Honestly? It's totally playable. It's a totally different experience to Cities: Skylines though. The scale of SimCity is way smaller, and the depth of details available in Cities: Skylines is way, way larger - but it's still a fun, casual city-builder and I really enjoy it now because of those differences. It's also interesting to see some of the things SimCity did in 2013 that Cities: Skylines would go on to do years later, such as using things like Ore Mines and Oil Wells to make metals and plastics, that you can then send into a factory to make goods that you can then export. I also love the modular buildings available in SimCity, and think it's really cool being able to expand a single power plant into something slightly more powerful for a fraction of the cost, rather than having to spend money, at full-price, on a completely new building.

The thing I love about this games is that it actually simulates real days instead of having no real schedule. For example sims will go back home at night and sleep and will go to work in the morning causing a morning rush hour, schools also wont be open all day like in Cities skylines and it just feels much more authentic, there should be a mod for that in cities skylines.

Sadly they achieved this by absolutely cheating with the engine. Yes, sims leave their homes in the morning and return back home in the evening- but not the same home. The individual agents will leave their home, search for an appropriate job in their radius, and go fill that. In the evening, they'll leave the job, search for an appropriate home, and go back to that. This was one of the many (many (MANY)) reasons map size was so small - if your city got too big, it ended up with a "wave" behavior" of skilled/unskilled jobs sloshing back and forth, greatly destabilizing the surrounding economy, which then resulted in an uncontrolled downward spiral. That combined with a horrid pathfinding led to things looking nice, but being utter and complete cr...aziness.

Many parts of SimCity were superior to cities skylines, but its main failing was it was limited, so maps were too small was the main thing. There were also the online issues and lack of modding. But it had so many great ideas, like the expandability of buildings, if you need more capacity in a school, make it bigger, same with power stations etc.

Not only that, but that the population it showed was scaled exponentially at some point, making balancing a total mess in a large town. Because it looks cooler when it says 500k instead of the real value of 13,5k, or something like that. It was proved from leaked sourcecode.

The "always online" was what did it for me. EA's consistent use of "hey, we know this is a SP game mostly, but you have to use up any data you may have [because yes, some people did and still do have data caps] on loading up this game!" was the final nail in the coffin for me and EA. Since then the only games from EA I've bought are DAI (because I have written 1000 pages of DA fanfic so of course I did) and MELE (which was a gift from my son because he was unaware I was boycotting them). My review of C:S back in the day was basically "does what EA games claimed was impossible". [almost 10 years! Whut???] I do love watching Dylan's videos of it though. :D

So adding social classes, inherent friction between them and even lobbying for policies by them would be fantastic, building a dystopia can be way more fun than building a utopia.

I can't believe this game is almost 10 years old already. I remember being so hyped for it when it was announced. I played it a lot and was definitely disappointed. I liked a lot of things, like the expandable buildings, the regional megaprojects, etc... But things like the power delivery SUUUUCKED. The "electricity balls" just bounce around randomly. Which means the further away from a power plant a building is, it's statistically less likely to get power. So my cities always ended up having a huge power surplus, but some buildings wouldn't have power if they were too far away. UGH. Also only having 1 road into / out of the "city" (more like neighborhood) meant every city had a huge traffic bottleneck. Also no terraforming, which was one of my favorite parts of SC4. But Cities: Skylines fed my cravings.

Did you ever buy the cities of tomorrow DLC. I did and really enjoyed the different aspects of it with the drones and mega towers. Was awkward to get the balance right with the mega towers which I'm assuming was there way of increasing population in a city without adding more space on the map. Oh and Omega Co I used to really enjoy the money making aspects of Omega Co until eventually the government find out its a mega health hazard

The megatowers were tough to implement on my maps because they were always so hard to balance. If I remember correctly, the population in megatowers didn't really leave the tower too much. They would stay inside their tower and claim unemployment even if there were jobs around the megatower

Cities Skylines is undoubtably the best city builder on the market, but SimCity 2013 in some aspects like the moving trucks, and the real days (sims going to work in the morning, coming home at night) is far superior (Yes I know there are mods for this for CS, but I'm talking strictly Vanilla)

i love the aesthetic of this game. the tilt-shift, vibrant colours, the philip glass-esque music that plays, it's honestly a lot more appealing than CS. cities skylines looks fine (and can be improved with LUTs and other graphical mods), and most importantly it plays much better, but it just lacks some of that unique pizzazz that simcity games have. especially the music, it's considerably better in simcity, whereas in cities skylines it's quite forgettable and a bit bland.

@0:59 "No one got early access." I got early access. Well, I mean, there was a limited beta release. The beta experience was far superior to the release day experience as the servers weren't overloaded and beta didn't have access to the later game bugs (many of which were never fixed).

I think this game just needs a reedition do that it is optimised for today's computers to get bigger cities, I think the other problem is the fact cities are not placed next to eachothers like in simcity 4, this game would totally surpass simcity 4 and city skyline

Always online and making design decisions around multiplayer in a city builder killed this game and rightfully so. I think EA walked back the always online part after a year or so, but the damage was already done and all goodwill spent. It's a shame; this could have been a great game had EA focused on improving the SimCity experience for their core audience instead of chasing the ephemeral 'wider audience' and thus alienating nearly everyone that was a veteran SimCity 1-4 player.

This game had some great potential in theory, but unfortunately, somewhat failed to deliver on it. Expandable buildings would be incredible for example, as no two power plants are gonna be actually the same. Unfortunatly, the way its set up its closer to leveling up buildings vs making each building its own thing. I do hope theres a cities skylines 2 soon and they can take the best parts of what they have learned from 1, and bits from this game etc. etc. etc. and make an incredible sequal.
