new sim city games turn into stupid traffic and agent management poo poo. let us build a big city with our names made out of parks in it and then let us zoom in and be a little GTA mario odyssey guy and wa ya wahoo around

Yeah, I think I'm pretty much done with 1-for-1 agent-based city sims at this point. It's holding the genre back until someone figures out a better way for the core concept to scale.

Anno is not a SimCity game because it is an Anno game. You are perhaps confused about genres vs franchises?
no idea what you're trying to say here but simcity societies has, virtually zero mechanical overlap with any other simcity

This was the thing with Giant Bomb and the ads they ran on the Bombcast, those ads were very explicitly never videogame related. I believe both Nextlander and Jeff Gerstmann have continued that practice with their Patreon podcasts.

Sim City Societies is a Sim City game because it is under that franchise's umbrella. It shares DNA even if some mechanics are different. Anno games are kind of in a similar genre to Sim City games, but they are not Sim City games, they are in a different franchise. I was talking about "what's the worst Sim City game". You are talking about mechanics which is mostly a genre thing. Just to clarify. :shobon:

I want a city builder where the ultimate goal isn't to make a shining utopia or unlock things like space centers or whatever

Just let the city be a real mediocre turd. Let me make Cleveland.
