I'm disappointed to hear that SimCity pretty much requires co-op play.

The best part of God games is being God. If I'm God, don't make me share power to get things done.

i need a demo to be sure my PC can run it first -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Mar 4, 12:18
I think you can solo it, you'd just have to control all cities in the region instead of just 1 -- nm - SG3 Mar 4, 12:17
It seems like a fatal flaw to turn what has been a solo-play experience into the opposite. Elder Scrolls Online might get away with it. - Qale Mar 4, 12:16 6
- I think some games need to be social (WoW), some need to be solo (SimCity, Civ) and some can be either. - TWuG Mar 4, 12:19 5
  - Civ has had social capability since 2. -- nm - loosilu Mar 4, 12:23 4
    - Yes, but you've been able to completely ignore that aspect of the game. I'd bet most Civ players avoided it. -- nm - TWuG Mar 4, 12:27
    - it's always been a bit of a challenge though. - znufrii Mar 4, 12:26 2
      - yeah, took forever, and I swear growth and science were much slower. -- nm - loosilu Mar 4, 12:33
      - and at least one version (3 or 4) didn't ship with multi-player, they only added it back in in an expansion pack. -- nm - znufrii Mar 4, 12:29
there is an offline mode. -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 4, 12:14 4
- There is a way for you to control all cities in a region, but there is no "offline mode" -- nm - Qale Mar 4, 12:17
- also, it would be nice if we could have an st region. -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 4, 12:15 2
  - oooh, that could be fun... -- nm - znufrii Mar 4, 12:22
  - I'm in for that... although I'm not sure how it handles players not being around - SG3 Mar 4, 12:20
