:O

pretty excited. I bought Cities XL 2012 to scratch the itch, and it is a good game.............. wonderfully complex, but just doesnt work the way you want it to. the overall management is kinda broken so it gets crazy difficult juggling everything even when you have unlimited money.

yeah ive been reading the responses on metacritic. the peoples are not happy. It has stopped me from buying it anyway. I'm sure someone has figured out how to priate the game anyway. and hopefully someone will make a mod to stop the need for online connection and online saving (the dumbest thing ive ever heard for a non-MMORPG)

i digged a bit deeper and the whingy kind of players (theres always a select few with every game, and always a platoon with AAA titles) have come up with some good points:

Firstly, the traffic jam chaos, lack of business for certain jobs/shops and buses/schools issues.

Apparently the other sim cities didnt have this issue. and that an easy fix would have been to reserve houses/jobs for people as they leave the house. to prevent people just following them and going to a full house/job.

Secondly, some people are claiming the population of your game (not in sandbox) is limited to 300k. At 280k or so, everyone runs into a disaster. Lizard, zombie apocalypse, meteor shower etc. When you rebuild and recover, happens again. rinse repeat. a bit disappointing.

Got a mate with a city of 320k still going. I call BS on that disaster.

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
