My God ! Simcity 3000 and Simcity 4 looks so good.

[gimlikos84]

I just reinstalled Simcity 3000 and Simcity 4.I cant believe how good these city builders are.The 2D graphics is so beautiful , and the gameplay over all is so much better , and challenging then Cities Skylines 1,2.I have so much fun playing Simcity games.Cities Skylines 2 for sure looks much worse , and the gameplay is so boring and not fun to play with no challenge at all.I dont want to paint my City forever , over and over again , with no challenging.The economy and gameplay is so good and fun in Simcity games.So sad , so bad Cities Skylines 2 is downgrade and in pre alpha version.
What happened to Collosal Order ? No visionary and no heart ,and artistic.Everything looks average with no art style at all.
At the end, please try Simcity 3000 and SImcity 4.Its an ART !

Simcity 4 with official Steam Workshop support would be great... and remade to fit/work on modern tech :/

LGR posted a nice retrospective on uTube a few days ago. He is the best Retro SimCity and Sims player there ever was.

The CS series is so far beneath SimCity 3000 and 4.

SC3000 was an amazing game for its time, very fun. SC4 was beautiful and more broad but had a few more issues, which can be solved by mods. Both amazing games.

They were fun to me but they are archaic to me now. Especially SC3k.

Vanilla gameplay is not much different - or challenging - than CS. Build service building here, build service building there, done.

At least CS is fully 3D, and I am not talking just about the looks.

That is what a true city builder is suppose to be. Anything else is a hybrid of the genre.

Again you speak of challenging. The main user body that plays cs1/cs2 would get creamed in sc3k and 4. I've seen creators go back and play them and it was a disaster.

Sure once you play any tycoon game and figure it out it's easy. But a gamer who never played original SimCities could not instantly pick up the old games and do a good job.

While anyone can pick up cs1/2 and be good at it and have no issues.

Any tycoon game once you know how it works becomes less challenging. But cs1 was never challenging.

While SimCity had a challenge whether you've mastered it or never played it. It existed when it was released.

You can't look back with modern eyes that could be said for any game.

The fact is if the pure city builder genre 3k and 4 are the top 2 titles ever. With 2k not far behind and cs1/2 not even being on the same page.

Sim City 4 was the best city builder of it's time with a true deep simulator, unlike the fakest deepest of simulators of our times, like the one in CS2

And the crazy thing is Sc4 is getting better!!! The DLL mods were a huge a break through and the announcement from the sc4 communities pretty recent that you will need the fully digital pc version going forward because of the new dll mods they are able to do.

I believe the last time I played 3000 or Sc4 was like 3-5 years before Cs1. SC3k was always pretty cool cause you just grab it and go. Sc4 always need NAM and other mods etc. But the Sc4 documentation is darn good. Ive been looking at it recently.

I dont have 1 of the new digital copies of Sc4 so I'm actually planning on getting it soon and
go through all the installers and community mod patches etc.

Ive been playing the hell out of Football Coach: College Dynasty but once I am done with that I think it is time to hop back on the Sc4 train as it has never been better.

ive been reading the sc4 reddit all week lol

Oh yeah cs1 and simcity are awesome!!!!!!! I play them. I'm just here to check on a hope that cs2 gets workshop, assets and fixes.
