City Simulation Games Discussion

[Blurr]

I unfortunately never got into city sim games.

You either like it or you don't.

Map textures and world textures seem so lax in this game.  City building detail is great, but world detail is left wanting.

Longtime city builder player!

Did you guys check the recent seasons and climate blog post too?  It will be neat to see how that effects gameplay. More replayability.

The new economy video and blog is extremely detailed!

Good dev video about economy and production today (Thursday) as well. Even more in-depth.

They touched on homeless populations too.  I wonder if they will create tents of shantytowns?  I doubt it, but still interesting.

^ Highly doubt it.  They just wander.  But it should increase crime too.

The people simulation looks very detailed, but I think it will be overlooked completely by just building cities.

[Silverwing]

There are way more pluses to this game than negatives.  It's mostly all positives, but some textures look really poor.

New city game I hadn't heard about, but a bit of a twist.  It focuses more on production of supply chains.

Highrise City just got out of early access.

The last update before the game release in October.

Cities Skylines II has released and is getting torched because the game cannot run on ANYTHING.  You get like 5fps.  Optimization is horrible and with that, Colossal Order has destroyed the good will with their fanbase instantly.  They need to fix it.  They have to rebuild that trust and all the Youtubers who promoted it, are in shock or paid off right now.  It's a shame.  Mostly negative reviews so far on Steam. The foundation is there, optimization and more care needs to be done. 

Just another example of a new game imploding upon release.  Fans are mad.

[MasterXtreme]

It's disappointing but in the long run it has the bones of something great.  It's just most will NOT be able to play it.  A new generation of PC gaming is happening and we are finding out most need to update or buy a new computer.

[MasterXtreme]

Reviews are quickly bumping up.  Now in Mixed territory. 

Most complaints were optimization and people couldn't play the game because their computer's were not good enough.
