    Though Cities in Motion 2 is good and quite in depth, its not without its bugs and graphical flaws.

    I remain cautious about this.

    Gotta love seeing Paradox full on slap EA in the face with the trailer, specifically the play offline bit, modding mention and then that pan shot showing the huge map thats gonna be available, cannot wait for this

    This is very true but Maxis badly need competition other than the rather unfortunate Cities XL in this sub-genre. It may make EA step up their game a nice bit if they lose some market share.

    Big fan of Cities in Motion 2. Some of the small bugs were very annoying though.

    Looks like this has proper terrain editing tools. One of the best bits of sim city 4 was creating a map you like. I used to have some zones as ocean and some as mountains etc. Then build massive cities on a collection of zones and some rural zones. Like a small country. Hopefully this will offer something similar.

    Plus it seems to have city ordinances like sim city 4 had. I was expecting a big improvement in the newest sim city with them but they took them out altogether!

    God, I hate that game so much

    I read they were thinking of having a same sex marriage one but they werent sure if it would make the final game!

    Q & A with Paradox interactive.

    No regions which is a bit disappointing for me but not a deal breaker by any means.

    Modding tools available from launch which is great.

    Great stuff. The more I read about the game and developer the better this sounds.

    Really looking forward to this

    Was watching a few on twitch yesterday. None of them had any massive issues with the game from what I seen. All seemed to be enjoying it

    It's about €17 on Nuuvem but you'll need a VPN.

    Not since Sim City 4 have I been tempted to dip my toes back into the city simulation genre, but I fear my toes are about to get wet.

    I almost totally lost faith in game devs after that fiasco.
    Everyone should be entitled to a refund.

    Really looking forward to this. There hasn't been a decent city builder since Sim City 4 imo. I tried Cities XXXL a couple of weeks back and it was pure muck.

    Very tempted to pick this up. Its years since i really played a sim game like this (maybe even as far back as Sim City 2000), but the streams looks excellent and i could do with something slower paced. Its out on the 10th, yeah?

    It was evident after a few hours of playing SC it wasnt anything like they promised and had serious issues.
    Skylines has been streamed for well over a week now and nothing but positive feedback so fingers crossed.

    I was dead set against pre-ordering due to the sim city debacle but with all the streams going that look awesome plus Paradoxes pedigree in DLC and mod support i decided to break my rule
