@Dirt_Owl because they searched for Workers and Resources: Soviet Republic wrong?

    I like WaRSR but the amount of micro compared to cities is insane

    No kidding. What is described as a "gameplay loop" in most games is like a trip around the solar system in WRSR. It has totally ruined C:S for me though lol (wait, is this sewer pipe is draining uphill? Literally unplayable!).

    Seriously. Last thing I bought from was vic3 base game so i could mod it (fuck steam mods who don't upload to nexus or have a github somewhere or SOMETHING other then gatekeeping it behind steam workshop).

    At least its moderately easy to pirate all the dlc on steam still. People out there justifying spending $500 on a game when we got multiple free "DLC" patches on games like stardew is kinda insane. And the DLCs have less content then the average free mod nowadays... People really need to just make open source versions of pdx games at this point. I think some people are doing it with vic2.

    There’s a whole economy of paid mods as well. You could dump house downpayment money on Sims easily

    i dumped so much money into stellaris DLCs after the 3 rework of the base game i just about had it, i paid more than enough and then some for a complete video game, i'm going to get a complete video game

    that's the comedy of it all, until they get abandoned for the next game in the series, paradox games are never done, they're essentially in early access

    It's also bad for gameplay, because the mechanics added on the dlc have to be confined to that dlc so they don't interact with each other, much less build on each other, so you end with a seemingly complex but shallow game.

    Got Stellaris recently and it was awful for this reason. Everything felt totally bare and like there was some other mechanic somewhere that made everything work. Also got back to EUIV after playing it a lot at release and hated a lot of the systems and wouldnt you know it everything worked great after I got the DLC pass thing.

    Sky mods.

    Edit: sky mods hosts mods for many games not just city skylines, and you can ask them to upload mods for steam, and they do it in about a day. I did this for a homeworld remastered mod once.

    I think they have a dlc pass subscription for some of their games to try and on-ramp new players. Still fucking sucks, though.

    Some of us never left SimCity 4

    Editors note: Pleakley's computer can't handle Cities Skylines, not even a little. These comments are not made out of spite.

    same same, maybe it was my insistence on running the realistic traffic mods but skylines would always just be so sluggish on my comp.

    But i did lose like a year of my life to simcity 4 when i was younger lol.

    I thought SimCity 4 had a weird glitch when you attempt to run it on Win10 - 11?

    Certain editions are no good, I don't know the complete technical details but where you purchase it from is a factor. I bought the game on Steam and have had zero problems on my Windows 10 PC 🙂

    I am still upset skylines has no way for a TV enjoyer to read their tooltips. So glad i found this out thru piracy instead of paying for a game my setup isn't made for
