Wow, Simcity Societies is best described as a gamer's abortion

[Scouzer]

This is the only Sim-anything that lasted only one hour of playtime for me before I was done with it.

The worst part is this is such a failure that it will likely be the last Simcity game for many years. It'll probably be a decade now before the series is revived.

Great job EA...

I looked at it at a friends house.
Ugh , its just like I thought, sim city meets the sims.

Looks like about as much fun as a 300 page unix manual.

EA is the anti-Midas - they turn gold into shit.

I think the series reached its peak with 3K. I could never get into 4.

So who wants to step up to the plate and create their own city building game? We could call it 'OpenCity: Fvck EA Edition'

Agreed. There were some good ideas in 4 but the execution felt very un-Will Wrightish.

Thank you for saving me $40.

Not as if most of us didn't call this one.

SIM everything has been crap for a long ass time so this is no surprise.

I did enjoy sending my SIM into his swimming pool, then deleting the ladder so he would panic and make booga-booga noises and drown.

That's the last fond memory I have of any of the SIM series games.

I believe the game is more about aesthetics than core urban planning? So it's Simcity for 8-year-old girls?

Only after they kill and eat the goose that laid the golden egg.

I'd rather try to influence somethingawful to make their own version and call it SA City. The possibilities seem endless!

Great job EA...

Is it really that bad?

 

[Engraver]

SimAnt was the bomb.

It's really bad for calling it 'Simcity' anything. I suppose on the grand scale, it's only a 4/10...which isn't the worst ever.

I didn't play Streets of Simcity, no, but I even loved Simcopter back in the day.

Fixed. Still got the thing running on emulators Wish they'd remake it though.

2k was the best, kinda went downhill after that. I had so much fun getting attacked by aliens in the game =)

It was also the last SimCity game that could run unattended for weeks at a time.
