Tristan1427 Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 I’ve been thinking about buying this game but not too sure if I should buy the PS4 copy with all the DLC’s included with it because it’s dirty cheap at the moment or should I just buy the PS5 remastered version instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nik_west Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 The game with all DLCs included is NOT dirty cheap! If you're talking about the Ultimate Content Bundle, then be aware, that it only includes everything released until 2020, when the bundle came out. That means from Snowfall to Sunset Harbor, plus a few Content Creator Packs and Radio Stations. Everything else is extra. Is it worth it? When the stuff is on sale, then absolutely. The game is a fun city builder. It doesn't matter which version you'll get. The Remastered version is always behind with updates: The Hotels & Retreats DLC will come by the end of summer. And more map tiles is just an option, if you'll activate it, it deactivates trophies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaserPL Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Keep in mind though, that you will be probably done with everything in about 80 hours, and then will have to babysit the game semi-idle for potentially hundreds of hours, so think really hard before you hop in for 100%.

tonkie18 Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 @HaserPL I have this game but I haven’t started it yet. I used to love Sim City and thought it would be like that. I probably don’t have the version with all the DLC’s and did I read somewhere the servers are closing or something happening with it soon? Not sure whether to start it.. don’t want to miss out on a good city builder ??♀️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babysitting the console alone for What The? Trophy can possibly take anywhere from a few to a few hundred hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonkie18 Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 I was wondering if it was expensive? Console running isn’t a problem. I usually play my PS4/PS3 if I have something running on PS5. How much babysitting? Can I just check every 15 mins or so or does it have to be constant? Had one game running for 600 hours is it longer than that? That got tedious in the end. I’ll read up about it more before I decide. I just thought it was going to be unobtainable soon but can’t remember where I read that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrBloodmoney Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 It’s great. Easily the best City Builder I’ve played - and that includes the Maxis games. It’s a little convoluted trying to get all the dlc now (there’s like 8 years worth of content there, so can seem expensive as a single game, but less so when you consider how much work the whole package encompasses)… …but it’s worth it. Also, every purchase of the game or the dlc for PS4 gives you the same thing for the PS5 version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have I dreamt up a server closure for this game? ? or is it unobtainable soon for another reason? I remember thinking I better start that soon if I wanted to finish it.. That’s great to know because I’ve really enjoyed all the Maxis games I’ve played. Was hooked on them as a kid and didn’t think anything would beat sim city! Will have to try it out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonkie18 Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Ah I’m always behind the times with games playing them years sometimes decades after release ? the only good thing is there’s a lot of detailed guides by the time I get to them. I’ll most likely play the first one first it makes me feel funny playing things out of order. Having nostalgia remembering Sim Citys power plants powering my city.. seeing the water rush round the map from the water place and the thrill I got setting stuff on fire ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyGallethX3 Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 I wouldnt say its dirty cheap, but I was gonna buy the Mayors edition which is on sale atm, but its priced $20. I should had bought it 2yrs ago when it was $15 though. Maybe I will just wait till this holiday and see the price, so confusing what I need to buy, cant they just come out with a complete ultimate final edition. haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aodir Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 If you like city builders it's worth it, if not then skip. May as well plan ahead and buy everything you need on sale. Only caveat is having to leave your console AFK for the Chirpnado to spawn, which can be the very first disaster you encounter or it can take dozens of hours.. long live RNG. It's 100% AFKable though so not really an issue. Plays way better on PC with mods and such, so if you're not tired by the time you finish the trophy list I'd recommend moving your gameplay there. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KondeBra Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 I would say it's a must have if you enjoy city builders/simulator games. BUT I would wait for CS2, coming in october. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should cut down the number of hours required for it by a good 100 or so Edited June 18, 2023 by DrBloodmoney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkrequiem7 Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Last I knew buying anything for the PS4 version of this game should unlock the PS5 version of it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
