Do you like building theme parks? Do you like adjusting and modeling rollercoasters? Like, a lot? Then $12 is definitely worth it. The game is probably the best amusement park freeform sandbox ever.
If you’re looking for business stuff, more on the “tycoon” side, then maybe not.
I was a big fan of RCT 1 and 2 but never got into 3 and it’s been a long time since I played them. I guess I’ll hold off for now. I’m sure it will go on sale again soon.
This game needs some major managerial content. It’s kinda boring if you don’t like constructing stuff from scratch as there’s no challenge to the game. Not sure if the upcoming patch addresses that at all.
Vintage Pack announced. Old-timey theme park bits and scenery. The free update that comes at the same time will include self-serve vending machines, a Mouse Hunt coaster, and the ability to set up groups of stuff in the editor.
Anyone know if they do visual culling? I’d like to get my scenery ratings up, but not kill my game performance due to so many items being posted. I could do a small group of static items that lie on top of each other, like 80 rocks you can’t see covered with nice foliage you can. But it if it’s going to render 80 rocks it kinda nullifies the point.
Been playing this a lot lately as it’s a “summery” type of game.
Actually surprised myself for once. While I still build crappy (jerky) coasters, I have figured out how to build structures nicely. I don’t know why things suddenly clicked. Just wish I had a Cray supercomputer so I could load up my parks with max rides, scenery, and 10k people.
