SimCity a disaster for you? Take a look at Cities: Skylines (not related to CitiesXL)

Super looking forward to this release. I reinstalled SC4 but it doesn't hold up great for me. I'd rather play SC2k at this point.
 
I have been watching streams throughout the day and this game looks amazing. Wish I could play it but I don't have a gaming pc. Cannot wait to see the cities that people will make out of this.

unless you have a chromebook, you should be able to run it. Looks like my 2011 macbook pro will be able to run it, and thats a laptop!
 
Really tempted to pre-order as game looks great, but my old as dirt pc is slightly above minimum graphics card(?) and just at minimum for ram. :/

Maybe after tax refund I will build a new pc.
 
Not much of a PC gamer, will my Macbook Pro be able to run this?

2 GHz Intel Core i7 (Turbo Boost up to 3.4GHz)
8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB

Don't get me wrong. There should be some negative consequence to noise pollution. But getting people sick and leading to the zombie plague?

I think it was a lot of things all snowballing into one big problem. I'd blame most of it on his road layout.
 
I have high hopes for this game. High being as long as you can build cities like we want from back in the SimCity 2000 days, updated graphics. My hopes are high for the Sim genre, but low for overall since we have so many disappointments (Railroad Tycoon update, the last SimCity)

Edit - Is this steam only?
 
I need to force myself to quit watching streams and footage so I can enjoy the game on my own.

Half the fun in games is figuring things out for myself, don't like looking up guides for games such as Don't Starve or Banished.
 
Hopefully my 4 year old GTX 450/i3 processor/6 gigs of ram computer can handle this at low settings

Or maybe I can run it at my school's computer labs, they have decent specs and let you download stuff
 
Watched some of of Quill's stream again earlier (the one with TotalyMoo) and maybe it's again his not so traffic management but it looked like there was too much traffic for a city the size of 25,000-28,000 that was at in the video I watched.

As for the plague, if it was ignored for so long there's really no wonder it wrecked havoc like it did, it's not like there's no precedent for such a thing happening.

I hope there's more actual parking spaces than shown there, it looks like there's a lot of wasted space.
 
Someone posted on Reddit that Quill reloaded his save, fixed the water pollution problem, and increased healthcare, which prevented the mass die-off.
 
Wow I was just watching King Kongor's stream and he put in a dam... The river ended up going all the way over the dam and flooding the whole zone haha. He took it out and it just created crazy tidal waves higher than the nearby bridges.

The whisper of a new zombie apocalypse started to surface again right before he stopped for the night. We'll see how it turns out tomorrow. I liked Etalyx's town a lot more. Wasn't just brute-forcing population gains.

Also, this KingKongor fellow is losing whole bridges to flooding at the moment.
 
Is it just me or are all of the early access people playing the literal hell out of this game? I can't keep up with the videos they are making, there's like a collective several hundred hours of gameplay to watch online already. And everyone seems to be enjoying themselves immensely too.

It's really, really easy to get pulled in to this game. Like I mentioned earlier, I streamed for 3 hours straight and I hadn't even realized it. I streamed for another hour tonight with the unlimited money and all buildings unlocked mods and it went by before I knew it.

It's got that "one more turn" thing going, but instead of turns, it's little tasks which you set for yourself.
 
Smh if only steam had automatic downloads...i want to come home to this game already on my harddrive :(. The hype is too real after the streams I've seen...
 
Bought.

Good thing it'll be Wednesday when it releases here. Hype is watery given I'll be balancing this with MH4U but it's there nonetheless.

No it was (when Quill18 encountered it) a wave of sickness that wiped out most of his population and bankrupted his city. A plague.

You can see it happen here around the 6:53:00 mark. You can see his population vanishing. Within 15 minutes his city is essentially dead.
 
It seems that Kingor is countering the death apocalypse by just spamming crematoriums well beyond anything normal. It makes up for his poor road planning.

One section of the city looks like it might be the first domino though.

Nope, basically just a complete collapse of the healthcare and deathcare system.

What happened in quill's stream:
- Water source got polluted
- Tons of people started getting sick
- Ambulances unable to get them to hospitals in time
- Tons of people started dying
- Cemeteries and crematoriums unable to transport them in time
- Everyone abandons the city because there are dead bodies everywhere
- Tax income dries up, city goes bankrupt

Zombie apocalypse!

How much of the population drop was due to actual deaths versus just people moving out?

I think its happening again to Kongor. The abandoned buildings and deaths are piling up, and demand is zero. It seems this time its primarily from trash.

He's just spamming crematoriums though which seems like its holding it off for now at least.

But it won't solve the trash -> abandoned issue though, and the trash will continue to sicken the population. At some point it should become exponential, even with the crematorium spamming. He can't also spam trash collection. It would obliterate land value too much (not to mention the monthly cost).
 
I wonder if it's a problem with the road system or if healthcare and pollution have too low thresholds before everything goes to shit.
 
Does this game have savegames? Or is it garbage like sim city 2013 where you can't just reload an old savegame.

My favorite thing about older sim city games was either messing with things to see what would happen (and then resetting to my normal state save) and just generally having a backup for if I made some big changes to a city I otherwise liked that didn't pan out (and learn from it and try something different)


I'd be pretty sad if I spent 20 hours on a city only to have it all erased by some cascade effect
I don't have much interest in a city roguelike that discourages experimentation
