I´m already a bit bored sadly (DLC?)

[eX!LE]

I like the game but after playing a few hours and flipping a few houses I don´t really know what else to do. My skills are maxed out and the community aspect does not really do it for me. It lacks a lot of content compared to HF1. To be fair HF1 needed a lot of DLC´s but I thought they might put way more stuff in HF2. I know some will come with DLC´s but for now I´m not very invested anymore.

Not seeing the before / after pictures might also be the biggest let-down. I don´t really feel that I accomplished a lot. Would have beein amazing if we got an photo album with all the restaurations we did or something like that.

I also enjoyed installing showers and heating elements but this is also gone sadly.

Also there is not much to do for the gardens. I thought after the HF1 garden DLC they might include this stuff for the sequel from the start. Guess the DLC´s will be basically the same as for HF1 again.

Well nice game but maybe I expected too much after the first one sold millions of copys.

Agree 100%, I feel such a lack of motivation when I have no before/after to show for. What's the point of putting in all that work for the extra detail if it's gone right after?

[Liringlas]

Agree with you, feeling the same. Did one flip, fully restored the starting house. And I'm sitting on more cash than i know how to spend - the flipping netted me 15k, but the jobs I had to do to unlock wall building and destruction gave me enough that I could buy any house currently available.

Similar to you, missing things like the before / after, cutting the grass. I never use carpet floors but I miss there being no painting to put on the walls, only posters. I initially thought that better decorations would unlock later on, but it seems not.

We would love to sell you DLC.
Why do you think we got rid of workshop support?

Listen: we’re very greedy. We do not care if we’re not making this game as good as it can be, we just want your freaking money…. besides - we hate our community of gamers so freaking much, we’ve got 10 DLC packs already lined up for scheduled release.
Enjoy, B!•••’s!

If you can build homes from scratch and flip multiple homes in a few hours, then you aren't maximizing the game's potential. Come up with a highly detailed plan and execute it over the course of a week or two. I guarantee it will be more satisfying.

But I can just share the house with the community right? And there is no comment system or is there? I can't even sell my own build house in-game...

Same here, I'm already bored. It only took me 10 hours to complete all the missions.

A week to flip one digital house sounds insane. If you are planing on doing this in real life maybe but not as a game

[Crusader765]

I'm not talking about just flipping, I'm talking about building one from scratch. None of the most detailed ones on the mod site were actually made yesterday, they are all from people with advanced copies of the game.

this should have been an upgrade or a dlc for hf1
there is no need for a new game or a money grab

why bring out all the dlc's for hf1 and then make another game

Give me a break. No one updates graphics this significantly through a DLC.

HF1 is one of the most poorly optimized games I own, it should not make my laptop (one capable of reasonably running BG3 on the higher graphics settings) heat up to nearly dangerous levels and still be chugging if I put the graphics settings above potato, and the textures on the base game items often look so bad to me that I can't convince myself to use them (even though the buyers don't recognize most DLC double beds as double beds for the purposes of who wanted to buy what!)

Since releasing HF1, they've gotten demonstrably better at just about everything, but with DLC they were chained to their mistakes in the first game because of how game engines work. Starting fresh so that everything can be the same level of quality was a good idea. One of the things I love about the new version (besides the fact that my laptop isn't nearly on fire) is the fact that everything is visually cohesive. The furniture isn't all at slightly different scales, the textures use the same colors and the same resolutions, measurements are consistent, more furniture is part of matching sets rather than being a single weird item that goes with nothing. It feels like a real professionally made game now.

Not sure why I bought this game I knew full well I would bore of it after the first 2 or 3 flips....

I said this with the first game.... They needed to make Flipping a house more of a challenge, they needed to make it so you could possibly lose money on your flips... The first game had zero challenge and well the second game also has zero challenge....

I always wanted a house flipper that focused more on the Finance and the Money making portion of the game. "As that could be a game" But they only ever focused on the Creativity of the game.... Which is all good and great but with creative focus alone its a Decent game but if they actually spent the time to incorporate an actual economy and the ability to lose money and the need to think strategically about what and how you are going to do that flips and what kind of person are you targeting your flip for etc.... Then the game would be so much more interesting....
