Awesome and thanks for that. I have held off grabbing this. It seems like there is a chance they shot for those great visuals and aesthetic over shooting for the large sprawling metropolis you could make in the past. Do you think they gimp the city size due to resource management and the capabilities of most pc's? Are they shooting too high or too low? I am curious if you have ever checked to see how intensive the game is on your rig by logging or watching meters showing cpu/gpu/memory load? I can see them gimping th system if the game cannot viably run well (even with lower graphics settings) once it grows too big. I saw that as an issue with the engine for Sims 3. Granted it is a different engine, but... The programming team seems to be leaning towards visuals more then gameplay/optimisation nowadays (especially seeing some of what they're doing with sims 4). Thoughts?
