It seems to me SimCity has three major flaws:
1) Lack of terraforming tools.
2) Small city sizes.
3) Bugs (including always online stuff).
Is there anything else the new game is missing or does wrong that makes it inferior to the past games? Just wondering, I have not played it, but I've heard very few critiques that don't focus on the above problems.
And AI.

To be fair, there weren't any dams or sewage pipes in Simcity 4, either. The sewage pipe system was somewhere buried in the system files, but non-functional and off limits. Honestly, the way water pipes and power lines worked in the former titles was more tedious (water pipes) or non-sensical (power lines) than anything else. Want to connect power? Just zone a one tile wide agricultural strip.Some of the other dumbing down complaints I've noticed:
- No partial funding of civic buildings, they're on or off
- Removal of density zoning (choose only the three basic zone types, density is determined instead by parks and traffic)
- No farms or subways
- Removal of several power plant types, including dams (I haven't seen anywhere that power plants wear down, so I'm guessing that's gone too)
- Removal of power lines, water pipes, and sewage pipes, reducing the need for planning - all automatically placed along with roads
I cannot fucking believe they actually think this is going to help their revenues.

EA Hires Hundreds of Chinese Spammers to Post Positively About SimCity’s Always Online Requirement
In an effort to downplay SimCity’s always online component that has rendered thousands of players unable to play the game due to unexpected maintenance, EA has hired hundreds of Chinese internet spammers to spin the news positively.
On gaming boards like GameFAQs, IGN and NeoGAF, new registrations have spiked causing some forum administrators to shut down registration. They have reported that a majority of the IPs originate from China and that those users have only posted in threads regarding SimCity complaints. Many share similar themes and phrases including:
“I like to think of this game as an MMO. You can only play MMOs online so I’m okay with this!”“Only losers like to play alone. We should make friends with all SimCity players for a better gameplay!”“Thank you EA for making sure our game will always be up to date!”“Our patience will be rewarded with a wonderful game!”“Don’t get a refund so soon, you should give EA another chance!”We spoke to one of these spammers in an exclusive interview:
Play4Real: Rumor has it that you are being paid by EA, is this true?citybuilder229: No, this is not true.Play4Real: Then why are you posting only good things about SimCity’s always online requirement?citybuilder229: Because I was told by EA representative to post them.Play4Real: But you said you weren’t being paid by EA.citybuilder229: I have not been paid yet.Play4Real: Oh, okay. Is there anything else you can tell us about this deal you made?citybuilder229: I am to be paid one RMB (approximately .16 USD) per good post I make.Play4Real: How many posts have you made?citybuilder229: 780.An EA spokesperson has denied these claims saying, “We would never stoop so low as to hire Chinese spammers to post positive spin about SimCity’s always online requirement. There is no reason to since the always online requirement is a good thing.”
It's a parody site. Almost fell for it though myself too.
We would never stoop so low
>hate is not a game
Meanwhile EA shits out billions of games where you kill russians and middle eastern people.
The critics they "endorsed", obviously. The game doesn't seem to be any better than CitiesXL, it even appears to have just as many bugs.I like how "consensus" is kind of just a thing you can pull out of your ass. Which critics say this? Which players? What constitutes "great" in this case? What does "fundamentally" mean? What is "fundamentally great" about SimCity? What evidence do you have to back that up? What other qualifications are attached to this claim?The good news is that SimCity is a solid hit in all major markets. The consensus among critics and players is that this is fundamentally a great game. But this SimCity is made to be played online, and if you can’t get a stable connection, you’re NOT having a good experience. So we’re not going to rest until we’ve fixed the remaining server issues.
