Until after I've played it myself.

I've seen the first 3 Milestones, I don't want to spoil myself, I want to be surprised when I get my copy and discover things for myself.

I'll go back and revisit later on down the track

Me too and I'm going away for the whole weekend, so the timing of the release will work out perfectly for me. I'm just relieved the game does appear to be all in order and not a total dud like some others we could mention! :)

There does appear to be some questions, how serious they are remain to be seen, but there are very few games that didn't need changes after launch once players got there hands on it and tried things out.

Certainly nothing serious enough to put me off getting it.

I haven't even watched quills stream, although that's mainly because I found myself getting angry at his road layout from the beginning and that reminded me why I don't watch let's plays.

You all are not missing anything, I suspect that the majority of these people have never played a city simulator before, not even quill18. There are only two or three of them that have. They have all obviously received or were promised donations to display the game to boost pre-order sales. most of these players would not play this game on their own, most of them are strategy gamers, not simulator gamers. This game is way outside of their scope. This is all about money for Paradox and all about getting new viewers for the Youtubers, everyone is making out like a bandit except for us, the players who actually enjoy and love city simulators. I guess I/we should not be surprised, when it comes right down to it ALL publishers are exactly the same. They do not care how low they have to go to get it, they will delve as far as they can to get that money.

I usually like Quill but I agree his road (and esp Highway interchange) laying skills caused me to (metaphorically) face-palm so much.
Also It was weired all day yesterday as everyone who Im subscribed to uploaded all there parts at the same time (Quill, Arumba and Kailvin all uploaded an episode at once, then an hour later the same thing, and again and again)

I don't really understand your outrage. Press, games media have always been given early copies. The only difference now is that you can see them actually playing it rather than read about it in a text review. It's a pretty big part of promoting a product, it's not like anyone's money is being stolen or anything untoward is going on. It doesn't matter if they've played city builders before (though I think you're wrong that most of them haven't, not that I know exactly who has been given one and who hasn't).

I can't watch anymore. I want to, but the way they build is INFURIATING THE HELL OUT OF ME! I mean it is like back when my friends and I would play Simcity 4 when it first came out and they would build and I would be like THE **** ARE YOU BUILDING THAT THERE FOR! To each their own, but seriously this is why this genre shouldn't be multiplayer. Thank-fully this game isn't. Can't freaking wait for TUESDAY!

Roads have a hierarchy... Arumba, Quill18, others this is at you. **EDIT** (I am not trying to complain, I am trying to help :) Thank-you for your time in making the videos!)

Your perceptions is really messed up, you perceived "rage" where there is none. I was calling it like I see it, how it actually is. Getting upset about it. If ind it odd how people on the Internet always perceive "rage" where there is none to be found, perhaps being online can give people delusions? Or maybe the Internet gives people this deprivation of perception making it so they cannot perceive things as they actually are. Either way, if I were you and someone notified me that I was not in my right mind, I would at least get a second opinion, perhaps you should seek professional help for your delusions.

Also, anyone who does not know what a diamond interchange is has never played a city simulator, period. Further, anyone who does not know what a diamond interchange is, they have no clue about anything in the world around them, in the real world. All people, at least here in the U.S., have used diamond interchanges, most use several diamond interchanges everyday. So, if you have ever driven a car and have ever been on any highway at all and you still do not know what a diamond interchange is, your awareness of the world around you is practically zero, and such a person to me would be considered "stupid", much like the lady who walks into a fountain while looking at her cell phone, I see no difference between the two.

Yeah right you aren't upset. Take it down a few notches. You want to call it like you see it fine, but save the flaming for the Steam forums.

Considering the first one wasn't built in the U.S. until 2009, I highly doubt all people here drive on them several times a day. Cloverleafs, maybe.

I think you might be confusing "Diamond" interchange with "Diverging-Diamond" interchange. Diamond was one of the first ever built.
