After almost 10 years of waiting for this game...
But... after 10 long years of waiting.. they come up with this flashy piece of sh*t.. I read all the negative comments and feedback for this game but i didn't want to believe it until i actually played it.
After the 1st few hours, I swear i felt insulted..
---------------------------------------------
Pros:
1. Amazing animation and design (finally cars and people were actual objects)
2. Updated graphics
3. Looks pretty, and runs smooth
4. Too much cons in my mind to think about any more pros.
Cons:
1. WTF is with the online-only gameplay? The use of DRM never went this low for a freakin city building game.
2. Game Price = my left leg
3. My neighborhood is bigger than these so called "cities"
4. Save/load? nope
5. Placeable highways or trains/subway? nope
6. DLC price = my right arm
7. There are LESS FEATURES in this title than SC4
8. Option for single player and multiplayer? nope
9. Wtf is it with having "neighbors"?
10. Having to use the most amazing program ever = ORIGIN
11. No mods
12. Ridiculously over-sized parks that have a "circle of effect" of literally 2 houses.
13. Good luck when servers go down.
14. It's like i'm playing a really good facebook game.

What the hell happened to this amazing series? How low could electronic arts and their associates go, just to suck money from the series' loyal fan base? I mean if they created a REAL successor to SC4 and it costs twice or three times as much as SC5, i would actually buy it. At least the creativity, culture and heritage of "simcity" is still there.
Oh well then, i guess we have to either wait for a patch or update that creates miracles or we'll just have to wait for simcity 6.
