SimCity 2013 Is A Perfectly Balanced Game With No Exploits - The Worst Profitable City Is Broken

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!

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.

@justanotheryoutubechannel Жыл бұрын

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.

Even cities skylines doesn’t have much futuristic stuff, let alone make and customize mega towers and build fusion power plants the way sim cities did! …at least not that I know of?

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. I started playing a game called Parkitect that I really love. Like rollercoaster tycoon but better.

Spiffy, you and I almost think alike. I gave this game a go a few months back and did okay but constantly struggling with crimes and fires......In frustration, I made a new city where there were no police, firefighters, no mega buildings, just industrial places, some shops and houses, almost nothing else and for some reason, almost no one complained, there were hardly any crime or fires, money was rolling in and I could both purchase trade from other cities as well as loan money to those cities because nothing ever went wrong. That was until I started trying to be fancy with a mega-tower, then things went wrong FAST, so naturally, I blew it up and vowed never to construct something that only coffee drinkers would ever made XD But seriously, we had a very similar game here and it's a funny coincidence, or maybe the game is broken and we should be happy about it lol

After having played Cities: Skylines for a while - when my flatmate bought two cheap copies of Sim City 2013 and we played a little bit of multiplayer (curse you Origin downloader!) - I almost got a claustrophobic feeling. It feels so limiting and crammed (and yet at the same time sooo empty) and boring and shit. Not even worth it at a considerable discount. I wouldn't even play it, if it was offered to me for free. The ONLY upside was to be able to zoom in more and the more details at that zoom level. The downside: You can't really zoom out. Which is for the better because there are only 50 houses or so in the whole city grid. Oh, AND DON'T START ME UP on the hilariously bad and depressing region concept...

This dystopian city consisted of miles of traffic with people trying to get to their job in a dense smog filled city. Eventually a ton of the workers were getting sick, so I put in a single hospital. However no one had personal cars so there was just a long line of people tracking across the city on foot while sick trying to get to the only hospital where they’ll have to wait outside for days. My budget was also insane. Something like -$500K an hour, meanwhile making a few million an hour. It was incredible

On an amusing note, here in Australia, Starbucks struggled to get any traction due to an already massive coffee culture that meant local cafes were already deeply entrenched. Also perhaps one of my favourite achievements of South Australia (as a mostly South Australian that drinks excessive amounts of FUIC): In 2003, Australians consumed in excess of 22 million litres, making it Australia's best selling flavoured milk drink/milk shake at that time. The drink's popularity has more recently been reflected by some McDonald's, KFC and Hungry Jack's restaurants beginning to sell it as a part of their menus across the country. In 2008, Farmers Union Iced Coffee outsold Coca-Cola in South Australia at a rate of almost 3:1, with South Australians consuming 36 million litres, making it the only place in the world where a milk drink outsells a cola product, and one of the few places where Coca-Cola is not the most popular locally consumed bottled beverage, a feat shared by Inca Kola in Peru and Irn-Bru in Scotland and various drinks in nearly every Asian country.
