All reviews complaining about how tiny the map is and always online annoyances.

3/5/2013 12:47:28 AM

yeah the map is small. I played beta 2 and 3 but it makes it more challenging?

still nothing - headed to bed

3/5/2013 12:56:32 AM

I had the deluxe edition, maybe they processed those first

3/5/2013 12:58:47 AM

Have you guys ever tried to play a game at launch? It is literally never available at midnight.

so dumb. if i wanted to see my sims drive to work, i'd play the sims.

I read somewhere that EA hasn't ruled out larger maps may be coming. hmm I wonder if they will charge for those?

[Edited on March 5, 2013 at 10:07 AM. Reason : yes, yes they will]

3/5/2013 10:06:52 AM

I think they'll get the simulation portion down now, then expand city size and fix any other frustrations in a later release, future iteration. Scaling up and charging more if you will.

Anyway. Who wants in for a tww Sim city region? Jazon and I already said we'd give it a shot.

I'll pm out my origin name to whomever

3/5/2013 10:08:03 AM

^^i also wonder if that's why the cities have so much room between them. To allow patching of existing cities. Add the ability to annex land in the region as you grow. Which, is pretty much how it works.

I'd join up. Origin name is DaleCooper91

3/5/2013 10:20:47 AM

You guys aren't think about this right.

Obviously they're waiting on SimCity Cacun expansion, where all you do is build hotels at the beach

I'm waiting on Sim City trailer park add on. It provides tornado targets in the unannexed areas.

3/5/2013 10:24:17 AM

I'll join a region, still need to sign up for Origin.

3/5/2013 10:26:14 AM

I'll look at setting one up when I get home from work

3/5/2013 10:27:22 AM

Yep, I'm down for a TWW region

Just let me know

I'll prob play all night tonight like a complete loser

3/5/2013 1:49:30 PM

I picked up the game as well and would be interested in joining a region.

Origin Name - TextileWolf

3/5/2013 1:52:16 PM

^wouldn't work when I searched for you

I'd like to join a region. I pretty much maxed out the city I started last night. Got up to about 170k people but by then there was no room left for basic services. you pretty much have to play multiplayer to get a super high population city.

Origin name is etjohnso. I'll be on for a while today/night as much as I can til the gf starts bitchin

I never play computer games, but this tickles my fancy.

Can my laptop handle it?

Core 2 Duo P8400 / 2.26 GHz ( Dual-Core )
Memory4.0 GB
Operating SystemMicrosoft Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit Edition
Max Resolution1920 x 1200 ( WUXGA )
Graphics ProcessorNVIDIA GeForce 9800M GTS

3/5/2013 4:43:06 PM

Yeah you should be fine. Will probably have to turn down a few settings but I believe that's above the min. requirements.

3/5/2013 4:47:20 PM

Cool, I'll pick it up on the way home.

3/5/2013 4:48:15 PM

it'll run on that machine

worst case you'll have to turn the graphics down from awesome to pretty good

3/5/2013 4:49:03 PM

Bout time to upgrade anyway, this hog is getting close to its 5th birthday.

3/5/2013 4:54:09 PM

I have an alienware m13x (I think) netbook and it's below the recommended specs (has a 1.something gig processor when it recommends 2) and it runs for me, albeit on low.

3/5/2013 4:59:19 PM

Should I buy this shit? Is it not shit?

3/5/2013 5:01:27 PM

Created a region. name is "TWW" and its' in vatican woods or whatever it's called. hit me up and I'll add you - I should be on most of tonight. room for 15 more

[Edited on March 5, 2013 at 5:16 PM. Reason : .]

3/5/2013 5:03:58 PM

you can have 16 people in a region? i figured it was only 3 cities plus the "Great Works" area

3/5/2013 5:21:56 PM

depends on the region

I'll try to move in in the next hour or so

[Edited on March 5, 2013 at 5:27 PM. Reason : ]

3/5/2013 5:27:16 PM

go ahead and add me. im still downloading

3/5/2013 5:39:59 PM

what server is the TWW region on?

3/5/2013 5:45:38 PM

Is there not a way for searching a region? I couldn't seem to find TWW one.

ncsuallday - I added you and you appear to be a friend in Origin. However, when I go to the game....you do not appear. Because we are on a different server?

3/5/2013 5:53:51 PM

what server is everyone on

3/5/2013 6:00:07 PM

Nvm

[Edited on March 5, 2013 at 6:03 PM. Reason : .]

3/5/2013 6:02:42 PM

Well, I have no idea what to do to find you guys

3/5/2013 6:06:20 PM

Join server NA East 2... I'm making a region there.

3/5/2013 6:12:45 PM

My first game just started going to shit. I was buying all of my utilities from other cities and I finally grew to a big enough size where that was no longer feasible. It's all falling apart here.

3/5/2013 6:15:02 PM

I'm trying to get on NA east 2

region named tww?

going to get food and will be back on in a bit

3/5/2013 6:56:16 PM

yes named tww. but its private. how the fuck do i invite people

3/5/2013 7:01:48 PM

not being able to search the regions is crazy.

[Edited on March 5, 2013 at 7:31 PM. Reason : puck_it...what's your origin username?]

3/5/2013 7:29:58 PM

Figured out invites...

Sent you a pm, what's yours?

3/5/2013 7:40:43 PM

every time i go to check my damn invites it says the servers are down

3/5/2013 7:52:05 PM

How big is the download through Origin? I only get 20 gigs of data with my internet and don't want to spend it all in one place

3/5/2013 7:54:29 PM

Something is up. I am having trouble even authenticating the server to even launch the game.

3/5/2013 7:55:15 PM

^^ it's nowhere near as big as the installer/downloader claims

[Edited on March 5, 2013 at 7:55 PM. Reason : ]

3/5/2013 7:55:36 PM

yea, can't connect at all now

fantastic

3/5/2013 8:21:33 PM

i just got booted mid game. hope my shit has saved lol.

3/5/2013 8:23:11 PM

me too

3/5/2013 8:25:25 PM

it's a good thing they require an internet connection to play.

3/5/2013 8:29:12 PM

lol yeah

they seemingly dont require an internet connection for themselves
