We made a huge mistake by moving away from physical media.

Everything is worse now and it upsets me.

WHY THE FUCK IN THE YEAR TWO THOUSAND TWENTY FIVE I CANNOT HAVE A MODERN CITY BUILDER THAT ISNT SANDBOX SHIT
WHY IS EVERY GENRE DEAD

>>718894906
>SANDBOX SHIT
What do you mean by that?

Has anybody found any music that sounds like the sim city soundtrack?
you'd think citybuildercore would be a thing but its hard to find

link related is in the right direction

management mechanics are window dressing and dont actually matter at all, look at city skylines, the money doesnt matter you can just build whatever you want and are never forced to manage or make hard choices

>>718895491
He means a game with actual stakes/difficulty/win lose conditions and not glorified diorama builders for reddit screenshots

>>718895682
Cities can rebuilt, Jackie.

should I try
nebuchadnezar
pharao cleopatra new era
or some other game

i just some city building management

>>718895878
Pharaoh but not the remastered shit.
Try Emperor Rise of the Middle Kingdom for the best Impressions city builder.

>>718895878
I enjoyed those as a kid but those aren't city builders, they are road management/pathing sims. Found it gay as fuck when I tried to play one recently.

The guy who made these is a cuck.

Yes or no?

I remember the first time I added an airport to my city, and then exited to the regional map. I was amazed to see a plane flying around the region, and this track played

What level of cuckoldry are we talking?

>>718892434 (OP)
One thing I remember from 3000 that if a area had high crime there was sounds of glass breaking, gunshots and car alarms. More city builders need more feedback based on your choices, management, etc.

Yep, it's SimCity time :)

Come home Magnasanti man.

Finally. A walkable city.

>>718893581
fuck it's so good

>>718892434 (OP)
This song was too sexy for this game.

I think the genre's mistake was walking away from sprites

By now we should have had a 2D citybuilder that lets you make a city the size of a whole SC4 region

god city skylines is such a piece of GARBAGE

>>718892434 (OP)
Astonishing this game hasn't been surpassed in 20 years.

>tfw realizing the perfect aesthetic I want from a city builder was done ONCE and will never be done again
I love SC2K so much it's fucking unreal. Shame they can never do something like this or have ever

>>718901216
I agree.

Problem with 2D is that you can't see shit when there are too many tall buildings.

>what is the rotate button

>>718903121
To be fair, if we're talking about some downtown that's nothing BUT skyscrapers, rotating 90 degrees probably just means ANOTHER one blocks your view

That ain't a city builder, but I'll allow it

maybe it's time to reinstall

>>718903965
Is this modded? This looks amazing

PLOP PLOP PLOP PLOP PLOP

>>718903965
Imagine a game like this but everything actually functions and contributes to the gameplay.

cities skylines 2 fucking sucks
I'm so hungry for a new city builder to play
recommend me another one to waste a couple hours on that isn't sc4 modded or cs1

>Load SC2K Special Edition
>PRISCILLA
Yep, it's gamin' time.

>>718904179
I don't know why it says rare song. On my copy, it always is the first song that plays when I boot it up unless I disable it.

>>718904467
iirc to trigger it in-game you had to do something very specific
Can't recall if that's true or not. I haven't played the game in years.

>>718904539
Maybe my GOG version is different. It literally plays every time I start, without mods or anything special.

>>718893428
I've been summoned. This is the last pack I played with a few years ago. Just needs NAM.

thanks for reminding me of this soundtrack, going to make my night much better

>>718903721
I'm trying to understand what's happening here. The guy designed the course in such a way that golfers always play a perfect game or something?

>>718903721
>t golfers always play a perfect game or something?

The opposite, it's a course full of trickshots

>>718903965
Dew it

>>718904073
Yes its modded, no way a city-builder game would design a realistic fully-scaled port

Dude probably had an aerial photo of an actual port up when he meticulously assembled this

You have to use the Obliterate City button, which is suitably harrowing.

Is Manor Lords worth it yet? Popped on sale again. Watching vids from its first release it looked really shallow and disappointing but I haven't followed it since. I figured it would never live up to the like 5 years of hype the guy built which is why I didn't buy it on release.

how do I get over my fear of demolishing areas to redo or expand road networks?

>>718895682
Is there an option to order police to arrest Jackie for hate speech and dog whistles and other made up shit?

Will they *actually* change/update the game this time? They have l i t e r a l l y made and sold the exact same game 4 times now. The same game.

>>718901276
best track in the game by far. the ending really leaves so much to the imagination

*slow clap*
Not bad..... not bad at all....

That brings me back.

take notes

The full size spiral bound 'operators manual' in SC3000Unlimited is still my favorite feelie I ever got in a video game package.

I wish there was a way to find and implement the perfect balance of "I don't want to sit around and autistically wait for construction to occur" and "I don't want an entire highway system to magically appear within an in game day". Not having some kind of simulation of dealing with challenges resulting as you make infrastructure changes always bugs me.

god what a utopia

SC4 is easy, you cant lose. Just keep placing down the grids of green and yellow, then move onto the next square.
But all my cities turn out ugly. And i wish transport did something.
Plus all the mods and images make it look so pretty when my cities are bleh. And the rail/transport mod is a complete meme and not worth your time.
