:O

pretty excited. I bought Cities XL 2012 to scratch the itch, and it is a good game.............. wonderfully complex, but just doesnt work the way you want it to. the overall management is kinda broken so it gets crazy difficult juggling everything even when you have unlimited money.

yeah ive been reading the responses on metacritic. the peoples are not happy. It has stopped me from buying it anyway. I'm sure someone has figured out how to priate the game anyway. and hopefully someone will make a mod to stop the need for online connection and online saving (the dumbest thing ive ever heard for a non-MMORPG)

i digged a bit deeper and the whingy kind of players (theres always a select few with every game, and always a platoon with AAA titles) have come up with some good points:

Firstly, the traffic jam chaos, lack of business for certain jobs/shops and buses/schools issues.

Apparently the other sim cities didnt have this issue. and that an easy fix would have been to reserve houses/jobs for people as they leave the house. to prevent people just following them and going to a full house/job.

Secondly, some people are claiming the population of your game (not in sandbox) is limited to 300k. At 280k or so, everyone runs into a disaster. Lizard, zombie apocalypse, meteor shower etc. When you rebuild and recover, happens again. rinse repeat. a bit disappointing.

Got a mate with a city of 320k still going. I call BS on that disaster.

    • I believe Unimog is the only vehicle that has it (from the manufacturer). I haven't seen aftermarket permanently connected kits, but I haven't looked either.
    • Ha ha ha, can't overthink when exhausted... Oh how I wish I had that power! I can be absolutely dead set shot, and my brain will still go "we need a good 3 or 4 hours to just think about everything and anything before you may sleep... My biggest thing is making sure I give myself enough sleep. I don't operate on even 7 hours of sleep! I attempt to give my body 9.5hours sleep a night to be able to function. I don't sleep the whole 9.5, but I need to make sure I offer a big window. I also take a single supplement, which is to help with long term health, and fighting inflammation, and I notice it helps massively. Especially me sleeping, and just less "achey" in the body. Have also kicked sugar, and gluten. A majority of people with ADHD don't go well with gluten. It causes a really interesting natural opioid overdose in the brain, which causes bodily issues and sensory issues.
    • Yeah that's what I meant, permanently connected not manual
    • Yep. But typically that's just run a hose down to the tyre while stationary.   Oh and the Unimog will automatically air up and air down tyres from the onboard computer for you too.
    • There was a good video somewhere, maybe Kurzgesagt that linked physical activity to ADHD/Anxiety/Insomnia etc. Basically the body WILL spend energy doing something if you don't spend it doing anything physical. It isn't fun, but I personally have noticed I've never been overthinky, or unable to sleep if I'm physically exhausted from doing a lot. The musings around it seem to indicate that this is one of the reasons/mechanism that physical activity improves mental health/wellbeing etc, by more or less not using that 'extra' energy to overthink, be anxious, inflammation, etc. There's also the fact that every obnoxious exerciser ever says it's great and helps which is extremely annoying. Like people who say the same thing about travel being the best thing ever. I mean, they clearly are, but blah. I started doing a LITTLE myself (think 3x15min per week) and honestly did notice the benefits, aiming at life quality when older. Which is sooner than you think. Getting something into your routine that you can actually make a routine has helped me at least. This post brought to you by procrastination between sets.
