I would like /v/ to play more city building games
>>745965751Is CS2 fixed?
>>745966110getting there
is it fun or just autistic like f*ctorio
>>745965751What's fun about building a city. I'd rather play Empires of the Undergrowth if I'm gonna play some insect simulator
>>745965751I want to get into Song of Syx but I already failed once
>>745969285Suburban cucks seething at the very notion of cities and imitating their boomer retard parents will never not be pathetic.
>>745965751I do play Songs of Syx. Like all city building games though it's quite easy and gets boring quickly.
>>745966189Can you build anything that isn't a generic American city with suburbs and downtown or is it like the first one?
Sort of waiting for a cyberpunk city builder. I thought Navalis (Cloudpunk sequel) was going to be that, but nah. It's a combination of sim genres. There have been a few other games with stuff like generation ships and colonies, but that's not the vibe I'm looking for.
>>745965751whats the best looking city sim? City Masterplan looks really good, excited about that
still playing CS1still downloading every workshop asset I findshan't be playing CS2
>>745965751name one game that allows me to put ethnostate laws into effect and i'll play it
>>745970883songs of syx
>>745970883I play most cities in songs of syx as ethnostates with closed borders and a self sufficient, exportless economy.
>>745970684Yeah if it ever comes out it'll easily be the prettiest city builder thanks to UE5. However I don't think it'll be a deep tycoon since this is their first game. It'll likely be a pretty sandbox with demanding requirements. Btw it's Chinese. They really like this genre and their indie scene is autismaxxed so it might even be decent if they see it through. If not well at least it'll have cool Chinese megatalls with LED shows.
>>745969285Kek, you sure got that tranny bugman seething.
>>745970675American cities are what Euros would have done if they weren't hampered by history
>build a western modern city builder #2137boring, i want to build something exotic for a change
>>745970676>cyberpunk city builderStill just modded CS1 unfortunately
The DLC for the first game was so bad I don't even trust the second one.Huge mistake trying to suddenly introduce Anno-like production into a game that didn't have it. Like now there are regular industrial zones, or you can micromanage every building gathering materials and shit, it's just weird. Either make us a mayor or a king/dictator.
>>745970883Why stop at ethnostate? Why not create a slave class that you will use as a food source?
Are any of the newer city builders, preferably ones that came out this year any good
is there any point to getting tropico 6 if i have tropico 4. the internet seems to say no...
>>745972143European cities are designed to make you want to live there, American cities just get you from A to BBut actually I want to make cyberpunk Asian and brutalist Slavic cities
>>745971583Then you'll know you gimped your growth and run a subpar economy.
>>745965751but there hasn't been a single one worth playing since SimCity 4 (which released almost 25 years ago)???
>>745973486Economy runs fine on my machine.
>>745973215Everyone wants to get from A to B quicker, euros have convinced themselves that being crammed in like sardines is the superior way to live because its their culture to act superior to americans.Meanwhile I live 20 minutes out of town because all the inconvenience of paying for a car is countered by the ability to drive to wherever I want whenever I want
>>745972253The game would be so great if the logistics weren't so shitty.
>>745972635Mandate Order
>>745973765this, Cities Skylines is utterly braindead compared to SimCity 4
>>745974539what's so shitty about them?>>745974339>being crammed in like sardinesi really like how amerikans just make these retarded assumptions, it's beautiful. as if cars were outlawed in europe or some shit. "dude i can drive whenever!" as if eu has some non-driving hours or some shit
>>745970675You can, there are base game things now, paid DLCs, and free official mods that add different building appearance packs. The (paid) Mediterranean Heritage pack is particularly nice, one of the only paid DLCs I really thought was worth it
>>745970189Same. I tried twice but the look and feel actively turn me off, and it's not like I don't enjoy rimworld or even the lesser known uglier ones like towns or gnomoria. Similarly, I've never gotten into DF
>>745974339>cager You're a podbot.
Who are some nice and cozy citybuilder-oriented youtubers to watch? I know Nookrium and Gamerzakh, but crave more
>>745977038It's really hard to build big cities because the game can't seem to distribute the resources properly among the warehouses.
>>745977159Looks ok. Are there mixed zones? Do you get more freedom in how you lay things out? I remember the challenge of 1 was that if you tried to make anything other than a grid or some kind of fractal road system you got traffic problems which made it hard to make anything that wasn't a flat suburban hellscape.>>745974339>Everyone wants to get from A to B quicker, euros have convinced themselves that being crammed in like sardines is the superior way to live because its their culture to act superior to americans. I was referring to aesthetics mainly. The best looking cities in the world are in Europe. Some Asian cities have cool aesthetics but usually more in a "just like my Chinese cyberpunk cartoons" sense. Mostly you just get commie blocks/towers and different coloured glass dildos like the US. That said a city builder that let you build bleak Soviet style cities could be fun.
>>745979704I am jealous of the aesthetics for sure
Current city.
>>745972520That's just inefficient unless that "slave class" is literally cows.
>>745965751ive played 2 and couldnt be assed to start it a second time
>>7459661102 is basically a bunch of mods for 1 sold as a standalone game, with modular buildings of simcity 5 (while looking 100 times worse). It will never become better, just listen to its horrible radio stations with its blatantly female attempt at humor and satire
>>745970189its the entire design of that game, bring you down, its not a city builder, its a le hardcore torture sim with a shit balance
>>745986076>2 is basically a bunch of mods for 1 sold as a standalone gameI wish lol
one of the only enjoyable city sims i've played was actually transport fever 2, because the gameplay is a simple solid loop and there is a clear progression.the other is tropico 4 but mostly because of the general effort put in to the setting, story, humor and such, city building itself is nothing special.others suck ass as games.
>>745972638no, its toothless as all american post obama satire. Lefties instead of being mocked for hypocrisy and annoyance became intellectuals and the staples of objective morality, while contrasted by the usual rednecks and whatever the fuck, the bad guys.
>>745970883you wont, shitposting nigger
Workers and Resources has completely spoiled other city building games for me
>>745970883Stellaris I think
>>745974539as shallow as every modern indie, absolutely 0 late game.a better banished clone was the hohol one, ostriv, that is until manor lords came out. They are both equally unfinished but at least core mechanics are a bit deeper, might require two sessions instead of one to be done with.
>>745970883Tropico 4. Played one game with zero immigration, using boosts to population growth from edicts and my El Presidente to compensate for the lack of immigration. It was pretty chill actually. Can't really do the same thing in 5 and 6, which is just another reason why the series peaked with 4.
>>745972143>>745974339This is some pathetic ass cope, holy shit. Car lobbyists have raped your brain into complete servitude.
>>745990529I can instantly get in my car and go exactly where I want to. That ability costs me time and money.
>>745969285It's fun to watch your city come to life
