Methinks you're overestimating the market for SimCity type games.

And no, I don't plan on buying this, even if I loved Sim City since Classic first came out in 1991.

Sounds better than what I had imagined. I thought it will instantly kick you out the minute the connection dies. I know disconnections can happen because although I got Unifi because sometimes when I play Hitman Absolution or X-Com the connection to Steam dies. Fortunately can still continue playing. FYI my pc is connected to my router by wifi, hence the possibility of disconnections.

I am curious to see if the connection dies if can save my city or not. I know in the Beta it might not be possible though.

I think I am of the older generation of pc gamers where those days it was a simple as putting in the disk, install and play. Old habits die hard

Anyway have my Lego collection to keep me busy nowadays, so PC gaming is not my primary form of entertainment like when I was in school or uni.

when is the game going to be launched??

According to EA it was March 5th.

Closed BETA session is over.

available for mac?

You tried the beta? How would you recommend the game? Glad to know we available to play when server is offline

Yes available for Mac. Just scroll down to the system requirement and you'll see it's for Mac as well.

Yes. It depends on your preference. Have you played SimCity before?
For me it's something different compared to the other SimCity.
Easier to build and you could stack and upgrade buildings without needed to bulldozed it and upgrade like previous Sims.
If you have played other simulation games, it's a must buy.
If you are in doubt, wait and see what the others have to say about it.
I've played the beta and liked it, but there is a lot of limitation so can't really evaluate how good it is once the product reach the shelves.

Base on the Beta the game requires internet to start, but if for some reason your connection is down you could still be able to play it. But not quite sure if the game will be saved or not though.

Why this game so not popular here
I have a feeling I'm going to play this game alone again
Or worst I end up playing with strangers

lets play together later, i dunno which version i want to buy,
i use Yes 4g, just need login origin only right?

Because online. And Origins.

True.. you know what I cannot even activate my Crysis game, support ask me try install into C Drive, chk firewall & shits, I gave up trying, SImCity if we buy SGD is cheaper right

If you get Deluxe Edition, you can build your custom French/German/British city.

Yes cheaper to pre-order from SG.
USD is $80 (RM245), and SGD is $82(RM204) without discount.

Guys, I just preordered mine! Hurry and grab yours too

I am interested but I have to wait for reviews 1st. Or at least a demo

And i am worried that EA would leave content out so that they can sell expansion packs.

Are those city packs worth getting at all? Torn D:
