    They lost me with Sim City 3 and 4 didn't do anything to soothe my chapped ass.

    I am holding out hope with this one. It's obviously not a shovelware Sim City 5. I remain skeptical only because EA is in charge, but everything we've been shown so far points to awesome game.

    I'd like to give Sim City a try again now that I'm an adult with an understanding of public policy and governments.

    So, you'll burn everything down just like you did as a kid, but it'll be a more cathartic experience this time around.

    Exactly.

    Chaos will occur spontaneously in every area of the city at once?

    Should be called The SimCity.

    I want this. The shadows, ambient occlusion, simplification of utilities, new sociological assumptions, variety and evolution of buildings -- it all looks good. Plus, in the 10 or so years since I've played Sim City I've learned an awful lot about urban planning.

    I'm really liking this version; Whereas the previous versions were based on fairly simple pass/fail networks of supply >= demand, this seems to be based on concentrations and equilibriums - A worthy successor, being not too much more advanced, but more fun in the long run as you try to keep the equilibriums on track.

    I have a friend who is studying urban planning who has put something like 400 hours into Cities XL. He'll be all about this.

    Me, I don't see the point in building structures unless tanks are going to roll of out them. Then again, I feel that way in real life sometimes.

    I thought the utilities were already too oversimplified in 3. I liked the specific placement of all elements in 2k.

    I was worried that this would be dumbed down, à la Sim City Societies, but from their reddit AMA and news I've gotten this seems like it'll kick ass. It has been too long since I played Sim City.
