BUMP!
I know I'm late, but I was a victim of a lazy summer afternoon, when boredom struck and I found myself wanting to play the latest version of SimCity. I was a fan of previous versions of this game so I didn't even read any reviews to help me decide if it would be worth forking over $30. Instead I trusted EA implicitly to release a great product.
Initially I liked the new features and since Ive been craving a SimCity that had a true multi player mode I was very excited about the game despite the small city size. I've played through several cities trying out different specializations up to this point. Now that the initial excitement is gone and I'm becoming annoyed with being limited to a small tile sized grid square, I'm truly disappointed that there won't be a release of larger city sizes, or even city zones that are directly next to one another as in SimCity 4. Also the interaction between neighboring cities seems rather limited and buggy. It doesn't feel like a multi player game at all.
I would gladly pay for the option to play regions that have bigger city boundaries. Or better yet, be able to add additional space next to my existing cities. I don't really care if someone running an out of date computer can't load my city, they can admire it from a distance. PC Games should push boundaries. It feels to me like the size and scope of this release is something closer to an app game rather than a traditional boundary pushing PC game.
Please, SimCity 6 soon.
