The largest 9 tile standard city I've seen on a twitch stream was around 500k when they started hitting balance problems trying to get the city to grow more. Once you learn the basic mechanics of the game getting to 500k is probably just time but after that balancing things to get to 1 million...

I'd love to see choices be given more weight but I'm completely fine with the Bioware/telltale trick of thinking my choices matter when they actually have little/no effect on the overall story as long as its well done.

How is the story writing and voice acting(if any)? I'm trying to finish the main story-lines in Star Trek Online which is also done by Arc/Cryptic and the writing/voice acting is pretty bad. Curious if its a Star Trek thing or if Cryptic just isn't very good at storytelling.

This is also available on Xbone.

I think I went overboard with the one ways, they're good for heavy traffic areas but they can cause service coverage problems. I've removed a lot of one ways in lower traffic density areas.

Uplay points are are good for playing assassin's creed barbie but that's about it. In Rogue you can unlock a unique outfit and a couple weapons that are useful early on. And I'm not sure but I think the unlocked outfit lets me bypass the smoke/gas mask mechanic but I'll have to test it more to...

Yes, roads, powerlines, rail can all be height adjusted with pgup/pgdwn.

I'm playing Rogue right now on 360 and yea it looks like ACIII graphically but it's a lot of fun. Mechanically it feels like the best in the series(Even Better than Black Flag on Xbone/PC) but I haven't played Unity yet. And they improved the boat combat. I'd love to play it on next gen but if...

My current(first) city, going to keep playing it till I do something to kill it off.

I have a pile of incinerators in one spot that services my three tile map and it's all about easy highway access and keeping the highways moving. I've basically copied the alternating one way grid and frontage roads system I've seen in real life, but altered it a bit to account for the AI. If I...

Sounds like you have a lot of working lines and one incomplete. Should look like a small greyish-white box with a blue bar. You can delete it by right clicking on the line, or just right click until they're all deleted and redraw the lines. I've a metro connecting different parts of the city...

Got up to 70k before I stopped last night, have more traffic problems to iron out next time. Garbage collection is also gumming things up for me.

I've had to get rid of almost all stop signs except in dead end areas. All one ways near the highway and in industrial zones to keep things from backing up.

Person detail, can only change the name. Home/work aren't changeable it seems.

I watched quil18's city spiral into unrecoverable like that due to a little pollution near his water intake. After a certain point city services couldn't pick up bodies fast enough and the piles of dead bodies spread plague. Rip city.

Not really sure but I think so. Watched a hearse roll around on stream, and the driver hopped out to get the body and you could rename him before he got back in the car. You can rename any person and zone in your cities.

Paradox still releases occasional DLC for CKII which is 4 years old at this point so I don't see why they wouldn't do this if cities remains popular, also there is mod support for community addons.

True enough, I've seen enough on stream to believe I'll get my moneys worth outta this game. What I've seen that I like is: 1. No always online DRM.(FUEA) 2. City size(9x SimShitty) 3. Roads and hopefully 4. Stability in larger cities(FUCITIESXL). The largest cities I've seen are ~300k...

Game available at 1 p.m. CST tomorrow, no pre-load for early purchase. Release FAQ | All release questions go here

Roads, I've seen streamers spend a lot of time creating custom intersections and streamlining traffic flow. Pretty cool and much better than anything I remember CitiesXL offering. This one ended up not working all that well but you get the idea. and the revision

I was a little hopeful before but not anymore, shit's dead. No CS means they don't give a fuck about the service.

Watching a stream of this and it looks pretty good. If it reviews well after release I'll probably grab it after I clear out some of my gaming queue. Quill18 and Totalbiscuit are streaming this right now.

Been meaning to finish up the Sith Warrior story line and check out the 55-60 story on my op, that might convince me to sub for a month.

There's no place to hide from reality.

IF EA bought the franchise we'd at least see new EQ games.

That guy's pretty tame.

A lot of people loved Higby and thought he was the life blood of PS2 while others thought he was a reason for some poor decision making and that the game can be better with him gone. I haven't followed PS2 development enough to really give an informed opinion. I'd like to hope that that Columbus...

EQ2 wire did a little more grounded reaction piece than that mmorpg.com georgeson lovefest. EQ2Wire t Have To Be This Way

T-Ray left SOE late last year

I agree. If they removed the massive ability bloat in EQ2 I would probably revisit the game for new expansions(like I do with wow/swtor). The last time I figured out how to get my warlock raid ready(Chains of Eternity) I found that ~70% of the abilities were useless and it was a confusing mess...

I love that controller for PC gaming and I'm using it for my 360 again since the wireless battery on my other one crapped out.

1. Xbone. Because I own one and some of my xbox 360 friends are still around. 2. I've bought most of my Xbox one and Xbox 360 game recently from sales on the Xbox store. My 360 has been boxed up for about 2 years so I've grabbed a lot of games I missed at Gamestop for really cheap. Also...

Dumb popcorn games like the Borderlands series are pretty fun on console. I've played on both(console/PC) with different friends. Wish I'd seen this last week because I just picked up BL2 for 360 to play through with a friend.

The vibe I got from watching the trailer a couple times in the theater was "Gubmet bad, robot with the feels will save us all." Might watch it if it pops up on Netflix at some point.

That mullet requires a closer look.

Master of Orion was an awesome turn based 4x strategy.

If it has something like this, I might go to the theater to watch it.

From the director ofBeethoven's Big BreakandBlue Crush 2. This will be the movie I'm waiting all year to watch.

The problem I had was was in the difficulty ramp up after the first boss. Up until that point I was able stealth most of the enemies but this level puts you in combat right away no matter what. When I tried to sneak around to the closets on the right the NPC's always immediately found me and...

Finished this over the weekend and found it to be a lot of fun. Then gunplay was fun, story was better than I expected and the level design was fun because although it was linear you could usually use a few different paths to complete sections. I played through the story twice and I found the...
