SimCity. + Anno, Tropico and other Omnishambles
  • Well, having bought Tropico via Kalypso I've now bought it again on Steam. £7.49 with all the DLC was just too good to turn down.

    Simcity needs some Tropico style edicts.

    I'm trying really hard to not go all "retards fucking door knobs" here.

    Anyway, could be handy

  • Our source explains:
    “The servers are not handling any of the computation done to simulate the city you are playing. They are still acting as servers, doing some amount of computation to route messages of various types between both players and cities. As well, they’re doing cloud storage of save games, interfacing with Origin, and all of that. But for the game itself? No, they’re not doing anything. I have no idea why they’re claiming otherwise. It’s possible that Bradshaw misunderstood or was misinformed, but otherwise I’m clueless.”

    Well we know it's just anti-piracy, don't we?
  • That is exactly both interesting and disappointing. If there's one sure way to piss me off it's to lie to me.
  • Did we pick a place to build a joint venture?

    I can't figure it out.  I have huge demand for housing, and the roads in place to develops high density buildings, but they are not getting built. Any idea what I am doing wrong/not doing?
  • So how long till EA come out with a statement about all this? Or will they keep ignoring it?
    I'm falling apart to songs about hips and hearts...

    I'm having some real problems with this now. Sent a million space bucks to make a Great Works three days ago and it's still "processing".

    The freight is pernickity as fuck. And I can't see how to raise school attendance at all. I've got capacity and hunners of kids not enrolled.

    I can't ease traffic congestion. I've got three (six) lane highways and cars stacked up in one lane.

    Servers down again.  I could get into the game but not join the map as "the server was unable to complete the action".  Nice one.

    Cant wait for this to be modded so you can play off line with the whole region available.

    I was wondering that too. I imagine the only way to do it is to buy it from other cities. Which means eventually everybody must run out.

    Oh, err, yeah. I suppose it does now and then.

    I could have sworn someone said you could make a desalination plant, but I haven't seen one. Or how to get one.

    Still no sign of my great work foundations. And I can't buy water from the new city I started specifically to generate water because it says they have no spare when I know they're up to their eyeballs.

    Seems everything region (server) based is a complete shambles.

    Gah.

    Yep, one city near me has a nuclear power plant and about 10 houses and yet it doesn't produce enough power for my 100,000 citizens.

    Picked up Anno 2070 on Steam. Might have a mess around with that until Simcity is patched up.
  • Jebus... that list is just... wow.
