I have now lost the fourth city with populations of 50,000 to 190,000 inexplicably. Simply disappeared (may not be charged at the time) or erased by its own stupidity ("reset or rely on an earlier Score?", Of course pressed on leave) or jumping in a neighboring town not zurückgekonnt in the Old. This really is even more frustrating than never to be able to play. And that's also the reason why I am writing a review instead of playing Sim City on a rainy Sunday morning.
Before I go into detail, but I want to also say that I'm really makes SimCity fun. The feeling is really outstanding in cities under 50,000. The Wuselfeeling arises quickly, the joy of the first office tower immense. The expandability of the individual buildings and the absolute will to own or competent to operate a nuclear power plant private professional stadium provide some late hour before the PC. Only I have unfortunately not yet succeeded.
Because in my opinion it is impossible on the available area for example to build an airport, a university, a football stadium and a nuclear power plant and still have a functioning city simultaneously. The aforementioned buildings already take away almost half the space. Not to mention needed buildings such as fire, police, hospital, city hall, etc. By now, half of the card is full.
The developers have reportedly implemented with the new form of SimCity their visions, anyway quatscht the Bradshaw from Maxis incessantly about it. A famous man once said: Whoever has visions should go to the doctor.
There, they were not, however, otherwise an unfinished game would be so not come on the market. The AI is dumb Strunz, the building can not be rotated and the crashes we want garnicht starting out.
An Example:
Since nourishes and cherishes it his industry, sees them grow and develop new technologies. One is already proud of his "biggest employer in the city", a huge fully developed high-tech building. One can almost speak of a traditional company in his city. And so, now you want it of course protect where you leveled the fire station, and equip a fire station with satellite alarm, chemical fire engines and ladder truck. Especially in times where a madman in the city fires shall not be a bad idea. However, you want to take any risks and sets again a fire prevention officer added, which can preemptively prevent carelessness and so stifle the danger in the bud. Voila!
Since the drawn a lot of structural changes in the city by yourself and you have taken a pretty pile of money in hands, one leans exhausted but satisfied and waits with a cup of coffee on the first fire alarm. They want to see in action his investment eventually. Prompt it caught of course, the aforementioned core and for a brief moment remains the worried mayor heart. But there already pitched on highly polished alarm bells of the fire superiority. The chemical fire engines back from. I won!
After three meters, however they stop. Rush hour! Nothing works anymore. The fire brigade is stuck in traffic. No lane is formed, no bypass is sought. That does not exist yet! After what felt like hours of helplessness in which the long-established company has with a loud bang that shook the map, adopted the advisor comes around the corner and told one that you look a full-blown industrial fire in the eye, you should do something. JAHA! I WILL! The fire department has finally arrived at the storage end and faces the difficult decision of diversion. Full speed ahead with marzipan or even a street with rush hour traffic. Of course, the rush hour traffic. Man collapses inwardly. Before the heroes arrive at the fire in red, hold good at every red light and may end the industrial fire with his boot emerge because nothing more is to erase since. At least we saved water. Hurrah!
The same concerns the garbage disposal, the bus, the police etc. Totally beside the AI. Removing the building aggravates the situation even more. When all buses + the Great ride from the bus station with the garbage truck and the recycling cars and and and together convoy, everything breaks around it together.
The industry is crying out for workers despite enough workers in the city, the police want more and more patrol cars although only crime is committed on the day and so on. Oh, and the advisor tells you that too slow a fire department.
All this and much more is still weggepatcht believed the statements of the developer or the publisher.
Conclusion:
If the patches really eliminate all errors, the card size should be adjusted to "SimCity 4 level"
then the fifth part could be a terrific, fantastic game. Honest!
But at the time, was now, it's a verbugtes, much too small and unplayable game in the Scores and simply disappear without a trace with him invested time! To save the single circumstance no longer Scores makes me believe that have never played their own game, the developers!
I create professional shops in new locations, we apply our openings previously targeted all over the place or the city. If we were to deliver such a sloppy performance in the opening week, we were within a short time away from the window.
So, I'm going out into the fresh air make some sports, although I really wanted to build a city the weekend. Thus, the whole still something good! Sigh.
Thank you for your attention.
Edith:
Yes, I'm back from the sport. Yes, my city is back. Oh miracle.
I have now for the following problem, my city has no water! No more groundwater where (not yet sooooo long) the waterworks is! Groundwater is gone !!!!! That you have to reinziehen times! It also no longer raining. Global warming from my SimCity village triggered. That makes me concerned.
On the Internet I read that you should build a sewage treatment plant next to the waterworks, for infinite water. Did not work for me infinitely. For whatever reason. Probably because you do not give the real life, the cesspool beside the water! For the traffic now working again.
My current problem is that I can raise taxes without me besiege the citizens from my villa. I have specially built the tax office at my town hall, so I can ask to checkout times the big shots right. However, the already start at 12% undress. Mind you at 3% above the social level! You can tell that the game comes from America, because the health insurance and pensions is likely not included.
Taxes so back, but the besiegers before my modest little mansion, one might almost say bachelor pad, just do not disappear. They stir things up even after hours loudly in my front yard around, so I prefer to impose a state of emergency in the village, and public safety in the form of Bruce Willis as General would be recovered by means of military force. That's not natural. So I'm building the water plant on a new groundwater source, it costs nothing!
The besiegers stänkern now due to low land. WTF?
In Enrst? My city is too cheap? But want to pay taxes? Your stupid *!% § "? Ä # # + R + S + $ C ** H §E = *!
That was as I said my last problem, because my city is probably gone for good this time. After I have been told, which is my city back to a previous state, nothing more has done. The card is naked this time, gone, vanished. 15 hours (or more) Time went flutes.
I hope Miss Bradshaw loses her job! And with it, the other morons as lead designer Pierre and Co!
Anything else would be no real compensation.
******* UPDATE FROM 8:06:13 ************************************** **************************************
The first finding which may be set in stone: SimDorf is not a simulation. SimDorf will never be a simulation. No matter what will be patched.
At this point I would also like to acknowledge again that has temporarily, certainly made this game in the early days of fun.
BUT:
As of today is:
- The transport system is still a disaster. I had finally a monster jam the extent resulted from the neighboring towns, which was to see the beginning or the end of the traffic jam garnichtmehr.
Garbage trucks, buses, taxis etc. are still not make sense to spread across the city in a position.
- The education system is still a joke. A complete rubbish. More not comes to mind.
- The card size impudence. Man crushed and pressed and pressed the last out of the city and still get only about 30% of all available buildings on the map. So it makes no fun! It is never fun.
It should be mentioned that I played good nine hours without even a crash. The one that mention must says it all.
Maybe I play it again if more tickets become available. Until then, farewell SimDorf!
