Tropico 4 is 7. 49 right now on steam. Seems like a good deal. Go or no go?

definitely go for it, even if you were getting SC right now anyway. I'd recommend going for the collectors bundle since it's only a little more expensive and the DLC is great. Base Tropico 4 lacks is a wide variety of buildings/services, but the DLC provides that (I admit it's mostly aesthetic though).


Yeah I think I will get it, collectors bundle is like a dollar more. 

I still will probably get Sim City, because I really do want to play the game based on what I've seen, but I'll wait a bit.

Not compatible with Windows 7, which he probably has.

SimCity 4 worked on Win7 for me.

@Tropico, I really dislike that game.

I could never get it to work even after reading lots of supposed internet fixes. Random crashes at odd intervals.



Yeah, I'm a stupid impulsive person.

I just downloaded Sim City.

SimCity is pretty much out of the woods now. They've added a ton of servers, you shouldn't have much of an issue loading it and playing after this morning.

I tried Cities XL... it was alright. Basically my reaction when playing it was that I wished I had a new SimCity to play



The Screamapillar is easily identified by its constant screaming—it even screams in its sleep. The Screamapillar is the favorite food of everything, is sexually attracted to fire, and needs constant reassurance or it will die.

I've heard that Tropico 4 is a good alternative.
