Title: Simcity Region
Post by: Nyssa on March 05, 2013, 09:40:50 am
Hi,
So Drunz has been kind enough to start a private region for him and I and anyone else who has the game and would like to play with us.
If you would like to, PM Drunz on the forums with your origin name and he will send you an invite when he can.

One city per person and no griefing.

If you have any questions PM Drunz or I. (Don't PM asking to buy it for you)

EDIT: 14 city spots left

5, 2013, it's called just plain Simcity but it's the one that literally just released a few hours ago.

I used to love the original games when I was younger. So much fun.

I doubt I'll be able to buy the game in time before all city spots are taken. But I'll definitely try buying it. XD

SimCity comes out on disks on the 8th in the UK so will probably get that rather than download it with my speeds, though will look when I get home. Big fan of SimCity, spent hours playing it when I was younger. My name's yb0t on origin I think (with a zero), toby backwa... don't ask. Anyway, if you got free spots left save one for me :P

Also, heard some bad things about the online service of the game. Are there problems?

EDIT: Changed name to Tobs7444 :)

We have 16 spots, 2 of which are currently taken or (reserved) One for myself and one for Nyssa. That leaves 14 so we have plenty of space open for anyone who wants to join, I might expand to another city if I get the chance.

It's had a rough start but it's an always online game so there's no way around it unfortunately.
Also I couldn't find Tobs7444 on Origin. =X

Had I not spent $200 on other games in the past month, I'd have picked this one up.
I'll wait for a sale to get it. Or maybe when my 20% discount on Gamersgate works as cash back instead of credit.

How is it so far?

Sim City 3 was one of the first games that I ever played. I don't know if he'll buy it in time, but I'll ask my dad to pick up a copy. He was a big fan of the game as well.

Same.

Mine hasn't unlocked yet, only Drunz has played so far.

It won't be on steam as it's an EA title and they all go on Origin.

ORIGIN IS BAD, KIDS.

Post by: Kurseddragon on March 06, 2013, 09:16:13 am
That is also why I'm hesitant to buy this game. :P
I feel like I could get more out of spending $60 on multiple games rather than one. I'll just "obtain" previous SimCity's to tide me over.

ORIGIN IS BAD, KIDS.

I tried to get my Spore game (Best game evar) moved to my Clawstrider account, and they deleted the first game key, never gave me a second one, and are now not answering my emails :(

But yeah, if I do get it at some point (Really liking the look of it), I'll let you guys know

strange.. why is simcity 4 on steam then?
Title: Re: Simcity Region
Post by: Tobs on March 06, 2013, 10:26:14 pm
I ordered the disk version earlier, it should be here by Friday or Saturday. Knowing UK postage though, it will be Friday or Saturday next week but we'll see. At least I wont have to wait longer for it to download :P

strange.. why is simcity 4 on steam then?
It may be because SimCity 4 was released in 2003 (2010 on Steam), Origin was released in 2011. Not one hundred percent sure though...

It was made long before origin was a thing.

I like origin......

I was more or less mad at EA and blaming Origin.

There was no preload for Simcity and was suppose to release at 12:01am EST I didn't get to download it till like 3:05ish am EST. Oh and origin makes you install simcity with a launcher inside of a launcher lol. Its odd but to be fair I didn't like steam either when I first got it, but EA is shit.

I played it for a good 3 hours today and i really like it. If it wasn't for the worst launch in history this game would be amazing.

Was going to buy it, then heard about the DRM problems.

Was probably going to buy it, then I heard they started disabling stuff, like speeding up time.

Not going to buy it for a while...

Ya wait for a bit until it all gets sorted out.

Ugh, there's a way to get this game for $27 right now, but I'm scared to spend that much money 'cause I have not stopped spending money for 3 months now. And the way to get it seems kinda bad. D:

I'll be honest, until they won't sort out the whole DRM problem I'm not going to buy it.
