@Dirt_Owl because they searched for Workers and Resources: Soviet Republic wrong?

I like WaRSR but the amount of micro compared to cities is insane

No kidding. What is described as a "gameplay loop" in most games is like a trip around the solar system in WRSR. It has totally ruined C:S for me though lol (wait, is this sewer pipe is draining uphill? Literally unplayable!).

i'm sorry paradox can't scam $1 more out of me, i'm pirating their shit on principle

[-] KoboldKomrade@hexbear.net 13 points 2 months ago

Seriously. Last thing I bought from was vic3 base game so i could mod it (fuck steam mods who don't upload to nexus or have a github somewhere or SOMETHING other then gatekeeping it behind steam workshop).

At least its moderately easy to pirate all the dlc on steam still. People out there justifying spending $500 on a game when we got multiple free "DLC" patches on games like stardew is kinda insane. And the DLCs have less content then the average free mod nowadays... People really need to just make open source versions of pdx games at this point. I think some people are doing it with vic2.

Its worse when its a pyramid scheme like the sims 4 with its 90+ dlcs half of which are recolours of the same three shelves. You could buy a car with the money spend on that ish.

There’s a whole economy of paid mods as well. You could dump house downpayment money on Sims easily

There's something so satisfying about pirating that Sims 4 repack that just installs all the latest DLC, patches and other shit automatically.

You see this wall of dumb shit you never would have paid for that you're getting 100% free and it feels so good.

Do you mind sharing a link? That sounds convenient as hell. I've wanted to get Sims 4, but also getting all the DLC just seemed like a nightmare.

[-] Lemister@hexbear.net 1 points 2 months ago

Dont the sims 1 and 2 are easily accessible and free

[-] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 2 months ago

I've already got both of them though, I don't have sims 4, and sims 4 is much easier to mod.

[-] save_vs_death@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago

i dumped so much money into stellaris DLCs after the 3 rework of the base game i just about had it, i paid more than enough and then some for a complete video game, i'm going to get a complete video game

that's the comedy of it all, until they get abandoned for the next game in the series, paradox games are never done, they're essentially in early access

Some of us never left SimCity 4

Editors note: Pleakley's computer can't handle Cities Skylines, not even a little. These comments are not made out of spite.

[-] rtstragedy@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago

same same, maybe it was my insistence on running the realistic traffic mods but skylines would always just be so sluggish on my comp.

But i did lose like a year of my life to simcity 4 when i was younger lol.

[-] Redcuban1959@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago

I thought SimCity 4 had a weird glitch when you attempt to run it on Win10 - 11?

[-] Wendy_Pleakley@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago

Certain editions are no good, I don't know the complete technical details but where you purchase it from is a factor. I bought the game on Steam and have had zero problems on my Windows 10 PC 🙂

Good to know the Steam version is fixed

Flight sims, too, lmao

[-] Future_Honkey@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago

I am still upset skylines has no way for a TV enjoyer to read their tooltips. So glad i found this out thru piracy instead of paying for a game my setup isn't made for
