I remember being very excited for the first one just to find it a little lackluster in the end and too cluttered with DLCs. Since then Frontier really has made a name for themselves as Paradox‘s little brother that litters their game with DLCs. Even as a fan of park sims, I‘ll pass on this one right away.
Completely valid arguments but I feels like the first game developed really nice after release. IMO they made some great changes on demand of the community namely letting us place scenery on rides, the addition of custom support parts and more management options. Also ending the game with the thememakers tooltik was a really nice move to let the community run wild.
But I’m also a little scared since the steam page mentions just 4 themes (and the generic theme) and I’m fearing that they took some out to sell them as a dlc from day 1. I’m optimistic but caution is definitly well advised.
Ooo this looks exciting. I still wish planet coaster had park management more in line with RCT, but the addition of waterpark rides is tempting.
I’m completely on the contrary. I’ve played part one for around 500h and and only in sandbox. That said I’ve heard good things about the management of planet zoo, so hopefully your management desires can also be fulfilled.
Planet coaster is definitely the best for sandbox and customizing things. If you want to build a beautiful park and themed rides there’s nothing like it. Meanwhile Parkitect scratches the management/business side itch, I just need these devs to get together and combine their strengths haha.
I didn’t play any planet zoo, that’s promising to hear maybe we’ll get some improvements with this too.
Take my compliment with a grain of salt since I think a lot of the management included caring for the animal needs which is something that’s completely gone in planet coaster. But at least the steam page mentions more needs of guest like shade from the sun or lifeguards near pools.
All I’ve ever heard about planet coaster is that it’s an unfinished mess that got half-finished with hundreds of dollars of dlc, so hearing another is in the works is kind of like…
Maybe finish your first helping before getting another slice of pizza?
Man, I really want to play some elite dangerous, now…
Ehhh. the game is coming up on 8 years, it’s definitely time for engine upgrades. Also the majority of DLC is themed packs (ghostbusters, back to the future and the like) with scenery, a single ride, and a single coaster. I wouldn’t consider it half-finished.
That’s just not true. The game sits at 91% positive reviews on steam and has a meta critic of 84.
I get how the scenery heavy aspect might not be every management enjoyers Cup of tea, but the it’s a well received game.
Planet Coaster 1 certainly wasn’t half-finished. The developers actively listened to the community and constantly made free improvements for years after release.
Sure, it has lots of DLC packs, but none of them are in any way essential.
Meh, I don’t see it as needing an expansion
Hopefully they have a better path management system. Creating paths in Planet Coaster was confusing and tedious.
