Anyone else keeping an eye on this? I'm excited about it but still a bit cautious about pre-ordering after the disaster known as Simcity 2013.

I'm keen to see what it's aboot actually. I wouldn't say SimCity was a disaster, as a city simulator genre game I think it excels. Just the small maps and the permanent online more (later patched) made people upset. But as a game it was great.
Then there's Cities XL which looks fantastic and the sheer size of cities you can build, it's like SimCity on 'roids. But I could never really get used to the UI (though better with mods) and as such looking forward to trying Cities XXL.

But yes, I've been curious about this. I'm just worried, it looks a little cartoon like for my taste.
 
Really keen on this, does look really cool and seems to fix the problems with Sim City.

If you want to see someone actually play the game from the begining Sips has a decent video:

Geez no i tried Simtown after each major patch and they still can't get the traffic right. Millions of sims were lost in the process.

I still have MemoryLeakXL but couldn't be bothered to install it.
 
Im gonna wait to see how this pans out. Sim City online was a complete disaster.

This is 1 of those games ill wait for a steam sale.
 
I waited until they added offline mode to Simcity and then picked it up, it's quite enjoyable. But the plot sizes are still ridiculous.

So is it better since they added the offline mode? Worth the purchase?

Depends how much you pay for it. I've seen the complete edition go for R200 and I think that's worth it. That includes the major futuristic expansion and all of the DLC.

You'll definitely be able to get value for money, and it's also fun reasonably fun if you can get friends to join you (and everything works)
 
it's receiving some good reviews. Currently has an Overwhelmingly positive user rating on Steam.
