    Our next objective is creating a region with 4 arcos. Once the leaderboards open we'll see what competition lies there.

    The Walking Dead

    The last episode was great, finally got around to watching it. Hopefully they can just end this woodbury garbage and get on with survival.

    Yeah I completely agree with you. I almost didn't buy the game because of the city size, but I'm glad I did because simtown is still fun and there's a lot of novel concepts in it. Once the figure a way to unfuck the traffic (Ex: Multiple freeway entrances) I think a good city size would be 4x...

    Yeah it's fine but still buggy. If you want a smooth experience I'd wait until next week, but it's completely playable now. I actually haven't heard of someone being unable to connect yet today, and it's primetime.

    Nah, I've seen sims take longer paths before. This is probably the game glitching.

    North Korea goes full retard

    Sure we can. But at what monetary cost for the ordinance and what civilian cost to both NK and SK? And what is our certainty that they won't start launching off nukes as a last resort? And what will we do afterward with either a now hostile government or a population without a functional...

    North Korea goes full retard

    I'm no expert but I don't think this is correct. A few months ago I read an article describing why the US can't simply neutralize their artillery positions, but it largely has to do with: 1. That we don't have them all mapped out. 2. That Seoul is so close to the border it's hard to neutralize...

    http://www.pcgamer.com/review/simcity-review/4/ PCGamer's review demonstrates a single road city. I started to try that last night but gave up when my region broke and didn't want my first city on chicagoland to be an experiment.

    Optimal builds are elusive when half the game doesn't work, but I was very impressed with the coverage given by the large $$ nature parks that you can unlock regionally. Placing one will literally improve happiness across half the map, around 3 times the circumference indicated by the green...

    Yeah the resource sharing is hit and miss. For now I wouldn't send large sums of money around or make power-plant cities. When it works it also takes a long time to synchronize.

    There's no noticeable lag. Basically the communication between the client and the server seems to happen in the background and the game state updates with server info periodically. All the ingame user actions and their results are client side. I think it's entirely possible to unplug your...

    best way to get hooked up with us is to join irc. Right now everything is very disorganized so it's hard to get everyone on a region. We're all just happy anytime we can actually play,l ol.

    Having your bank cancel a payment to origin is not 'asking for a refund' and I'm not surprised that origin's policy is to ban people who do that because I bet most people who do that are trying to defraud the seller.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    See I think that's the root of our disagreement. She nails everything about the role except being a convincing master fighter. She really is spectacularly able in arms, but she's just so gaunt that it doesn't work for me. And I bet there's more to Conan Stevens leaving GoT than playing a...

    Good news: Simcity is a great buy flawed city building sim. We'll see if Maxis/EA will remove some of those flaws. The server shit is just a matter of time and by next week it'll probably be fine. The real question is whether the traffic and other more challenging problems will be resolved.

    SimCity

    Yeah, there's been about 10 professional reviews on metacritic since right as the game came out. It's a weird situation. Online only games have typically been MMOs and it makes sense to put off giving your score for weeks because of the amount of content. That naturally gives some buffer for...

    Seems pretty trivial to just have hard-coded rates at which you buy/sell resources like every other game ever. I have to imagine the market fluctuations won't be that sharp even if it settles at 50% away from a guessed hardcoded value.

    650k is huge. A typical successful city made by someone will likely get around 200k. The theoritical max is probably around 1mill. The things that limit it are: 1. how much residential zones you can have (vs roads, commercial, industrial, services, misc buildings and empty/unusable land) 2...
