Is this a copy paste of twopoint hospital?

[Oh for Fox Sake]

Title. Is this game different enough. Would you say it's worth it?

[weiss]

eh? i dont think so, or do you see patients with funny deseases walking into the campus?

[Kipi_GiD]

Yes, it's quite different. The gameplay loop is different, everything is based on academic year instead of trying to get patients through as quickly as possible, less micromanaging of queues (there are some queuing but nowhere near as bad as in Hospital), the goals are completely different and so on. There are some similarities as in art-style, the world games take place in (both are based on Two Point County) and some basic mechanics are somewhat similar.

It has the same aesthetic but it seems quite a lot different.

[Fr8monkey]

No. In Hospital, you are running around from crisis to crisis. Campus is so laid back...

[Paladin]

I would say yes, inasmuch as the key to success is again, upgrading your staff and equipment.

I would say no, as the strategic game and long term planning is much different. You're also not spending a lot of time thinking about how to Tetris in your rooms, which is nice.

It's like a normal sequel to another game. The game is different and new in significant ways, but also familiar. Bottom line is that if you didn't like TPH, you're not going to like TPC. If you enjoyed TPH, you're probably going to enjoy TPC.

I think the graphic style is same as two point hospital. Im sure the game mechanics are totally different though..since this is not a hospital. Think of the pixel remasters of final fantasy..the games looks the same, but involve different stories and mechanics.

[Sugarcube Battery]

I would say it's TPH with more mechanics added on.

[Prometheus]

The systems for making buildings/rooms will be very familiar if you played TPH. However the people management, both the staff and "customers" is quite different. Different style of long term planning too. Saying this is a clone of TPH would be the equivalent of saying Sonic is a clone of Mario. Yah, both are 2D platformers (yes, I am from that age *laughs in 40 year old*) but obviously aren't the same game.

Also sequels that are refinements on the old formula with more content have been normal for as long as games have existed. I can only assume people trying to spin it as a bad thing are just trolls. On equal level to all the "$40 game in an age when games cost $70 is too expensive" trolls. Which I block by default. With zero guilt.

It is a copy paste.

You then change the font type, add block underline and italic, change the punctuation and the font colour is now yellow instead of blue.

[The_Smooth_Lefty]

Different how? Students walking around pretending to be clowns, staff members with pans on their heads and janitors that dress like Freddie Mercury. Nah, not different at all.

[Tienguan]

funny i keep hearing PA announcements in the game ask doctor to hospital lol

[Yendor]

To answer your question, yes it is different enough and yes it is worth it.

The aesthetics are the same as is the basics of creating rooms and decorating them. But there is less micromanaging everything and you're looking a few months ahead instead of fixing immediate problems. You also know exactly how many students you will have unlike in 2Point Hospital where you could get swamped.

Pretty much, and I am sure there are new things to it. but it is a reskin of two point hospital. It has its own unique rooms and of course a slightly different gameplay mode but apart from that this could have easily been an add on for TP Hospital.

You can try to defend it as much as you like but it is no real difference gameplay wise to TP Hospital.

You have rooms that have to deal with certain needs, which is similar to the diagnoses

Lecture Halls = GP Office - possibly as they are not really "specific"
Classrooms = Diagnoses Rooms
Dorms = Wards
Student/Staff Lounge = Staff Room

You have staff to look after the building
Assistants = Receptionist
Teachers = Doctors (they all have different specialities)
Janitors = Janitors (who woulda thought)
Students = Patients, they all have their own trait types and needs

It is literally the same game with a different setting, again they have added in some different mechanics but nothing that would really say that this is anything new.

All that being said though I loved TP Hospital, and I am loving this game so far and I have only really played through the tutorial.

End result is, if you are done with TP Hospital then I wouldn't rush to buy this game, as it is just "more of the same" wait until it goes on sale. Still worth a play though.

to you aswell, if this is the same game for you like TPH (where you take care of deseases and not building a school with campus) are all games of battlefield and call of duty the same for you aswell. cause same mechanic, just a reskin, war, running around an shooting peoples. every MMO would be the same for you, just a reskin because you do the same in every MMO, you level, you skill up/gear up, do dungeons and eventually do raids, every other sim game would be the same for you aswell because the thematic is the same. i could go on and on but to say it in a nutschell.

you would play 1 genre of a game and all other games you find of this genre are the same games for you because they are similiar to each other.
