simcity questions
SaraMK:
What confuses me is that there isn't really a good replacement for SC4 out there. Where did all those people who like city building go? We had the god-awful Sim City Societies, which we know failed very hard, and we had the god-awful City Life, which I haven't bothered to check on lately but assume also failed very hard... so what did the rats abandon the SC4 ship for? It may have been derelict, but there was nothing else in the water to cling to.

Since SimCity: Societies was a glaring disappointment, a lot of SimCity 4 players have been hanging their hopes on Cities XL, a game currently in development by Monte Cristo, the same company who produced City Life.

Oh, yes. I can see how this makes sense. Pin all your hopes on Monte Cristo, in case their third stab at the genre is miraculously less fail than their previous attempts. Come to think of it, has Monte Cristo produced any game that wasn't wtf and stupid and lose and utter fail, EVER? Their list of games reads like a bad joke.
Zazazu:
Civilization, perhaps? Though that series is getting pretty aged, I thought a lot of SC4 fans were into it. Not sure. I only got SC4 because I saw it for cheap and I knew my laptop would run it. I didn't realize it would take the laptop three minutes to go through a day on double-speed in a large city, though. I got back into it for a month or so when FT came out and I was having issues with a particularly sneaky hack problem.
SaraMK:
I have SC4 installed, but I suck so much at it that every time I have attempted to play the result has been me rolling around on the floor in a fit while the city burns under an acrid cloud of pollution, the screen turns red with traffic jams, and my advisers have heart attacks. Even more amusingly, every few weeks it will suddenly hit me what the solution is, and I will go back into the game to start a new city with a most sincere expectation that this time all will work out. Rinse and repeat.
