Simcity is it any good now

Is the game playable now or does it lag like shit.

Are all the bugs fixed and stuff??

Is it worth getting??

Still the same tiny smoke and mirrors garbage that it was before :P

havn't played in a while. Deep down it's a good game. If i paid full price i would been mad but i picked it up for $32

SO Wait  AT LEAST $20 or so where you feel good about the price  OR they release bigger areas...

Probaby the worst game i've played in many, many years.

Tried playing it a week ago. It's still garbage. Worth maybe 5-10 dollars, if that. It's all shiny graphics with no substance.chrisrooR

Even the graphics are not all that shiny.

Agreed. And I was so hyped for the game too. 

I was considering it for 30 but thats stiff too high for me because of all the bad stuff i heard about it. Shame really in the mood for a city building game.

Or i can just wait for Tropico 5 that one will probably be   super good.

I was thinking of getting it but after reading comments i think i will change my mind.

Last good city building game i played was anon 1404, the new one sucked.

Try out Tropico, perhaps you will like that.

It has gotten alot better actaully with updates.

There is still no bigger cities but other than that it has really cleaned up well.

Id still say Anno 2070 is the best option for this type of game (simcity 4 and Tropico4 are good to), but there is still alot of fun to be had in SimCity right now if you don't mind smaller maps and being online. The two free areas they have released in updates have been very good ones to.

Bottomline is it is alot better than it was on release week, is it perfect now? No but it is alot better.

I had played tropica demo long back and i didnt liked that at all. Just saw cities XL and graphics sucks

That is not true, the new one is arguably the best one in the series, it has the most depth forsure. Only thing that can realy be argued about it is the setting, some prefer the old school settings of hte older games to the future style setting of the new one.

What tropico game did you play ? The series has changed and improved over time.

I dont rember which one it was but demo had a arabic guy giving instructions about game.

I didnt liked anon 2070 at all. I generally dont like futuristic stuff i hate mass effect.

Stick with Sim City 4 and 3000.

Although Sim City 3000 is kinda outdated now.

Maps too small and the simulation feels broken, it's something you notice after playing awhile though.Tixylixx

I personally like that they put some constraints on you so your city had to be some kind of city rather then a borg-like-city you saw in so so many cities in past SimCity games.

but the simulation does feel broken.

I'll have a city that is just transitioning to larger one, and i'll get nailed by fire department and police city asking for a regional police/fire station. I'll only have half of the small map being occupied and actively being developed, and the police will just cluster in one small corner not spread across the city. The fire department won't send it's fire trucks even as multiple fires rage through the city (and you have no way of commanding them like you did in past games), and my trolley-mass transit won't spread the cars out but again cluster them near each other.

really only things i wish it really really had were:

1. better AI

2. bigger maps (not asking gigantic ones, just at least twice as big as the current ones).

3. offline mode

4. more inner-city mass transit options.

that's it, that's all i'd really like to see. but i think what they're gonna do instead is try to turn SimCity into a Sims sort of thing with endless content DLC.

Let's see, still has:

1.  Small maps that don't allow much in the way of building an interesting, realistic, sprawling city.

2.  No real terraforming to speak of.

3.  Poor simulation.

4.  Still requires Origin and dealing with EA's garbage to play.

It boggles my mind that the simple concept of city buidling game can be mutilated so badly.  Regardless, as others have said there are better options out there.

How can some1 screw up so much stuff in a single game

Boy, I bought it on release day as it was my bday.  Played it a couple days and haven't touched it since.  Not sure enough evidence to pick it up again.

Let me sum this up for you and make it easier. if EA has anything to do with it, then it sucks.

The top two of Maxis resigned and started a new studio...need more evidence how disappointed they are with Simcity? Also, I really love Anno2070, but you gotta love the future setting.

Let's hope their new studio is interested in making city building games. So we see some of the greatness of the older Simcity games again.

map size blows because you can fill it up in an hour, and the 'simulation' is fake.  You can build nothing but houses and have a successful city. There's no strategy to it, you win every time

considering the features of Sim City 4, a game from 10 years ago, are more interactive, fleshed out, and has actual choice....then sim city 2013 comeso ut and throws it all away, there's no excuses.

I still enjoy it. I haven't played it in over a month though. Overall, I think the game is playable and definitely can hold one's attention for quite some time before moving on.
