New SimCity

[ddinsm]

I pre ordered from Amazon, supposed to deliver tomorrow... first non IOS video game I've ordered in years and certainly the first I've been excited and pre ordered since the 90's

Been watching letsallbemayor.com for the last week and seeing these guys build and destroy cities has been awesome.... hopefully we can all setup a SatGuys regions.

Played for 3 hours last night with nothing but initial download issues. Amazon even released the key 2 hours earlier than previously stated. Took about 20 minutes to download and no hiccups once I was in.

Game is amazing.

This morning went to check in on my city and getting an error accessing the region, so switched over to NA West and am able to browse a friend's game there, so must be a NA East thing.

I'm sure there will be no shortage DRM-hating, small map, "EA is the debil!" reviews.

Man I'm not going to be able to get my copy for a couple of days but can't wait. I did order the strategy guide to give me some tips due to never played any of the previous ones.

I plan on starting out in signal player due to want to get a good feel for things then I will switch over to Multi.

May as well wait.. Give them at least a week to upgrade server capacity and iron out all the severe bugs, like being unable to create a city..

I've created two cities since that was posted.

I believe most of their problems are server specific and very intermittent.

Probably take a break from it today, but had a fairly error-free 10 or so hours of the first 24 with very few problems or queues.

Some screens for those actually interested in the game:

Yeah it will be probably next week before I get my copy so I hope they have some of the issues taken care of by then.
