Why I Think this game SUCKS.

[algae]

Hey guys. Before you rant at me, Let me just say how I feel based on opinion.

I've tried to love this game. I LOVE the Chris Sawyer line of RCT games. But I have issues with this game.. and a lot of them. I can't go 2 minutes in a game without discovering something thats just so Mindboggling stupid, it makes me wonder what the devs are thinking. Maybe some of you can help me with my problems and help me enjoy it a bit more because right now.. It's unplayable to me. LITERALLY unplayable.

1. Theres no grid to build on unless youre making roads.. okay? Why not?

2. You CANT Snap pieces together as youre building to make them accurate, and build quickly. Why not? Even console games from 2007 have this feature. Building in this game is so long and tedious. If there was a free move and SNAP mode... Why the hell not?

3. You CANNOT select multiple items/art pieces/etc.. and duplicate them. You have to make a blueprint of it? WHY NOT? Why can't you just Select.. and dupe. Why does this game make everything harder than it needs to be?
You legit.. cannot.. copy and paste. One of the most basic tools in any creation game.

4. Can you not add texture to art pieces? It's just a giant neon green block structure that looks out of place? Okay then. How do other people make objects and builds look so real then?

5. Why must bathrooms have a path in the front AND the back? Wtf? Why not just walk out the same door they came in??

6. Also if you build a structure containing over 50,100+,etc pieces.. and you want to save it as a blue print.. good luck selecting every piece with the multiselector. WHY isnt there a DRAG select tool?

It would help also.. if it told me how high things were off the ground so I can be consistant when matching things up. This games gorgeous.. but right now it feels like an unplayable mess.

Rant over. Again.. I love the idea of the game. I'm not bashing or hating on it. It just boggles my mind how these things are not in the game.

Im a bit confused what you mean with the dublication thing... choosing stuff with that arrow with the block in the right corner lets you choose bunch of stuff and then i can simply copy it. with i think it was control v or such..? id have to look it up since i rewrote my keyshorts.

Theres a botton in the bottom right that selects multiple objects at once. Lets say youre building a castle tower (I know theres easier ways to make a tower, but this is an example of many more complicated buildings).
You start by building 4 corners and make a box. Now you want to select all the objects you used at once using the multi-selector, and duplicate them, Dragging your box and stacking it on top of itself repetedly.. thus making it taller. You cannot do this.. in this game. How can such an obvious feature be absent.

All it allows you to do is blueprint it.. how tedious.. not to mention you have to name, description it etc and it isnt even a completed item.

1. who cares

3. agree that needs to change
4. also agree
5. they can let me guess you chose the pirate bathroom blueprint with the 2 entrys on the back and front? :P

On your #5, I tried all of them. People still complain about not having an exit. And on yout #2.. you still can't snap then together. As in you place it near it and it autosnaps perfectly.

2. no but you can move it l/r or u/d easily without it moving.
5. add one from the custom shops tab.

#2 Ya but thats the problem. Perfectly lining up objects is rediculous. Games have had Autosnap features for over 10 years.. maybe even longer. They have autosnaps for Paths and Grids for paths. Why exclude autosnap for Blocks/etc.. thats literally the only practical way to even build things.

I'm also adding 1 more issue I forgot about to the original post.

6. Also if you build a structure containing over 50,100+,etc pieces.. and you want to save it as a blue print.. good luck selecting every piece with the multiselector. WHY isnt there a DRAG select tool?

This game is missing so many obvous features.

Yeah a lot of your complaints are actually about stuff you can do - check some youtube tutorials out. The game isn't free of problems but if you should learn to do these things then give it another go.. I found it a little frustrating before I got to know the deal. (and BTW blueprints currently have a max of 2000 parts - best to know this before you spend hours making a 10000 parter only to find you can't save it as a blueprint) I was a massive fan of rct1,2+3 too but once you get used to it this it is definitely a step in the right direction.
