So, I guess you and I can discuss the merits of this game sometime in 2020?

You would like the new SIMCITY. Even though right now you can only play for an hour, it isn't a high demand gme. 2 GB ram, 512 MB video card, at least a dual core PC

I don't think I will buy it, not a serious game in the least.

What'd they do to it that makes it a step down from the earlier ones?

(18,807 posts)6. Ugh, if they're starting to actually script the game that sucks pretty bad
Baffling too, it's not like Simcity isn't going to have a pretty stable customer base if they don't fix what isn't broken.
