Similar here. My town is progressing nicely. Definitely need to play it with improved graphics and without the lag.

I just edited in what I'm playing it set to. It's not really pushing this computer much at the moment... kinda weird looking game in a way, the depth of field filter they've got on there to make it look like a toy looks quite odd at certain zoom levels and distances.

Is that the tilt-shift setting?

Playing it with a mouse rather than touchpad will make it much better to play.

Titl-shift, that's the bugger. I haven't tried looking to see if I can alter it. And yes, I can't imagine not using a mouse for this. Get it done!

So tempted but just purchased Day-z, Diablo 3 and Arma3 in a sales frenzy.

But £12.99? I must do it.

I bought it yesterday. It's rather good actually! Sort of like SimCity without any of the anti-customer shit that came with the last version. Heck, it even lets you skip the intro video :)

And seriously, it's a fun game too. I especially like that it's ditched the SimCity tradition of charging for zoning land.

It downloading as I type.

Another game to add to the list of games to play (it's getting longer and longer)

I did promise that I was going to at least finish some of the games I got from different sales but that went out of the window this weekend.

FFS, I haven't even finished DeusEx - Human Resources yet :-@

But I'm going to buy this, simply because I played SimCity a few months ago and it crashed a few hours into a decent city and I got so peeved that I refused to play it again. No, of course I hadn't saved it.

edit: next thing you're all going to tell me is that Half Life 3 is due for release. F**k!

Not Half Life 3, but how does a new Deux Ex grab you?

Yeah I know, saw that too... it's really not a good time for me to buy more games, I've got far too much studying to do (for certs)  :'-( 

Just to note, I have lost a chunk of gameplay with this because it crashed and I lost about 90 minutes of gameplay.

On the plus side, there's a mod you can get from Steam Workshop that forces it to auto-save every 5 or 10 minutes. I advise using it!

Oooh! Sounds good! I really enjoyed Human Revolution - even more once they provided that patch to tweak the boss fights a bit. Let's hope this one is as good.

Thanks, useful!
I've already wasted about 5-6 hours on it, so easy to lose track of time...
