8th release date.

will it be on Steam? already got enough DRM junk from game companies that all need extra individual programs that don't do jack sh*t but annoy me.

**tapout17** · 03-04-2013, 07:51 PM

It's online only...

**RubberDuckyBrah** · 03-04-2013, 08:00 PM

**Kharig** · 03-04-2013, 08:09 PM

i never understood the complaint about having to be online. its 2013, who doesnt have internet at all times when playing a game?

well some places that i go for work still do not have a decent internet connection. I have a good connection at home but when im traveling for work some places still dont. especially small towns in the middle of nowhere.

**hittman** · 03-04-2013, 09:23 PM

fuark can't wait for this sh!t

hopefully lag isn't a factor like D3 because no doubt there will only be EU and USA servers

i thought it had more to do with fighting piracy than actually 'being online'

given it's a PC exclusive, i can understand them wanting to go down this path
but this is a definite purchase for me, brb hours and hours of gameplay

I always liked simcity games. Fun as hell. Especially when you cheat, get an assload of money and blow it making crazy landscapes and the perfect city.

But since 4 was kind of not really and upgrade from 3000, will have to wait for reviews.

correction:

Waiting for user reviews.

Games that are reviewed before they are even released smell of bribing critics.

**vyronturner** · 03-04-2013, 09:52 PM

does anyone know any GOOD sim city type games for iphone?

**leafs43** · 03-04-2013, 09:56 PM

Watching cynical brits little youtube thing on Simcity....

The actual zone you can build a city looks sooooooo small. A decent size middle class housing area takes up almost 1/4 of the region.

**backintheda** · 03-04-2013, 10:50 PM

My brother is getting it tomorrow, I'll play around on his and see what I think. But with Heart of the Swarm coming out next week, who knows.

**Gazzilla** · 03-04-2013, 10:52 PM

Have to wait till Thursday in Australia to get this?:?? why do U.S get it earlier??

**OJAY** · 03-05-2013, 01:13 AM

Yes pre-purchased on Origin

**Purostaff** · 03-05-2013, 05:17 AM

origin was only 1-4 hrs late on their distribution, that's what the fus is all about. @simcity tweeted that servers were up when origin didn't unlock the download (didnt alow pre-loading) until hours later for some folks
also the servers filled up rather quickly so some couldnt even join to play by themselves
