Release Day - I am so sad.

[Sinister]

I loved HF1, and I bought most of the DLCs and so far I have enjoyed around 160 hours of play. I have been waiting for this game since it was announced. And seeing what was released today breaks my heart. The graphics don't look as good as the original, you lost me right there. It also seems like several pieces of core functionality were removed. Example. How the heck is there no before and after?? Well, anyhow, my heart is broken and I have removed it from my wishlist. Guess I will figure out how to get more play out of the original.

I'm really sad to hear that!
Indeed some of the development choices for House Flipper 2 were vastly different from what players experienced with the first part of the franchise.

We still stand by those changes, as we feel like in the end, most of these new choices either improve the gameplay itself or provide a higher amount of expandability and create more of a future-proof design.

On the other hand, the before-after feature, for example, is something we gave up on, but it clearly seems that a ton of players want it back, so we will definitely look into our options here.

Appreciate your feedback a ton, saves me time and disappointment. I saw a picture by a dev of how it looks on the steam deck to confirm it works on the unit, it looked ugly… but I told myself it’s just pre-release images so there’s still hope, looks like I was wrong.

Sorry to hear that the choices made by the devs is also choices now made by players to walk away from this game. Oh well.

It drew others in though. I've gotten two friends to buy it just today, both said they don't remember HF1 looking this good. I told them they're right.

before/after was not removed, its just not included yet in the game. In House Flipper 1 it also was not in the maingame, it came with HG TV DLC

HF1 is far Superior to HF2. Removed from my Wishlist. Never buying it. Devs made stupid choices by removing things that were in HF1.

Glad I’m not your friend.

People complaining about the graphics are insane, are you playing on low or something? HF1 always looked like a bootleg asset flip with uncanny valley graphics lol. Now we have ambient occulsion, consistent art style on models and amazing lighting. The art style will allow for more consistent mods from the community also. Big 'i run my android phone modded with bad fonts' energy, or those awful GTA car mods which have bad specular reflection maps and 10,000 polies, and don't fit in with the rest of the cars - it looks good to mee!! XD

I dont like how the assembly mode is now separate i liked putting things together on jobs. Now it just feels like some side activity for discounts that's unnecessary to do.

[desertrose0601]

It's only day one, relax. I'm sure they will take into account player feedback and add some of this stuff back in.

Jenaverse, Why be nasty? You don't like the game fine but there are a lot of people that do. From your comment I bet a lot of people feel the same about you.
