Fierce_LiNk Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I'm making the thread as Ine is a bit too lazy and won't do it. Bought the game yesterday. Seems awesome. The tricky part will be trying to nudge Ine off it so that I can play it at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happenstance Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I keep almost buying this as I know its supposed to be great and I love the idea of City builders but just havent seemed to stick with one since Sim City 2000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fierce_LiNk Posted March 30, 2015 Author Share Posted March 30, 2015 From what I've seen, it's what I always wanted Sim City to evolve into but it never did. It only cost just over £20 as well...which is a bit of a bargain, imo. I'll report back later when she's played moar of eet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drahkon Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Very tempted, but not sure if my PC can handle it. And then there's Bloodborne.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaggle64 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I'd be all over this if my laptop could deal. One day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fierce_LiNk Posted March 31, 2015 Author Share Posted March 31, 2015 I've been on this for around 3 hours using Ine's poverty macbook. It runs! The fans are working hard but I've had no problems yet. The game is awesome. My initial town, dubbed Jimville US of was a bit shit, but I managed to get 6,500 people living there. Not bad for a first attempt. Can't wait to play more.

Emasher Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I've really been enjoying this game. It's especially good if you're waiting for something to happen at 4 in the morning or so. The modding community seems to be pretty active too, and they've added pretty much everything the game has been missing. I originally posted these in the screenshots thread, but they're probably appropriate here as well: Current Recommended Mods: First Person Camera - Lets you walk/fly around your city, or view it through the eyes of a pedestrian or driver HideUI - Useful for First Person Camera Hide Policy Icons - Makes the map look cleaner if you have a lot of policies set for districts Toggle Traffic Lights - The game isn't always great at deciding which intersections should have lights or not Extended Public Transport UI - Makes it easier to view and modify Bus/Metro/Train routes you've set up No More Purple Pollution [brown Grass] - Makes polluted grass brown instead of purple Dynamic Resolution - Allows you to use DSR, which renders the game at a higher resolution than your monitor and downsamples it to give more accurate pixel colours (this requires a pretty good GPU, I can't really go above 1.5x with my 970) Auto Line Color - Some handy automation relating to setting up public transit lines Tree Brush - Paint trees onto the map instead of placing them individually All 25 Areas Purchasable - Allows you to buy all areas of the map instead of just 9 Automatic Bulldoze - Automatically removes abandoned and burnt out buildings. This makes it impossible for ghettos to form though Traffic++ (Zonable Pedestrian Paths) - Also adds roads with bus lanes - This is how I made the river path with shops in my screenshots ChirpFilter - Hides in-game tweets that aren't relevant No More Purple Pollution [brown Water] - Makes polluted water brown instead of purple Sun Shafts - Adds a god rays effect Ambient Occlusion - Better lighting (requires a decent video card) I'd also recommend installing a colour correction mod, and a bunch of new assets for growable buildings to make your cities look a little more diverse.

EEVILMURRAY Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 What sets this apart from other city sims? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fierce_LiNk Posted April 2, 2015 Author Share Posted April 2, 2015 What sets this apart from other city sims? There just feels like there is more to do/build/take care of. I can't say that for certain as I haven't played that many before, though. It's just fun. Play eet. I've started my project which I have dubbed Jimaica.

Happenstance Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I've got next week off work so I think I might finally buy this at the weekend and spend some time on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Why isn't it just called "Cities" or "Skylines". I do want this, when I have random spare monies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happenstance Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Its Cities: Skylines, Flink just butchered the name. I have to hold back the vomit everytime I read this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Colon vomit? Isn't that just poop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fierce_LiNk Posted April 3, 2015 Author Share Posted April 3, 2015 In fairness, there's no colon on the front cover, so...:p Jimaica isn't going very well. I went with coal power as I thought wind wasn't going to give me enough output. We managed to run out of coal, so no power. A massive exit ensued and I promptly quit the game whilst my numbers dwindled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fierce_LiNk Posted December 27, 2015 Author Share Posted December 27, 2015 I've been getting back into this over Christmas and have been having a great time with it. I just learned or remembered that you can build roads that go underground...so I've been making some offramps that go under roads which just look amazing. Fabulous!
