Kotaku updates its earlier review to say no, you shouldn't play this game.

I feel bad for everyone whose first experience with SimCity is this abomination.

Oh Sweet Joy!
EA paints a pretty picture of future gaming with branded DLC for vested corporate entities such as... Crest toothpaste?

it doesn't come across the way you're describing it.
Just because one city is producing more trash than i can take, doesn't mean it'll get dumped on me. I can only take x amount from another city using my truck(s). If they produce more than their neighbors can handle, it's on them. it won't hurt me. I only get paid for taking another cities waste, so to me it's a benefit.

@albums
That's exactly why I was asking about the time differences. If one city is growing at a rate several times faster than its neighbor, those available resources you're using from the neighbor would be in flux, and this would be exaggerated with the time difference. It's not like everyone's on the same "real-time" clock, everyone's changing the time separately. Oh well, I give up...

to answer the above... it matters.
if your fire dept is gone when there's a fire in your city... ooops
if your city is taking waste from another city, your dump fills up quickand ground pollution fucking sucks

I can still pop in my snes SimCity any time and it works flawlessly... 20 years after release. There is very huge doubts they'll still be running servers for this game in 20 years when no one even buys it anymore and they no longer make money off it.
- mantrakid0
can honestly say I was on the fence but the more points and comments i read about the always online it just looks weaker and weaker - a glorified facebook game, where you dont really get what you need to get out of the game unless you're connecting with neighboring cities and sharing resources and shit. fuck that. huge props to the graphics dept, but the philosophy and management of the game itself are hugely flawed.

Fuck you, EA, fuck you.
