[QUOTE=Zambies!;39934177]I used to love Maxis. Then societies. Then this shit. It's hilarious to watch it burn.[/QUOTE] Societies wasn't even made by Maxis.
[QUOTE=Zambies!;39934578]Okay, SA gave me some clearance on what happened: The game shovels workers from residents into the closest work place. Being that he built the NPP in a poor area to prevent property price damage in the rich areas, it moved the blue collar workers in that area to the NPP, causing it to be run poorly and have a nuclear melt down.

So you get horrid commute times, and police/fire/EMS can't maneuver through streets and are treated like civilian traffic, causing a fire in a borough to burn down an entire section of the city. This game has more errors than I thought.[/QUOTE] No...no...can't be real....that sounds like the kind of crap someone would make up to [I]spoof[/I] something like this. Are you sure that you don't live in a webcomic?

It picks the shortest route, regardless of congestion. Note how when he puts the dirt road in some of the vehicles do a U-turn to backtrack a square or two and take the already massively congested dirt road.

Oh god, I'm never opening up SH in multiple tabs again.
[QUOTE=TurbisV2;39933999]Welp. When will we get good news from SimCity?[/QUOTE] SimCity taken off the market forever or fixed completely.
[QUOTE=CoalTen;39934013][B]THIS DOES NOT DESTROY THE CITY[/B] I haven't read this article completely yet, but if it's the same mod that I think it is, the city does not get destroyed. You can do whatever you want to the city, but the changes are not saved to the servers unless you are the city creator.[/QUOTE] Good, but this could be fun for a "natural disaster" type thing if both people wanted it.
[QUOTE=enricociccio;39933936]i hope this leads to the fall of always on drm[/QUOTE] no, this will just lead to the failure of modding in an always-online environment. which means my only reason to buy SimCity is gone.
Always online DRM, but no PunkBuster or VAC-like system. My face went up against both palms.
And here is an explanation from the guy who did it explaning how he did it and other things [url]http://pastie.org/6505519[/url] [quote] [u][b]Editing Other Player's Regions/Cities:[/b][/u] Not as dangerous/harmful as it sounds. I enabled all UI features for build mode, editing etc. while in "Observer mode", and tricked the client into thinking I wasn't really in observer mode while visiting other player's cities (even in a region that has nothing to do with me). I did not try to "spoof" the owner ID's when doing this , so while I *CAN* "Take over" any city I like and run the simulation as if it was my own, place buildings, change taxes, play for hours, or destroy it - It *WON'T* be synced to the server at all, so no permanent changes are ever made to another player's cities. It's good fun though, and you can make entertaining videos with it. Spoofing owner ID's may be a dangerous possibility to save the edits to server - but EA servers may have checks to prevent this already.[/quote]
i am playing sim city 4 and having a cool + sexy time, alone, in my room
Simcity 4 is still king. And with all the great mods I personally think it looks much better. Can't live without those freeway mods and modular airport/ seaport, and proper sized (massive) nuclear powerplant that takes up more room than my house.
[QUOTE=SigmaLambda;39935052]i am playing sim city 4 and having a cool + sexy time, alone, in my room[/QUOTE] Playing Tropico 4 right now. Aside from that: It's funny to see how a plan turns against itself.
[QUOTE=KILLTHIS;39935107]Playing Tropico 4 right now. Aside from that: It's funny to see how a plan turns against itself.[/QUOTE] I'll go play SimCity for DOS, or Micropolis.
honestly I was expecting the game to descend into a wasteland of upriver cities polluting down and nuclear waste flying everywhere, glad to see someone came up with a better way to troll
[QUOTE=ijyt;39934155]There really is a gif for everything.[/QUOTE] HIMYM alone is a gold mine.
[QUOTE=Durrsly;39935173]I'll go play SimCity for DOS, or Micropolis.[/QUOTE] I have SimCity on floppy :dance:
[QUOTE=Zambies!;39934177]I used to love Maxis. Then societies. Then this shit. It's hilarious to watch it burn.[/QUOTE] Societies actually doesnt have anything to do with Maxis. It was made by Tilted Mill. Actually, I believe it got more shit than it should have due to the way it was shoehorned into the SimCity franchise. If you don't think of it as a SimCity game, it's quite fun, and a nice experiment especially with the society part.

Basically most of the first page didn't read the article, it mentions it does not sync.
[QUOTE=laserguided;39966886]Basically most of the first page didn't read the article, it mentions it does not sync.[/QUOTE] it also implies it can sync if a user is so inclined.
[QUOTE=yawmwen;39966928]it also implies it can sync if a user is so inclined.[/QUOTE] Then the writer is dumb as hell because the guy himself said it can't.
[QUOTE=laserguided;39966940]Then the writer is dumb as hell because the guy himself said it can't.[/QUOTE] Where did he say that? I saw the comment that he might be able to, but doesn't want to actually be able to destroy anyone else's city.
[QUOTE=laserguided;39966940]Then the writer is dumb as hell because the guy himself said it can't.[/QUOTE] the article says he "turned syncing off", which implies that it can be turned on. where does the modder say it isn't possible to sync?
[QUOTE=yawmwen;39966984]the article says he "turned syncing off", which implies that it can be turned on. where does the modder say it isn't possible to sync?[/QUOTE] AzzerUK broke the news of this quite a few days ago explained everything at once on r/Simcity, the original place he posted it. At the same time as the ability to build regional freeway's outside of the city.
[QUOTE=Zambies!;39934513]what the fuck my friends city just glitched and shoveled all the unskilled workers into the nuclear power plant and skilled into blue collar and it just melted down. why.[/QUOTE] Fucking Homer Simpson, that's why.

[QUOTE=GlebGuy;39933945]With all these blunders from EA, it really looks like they're not going to make it.[/QUOTE]When a game like this flops THIS badly, and still manages to sell 1.1 million copies, I'd really stop worrying on whether or not EA is going to make it, start worrying about gaming in general. I think its disgusting that this royal fuck up is actually making money.
If EA's 'vision' of this game was to make the worst game ever made, they're well on their way to it.
