Posted November 12, 200915 yr Anyone played this? Looks like a cross between SimCity and Settlers... http://www.citiesxl.com Gameplay [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQXv4I1mbK4]YouTube- Cities XL game play[/ame] There comes a time in every musician's life when they must decide what instrument they should master. Few. If any are ever worthy enough to master. The cowbell.
November 12, 200915 yr I'm actually quite keen on this, although I won't pay $100 for it. If it's $50 or around there through various means I'll probably pick it up (after trialling of course) http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee94/psyrus_uraya/awards-1.png QFT: Your computer is smart man.

November 12, 200915 yr Author Yeah, i still quite like those type of games but by the looks of it its an MMO (sub based one which is crapola!). That site lists two versions and the 'ultimate' version looks like it has a solo mode, hopefully the standard ver has that too.

November 12, 200915 yr looks pretty cool good to see a game coming out that tries to break the sim city dominance
November 12, 200915 yr I could waste so much time on that game. But i find M$ Paint handles my city building plans. Though it is much harder to make into 3D http://i295.photobucket.com/albums/mm127/vandal1313/Cities-091015.jpg Noddy´s Awesomeness = HAPPY GEK http://i295.photobucket.com/albums/mm127/vandal1313/Disobidience-small.jpg
November 12, 200915 yr Author It's terrible, they have nubbed it up. Read a review (Atomic) and they said that the single player is quite good but where it falls down is in the MMO part, namely the economic side of things, if you loose your connection it doesn't end your session on the server and as it updates your economy (profit/loss) every 5 seconds you can end up with serious probs. might have to see if there is a demo floating around the internetz...

November 12, 200915 yr And if anyone finds a good link to "acquire" the full version from, I would be gladly interested. I may very well get it if its good enough, but I prefer to try b4 I buy. http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/ss187/Chanvlan/new_kit.jpg yeah but this is the internet' date=' you have to expect the unexpected or else you'll get caught out by things you should've expected but didn't. Its exactly like knowing about the stuff you dont know about, that way you know theres stuff you dont know so when you know what you dont know you can say "ah i knew that!"[/quote']

November 12, 200915 yr Author That being said I'm still grabbing it off the seas to make sure it's worth $43... considering it took me over a year to be convinced that fraps was worth $47 dont spose you could pm me a link me to the right buccaneer so i too can take the skiff for a nice cruise through the roaring 40's to see whether or not it is also worth the purchase?

November 13, 200915 yr Hmmm, demo requires registering, and the website says registering for the demo is not available anymore. I too would like to pay a visit to Mr Jack Sparrow. http://img22.imageshack.us/img22/2561/bigdsig.jpg
November 13, 200915 yr Apparently it's so unpopular that I have found no sources for the updated/extended demo on any of the sites I'm familiar with. I did do some further reading and the general consensus on forums seems to be that it isn't even worth the $43 they're charging. Several people have discussed a possible sequel which might be better in terms of more seamless integration of the 'mmo' aspect... however I seriously doubt that. http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee94/psyrus_uraya/awards-1.png QFT: Your computer is smart man.

November 13, 200915 yr Author mmo side of things doesn't bother me in the slightest, solo play tho is a different story. still, a spew is a spew i spose . . .
