12 hours.

 

[AyaisMUsikWhore]

Has it unlocked for anyone in the US? I am so perched to play this game right now.

No, don't think so. I'll post here when GreenManGaming puts their keys up.

It's not going to unlock until another 12 hours.

 

[RP912]

I need this game man...12 hours seems like forever.

 

[bjaelke]

I'll post here when GreenManGaming puts their keys up.

Should be any moment now. DLGamer already released their keys.

 

[Effect]

Any reviews released yet?

 

[Delio]

Should be any moment now. DLGamer already released their keys.

But the countdown says 12 hours.

 

[Tabris]

Sorry I asked about this in another thread. Any feedback from streamers or you tubers on this running on a Mac?

 

[CrispyGoomba]

Thought I would be able to download it around midnight tonight. Nope...that's unfortunate

 

[Pandemic]

Should be any moment now. DLGamer already released their keys.

What?! I should've purchased from them.

 

[AyaisMUsikWhore]

No, don't think so. I'll post here when GreenManGaming puts their keys up.

Well this is very disappointing and irritating

 

[bjaelke]

Well it's not doing much in my Steam inventory since there's no pre-load for the game.

 

[Mad Season]

Nuuvem -~18$USD

Ok i got from GMG, thanks! when do we get the key from them?

 

[Pau]

I guess it's for the best that this didn't become available at midnight. Otherwise I would have stayed up the whole night.

 

[The Real Abed]

Me too. I wanted to. I don't have to work until 4PM. But at least I'm off on Wednesday so at exactly 10:15 tomorrow night I will be playing this straight through the next day.

 

[Mr Swine]

When this gets unlocked I will be able to play the game for 4 hours which is more than enough for me!

 

[cheezcake]

Watched a twitch stream of this game yesterday, looked pretty cool. But what exactly is setting this apart from other city building game? Seems to have a lot of hype.

me toooooo.

good to see some recognizable faces around this topic

so excited to get back from school tomorrow and play!

The only decent one in the last few years has been Banished which is a bit more survival focused than the traditional city builder (not to mention bare-bones, what with being a one-man operation)

From what I've gathered, it's both ambitious and polished. That's the main draw. Ever since Sim City 4 (post patches/expansion) there hasn't been another good traditional city builder, they've either been simplified and cut down to the point of boredom (SC13) or have been unpolished janky small budget games (CitiesXL, Cities in Motion). After 12 years people want something new.

 

[bjaelke]

Cities in Motion is a traffic simulator, not a city builder.

 

[Baron Doggystyle von Woof]

Dutch people: I got it for €21,99 from DLgamer.nl and I already got a (working) key so it's safe and cheap.

I wouldn't call the CiM games city builders, nor should they be grouped with something like the XL franchise.

And I was really hoping it was Transport Tycoon

Right, I never played it so I had the wrong idea, I just heard a bunch of people moaning about bugs and poor design choices when it launched.

 

[fedexpeon]

Sigh...10hrs?
Even though it is 3/10?

 

[anonymous_abc]

And I was looking forward to playing this afternoon after work. :/

Awesome dude! I was waiting for a deal, but this sealed it!

 

[subrock]

+1 bummed out that it's not a midnight release. Oh well.

 

[Kvik]

Chave ainda não gerada, pode estar havendo um atraso da produtora.

Welp, seems like chances to play tonight is a little slim.

(I think it says something along the lines of "Keys are unavailable due to some production issues")

 

[1cmanny1]

Same. They should have at least waited to have this prolonged release over a weekend.

 

[spiritfox]

What bugs or poor design choices? CiM was a good game that did what it set out to do.

Speaking of Cities in Motion, I just realized that I have it in my Steam library. Should I play it first ti get a feel of traffic?

The first or second one? Only the second game allowed you to build roads in game. It's a pretty complex management sim, so you might not like it if you're playing it for real. But if you're just messing around it's fun to just build stuff and see the buses run around.

We're not getting CS any time soon, so why not?

From what i gather, this game releases simultaneously all around the world, not unlike others where you can VPN it faster ?

Screw the rest of the world. EST supremacy.

Yeah, something about keys not generated may be a production issue. I think there was a comment by someone earlier saying Nuveem stated no keys for 15+ hours, which would put the key release an hour or two before launch.

 

[Baron Doggystyle von Woof]

Fuck yeah 18:00! Around the time I will arrive from work.

It's the second one.
