Yeah, it's honestly not as much fun once you know what you have to do to make the city what you want it to be. Constantly feels like I'm going through the motions to make more money instead of making an awesome and expanding city...it's pretty boring.

Yup. I've been trying to work up the motivation to play Sim City all day. But I couldn't bring myself to start another city; I already know exactly how it is going to go. LIterally one of the worst buys I've ever made, and I went into it as a complete optimist, and refused to allow my opinions to be influenced by the launch, EA, etc.

It is just a bad game. Plain and simple. Not fun, not interesting, not an improvement. I'm downloading SimCity 4 as we speak.

I got dead space 3.

sim city is too easy. like i said, i can make 10M/day without taxing anyone and providing all city services. that's with importing materials (plastic and alloy)

map size
pathing
tuning of specializations

those are bigger issues than the ones you're complaining about exploited, which is server issues. server issues... meh. it's not something broken to the core, it's a matter of having enough of servers. the other stuff though...

simcity 4 is great though (at least once they had rush hour expo). you can get some cool addons that can make interesting road choices

Meh, I can deal with those issues until they are fixed... I am not willing to deal with losing all my work for seemingly no reason. Whatever fun I was having was destroyed by that rollback, and I'm not interested in starting again right now, because I'm too frustrated.

To me, none of the issues are a big deal taken one by one... but taken altogether, they are gamebreakers.

Bioshock Infinite.

Apparently it's good.

Ya, I've been looking forward to that one for a long time.

5 out of 5 by Jeff Gerstmann over at Giantbomb. IGN gave it a 9.4 5 out of 5 at Joystiq. Eurogamer? 10 out of 10.

So I'll be getting it eventually.
