DLC After Dark worth it?

[Wolf2907]

I am thinking about buying the After Dark DLC and wanted to know if it's worth it?
Hope you can help me.

I have the free update for this, but I don't really use it. There's not much you can do when it's dark except watch your cars, trucks and ppl go round and round.

Well it's on sale right now for something like $5 and I think well worth it. With it you get an international airport, a prison, commercial specializations for tourism and leisure districts (which create good income), and, for me,most importantly, roads with bike lanes which relly cut down on traffic.

Here's a link to the wiki page: http://www.skylineswiki.com/After_Dark

You should get it. i bought it a while ago and i really enjoy it. This is personal preference but i really think you should get it if your pc/laptopmac/linux or whatever you have can handle it

Am I wrong? Day Night Cycle is for free ? Got no DLC but it is getting dark frequently

So the buildings are what you pay for ?

You can specialize your commercial areas for tourism and leisure, cims can use bikes, you can place ways for bikes, criminals can go to prison, taxi service (depot and stands), cargo hub, international ariport, bus terminal, bus lanes.

It's worth it. Especialy if its on sale, like it is right now.

Paradox (developer) has a thing where they put out an expansion DLC, but a lot of the new stuff is included in a free patch to the base game which they put out at the same time. You pay for the rest if you buy the DLC. I'm not 100% sure how they decide what goes in which, but the result usually makes sense. There's a bunch of reasons for this, and up and down sides which result from it. (among other things, i think it makes it a lot easier to minimize bugs and maintain compatability if you skip one, stuff like that, facilitating the nice arrangement where you don't need to buy every expansion then install them in order if you just want the stuff from the most recent one, which is how it used to be done.)

Paradox (publisher) of course publishes those games. (the two technically have different names, but i can never remember what they are when it comes up. I think it's "Paradox Development Studios" and "Paradox Interactive"? not sure.)

Paradox (publisher) Also publishes Cities Skylines, which is developled by Collosal Order. now, CO seems to be following Paradox's pattern with it's expansion type DLCs, where a bunch of stuff is given to all players for free along with the code update required to allow the DLC to exist if you buy it, while you get the rest if you buy the DLC.

So, each expansion is, broadly speaking, composed of two parts: the monetized DLC, and the free update which goes with it.

Basically, if you have the base game and steam updates it regularly? you have some of the stuff from the project which was the After Dark Expansion, despite not having bought the After Dark DLC.

This is why there are ratings and reviews.

http://store.steampowered.com/app/369150/

86% of the 426 user reviews for this game are positive.

But If you open a thread you get life input. Reading a year old review isn't as helpful as talking to ppl who are actually playing the game right now.

Yes. Both DLCs are worth it (I say both and not all 3 because the art deco one doesn't really count as it's just a paid mod)
