How industrial/commercial/residential work together in balance.Īs a Simcity noob I feel quite lost trying to get these and many other simple questions answered. Ideas for city planning and layout (Do I have to just build grids to fit everything in?!!) Where does freight go? (Commercial zone?) How to attract more medium wealth shoppers? (It says build more parks etc but I have a shit tonne of them so it can't be enough).

The kind of information I want to know is things like:Ī general guide on how to specialize your city on one thing effectively e.g coal, casino etc.

I just want a list that I can refer back to, of simple helpful facts. I also don't want to watch someone play the game on Youtube for 2 hours. In a bad way.I have honestly had a thorough google search and I can't find a really detailed and solid guide to playing Simcity 5. Simcity 2013's title and marketing sold a Simcity franchise title, but what we got was nothing like what we had played before. And that is why (along with the nissan leaf and crest advertising vs) people are pissed.

So why not just call it Simtown 2013 or Simcity Industries or SimPlayland or some other title that hints at the fact this isn't really a simcity game? Money. But it can be said that Simcity isn't really a Simcity game, or at least, huge steps back in the number of features and editable features of one's city. That is what Simcity 2013 is.įeatures lacking from Simcity 2013 that are available in previous Simcity's has been catalogued ad infinitum on this subreddit, so I won't go into them. Sure it may be a fun game, but it wouldn't be a Super Mario Brothers game. And all the advertisements before the games' release included features that never appear in the final product. Its like if Nintendo released "Super Mario 5", but it was a 2d platforming game and missing a bunch of stuff from the previous games No yoshi, no goombas, no underwater levels, no haunted houses, no stars. Nintendo took a franchise, created a fun spinoff, and took what they needed to make a solid gaming experience. This was before Garage Band, Super Smash Brothers, and all those games we play now when we have a few friends over to just hang out and have a few beers. It was fun to play tennis as Luigi and beat your buddy who was Yoshi. What started as a punchline became what we did Saturday nights (super dorks, but we wore that badge proudly). Party games? With the Super Mario characters? What a blatant money making shill. Your post sparked a memory from my college days, which I think explains why people are so frustrated at Simcity 2013.īack in college, when it was pretty popular to have a Gamecube in your dorm room, my friends and I laughed when they released "Mario Party".

I've tried to stay as much out of these flame posts as possible, but I can't anymore.
