City building gamers?

[Zanessa]

Anyone here into City Building games like SimCity and stuff like that?

I've been playing City Builders since SimCity 3000 Unlimited. I have SimCity Societies, SimCity 4, and unfortunately, SimCity 2013. I'm thinking about getting Cities: Skylines since people have been saying it's the SimCity "we deserved and never got" but I'm not sure I wanna pay $29.99 for it. I'm just a bit weird like that if I don't know enough people who are saying it themselves that it's worth every penny.. But yeah.

Anyone else here like to build cities or whatever?

I always enjoyed playing Sim City games (2000 and 3000 Unlimited). I played a little of 4 I think but that was about the time that I stopped play pc games. The bad part was I always cheated because I didn't have the patience to deal with taxes and unhappy citizens lol I just wanted to build a massive city and feel proud of it.

I don't know how it would work but I feel city/empire building games would be ideal for a system like the Wii U. I always enjoyed the Civilization games even though it's different in a so many ways. I guess it's the feeling of accomplishment and building a massive creation that is so intriguing. It's one of the genres I miss the most from when I would play pc games.

If you're not sure about Skylines I know a lot of people are streaming it on Twitch lately so you might get a better idea of how the game is over there.

I was going to say Cities: Skylines, I haven't played it but my brother does sometimes I think and it's pretty decent looking. I should see what he says about it.

I love city building games, but since I switched over to a Mac it's harder for me to play them

Honorable mention for Anno 2070 maybe?

Oh, don't get me started! SimCity 4 is one of my favourite games. It's a struggle for me to put it down...

My GF got Cities: Skylines and is having a blast with it. I'm staying away with it because I can't afford to get sucked into another management sim right now, lol. If you're still undecided I suggest watching LGR's review if you haven't already, see if it's worth 30 USD or not. Personally I think it's a much better buy than SC2013, though admittedly that's a low bar to get over. But from what I can see it's worth the money.

I also like a lot of KairoSoft's mobile games, the paid ones. Not the freemium ones though, the pay-walls really break the game.

Sim City 3

I haven't tried any SimCity games, but I'm a fan of Rollercoaster/Zoo Tycoon. Those games were a good chunk of my childhood, lol

I love "building" games like Kairosoft or Sims City.

I am waiting on Cities: Skyline since I want the premium one and I'm hoping a sale will wander in.

Yeah, Skylines is pretty great. I'd say it's worth the price, although I did get it $10 less on a pre-order sale.

Addicting. As. Hell.

Minecraft is great and trains simulators can be fun not necessarily for driving trains but the open world builder thing search trainz

Surprised no one has mentioned Tropico.

I completely forgot about tropico actually. I've been out of it since I started work

Welp. This means I gotta get it. Yet another game to add onto the list.
