  • Welcome to SimCity 2013 the latest release in the sim city franchise that kick started the city building games that we now play like cities skylines. Today however we are playing the Sim City 2013 game that is now 8 years old and upon release was widely regarded to be the worst city builder and management game in the series. Today we will be making the worst city in sim city by not supplying residents with access to jobs, utilities like power and water heck not even access to food or fire services. This means the entire city will be a terrible place to live with bodies piling up on the streets. However thanks to some incredible video game design and balancing from EA simcity is broken and will still allow the worst city in the game to make great profit! We will be playing with all of the dlcs including the cities of tomorrow expansion that added perfectly balanced mega towers.
    So is sim city 2013 a perfectly balanced game with no exploits or if creating the worst city to live in is actually a profitable way of playing this city builder game! My goodness this really is broken!
    If you want a copy of spore you can buy it on steam here:
    store.steampow...
    What you have seen here today is part of a fantastic perfectly balanced series on youtube where I go from game to game and break them with wacky exploits to gain things like unlimited gold. If you enjoyed this then be sure to check out more. The style is similar to RT game and callmekevin in parts. A large influence on this series has come from Valefisk and The Killian Experience.

      I’ll be honest I can entirely see why it got that score, back in the day I would’ve given this a 9/10 too, the music and art style are beautiful and stuff like curved roads were brand new and makes city building way more interesting. The multiplayer region aspect is a really cool idea that should be returned to as real city planning involves a lot of collaboration with neighbours, and managing pollution spreading over your borders. The worst issues were the buggy agent system, tiny map sizes, and online restrictions. (which was bad but I see why they wanted to force people to try the multiplayer.) But at the time, I can still see why people would find this to be the best city builder yet.
      Cities Skylines definitely beats this game completely and the way the developers *actually supported the game* really made it incredible, but I would love to see a sequel to that return to the collaborative aspects of SimCity 2013, and I hope another game lets you upgrade buildings in the same way this game does, building 3 identical coal power plants in Skylines has always been disappointing to me, when in this game you could upgrade facilities with extra features that could influence the way they worked, e.g. cleaner coal burners, or burners that made more power per unit.

And there was balance issues. It didn't take long before I'm just frustrated and there was nothing more to do anyway except sit and watch the city. I built more cities but that wasn't really satisfying enough. I played at launch, so I don't know the state of the game now though. But I never felt like I wanted to go back to it.

      Yeah. Well, no. Every British colony fought for independence because local politicians wanted to collect the tax themselves. The American colonies were pretty well-off compared to England in terms of tax. And almost no one in England had "representation" either back then. Both sides were lead to war by dickheads.

      The reason was because instead of installing useless stuff like "water" and "an economy" they should´ve installed Nissan Leaf charging stations, since they dont need electricity, they could have used those.

    I love how Nissan Leaf doesn't want you to connect its charging stations to coal power plants because you MIGHT just put 2+2 together in terms of electrification right now.

    I bought it back then on release. I swear, ive never had soo much frustration with a game like this one. It was worse than the GTA Online release.
    EA even made up for it and gave every customer who bought the game within the first week or so after the release the chance to pick 1 game from their store for free. Sadly i missed this.
