Video Games SimCity - Page 7

Game is buggy as ****, even putting aside all the stupid server issues.

Traffic is just redonk. I have 16 buses. Why are they all following each other to every stop? It causes massive traffic jams. I watched a truck leave a warehouse, drive down an avenue, pull a u-turn, drive the other way, u-turn AGAIN, only to keep driving in the same direction to the end of the city, turn around and pull back into the warehouse. W. T. F. It's buggy as ****. Not to mention the moving trucks that don't know wtf they're doing. I have a few entrances into the city from the highway, but they all take the first exit, then drive THROUGH the city, clogging it up. Instead, they should go down to the exit they need, get off and then go across to the building. Dumb, dumb, dumb.

Population of workers is never enough. It's bugged to shit and back, too. There's no reason that I should have to fill up 80% of available land space with residential to create more workers when only 10% of my workforce is actually working, anyway. Region play is broken, so you can't get workers from elsewhere. Education levels are right in the middle -- not too high, not too low, and that's exactly where this particular city is at. Middle development. Yet, with a pop of 75,000, I still need more workers. Makes no sense. i HAVE TEN PERCENT EMPLOYMENT. WHAT THE ****, DUDES?

I am also getting air pollution in places upwind of industry as far away as they could possibly be on the map geographically.

You purchased the wrong game, instead of SimCity, you got SimBama.

Jesus Christ this. Buses literally follow each other around. A fire station at on a busy road, unmoving traffic Jam when the truck attempts to leave the station. Traffic is messed up and I have to wonder if it affects sims ability to find jobs, because I have employment issues as well.

I blame the regions problems on the servers. I wasn't even able to sell electricity between cities last night.

Wait, so I gather after reading the last few posts that you have to be online and EA's servers have to be working in order for you to play this game? Is that true? If so, I am not gonna bother.

yep, like ****ing Diablo 3. Its bullshit that you have to have a internet connection to play some single player campaigns.

PC owns consoles though amirite.

The only thing I want to know is what is the free game? If anyone has heard please let me know.

**Saulbadguy** · 03-09-2013, 03:30 PM

Buses, police cars, fire trucks, etc - have no idea how to get where they are going.

My citizens have been protesting for "crime" for my entire game, even though there is very little crime.

Tropico 4 with all DLC is available for $9.99 on steam. For anybody that has played it, is that worth it?

IDK, never played 2070. I would imagine they're both very similar games in terms of mechanics?
