New Sim City

[Yskonyn]

Thanks for the replies.  Doesn't look like there is a recent demo.  I've not owned/played any of the Cities versions so was willing to maybe give it a shot, but I'm seeing bad reviews (buggy, memory leak, lack of dev support).  Guess I'll wait and see how the world feels about the new SimCity to see if its worth getting even with the always on DRM...

Well, I'll add that if you can find CitiesXL 2011 or 2012 for a low price, you'll get Platinum for 85% off, making that 3 bucks.
I've seen 2011 for as low as 3 bucks on the netz. So that would make Platinum total at 6 bucks or so, including the cheap purchase of 2011.
It's definately worth the 6 bucks. :P

The new Sims is going to require that you are connected to the internet.  Surprisingly that has been little discussed here.

Probably because, with all the back-and-forth we've had regarding "always online" DRM the last couple years, there's really not much to discuss.  Those that don't care about that requirement will get the game, while those that dislike such schemes (such as myself) will not.
