Now city skylines has tunnels
And night
***** Are you stupid?
+Funnystein
it has.
the hat yes i know
no lol youre possessed by demons
MOST of the negative things about skylines have been added/fixed after the video
ikr
So which cities skylines should I get then?
Brad S get the basic game and all the add on dude. Don’t be cheap.
@@MarioRodriguez-pd6lp how is that being cheap

Cities Skylines: live - SimCity 2013: dead
oooh i see
CS >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> SimCity 2013
I have a disk for simcity with the expansion pack and I don’t know what to do with it
@@afrenchy7718 welp... You can slice a bun with it...
As an owner of both Cities Skylines and Sim City 2013 I won't be telling you which one is "better" but, spoiler alert: Cities Skylines is better.
+musicalaviator I am a owner of both too. I would still say the SimCity is much more polished and it looks lovely.
Cities Skylines looks great too, but it's lacks the polish that SimCity has, for obvious reasons. SimCity has been doing this longer.
i find Skylines a more in depth game as far as gameplay is concerned. The massive mod community is also a big plus.
out of the box, Skylines still had a better gameplay, but Sim City did have a more realistic looking graphics and style to it.
But a 50km sq area to play in (mod needed to unlock all of it admittedly) from Skylines just blows Sim Hamlet's tiny square out of the water, ocean and sky.
+musicalaviator CS doesn't have modular buildings. Even Anno 2205 has them.
+musicalaviator so do I need consistent internet access for Cities Skylines??... because I couldn't hear the last part
+dewin hernandez Nope. Skylines was one of my fallback games when my ISP broke my internet for 3 weeks. Just had to start up Steam in offline mode and happy hours of offline time awaited. Save games and Mods saved prior to dropping offline work as if you were online.
Most of the stuff missing in Cities Skylines is in it now. Tunnels, day-night cycle, tourism, and pretty soon dynamic weather.
+Xipo86 That's what he meant by 'dynamic weather'.
+Darth Apples Dude, there are two things of DLC and when this video came out the was no DLC. Cities Skylines has all of the things he stated in this video without DLC
You forgot most important. Multiplayer!!
I have some of those in my version right now
+Darth Apples Compared to Cities XL i also miss the economy table to control the cities ressources and trading. But this still exists, its just in the background. I hope they will implement this feauture soon.
1:28 was this necessary
Ummmm yes
They just meant that SimCity is just like a penis. CS is the better game.
THAT IS A DICK
Extremely
Time Walker why....are you saying that SC gave birth to CS?....bc it kinda did
city skylines makes simcity look like shit.
+TheChildhoodRuiner15 : I like your name...
Dr Theisen thanks
Simcity 5 makes Simecity 5 look like shit. Basically because it is really fucked up shit. No need for Skylines for that!
+ZildSteve I thought it came out 2014
I play both.
Nowadays skylines has tunnels, night time and if you arent playing on a fucking carrot, good graphics.
also there is tourism specialization and leisure specialization if you get the expansoin pack
xD
+jerrylittlemars yes and Winter
ukkomies100
Actually, most carrots run the game pretty well. It's potatoes that aren't so good: most crash on startup, or have an extremely low frame rate (between 5 and 15 fps on average)
ummm, what are "carrots" and "potatoes"? And why do I have this craving for pot roast?
Should I stop playing SimCity and start CS?
In my opinion, I think both games are fun. Just play which ever game you think you'd enjoy more :D
Yeah thanks. Wich did you prefer, SimCity or Cities Skylines?
Rodrigo Pecoits I'm leaning more towards Skyline because of the modding capabilities and road works.
Rodrigo Pecoits cities skylines best city building game i ever played...
Abhinav Raj Yeah, I'm really thinking in changing games
Cities Skylines DOES have tunnels.
Edit: This video came out before that feature was added, so this comment is basically irrelevant. It just punctuates Cities Skylines superiority.
+KidView Not when he released the video
+KidView that was a later patch/update
+KidView All the bad things said about skylines have now been fixed/upgraded, can simcity say the same?
+Johnny West Or otherwise said.
The people that made Skylines want to improve it.
The people that made simcity, not so much.
+Londronable Has EA forgotten about SimCity? It hasn't had anything done to it in ages.
Just to mention, Most of the shortcomings you mention for Skylines have been addressed in updates and expantions.
Derelict Friend oh and by mods as well
yeah but he said the vanilla game so also no dlc i think
Like: City Skylines
Comment: SimCity
No one commented!😁PS:I Like cs more
piss off with this like comment bullshit, no one cares.
@@TheZeyon apparently 12 people do
Gg
Oof
redo this
cities skylines is very different now
ale haim, and simcity is outdated
Cities skylines has night now.
You should replace "different" with "improved".
Skylines is still broken
Squid-force exactly, you can't build a city in skylines, only paint one. It's like a glorified blender for cities. You plop all your placeholder game assets and viola a city minus the gameplay or an organically grown town
Interesting to watch 5 years later and see how much C:S has not only closed all the gaps, but grown far beyond. I love city building games, and I'm very glad to have graduated to C:S.
Cities Skylines is so superior to SimCity it is like comparing the Beatles and Justin Bieber.
+MrAflac9916 SimCity is made in 2013 and in 2015 Citiesc skylens it is probably clear that it will be better graphics in Cities skylens
+Crazy Gaming nothing to do with graphics
+Crazy Gaming ugghh yet again someone who calls himself a gamer but only looks at the graphics.. This comparison is not about graphics and if so i would even say that simcity looks a tiny bit better.. BUT its about the gameplay and by that cities skylines beats simcity by the thousands
Hmm, the similarities. Justin Bieber and simcity walk hand-in-hand. Justin Bieber was also someone who had talent, a big following, but then was found by a great company that made him bigger, so bi that it became a sell-out, and to the community's suprise flip the script to become an asshole. EA-games you will look back at this and laugh as you enter comedy centrals roast in a few years. Be very afraid.
no, its like comparing Roller coaster tycoon world to planet coaster
Playing skylines on low settings - tell everybody there is shitty graphic ;D
+MegaMapper plays a game which has the main point of being a simulation of a complex (eco-socio-)system, complains about the only thing that almost needlessly draws the most processing power from the main point of the game :-D :-D
Sim city
Might want to turn the graphics up then.
+MegaMapper No, that's actually how Skylines looks despite the settings.
Luis Miclat sim city only looks like a child's game when the graphics are low if u put every thing on high and ultra the graphics looks amazing and realistic but the only down fall is your game will run extremely choppy and slow
So, it seems that as much as I have a nostalgic love for SimCity (from the olden days) EA has, well, been EA and not kept up to speed with their competition. The lack of graphics and music in CS is a compromise I'm willing to take in favor of a better developed/matured game play. The Agent system & mod community was a big factor/win for CS for me. So, this is now where I buy the game and never see light for 6 months. Hope my Boss understands. Thanks AsilksWorld!
Things that have changed with Cities Skylines since this video.... Skylines now has road tunnels. After that they added a European pack, consisting of European styled commercial, residential, and services type buildings, all for free. It also has Day and Night cycles which was a free part of their new expansion titled After Dark, which when purchased added prison complex, more leisure options, and buildings. Now with the Snowfall expansion we are getting fucking snow for free, and a tram service and some other new stuff when we pay.
+LilTRoberts1000 Also tourism is a thing for a long as I can remember. "Visitors" is what represents it.
+LilTRoberts1000 Yup. After Dark really focused on the tourism. You can have nightclubs, taxis, and pretty much, try and recreate a real city in a lesser way for more tourism, compared to Simcity. Who the hell said that the Washington Monument is next to the Eiffel Tower?
Wow I remember when sim city was the best.
Cities skylines probably one of my most favorite games ever
crazy how obsolete this video became, not because its a bad video but because pretty much all of the crituqes of skylines in this video have either been completely fixed or changed because of either DLC or mods. Skylines is hands down the way to go
that is a comparison based on both official release state in general not with the mods.
@@gamerstellar No? he is talking about the vanilla fixes not mods.
I have both and I recommend having cities skylines
RareGamer8115 i agree
same
Same i also have both
Yeah i have both and cs is best
+RareGamer8115 I also have both and prefer Simcity.
Knowing how Paradox works : add-on will be there soon, and more things will be added. :D
Hopefully so. :)
***** They need to pump up the graphics and level of details!! other than that is a fun game to play.
AsilksWorld Heard that tunnels will be added too.
LegendMeadow Got added in update 1.1 :D
***** You called it.
One more thing
Skyline: $30
SimCity: $60
30Simline
No wait what was I even
Tommy That's a good point.
Tommy Simcity is actually $30 now.
I payed 79,95€ for pre-order deluxe and 29,95€ cities of tomorrow. Simcity is now old and it still costs same or more than cities skylines. Cities of tomorrow cost same as Cities skylines. :D
Herbertti O_o That's so expensive... EU taxation?
Sim city is $13 now. $20 for complete edition.
Bob likes skylines more in nearly every factor except for the utilities in which he finds the modular system to be very cool.
I agree with you
Now in 2016 i think you can say that City Skylines is more of a simulation while Sim City is more of a game to have fun with, if you get what I mean.
flops031 i agree if city size was bigger Sim City would have gotten better response.
XquisiteGDR I don't think that's what he meant.
welp i already think its good enough
What I don't get is ur profile picture
Just like all sims games
he began with saying this wasn't a comparison, but in the end, he clearly stated that it was
1:28 I understood that you are a creative artist
a mature artist indeed
Skylines recently blew Simcity out of the water with its new expansion pack, "After Dark".
+Broncosdude 18 simcity is hitting the right thing,something that we ALL want.ONLINE PLAYING
+Alex Anderson I got bored of SC easily. Skylines is the shit
Jared Lyon It's expansion pack of things that should of been in the base game
Its like a Medium Wage dad gets a son that has High wage in the future... SO PEACEFUL
I'm surprised there is even a comparison against skyline on which to buy. I played both, it's skylines hands down.Even before they had tunnels, day night cycles, and a shitload of transportation options. My simcity cities were tiny! They should really call it simtown or simvillage.
95% Cities Skyline better than SimCity 2013
4% 50/50
1% SimCity 2013 better that Cities Skyline
SimMadness As a SimCity player for almost 3-4 years, i have played CS for 2 weeks and it already made me feel addicted :D
О русский
you can get 80 tiles with mods
Nope, only 25.
steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=576327847&searchtext=81+tiles it's actually 81 tiles

Can you tell me how many tiles again please?
Not to mention the mods are what makes Skylines a winner in my book. The community is so great.
There's tunnels in Cities Skylines
And night time

and tourism districts
and nighttime

SimCity used to be fantastic, but EA fucked up with simcity 5, and the sims 4 too. They made wrong things, thats why Maxis closed
Gonza97 well,this reason is only 5% right,where are other 95%?ask Cities skyline,they made it
***** im not saying that those games are bad, they are just good, just ok, not amazing like the old ones
***** is not nostalgia, i like the sims 4 and simcity 5 too, but they are not superior to previous games, make a comparative with this two games and the old ones
***** :)
***** i'm asking me the same question, but i think they closed
Why am I watching this, I was not even planning on getting either of these
Oof
Lol neither was I. I ended up buying it a couple months back watching a creator vid about cities skylines lol
lol same
cities skyline have tunnels now
+Benjamin Tomassen Nordahl with the new dlc to cities skylines tourism gets important
Yes
last bastion of simsity diehards die off
For a 2013 game, I gotta say SimCity has some nice graphics
And you literally recorded Skylines with texture quality on Low and level of detail on medium.
fuck the Cities:Skylines and SimCity!
play StalinBuild!
Comrade Stalin lol wtf
Building Gulags never felt better
Aril Mahendra best gulag management simulation evar
In StalinBuild: city builds you!
Aril Mahendra fuck you cities skylines is better than this bullshit game
I love how almost all of the problems you mention with Skylines are now fix or added.
What I want with C:S is the community. It's very vibrant and positive, not to mention their CEO's and staffs, they're very friendly and responsive.
Paolo Ibayan because they care about the game not the money.
Rory Gordon what do you expect? Simcity 2013 made by EA compared to the Simcity 4 where Maxis made it,EA only focus on the money,not the heart of the game.Fucking EA destroyed many good games...
I know its awful. But EA tells the game makers to make loads of money and then gets pissed of when the game isnt good and fails.
+Rory Gordon Incredibly true now Maxis main studio emmerville has been shut down even though EA's Stupid DRM is what killed maxis' games and lost them sales EA logic- if our DRM policy dosent work with the company's game then...shut them down
Few years later: Skyline has night, tunnels, tourism mods, graphic mods... pretty much all the complaints can be fixed with mods and new DLCs
All of them are now in the vanilla version of the game
I enjoyed both games but for different reasons. I would say if you have a vision of a very specific city in mind and you enjoy tons of creative control than Cities Skylines is definitely for you. However I thoroughly enjoy the competitive aspect of Sim City, I like that the game presents me with constraints and challenges that maintain my interest over time where I find the late game in Cities Skylines mainly becomes a bit boring once you reach a certain population. I'm not saying they are equal, I would definitively say Cities is a more well rounded and well produced game, but I don't hate Sim City like a lot of other people do, I just enjoy it for different reasons. I wish they would combine some of the aspects of Sim City into Cities Skylines.
Richard Powell
yeah the End game can be a bit annoying, at around 100k people you just do the same things over and over again.
Thats why i stopped 3 times there :P
It would be interesting if you made an updated version of this vid to see what changes happened to both games over the years.
First, I would like to applaud your presenting skills. I enjoyed how you presented the information in this video without having a biased view. It was clear, and to the point. Second, I think I am now going to buy Cities Skylines. I love building games, and I like the highways, and bridges in Cities Skylines.
Heyy,
So I can't really decide which Game to choose... I really like the upgrades of each of the houses/utilities and i also like the extension pack Cities of tomorrow and the graphics from SimCity2013. On the other Hand I reall y like the more "open world" type , of City: Skyline
Which Game would you suggest is right for me?
Thanks
Or should I wait for the next SimCity? :O
+Juli Vogt The creator of Simcity were completely shut down by EA, so there will be no Simcity 6 not will there be any updates for 5. I would get skylines.
Oh really? :O Damn .. Cities of tomorrow was looking pretty sweet ..
Does Cities: Skylines have Spacestation, universities and other things like SimCity4 Deluxe Rdition does?
Juli Vogt Simcity was deeply flawed and racked with problems. Poor support from the developers and now there is none. Very limited gameplay, and rather than expanding upon city building like the previous title, it shrank everything and "simplified" it for reason which simcity fans still can't fathom. Still, I do miss it. It had a charm which Skylines seems to lack. However, Skylines is a vastly more in depth game and works excellently; a far superior title. However I find myself sorely miss the building expansions that Simcity had, the atmosphere and the music.
Sim City loses frankly because Cities: Skylines has mods and a huge modding community. So no amount of expansions can bring Sim City ahead, the only perk it has is multiplayer but with mods? Who knows that can already be a thing.
I've seen lengthy LPs of Sim City and it doesnt' have the same depth or staying power. Even Lazy Game Reviews, a guy who owns every copy variant of every Sim City says the newest one is just disappointing, Skylines comes out later at half the cost and no online DRM and crushes Sim City.
I wish Sim City was better, the multiplayer would have been a great option but they dropped the ball and just about any Sim City before it is superior never the less Cities.
+Snotnarok I expect they will make a mod or patch in CS later, though idk how it will work. ive thought about it and it would be hard to play multipayer.
+Dylan R Even if it has delays, it'd be similar to Sim City 5. The Multiplayer in that title wasn't instant so, I'm sure whatever mod happens along will be workable enough.
Simcity have mods
*****
There may be mod, or maybe it'll be included in a sequel. But fair enough.
Snotnarok the always online DRM of simcity was the only reason why it had multiplayer
"I bury them in my backyard". Ha! You're funny, son.
When comparing graphics one really should make sure that the graphics settings are maxed out for comparison. I don't even own either game but Cities Skylines looks better to me. If you haven't already you should go back and compare the games again because so much is added to skylines for free (like the day/night cycle) that some of your points in the music and graphics section aren't valid concerns anymore
Alex Ray yeah
Alex Ray and u dont know this video was created long ago before the good graphic exist
Real deal Umm, your logic in writning tgis responce is flawed. I mean, it doesn't even respond to the comment. Besides, of course the good graphics existed. And seeing the video, my internal rage mode was just screaming MAX OUT THE SETTINGS! CS had great graphics back then, too. Granted, they were NOT made for anything lower than high-end PCs, but they were MUCH better.
City Skylines now has night time and tunnels
Finally, an honest comparison this is helpful! I liked seeing it from both sides.
Update: On October 28 I got Simcity, I'll have to see.
Update: I love the game inspite traffic. I can't wait to afford Cities: Skylines, and ty it.
Also...
Corrections: 2:-- Use built-in shortcuts to adjust this: [Ctrl] + [Alt] + W adds $5K to your hourly wages If you do this, but don't press Ctrl, it adjusts how much money you have to spend by $100K. Both methods require sandbox mode, which is like regular mode, except you have the keyboard shortcuts and they give a million Simoleons.
Funny moments:.
2:54 "I'm looking at you, China" LOL
4:37 I"I bury my body's in my backyard **clears throat** " LOLTaatic!
That ending bit. Just wow.
Now we just need cities skylines vs. SimCity 4. I personally think Simcity 4 would win. Simcity 4 has 1,000's more mods, larger maps, better music, more buildings, better graphics, more services, a day and night cycle, better terraforming. Cities skylines may be 3D and it may be 12 years newer but it still doesn't beat SC4.
CaptainCrape Well, thats because Cities: Skylines was made in the Unity engine, I don't know, maybe Cities: Skylines 2 would be made in a custom and/or engine.
SimCity 4 has also been out for much longer
CaptainCrape It's official, the maps of Cities: Skylines are actually bigger then in SimCity 4.
***** Go check again. You're wrong.
Jaime Valladares
"So with the 25 tile mod in Cities skylines you can make cities slightly larger than the biggest city maps in SC4."
-Reddit
The only thing I miss from Simcity now that I've switched to C:S is the ploppable building expansion thing that Simcity has (shown with the firehouse and city hall in this video). It really added more of a customizable feel to your important buildings as well as making things more unique (plus the ability to have more models). Of course, for C:S, you could always just download more building models from the Steam Workshop, so it's nearly moot.
tunnels where added in future updates + trams
Personally I like Simcity much better. The specialization system, wonder building, and cities of tomorrow systems are fun minigames. Also despite the small plot sizes, I never seem to run out of things to do. If I do manage to get bored with a city I just set off some disasters or break open the prisons. This usually take hours to recover from. Also even after playing for hours there is the very real possibility of bankrupting in simcity. In skylines I somehow always manage to amass a ton of money and have no problems for the rest of the game. Also I personally like the multiplayer. The only real gripe I have with it is that you have to buy all the DLC or you won't be able to access abandoned cities even if the person did not drop any dlc content. I have had a lot of fun remodeling cities that were built by other people and dealing with my neighbors crime problems and what not. The whole game is not without its flaws but overall it has more long term appeal than skylines.
Skylines is the game we all wanted simcity to be which is essentially an upgrade from simcity 4. The game is great but does not do anything too different than the old school simcities. Because of this less experimental approach, the devs were able to focus on the core systems. The simulation runs much better and managing traffic is the key minigame. However I take issue with the fact that services seem a little overpowered and that budgeting never seems to be an issue(EX: it is very easy to overeducate your sims leaving no workers for your oil/lumber industry, One police station tends to knock crime to nothing). I know mods can fix this but I haven't found one that is balanced right.
Bottom line I would really like to see a hybrid of these two games with the best features of each present.

Simcity has fun looking graphics
You Mean City Skylines.
So does CS. If you've ever seen the youtubers who build cities using graphics mods, many of the shots from those youtubers can almost look like real life. (ex: two dollars twenty, he makes amazing CS cities)
@@bro1678 I think O S Raikar means "fun and gamey looking" graphics, not realistic. There's a difference
@@simcitygraphertv6967 Hm, didn't really notice that. Thanks.
@@bro1678 Simcity have many unique building model. CS building look more realistic but seems boring for me
city skyline all the way
I'm so glad Colossal har focused on making the game better with expansions, nighttime, tunnels, tourisme etc. And of course the modding community. But you forgot the (in my eyes) most important part of the game. Transport.
I played SimCity also, it was fun, at times, but sadly there were too long between each fun moment.
CTS has now got everything SC has and more things such as to name roads, buildings, cars, ppl, rename stuff that can be plopped down, etc. Also a day and night cycle, better graphics than ever, and a weather cycle. The streetlights also turn on at night. CTS is so detailed and it's gameplay tops all of the city building games. U can also now name roads
SimCity is very different now... Yes, better graphics but you know, lot’s of good features are removed like building curve roads, roundabouts, etc... And, Cities Skylines has better graphics than SimCity, Cities Skylines has mods that you can download... And the city expansion in SimCity is already very limited... Please do another video about this... The updated one!!!
This has helped heaps, I fancy getting back into this type of gaming.
C:S would still kick open a new arsehole for SimCity
To be honest im not sure if c:s got a better graphic than sc 5 in vanilla since lighting are horribly done in c:s
Cities: Skylines is the most addictive game I've played! Only just got it 5 days ago and already put 45 hours worth of gameplay into it! Got a main city, airport, two smaller cities outside and some suburban towns all connected by rail!
C:S has better modding community in general. Thanks to mods, this game, in my opinion, is the best city builder ever made to this day.
I prefer cities skylines....not just because I am playing it now,btw my game froze 😭also,city skylines has changed soooo much since the video came out
If the game freezes/crashes you probably need more ram
What is he drawing with roads in1:28
Cities skylines: looks ugly, plays better
Sim city: looks amazing, plays worse
looks ugly?? rly? look at series like gramercy (ok thats ugly but its a realistic ugly) or new windsor or seenu or nydal.
What's the mean of that?
I like skyline graphics more tbh sim city looks to cartoony and the lighting is ugly
One game is lead by a company that doesn’t give a shit about its player and the other actually listens and incorporates its community’s ideas and mods.
How ironic, everything he said bad about skylines, has been implemented by the 2018, it can't be compared anymore, even the MUSIC is better in skylines now
Colossal Order dev be like : 'hold my beer young man, this is gonna be a massacre'
Hahaha XD
hahaha XD
well the video uploaded when c:s just comes so what'd you expect?
It's funny how this video aged. I remember there was a huge debate between Simcity and Cities Skylines. Now it's not even debatable: it was the start of a new era
i hate how the buildings look in CS plus their shitty songs, it just doesn't have the charm of simcity.. Damn, Simcity could be perfect if it weren't for the small maps.
+yaykaboom So true. I love the building design for all buildings in SimCity 2013 and the music is just epic. :))

Look at Cities: Skylines, it is exactly 3 years old since it was released, but look, DLC development and the modding community is very alive, compared to SimCity franchise that might be dead by now, I'll want to see an comparison between C:S and SC4 (its modding community is still active though, 14 years since the game was released in 2004).
I appreciate how unbiased you were and only shared your opinion sometimes, and did not act like your opinion was right. I will never play Sim City now that I have found Cities Skylines but I can respect your points about both.
I feel like in city skylines there is no variety at all in buildings and you cant make low wealth, medium wealth or high wealth districts
Parker Jones
That would be unrealistic because I don't think segregation by wealth is a good idea at all.
Parker Jones You can, deprive them of services. There you go.
There is a mod now where you can manually control the levels of the buildings.
There's a great mod that lets you control the density and wealth of your districts that I use. :)
Julian Tabbitt
Hopefully it doesn't affect your city's performance like in SimCity.
I really wish there's a game where the modding capability and the gameplay elements of the Cities Skylines combined with the Sim City 2013's future expansion pack and lively atmospheres(When you clicked any objects in Sim City 2013 like stadium or car, there will be interactive sound effects for it,when you clicked a human being they will say hello to you).
Compare Cities skylines with Simcity 4
now we're talkin.. played sim city 4 religiously for damn near a decade... that said, it had a TON of time for mods to be developed and shit.. vanilla simcity 4 is good, but you really need the mods to see it shine... I miss certain things from sim city 4, but I think cities skylines is taking it's place in my heart slowly but surely.. imagine how it could end up if it sticks around for as long as SC4, the modding community has already done wonders.
if one game could bring all the awesome and unique elements from SC4, tropico 4 and skylines, I don't think I'd ever play anything else, or leave my house for that matter lol...
Yeah, for me, Cities Skylines finally gave us a successor to SC4. Simcity 5 was such a disastrous disappointment, I'm surprised anyone still plays that game. During the two years in between those releases, I thought the genre might be dead. Modded SC4 vs modded CTS would be an interesting comparison. If only I could get SC4 to run.
panner11 yeah shitcity 5 was the same fucking shit it was
_Skylines_ still wins for me. I just played _SimCity 4_ and I saw how crappy their profiting system was. I never even had the chance to *break even* without reducing 90% budget for my services or taxing my citizens way too high and my RCI hits rock bottom. _Skylines_ has a way better system for taxing and profit since I can still earn money over time with the default system without shitting on my services. And that's fucking important because how can I progress with an unrealistically negative income?
What I applaud with SC4 though is their minigames, their higher starting cash and putting your name as their mayor on it. And oh yeah, the city hall is not that hard to get.
I can usually get a $1,000 superavit on hard diffculty without anyone suffering from it. Maybe you're just a bad mayor?
I think that the simulation in SC is far better than in CS. In city skilines, the agents just go to their places at random times. In SC the agents go to work in the morning, they return from work in the evening, they might choose to go out instead of going home. Crimes actually happen, you can see when someone is robbing a store. Although SC is overall a failed game and the simulation system is far from perfect, but it is so much more intresting. I just loved to see real rush hours. In CS its just a constant stream of cars, thats why they have the despawning system enabled by default.
can anyone think of ANYTHING that's better in SimCity than Skylines?

The modular utilities
the end
Cities
Everything else and then some.
+1barnet1 I'm pretty sure there are modular entities in CS too. For example, you can find modular bus- and trainstations in the workshop.
+SHVDW
Come on give simcity credit for that 1 thing they did get right.
1barnet1 sure
+Alica Ljungberg Yes it's way easyer to waste your money on Sim City
This video is a bit old , so I'll point out the biggest differences today - tunnels, huge workshop community, and leisure and tourism commercial specializations. We also now have way better graphics given the steam workshop, and night time is also a thing.
Skyline has tunnels now!!!
The one thing most people don't know is that CS runs on UNITY so stop crapping on it about shitty graphics as it runs on unity!
Fusion yeah but with great music
I don't think it's fair to give it a pass simply because it's on unity haha
Yeah, it is NOT GRAPHICS HEAVY like SimCity 2013, but instead it is heavy on CPU AND RAM USAGE, so it should have been mentioned there.
Fact: A 4-year old GPU uses only 28% power when all settings are maxed out, unlike SimCity which requires an high-end GPU like the GTX 1080 to run at smooth 60fps.
I still want to look at something nice unity or not is no excuse
@@KevinKochatt If you've ever seen the youtubers who build cities using graphics mods, your opinion will really change. Many of the shots from those youtubers can almost look like real life. (ex: two dollars twenty, he makes amazing CS cities)
Also, now Cities Skylines have specialization zones as well. PLEASE PLEAAASE update this comparison!
7 years on it's wierd to see that cities skyines has adressed the majority of the problems you had with it..
you can build tunnels in cities skylines use the page down button on the keyboard
Cities Skylines going wildin' beyond expectation sir as the time goes on after 2015's release of After Dark DLC, and they're going to release a waited Sequel in 2023, while we never heard of upcoming announced next Simcity games after Simcity 5 (2013) last release.
Cities skylines is annoying though and over complicated
1:26 wow wonderful art
1:28 How did not youtube age-restrict this???
cities skylines= now epic disasters
Who cares
Mr'Koalas Everyone or we wouldnt have disasters stupid.
@@TommyTom21 *COUGH' simcity has disasters
@@patrickcarlmacario932 Thanks sherlock its not like anybody knew that.
The "Watch the Update Version" annotation leads to a video which is unavailable.
Skylines is under constant development from release on and has thus changed, but many already said this.
Additionally, there's a plethora of community content, accessible freely through the steam platform.
1:28 wtf
I have both, if you find yourself easily overwhelmed start with Simcity and if it gets boring move on. Skylines can be complex, and quite frankly confusing when new to the genre like I was. Thankfully I snagged both with Origin access, now to just get a new battery since my laptops keeled over a week after the fact lol
City skylines is the top 1 building games city skylines wins
ERR MAH GERRRD
the limitations about the size of the city in simcity were the absolutely most offensive thing a software company did in history to the followers of a franchise, we waited more then 10 years to have a successor of simcity 4 where we built regions, nations, WORLDS... and they gave us this game made of small plots. "but hey you can play multiplayer" in a city building game? were we playing the same game? fortunately CO noticed the mess and did what the owners of the franchise totally missed. oh not to mention there was no offline mode in SC at the start, we fought for months before they acepted to do an off line mode. well, they protected themselves from piracy and lost some billion dollars in sales, choices. oh, i told you i paid it 80 euros cuz there was inside the plopable of maxis man?
