[Megathread] SimCity 5

[Deleted]

lol i find it funny how it says you expect better - i didn't even have any problems, because i didn't play it on launch, i simply enjoyed the game the day after.

Uhh so apparently EA decided to give me a free game for putting up with all the problems of SimCity..

I chose Mass Effect 3. Hope its good.

You're in for one hell of a ride.

Ok. I am having a problem with residential demand. My map if full. What is the fastest way to increase it once the map is full?

[Crissi]

derp, got an invite but apprantly the map is now full since a few people took 2 plots each -_- I hate to keep asking btu does anyone have any room for Zardia on EU West 6?

Anyways working on my traffic problems in my solo cities. Getting better I think.

the problems lasted a while after launch, if you wasn;t affected by the problems you was probably very lucky :P

I highly recommend you play the previous games before playing ME3. If nothing else just because the default savegame for ME3 is really gimped.

dead space or battlefield :S Yeh play mass effect 1 and 2 before 3 if you get into the story some parts like me2 intro cinematic are heart breaking :P

Just did a clean install of the OS so have to reinstall simcity5 even though it is on an external hdd, damn origin -,-

[Hulari]

Went with dead space 3. Loved the first two and my mate wants to do co-op so no reason not to get it. Never liked Mass Effect.

I totally don't know where I go wrong
I manage to have a balanced RCI I keep an eye on workforce and sold goods I upgrade roads only when needed, try to put service in a as more central position as possible but at some point it all snowball to death and I struggle to keep positive balance

BF3 Premium is now 50% off. Might be a good time to that instead.

[Crissi]

I took ME3. Reinstalling ME1 and 2 on my laptop since the games on my desktop were wiped because of hardware going bad, which means a good 50+ hours of playing the first 2 games just to get to 3 o.O

[dandex]

Is need for speed worth choosing?

I already have BF3 and ME3

and i never tried dead space before.

So the one thing the meteor hits is my Town Hall. Talk about a nightmare since that was destroyed my sewage and water treatment stopped working because I didn't have the module cause it was destroyed. So glad my fire department was the regular as I didn't have enough money to send out Maxis Man and they were able to get the fires out after it burned downed five or six buildings.

Almost went bankrupt cause I have 3/3 bonds out and was bleeding money but luckily 11% taxes saved me. And my one casino raking in 20k a day wasn't terrible either in that situation. I just wish Maxis Man did more without paying for him like Dr Vu boosts industry. I make almost as much from Industry as I do from commercial with VU's tower and half the amount of Industrial zoning.

I took Dead Space 3 as my free game. Never played any in the series, should be interesting.

[pucko97]

I took medal of honor warfighter because I have already played the other games and I dont like the dead space series so, did I chose the right game(or is MoH any good)?

Can't wait for them to add the traffic pattern change. Refuse to make one long highway and tired of using medium roads to avoid lights. My processor city of 160k has a bunch of roads, with only two roads by the biggest towers eating up most traffic, grid locking and blocking recycling trucks.

The all residential city is coming along well though, even if commuters still make traffic. Kind of wish it was this easy making people happy playing the right way.

I hope the fix they the amout of load recycle truks can handle. I got a city with 155k pop and like 4 recycle centers, with 58 trucks, and they only pick like 70% up

How many cans? Sometimes it's buggy, but I'm guessing traffic or they just can't get there in time, especially not with that many trucks stepping on each other. My fully educated 180k city has one center and picks up most recycling, unless they hit gridlock.

[Deleted]

Well, I once hit the bug then stop doing everything. I read on a forum, that u have to stop sending them to other cities and demolish 1 center en rebuild it. That helped the bug. I have a single road city so almost no trafficjams. Almost 200k pop




btw there a still some free spots in my region
