I love Prison Architect, but I have absolutely 0 trust in Paradox, as they stand today
Can’t say I’m excited. I remember how badly they butchered the original game when they bought it, not to mention that art style isn’t great
They still haven’t fixed the major bugs after how many years in the first game. I don’t think I can trust them with a second.
I really dislike the new look. The first one had a simple but sleek aesthetic, this one just looks cheap and generic.
I was so excited for Cities: Skylines II, and it is a shell of the former game. So many systems seem to fake the economy, and it also feels impossible to make your city fail.
Waiting until I see evidence of a good game post-release before I board any kind of hype train.
Heh, that’s what I felt about city skylines. Maybe that’s just the game
It was definitely possible to tank a city in Skylines 1. That said, it’s also not the most challenging game.
But with Skylines II, I can’t even tank one when I try. Hundreds of thousands in the red? The game throws free money at you in the form of “government subsidies” to compensate. And they cannot be disabled. Absolute shit show.
What if you treat receiving subsidies as a failure condition?
I mean, usually they’re already active as soon as the game starts, so I don’t really think it could be considered that way. Ideally I’d just like to be able to turn them off, which I think would provide some challenge to the budget.
I feel like whenever i “tanked” a city in cities skylines, it was because of some awkwardness in the traffic system that comes about from chaos theory rather than anything city builderey, just not really about that.
In CS 1 I purposely poisoned the entire city and it took a remarkably long time for that to have any real repercussions and can be immediately and cheaply fixed. Like you can tank a city, but it takes a concerted effort. If you just keep building roads and painting RCI the game just kinda plays itself.
Yeah, no thanks Paradox.
It’s going to be interesting to see how well integrated the 3D and multi-story management is going to be.
Not sure whether to support this, after they just turned off servers of PA1.
Did they? I was actually going to try this game but I guess I can’t now
You can still play the game offline and single player just fine. Multiplayer has never been a core feature for my playthroughs. I don’t think it ever worked particularly well.
Well they stated that they didn’t guarantee for server uptime anymore, but the last times we tried, it never was available.
Fingers crossed this is good - I love the gameplay of the first one but the graphics kind of put me off
A boring dystopia.
Yeah, what’re these graphics and gameplay complaints when clearly the most objectionable thing about this is the concept?
Exactly.
I liked the first one alright but I remember it being a bit easy, and putting it down for rim world, a much more challenging game in the same vein. Guess I’ll wait and see on this one.
