Any simcity fans?

Anyone here play any of the simcity games? Such as simcity 3 or 4? I've been a huge fan of the franchise since simcity 3 and the best game out of em is 4.

 

I used to play Sim City Classic many years ago, if that counts

 

Sim City 4 w/ Rush Hour Expansion Pack is my favorite game. Along with Simtropolis content.

 

I used to play Simcity 2000 all the time

Haven't tried simcity 4

 

Simcity 4 is still the best city simulator around.

It is going to be like that for a long time I am afraid. The reason EA hasn't come out with another simulator is because of the steep learning curve. They need to take a chance.

 

i loved simcity 3000 unlimited! i think that one and 4 are the best!

 

Sim City 4 R.hour + thousends mods is my favourite ALL TIMES.

 

Tired out after 4 years, but yeah it's one heck of a game (Simcity 4). Simcity Societies was just a disaster.

 

I loved the old one i think sim city 2000? I never played 3000, but 4 is awesome, is that the one where you can drive around in the city?

 

I liked Sim City 2000, Sim Tower, and Sim Ant.... Sim Ant ROCKED!!!

 

Yeah simcity is amazing, i played classic, 2000, 3000 and 4, all good games!

 

I've played them all .. Spent so many hour on Sincity 2000 when it came out .. i would come back from scho0l play until 3-4 in the morning had 1 or 2 hours of sleep then school again ... it was so addictive .. i still play simcity 4 wich i think is the best one with SC2K ..

 

anyone tried Cities XL?

 

Yeah, it sucked

 

SC4 was/is best. I played it for quite some time but got bored of it.

 

I have seen it, looks alright. I hope its better then simcity societies. Ugh that game...

And woot to all the simcity 4 fans When it came out I'd stay up till like 4 am sometimes a night just messing around with god mode.

 

*raises hand* Big fan here...and fan of The Sims too...especially the 3

 

Can Sim City 4 be played well on an Intel 4500 gpu?

 

I went:

SimCity 2000 -> SimCity 3000 Unlimited -> SimCity 4 Deluxe Edition

 

Are there any plans for a new one to come out?

Ive never played so I might purchase sim city 4 its quite cheap

 

Never played Simcity 4, how is it?

 

I must say, out of all them, I preferred Sim City 3000 the most. Sim City 4 is much better in terms of options and actually running a city but I never got into it, especially because of the steep learning curve.

 

Its great as long as you get the "deluxe one" which is simcity 4 and its expansion pack, it really needs the expansion pack. Also maybe the network addon mod as well, unfortunately in simcity 4 mass transit works a pretty stupid way (sims take the shortest route over the quickest route by default, leading to long commute times/abandonment) and the network addon mod fixes this.

Apart from needing the expansion and daft sim mass transit AI the games really great! Theres lots of options, tons of buildings and the graphics are pretty good for a 6 year old game, they will be even better now as the settings can be cranked up to high easily on todays hardware.

 

Hmmm Ill have to give it a try in that case...

 

I love SC4. Cities XL looked like a promising replacement, but it turned out to be junk (rather than growing organically, you zone your cities' income areas etc).

Incredible how long SC4 has been chugging along... I remember playing it in 2003 during my freshman year in college. It's 7 years old now.

 

Simcity 4 plays on a friggin single core Athlon. So yeah.

 

I also loved those missions where you drive around in the city and have to do certain objectives, it gave me a personal sense of how well/poorly I designed my roads. Whereas before it was like, ahh my sims are complaining about the roads, who cares, but now it's like, wow, my roads DO suck.
