This game sucks!

[agone]

I am not often heavily disapointed of the game I purchase but this is probably my biggest disapointment in years and I will explain why:

I looked at many reviews and all said it was one of the best city builder ever made so my expectations were quite high.

but here starts the things :

- it is a pure sand box game... no objectives then your own not even multiplayer ... bad starts but I can get over that easily considering it is a city builder it is a bit the basic idea s...

- The game is incomplete like hell I feel like playing on a beta... it looks like developpers created a game without most of the important things saying... the player can mod it anyway they will do the work for us and we will still get the money.

-I say incomplete because : changing design is impossible, traffic information are almost non existant, there is no specialisation for building, you have commercial, residential offices and industrials... nothing about entertainment, advanced services, ... no diversity, maps are almost identicals, no control on traffic... cannot delete lights, cannot do anything besically, metro lines cannot go overground... if slope too steep to cross a river then you have no metro no bridge possible. the terrain is a pain in the ass... you want to put something down and you see : "slope too steep" or "space already occupied" ... what slope and occupied by what sometimes you have that and there is nothing and in those case you besically have to terraform the entire planet and the terraforming tool needs almost a PHD to be used efficiently. ... Oh yes and fountain, artificial canals, etc... not existing the dev don't know that water can be anywhere else then in pipes.

- And I don't talk about the achievments ... most of them are jokes ... you need to ruin you entire city to get them.

- Oh and you want to buldoze a bunch of thing... no buldoze brush you go clic by click... you want trees... an entire forest ... same here... and you have to buldoze all abandoned houses and empty landfills by hand not even possible to automatize this.

- and when you built your city the only interesting management thing is traffic because happyness and money is a joke Everyone is always happy and late game I don't even know where to put my money... well traffic is interesting but guess what... you have not a single tool to manage this.

I probably missed many things but this game really sucks hard I feel like I payed for a mediocre beta test game that was commercialized in beta testing quality.

I hope you refunded this game in time.

fyi, the things you complain are mostly in workshop and most aren;t issues except for poor mayor skills from not having time to learn the game yet.

also, you don't manage traffic, you eliminate it. But you haven't had time to figure it out yet.

finally someone who articulated my issues with this game! What you might be looking might be found in SimCity 2013, don't listen to the bad reviews, I think that you would love it.

This game is a monopoly...I dont see any other games nowadays gets to compete against this lovely game, with or without MODS. Someone probably paid him to post this joke.

If you do decide to continue then a tip on bulldozing - Click and hold the mouse button to delete an object then moving the mouse over other objects of the same type will delete them as well. Note, doing this with abandoned buildings will delete any building, not just abandoned ones.

But as rmjohnson144 mentions the workshop has tools for most of what you mention, including improved mass deletion options and auto-delete of abandoned buildings.

Game not for you? Try something else

[barrygreybeard]

Don't like it great! Some of us do, so time for you to move on to a game that suits you

I have started to play the game again after taking a lengthy break. I can understand how you feel about the game but I have never bothered about achievements, I rarely notice them unless someone else mentions that they are there. On the other hand, my Son loves to accomplish them and feels that they are a part of the game.
I also see that whilst you "only" have 49 hours playing this you have around 230 plus hours playing Civ VI. For me Civ VI was an instant buy and yet I have really found it hard to get into playing that, having played each of the previous versions. It just doesn't "work" for me, maybe it will one day.

I suppose what I am saying is that sometimes a game will click and you will see most of its virtues and forgive what it can lack and other times you are just aware of the warts as it doesn't work for you.
I have bought most of the DLC etc for this game and can’t wait for the Mass Transit addon. For me the ones I bought and various mods make enough of a difference to the base game.
At least you have tried it and good luck on your next one, hopefully that base game should not have cost you much.

Sounds like you're asking for a different genre, because true city building games have always been sandboxes with no overarching goals to reach other than those you set for yourself.

Incomplete how exactly? You rant about how there's no information available, yet the game offers a plethora of detailed overlays that tell you exactly how things like traffic are flowing, and where people are trying to get to.

Whaaaaat? A city building game that focuses on traffic? YOU MUST BE JOKING. In all seriousness this has been a focus since the very first Sim City...

What it sounds like is that you bought this game expecting a different genre (I am genuinely curious as to what games you are comparing this to) and confuse a different focus on mechanics with an "incomplete" product.

This game is so far best, only problem is, its for people who have imagination. You are not what I read. After 1500 hrs I can say, I didnt try every thing in this game, there are just tooooo many possibilities.

No traffic tool? Paid workshop, I know :X

No objectives? There is only one objective: enjoy and build your mind, if your mind is empty, then this game wont be for you :-)

Only one thing i am sad is that you are angry because you dont know how it works, that makes me really sad :(

Anyway hope CO dont give your money back :-)

This is the best city builder simulation game ever made period.

Edit: If what you want is multiplayer in a good city building game i reccomand tropico 5.

Get on YouTube and watch the cities being created by Strictoaster, Fresh Popcorn and others.

Cities is not a GAME, it is considered a SIMULATION. If you want to play a GAME, buy one of the stupid Chinese sword fighting games.

I enjoy going in and trying to improve the cities I've created with my own hands. I'm afraid this type of SIMULATION is not for you.

[agone]

what I realize ois that pple focus on 1 thing I say maybe 2 ... the problem is not this game has 1 thing wrong but plenty ... too much.

Yes there is mods that fixes many of those issues (btw if someone created a mod to fix the issue it means I am not dreaming there really is an issue)... but that is what I criticize the dev ... they created a game incomplete like hell and hoped the modders would fix and complete the game for them at no cost.

What I realize is that there is too much of the new pokemon go generation that want games that hold their hands all the way.
