SimCity Societies - Authoritarian Nightmare

[Wafflepudding]

REVOLUTION: Is what's for dinner!

[godkingRoss]

Oh.... when i saw the title i thought somebody had made a civ version of London.

[AlexeyVoronin]

It's George Orwell's 1984

[ieatflood]

Orwell would roll in his grave.

[JMBQ123]

Pure Comunism this city [eewww]

[DustofDryBones]

Ironically, I find that an Authoritarian city's biggest problem is having too much crime. Counter-intuitive much?

[Jcolinsol]

@DustofDryBones

No, makes perfect sense to me.

Same reason why Anarchists tend to by the most law-abiding people I know.

[Beandude202]

This is a track from SC3000, isn't it?

[YesIamEccentric]

Everyone seems to hate this game, I love it, the soundtrack is also amasing!

[aidan752]

1984

[Maxis4President]

i really like this theme of city

[koffiewolf]

this game suck monkey nuts

[14koder]

UMADBRO

[WhyDidIJustEatThat]

City 17?

[Lighthouse418]

come on sim city societies wasnt THAT BAD!

[wach9191]

Looks like awesome game.

[eyeofsauron1000]

Just seeing that MAKES ME WANT THIS GAME SO FUCKING BAD

[Maydomedia]

In Soviet Russia this Everyday.

[MechaTailsMK2]

Reminds me of either the Soviets or City 17

[BVargas78]

@MechaTailsMK2 the city here looks much nicer!

[MrJoeyWheeler]

I think if we could combine the play style of Simcity 4 and the society-controlling aspect of Societies, we could get the best simcity game ever; not only could we have all the awesome stuff as before, but we could also make authoritarian cities as well and deal with others. One of the things Societies also lacks is tha ability to CONTROL disasters...

[eminem2001313]

i have a question

where is the highways?

WHERE IS THE WATER SUPPLY ?

WHERE IS EVERYTHING ?

WE WANT SIMCITY

NO TO Tilted Mill EntertainmenT

YES TO MAXIS!!

WHO IS WITH ME!!

[300STEFAN]

I have an authoritarian city too

[nabeelmerchant]

With totalitarian comes citizins with no talent in what so ever area of knowledge.

[missedthelikebutton]

@nabeelmerchant

No, they are trained from birth to be experts, USSR had best athletes and Cosmonauts.

[nabeelmerchant]

@missedthelikebutton The Academics were from private aristoratic families. But the anthletes were not, athletes were bred with propaganda.

[Maydomedia]

Also called..... Russia.

[ras464]

@Maydomedia

LOL

[licota11]

@Maydomedia lol...

[zilbiol]

this isn't sim city 5, it's sim city societies...

[TheSwedishDude1000]

Your game sucked, as most of the games you develop and/or publish. How bout you think about the peoples opinions and not ONLY PROFIT?

[zulu789456]

"A city about power and control, with Big Brother watching"  that sounds familiar....

[simcity4rocks]

China...

[Winnman05]

How DARE you use Simcity music for this garbage!

[Bobassa0903]

that...looked disturbingly like pictures i've seen of north korea... 0:25...Don't they have that same thing?

[TechnologicsCo]

the simcity societies trailer is using simcity 3000 music?

how odd

[19jesse97]

how can you change the streets?

[TheOriginalClip]

I LOVE SIM CITY!!

[TheOriginalClip]

Wow EA Have Many Video :D Maybe For Advert...

[Rika13desu]

i feel so sad when i hear that music with that authoritarian city,that people actually like communism, the people who like that only care about themselves ..T^T, to think you would live in North Korea , gives me the chills.The normal people who live in communism are not really free,poor and unhappy.

Btw if people think this comment is stupid : It's just my opinion,this is what i wanted to say

[RioGiovanni]

@Rika13desu the hipsters who wear communist badges on their rucksacks and think communism's cool because 'it's all about equality' don't know what practical communism is.

[Rika13desu]

@RioGiovanni I totally agree with you.

[RobertNestaTravaglio]

in soviet russia you don't build cities, cities build you!

[icommentalots]

@RobertNestaTravaglio ba dum tsss!

[yousuck785why]

the game is OK

[Appleisgreedy]

@Beg2Live4Life

Nazi.

[shoter123546564]

I hate comunism :P but that comunism is near see people act like zombie morning work then play pc or stare to stare to TV here's that authoritan Nightmare i know cuz people even without Dictature could slaves to themselves

[Nicolai0Nerland]

@shoter123546564 - _ - I wish people would stop associate communism with Stalinism/Maoism what ever. What you see in North-Korea, or the other failed states, has nothing to do with communism at all, and are actually capitalistic states if you do a bit research :P

[jonathanbain14]

@Nicolai0Nerland state capitalism sucks. North Korea and the USSR didn't even say they were communist, they actually claimed to be socialist, which is technically correct. But these dipshits will never understand this as they cant research something for themselves.

[Nicolai0Nerland]

@jonathanbain14 that's propaganda for you~

What happens, when the media world follows each other right up to neo-liberal big-brother

[DIANAROSS4EVER]

That looks so communist lol

[SoviMusic]

@DIANAROSS4EVER (eyes rolls)

[QuarterStarStudios]

i have 2000, 3000, simcity4 deluxe edition and sim city societies destonations, and i think that all before societies are serious, like as a serious simulator, and societies is more for fun.

[NJBfanatic]

I'm gonna get this even though I'm soooooooo late but all these negative comments suck, smh. Whatever, SimCity 3000 is my favorite.

[davedavedaveannoy1]

I love authoritarian, its great. Its like a futuristic mesh of the look of former Fascist Germany with a totalitarian rule of the Former Soviet Socialist Republics. Its like a controlable 1984 with some elements of Brave New World mixed in. Its way better then Sim City and its offspring because you get themes, actions, and interactable buildings that not only look cool and are cool, but you can augment them as you please. Anyone who hates this is a mere pestimistic smuck not worth my time.

[latteanka]

SC Societies is a really cool game but it can't beat the odler ones. Those are just pure awesomeness.

[Klibbnisse]

So after 7 years of playing I lost my Sim City 4 disc, funny thing is when I go to the store I see that Sim City Societies is cheaper than Sim City 4 Deluxe! Proof that pure simulation is more awesome than crappy "get new players who are not yet familiar with the franchise" ideas.

Give us a Sim City 5 that is more advanced, more complex and with more buildings and items and more settings, more happenings and... well, more of everything!

Not some crappy "pretend to be creative"!

[KOSUB11]

@Klibbnisse Just get the NAM mod for Sim City 4. It adds tons of stuff to the transit side of the city. I agree though, we need a Sim City 5.

[Beg2Live4Life]

i want to build concentration camps and put jews in it

[kahetel13]

@Beg2Live4Life rofl,,,,

[Jh5kRadio]

Pyongyang several years from now.

[ChipsALaChocolat]

Why do all of the authoritarian cities look so polluted? I

[Indestructible229]

yeah! this game sucks! i've have Sim City 4 for 7 years, and i still play it! fun as hell!

[ldesorden]

i really enjoy the themes, specially this one. But, there's nothing to it...the game gets boring after a short time.

[TheNp42]

Sim City Societies blowed.

Sim City 4 is the best!

[AcHeinrichdc]

destinations is better

[ianobrien2009]

looks like berlin during the 1940's lol!

[Annique]

I don't think the authoritarian style of playing is supposed to reflect real communism, but more of a 1984/Soviet Russia atmosphere.

[onsholo]

@Annique yeah communist contry are the second type of gorvement whit more fredom the only gorvement that have more fredom is the anarchist

[pedrotime]

this game sucked so much that I had to destroy the CD!

[Jyiannaros]

EA is such a franchise ruining machine.

Now look what they did to Red Alert 3.

Goddamn EA, stick to your own titles and games instead of fucking up the good ones.

[onsholo]

@Jyiannaros red alert 3 is pretty cool i liked it better than the other ones but you right sim city societis sucks city life is a lot better

[foleykevin297]

how do you get the roads to change

[javife17]

just keep building the society's building (authoritarian, romantic...), and they will appear

[ultraray20]

simcity societies sucks EAS RUINED EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!

SIMCITY4 is the best!!

[MrFreik]

Best society filter EVAR.

[kingofarsenal11]

Lol

"The possiblities are endless"

you're having a laugh EA horrid game.

[Spin6699]

this is what new york will look like if im elected mayor! (insert evil laugh here)

[punksoab]

@Spin6699 Really :P I'll definitely vote for you ^.^ Better than fucking Bloomberg x.x

[Digger843ASXM]

Thats Russia

[QuingleyJpaang95]

Maxis come back and make Smcity ON YOUR OWN. ea stick with need for speed and sports.

[Ndragonawa]

Stupid EA, who said this was a nightmare? That city looks awesome!

Too bad looks can be deceiving... =(

[jpaang95]

also love the part with the dictators: NORTH KOREA

[jpaang95]

that song is infrastructure from simcity 3000, i got simcity 3000 in 1999, i was 4 when i got 3000, It was the greatest game i ever played, i STILL play it after 10 years, this isnt the best of simcity due to the Maxis/EA conflicts, it is a great game though

1. simcity 3000

2. Simcity 4

3. Simcity societies (still good

[Colicess27]

simcity 3000 music. brings back a lot of memories

[yaykaboom]

this game is so lame i got it for free

[ZionistCensorship]

a game coming out in November or October called cities XL is SOO MUCH FUCKING better than simcity 4000 and sim societies(epic fail of a game) check it out on youtube,...ITS WHAT SIMCITY 5000 SHOULD HAVE BEEN!

[NotoriousPimp24]

Seriously, that game looks like the bomb sauce.

[AmazingSims2Houses]

every1 knows already

[fiesta471]

SimCity 4 has killed Cities XL's ass.

Cities XL will only kill SimCity Societies ass.

[kotowate]

City Life just as Cities XL has so simplistic approach to economy that it just... well, hurts. You really don't have to think much about it, just place workplace and couple of buildings where people could live and that's it. After some time you have so much money that you just build city without any problems (occasional riots just interrupt fun/boredom (sic))

[micprn]

no simcity 4 pwns xl

[feng277394]

mwuahahhahaahahahahhahahahahha­haha i built a version of north korea with this game and everyone hated the place and burned down the town hall and the police stations and the secret service headquarters.... gawd... no wonder..

[sootheater]

you can't sick the army on them and drag their kids off to the concentration camp?

[micprn]

aww man that would be AWSM

[dockwellian45]

That's a SimCity 3000 song there!

[ytWatchhound]

sim city 4 is my favorite city builder.

not this.

[shawn2007g]

The classic is best, the reason I am getting the demo is because of the spec. sims like zombie.

[HitmanRioluOwnsYou]

The possibilities disgrace all the games that ever existed.

[neosfire]

dear god its Korea were building Korea's and Russia no (bullet in head)

[micprn]

Russia is not that bad(food ate their leader)

but north korea is fucked up

[HardingBMG]

1984.. Lol

[neosfire]

omg its russia

[micprn]

NOT RUSSIA NORTH KOREA

russia lost their comunisim =(

[Sgwk372]

Russia

[micprn]

north korea russia is nice

[Sandberg95]

Nightmare?;s

Because it`s communers running the city, it dosent mean to be a nightmare;s

[Ramsez]

i was gonna say the exact same thing. it's just republican propaganda

[Sandberg95]

Happy to hear: )

[Hamsterloki]

I like the look of that city.

[RoCoquiRo]

Freaking beastly city.

[VACASIONESSS]

I want to play this game, but I cannot install ,when I install says: unhandled exception:unable to find a valid device

Tipe:class tmill::common e source\engine\dxdevice cpp

Function:tmill::engine::get best device ID

line: 599

[IggyHazard]

Insert Kelly Bailey's 'Combine Theme'. {:-O

[nookkiller]

this is the bigest wast of money the game sucks!!!!

[vader1941]

It dosen'[t just suck anything; it sucks donkey balls!

[Ramsez]

juup

[Edomaestro09]

"Big Brother is watching you, even if you are in your car picking your nose or in your bathroom constipated" xD

[iLiekMesos]

I never knew you could create North Korea in that game.

[Idude893]

Even North Korea has ways of leasure.

[RamanWalkthrough]

I dont get it? I love simcity societies. But then again. Simctiy Rush Hour was never released for download in North Korea. So I never got it.

[NotoriousPimp24]

Torrents are your friend.

[Daswede92]

unfortunately for me they arent :(

[yooochoob]

Cities XL is better.

[dmblove41]

its ok

[mrcthgrt]

The graphics are good. But the gameplay and the concept of being the "god" or mayor of the city is gone. I hope the new SimCity will be even better and will be like SimCity 4

[monkee300]

yeaH i still think Sim city 4 is the best out so far!

[shoter123546564]

@monkee300 in something yes but in something no .

[ras464]

@monkee300

Thank you kindly for not bashing this game. And yes simcity 4 was the best :)

[maglight117]

@monkee300 That and 3000.

[aramt22]

The game looks good and works well. The trouble is that the fun is all gone. Simcity games have not been fun since Simcity 3000. Sad, I really want to like these games.

[ebonyil22]

If you dislike the game then why are you commenting on the videos?

[911bun]

So he can let us know it's a shit game?

[bookworm3509]

you have to show which type of society your building

[trinitronred]

Hitler was "power crazy" even long before he gained any power, look up the "Beer Hall Putsch".

You have it backwards my freind. Power crazy people become dictators, not dictators becaome power crazy.

The people who refuse power are always the ones who would be fair kings.

"A committee of one gets things done."

[cookiesya]

if they have cctv cameras that would be scary!

[bb120308]

I might get this game. Idk i still have simcity 4 and that is still fun. hmmm...

[GavinVox68]

Don't. It's the worst game EVER.

[bb120308]

Wow i'm seeing alot of negative feedback about this game is it really that bad?

[GavinVox68]

Yeah, it is.

[jhgilliatt]

no. But try the demo

[bb120308]

where can i get the demo of this game can i download it online or something?

[DutchCop]

I (and probably all real SC fans) find this the worst SimCity to date. It's just too easy. Tilted Mill screwed too much with the original SC gameplay and removed virtually all micromanagement and other typical SC features.

Maxis should have finished Spore first and then started on a REAL and worthy SimCity 5.

[bb120308]

Did Will Wright( the creator of this series) work help or make this game?

[DutchCop]

Nope, he and the whole Maxis-team were too busy with Spore.

[aosfive]

yeah and Spore failed aswell. at least in my eyes.

[DutchCop]

Yup, I agree.

Of all phases (Tide Pool, Creature, Tribal, Civilization, Space), the Space phase was most exciting. The others were actually pretty boring, IMO.

[WeeDeus]

So shooting a few diseased monsters, collecting some piece of junk for someone, or chasing annoying pirates who constanly flying away and heal themselves is exciting? I thougt in the space phase i will build an galactic empire, but instead I'm delivering desperately needed extra stong condoms with banana flavour to another end of the galaxy in an annoying time limit with my ship. With the ONLY ship my "glorious" civilisation is capable to build! IMHO it's boring like hell.

[emmthreejonny]

Pretty cool.

[ukiki2012]

Wow, that's creepy...

[Terring7]

Very scary, i don't want to live in this kind of city!

[2600htz]

Nor I, I hear the authoritarian playing style was themed after 1984.

[Sparta0wn]

Help me please, when i start playing.. the first 5 minuts are ok, but then the whole map turns into water! overall water... help me please!!!

[gheddo93]

i got the same problem with this game i delete it

[romanoverlord2]

or two 8800 GTX s

even better :)

like i do :P

[EATshitanddrinkbleac]

Only reason I got the game

SO I COULD STRIKE FEAR INTO DIGITAL PEOPLE.

[jambokam]

I have this game and i Loved it DON'T UPDATE TO MUCH my game don't work >:(

i updated the game 6 times and bam!!!

[rileyy94]

to Ro55HP since my reply button doesent work:

that was meant to be a reply to the guy who said "socialism is not evil!"

[Johni22]

What is wrong with my reply button?

[ToryBelechied]

dunno

[trinitronred]

i have this and it is an awsome game!

i always build authoritarian cities

[BASilAndSAPhronyummy]

I'm not think EA would make a game that would cause emotions to any place or any thing, but in this game it does which is what makes it more mature and complex. They have try to blend the look of many cities that were under strict rules in the past and therefore could n't not point any directions at specific cities or areas.

[Makkelisch]

My God, was that Germany when Hitler was controlling it all or is it today's Korea with a dictator?

[EATshitanddrinkbleac]

Kermia with Ado Hit Li as dictator

[simsroyce1990]

This game looks so much fun! I just bought it but it wont work if you have a nvidia geforce 6200 :-( I WANT TO PLAY THIS SO BAD!

[Struckar6467544]

EA sucks bigtime why the hell did you do a copy of citylife?? simcity4 is so much better than this...

[098889j]

serijos its maskow
