Worth getting for Singleplayer?

[Vantezzle]

It's quite expensive so...I want to know more.

Here is a video of someone playing it Singleplayer : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTFSXEgdheM

It should give you a good impression of what it is like.

Seriously? Expensive? I just bought a full price title WITH DLC for like 2 1/2 times as much! Sorry but if you call this game expensive your either to young OR wasting money on party/drugs/smoke/alk all day. 30 bucks is NOTHING!

What a joke that these people would recommend the game for single player when there is, in fact, no single player.

The game has no AI.

When you play "single player", the game launches a local server with no opponents connected. To call a game with no opponents "single player" is outright wrong and really dishonest.

It is a city builder though, in games like Tropico, Foundation, Banished, Cities: Skylines, etc you don't see AI either.
It's also solo game where you just build a city alone (which is kind of the objective when playng single player, to manage and build a city, not to defeat opponents)

So, you'd play Civ solo and call it a city builder?
Gimmie a break.

If you want to sell it as something akin to City Skylines, it fails even harder.

I am not trying to sell it, was just making the comment that it is possible to play it as single player (which I've done) , I didn't talk about Civ. though(not a citybuilder) , made other examples.

I dunno what you are trying to argue or why you want to argue at all. The game is pointless playing solo, period. There is no AI. There are no opponents. The game is nothing like any of your examples. It's not a city builder. I don't give a crap what someone tagged it.

It is a competitive multiplayer game where the goal is to expand and accrue victory points. There is a linear progression through the buildings built. Usually, with one new building at a time. There are not 500 creative options to choose from at the start. If you want to try and label this a city builder, it is the worst city builder that has ever existed.

It is a 4x game that requires opponents to have any point at all. There are no AI opponents. FIN

I don't know why you want to argue either, if that's the case. What I am arguing is that the game is a citybuilder in solo mode and a competitive multiplayer game... in multiplayer. It doesn't change the fact it is a citybuilder with the objective of managing cities (which is what you do when you play solo)
You seem to be pretty obssesed with this. If you didn't like it, that's valid and understandable, it still is a citybuilder and it still is possible to play solo. If to you the format of solo play is boring that's your opinion.

You can play go outside and stare at grass grow solo too, but there is no point or challenge to it.

Is Civ 5 a city builder? You can build buildings...
Is Gal Civ a city builder? You can build buildings....
Is Stellaris a city builder? You can build buildings....
Is Endless Legend a city builder? You can build buildings....
Is Starcraft a city builder? You can build buildings...
Is Command and Conquer a city builder? You can build buildings...
Is Distant Worlds a city builder? You can build buildings...

Would you play any of those games without an opponent?

[Necroscourge]

Fleshbits, you do know all four of those games you mentioned had the good sense to include an AI for those that don't want to always play multiplayer?

That's my point.

None of them are city builders. All of them require an opponent to make any sense at all.
As does this game. But this game has no AI opponents, and therefore has no single player "game" at all. What it has is a multiplayer sessions with no players connected, that you can sit through if you want, but it is pointless beyond learning.

The game sets up a server on your pc when you start the game in single and you should be possible to let them join. Yo can also set up a pw and you´ll see your host address
