I Played SimCity 2013: Cities of Tomorrow... In 2023 

Yeah it's sad, they should have kept it closer to what SimCity 4 was 🫤

You have EA to thank for every deviation from what made the series great

Yes..small...but depend to another cities in the region. At least now look at cities 2 performance..now I understand why they took this approach.

It looks like when folks do a "1 chunk challenge" in Minecraft

All thanks EA for their greed

That's a great tip! Thanks a lot 😄

For me it was the gridlocks eternal..

Biggest letdown for me was that you could only play it via EAPlay. If it was on Steam I think it would have helped a lot. (...that, and the online only thing they tried to cram in.)

Noticed that too! Really excited to see how CS 2 turns out 😄

Could you elaborate?

Really nice to see that. Makes it feel like SimCity didn't completely died. Some elements of it at least survived into the Cities Skylines 2.

OmegaCO is cash machine, like EA lol

Wow! Guess I did a terrible job then 😂 I can see the potential with OmegaCo. My problem was the horrible layout and traffic caused by that I think 😅 And that I'm not that good at the game 🤣

First time playing it as well, it was fun enough. But a "better" city would have been great 😂

It is, I just wish they kept the game closer to what SimCity 4 was. At least for the plot sizes, they are a bit small

The studio Maxis was closed by EA shortly after the release of this title so sadly that can't happen. At least we have CS2 to look forward to now

Maxis shut down under the commands of EA so.... Hey, we got CS2 for it's replacement

I agree! They should have kept it closer to what SimCity 4 was 😅

You never know 🤔 It's a neat progression to see an already build "modern" city turn into a futuristic one. Instead of building either or 😅

Cities Skylines 2 takes so much from SimCity2013 it is insane. The roads carrying utilities, the actual road building, the expandable buildings . .

@@FARBerserker more like it takes from the most popular mods of CS 1. I saw the videos of people who got to play the closed beta, and those are clearly mods of cs 1 implemented into cs 2

I can only agree! Could be interesting seeing a new take on the futuristic theme in a city builder. Not like Anno. But with the same progression from a "modern" city to the futuristic over time 😄

I don't think Skylines looks to bad honestly. That being said I have always enjoyed Maxis art style and especially the music! 😄

@@victiusplays it doesn't look bad per se, I just think that simcity looks better, and in all fairness as ypu kinda pointed out maxis does have an amazing style and their music is great

I mean the game it self is rather fun. So I would say if you already own it, it doesn't hurt to try it. I hear from other comments that there is a mod for making the building area bigger. Project Orion it think 😅

@@victiusplaysI've played SC2013 for 2 days straight. First, CS is a far superior game. There is no question in my mind about that. There controls are better, the layout is better. Finding stuff is easier - sans mods - plus a whole host of other stuff. However, I find myself creating BETTER cities now in SC2013 than I did pre-CS. What I've learned over the last 8 years or so with CS has taught me to play better in SC2013. I still can't wait for CS2 though.

Yeah, Im planning to give cities of tomorrow another go. With a city that is designed a bit better to actually utilize the towers and placements 😄

Thanks! Appreciate the support 🙏😄 Its really up to you I would say, if you could se yourself playing it. It's definitely not Cities skylines but I would say still pretty fun for what it is. I have it through GamePass Ultimate. Usually you can get a month trial of that for 1 USD, of you haven't used it already with your email 😅

Glad the video could be of use! Thanks for watching 🙏😄

is it worth it to buy? Im really tempted rn lol

@@Beartic.On sale again 75% discount from EA for next few days. Recommend Complete Edition with all DLCs included. A bargain! I like the smaller size interconnected cities with their own specialisations. Hope Skylines 2 picks up on some of these ideas.

I hope not 😂 But I know Skylines can be brutal with the traffic, still not good at managing it when I play 😅

Had to look of some screenshots, never played Cyberpunk. But I mean it's not far off 😂

I would say, it is a fun game and the cities of tomorrow dlc is quite good. Sometimes I need something that is not Cities Skylines 😅

Seriously? 😅 is that what Nissans do to people 😂

@@victiusplays in simcity yes! It was a add on that was broken in my opinion. No matter where you put one, the residents all over get happy. You can add as many as you like 😂

@@SmallGadgetMan Huh, how about that. Never knew 😂

Glad you enjoyed it 🙏😄

Well... Sort of, not the once you can place after researching at the academy. I used the solar panel crown on two mega towers 😅

Yeaaa... The future stuff though was pretty interesting 😅

I know, its not pretty 🙄 But hey, it's not my fault Denmark is completely flat, I don't know any better 😂

If you got a console Skylines is available there 😅

@@victiusplays true! Maybe I should fire that up again, havent used my xbox in years

Year I saw that mod! It really seemed interesting 🤔

I could try to do that at some point, would probably be better than using a city I build without thinking to much about layout 😅

@@victiusplaysand on a plot that is not good for actually building. don't try to be fancy and challenge yourself by making a bad plot work. and even if you do not go for omega drones, the fastest way to make good money from trade is to beeline the processor factory and the recycling center. you need to get high wealth and high tech industry buildings somehow, i think. good education will mean more recycling. which will also help with the garbage piling up problem. fuck metal, just do plastic and alloy reclamation, 2 lines each. that is enough to feed a fully built up processor factory for the most part and as i wrote before, processor sell of obscene ammounts of money and because you do it from recycling, you are not actually dependent on the actually VERY FINITE ressources oil and ore for this. Meaning you can use oil and ore for omega instead. If you want to do omega too and not just a nice clean academy city for even more obscene ammounts of money, then you need to do it on a plot with both huge ammounts of ore and oil and you need to build around the ore mine and the oil drilling wells. Place the omega factories close or in between them. And then you can use the low level appartment level megatowers to supply the workers for that if you want. not really needed. in most cases the towers will create more problems than they solve.

Appreciate the support! Thanks for watching 🙏😄

Yeah that's true! Traffic can be a nightmare and there is no way to encourage walking. Then its only public transport instead of cars.

Huh how about that 😅 Don't tend to use cheats though 😄

Tbh haven't seen much of CS2 I'm saved a lot of the surprises for release 😅

That could actually be really fun! 😄
