game looks damn ugly wth
is there any hidden setting that i'm missing? the aa is pretty much absent
There IS an AA option in the game settings, but whatever it is using doesn't seem to be too effective.
(Things were like buttery smooth when it came to edges in the 2013 SimCity, too. Medium lighting or higher and additional AA = smoothness heaven.)
(The game also really doesn't have a visual charm that SimCity does have.)

I think everyone should take a look at this:

I'm trying to get the courthouse unlock, but for the life of my, I can't get my crime rate higher than 24%. I have zero police, and my citizens have no schooling and are dumb as bricks. What else can I do? lol...
The 50% unemployment unlock was pretty easy though, I just dezoned all my industry for 5 minutes lol.

Still early on, but I really like the game so far. Only got little over 1 hour into it so far. Hopefully I get some more time tomorrow.
It takes a while to get used to the build system after being used to SC after all these years. But it feels really natural.
This will get some millage from me.

Nice. Gonna try that later

The aesthetic/charm thing has been mentioned before in previews and streams. Skylines has always seemed better than the XL games but more clinical than the SC ones.
Also, you may not have intended it but most of your recent posts make it sound like you'd rather play SC2013 given how much you refer to how much better it is while not saying as much positive stuff about Skylines. Maybe the game's just not for you.
Hm, it's a dual core i5-4210U if that helps.
But just looked it up on http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri and it seems like it's a clear no.
Looks good, may try that out for sure.
Great game, finally I can lay SC 4 to rest, love how you can take it slowly for you city to grow. SC 4 was quite aggressive at making you expand quickly. Traffic system is superb, I can just sit and follow commuters sometimes. If anyone can help, how do you change the colour of the bus routes?
You can poison your citizens with their own sewage.

can someone please say something to convince me to buy this game? Like I knew nothing about it prior to watching it on stream earlier today and I am very interested. Is there a demo that I can try the game out somewhere?
Also I may be sacrificing my bloodborne money but that is to be determined.

Have you ever played a city sim before?
Each zone has a set of upgrades, I think they increase whatever they do to be better, as long as you can increase the land value around them. The sound is a little unnecessary as you can always query but you'll miss it otherwise.

Supposedly abandoned buildings lead to more crime. I have seen in other streams that crime modeling might need a bit of tweaking.

I wish there was some way to just try the game to see how well it preforms on your machine. 'Recommended' doesn't really mean much, I've played games with my computer being well under the recommended specs but I could still run them at ~30 fps on medium/high settings with some strategic tweaking.

Thanks for the link. This caught my eye:
I think a lot of people are going to have to unlearn older Simcity habits.

that is hilarious
I have but it has been a while. It was fun but I just never got back into it because other games and my backlog kept me too distracted

In the terrain editor, is there a way to regreen sand zones?
I dont seem to find the button that does it, but if it doesnt exist it would be a pity becuase the game automatically truns everything to sand when is beneath surface, so if you want to elvate it it seems it doesnt revert back to green. I know theres a button to paint sand zones though.
EDIT
Ok it regreen automatically. I would have prefered that you could control it though.

Sorry Chezzyman, you're probably going to just have to wait a bit longer for someone else with similar specs to take the plunge and let you know how it runs. Reports seem to indicate that it's pretty optimized, but still taxes low end machines (especially ones with integrated graphics).
It'd be cool if there were a demo, but with such a small team, they're probably all focusing on after-release support and future patches/DLC.

Hopefully someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong. Early on in all of my games thus far, all of my citizens become sick - as in, more than 50% of the population needs healthcare, and it happens very rapidly.
The industry zones are far away and are not even visibly near the residential areas. Additionally, the pollution maps shows zero pollution in the area. Not quite sure what the problem is...

So did SimCity 4 originally. Give the mods time.
At least this game allows for extensive modding.

Make sure your water pumps are not in an area that has pollution in it. People get sick if you make them drink polluted water.

Keep your new population close together for the clinic also polluted water needs to stream away from the fresh water pumping in if you have put the shit pump first then the fresh pump second that is wrong you know there dying by my guess.
Yup first thing i thought off i always put the shit pump far far away from the fresh water pump.
I'm just using a water tower for my water thus far, haven't had the need for anything more than that yet.

Yeah no luck, also tried removing the DLC and other random things like that.
Basically it crashes when loading a map, but I noticed if I had it in Window mode it gets to the end then just sits there instead of completely crashing.
Might not also help I'm using Windows 10. But yeah. Has anyone with a Surface Pro 2 got it working?

Finally got it to play nice with my system and where has my night gone? I'm terrible at laying out a town/city apparently. I mean so far so good, no major hiccups, traffic was ok until I put a bus shelter in now there are buses everywhere. But yeah no major traffic or health problems, but I can't seem to build areas well with room for expansion. I'll need to start thinking more before laying down roads.
I didn't think pedestrians impacted on traffic? Looking at the streams, I thought cars drive through pedestrians at crossings?
Unless you mean with footpaths, people will choose to walk to work rather than drive?

The Statue of Shopping says my city money needs to be -1 for it to unlock? Am I reading that right? I have to be -1 credit in debt?

It's a visualization of ground pollution. It was supposedly changed to grey in the latest patch, but maybe changed back to purple at the last minute? Or maybe we don't have the latest patch?
Smh I'm sucking hard at this game. Everytime I try to make progress, more crap happens. I keep playing the game like Simcity but I see thats not going to be the case. Also, I'm trying to get used to the pipes/electrical lines which was a pain in the ass in Simcity 4.
Other than that...10/10...will suffer more...
