there's a lot of good discussion in this thread.
i played from alpha 1 to just before steam, and then took a break for months (6?) until feb this year.
but when i tried to explain why, here, i felt unwelcome rather quickly.
so mostly i only say what i like now. i rarely share what i don't like, or what i wish for.
which is a shame, because Frontier don't get the truth of my reality, only the sanitised agreeable version.
many of the "original chcs" from alpha rarely or never appear here, and CHC seems to have been killed off and sent to discord.
why? did they complain too much?
Angelis and Coasterbuff, where you at?
so, "general feeling about the game"?
it's not finished. it's beautiful. spectacular. and it's missing many RCT1-3 features that i assumed would be there.
so, the hype-hypertrain crashed and became the mildly excited tricycle, for me.
if the no-fee upgrades continue, it's all good. i can wait.
i do love it, no doubt... i have considered going back to RCT3 a few times (haven't though), and that frustrates me - PC should be a "better game", i should never be thinking "dammit i'll play rct3 so i can do this or that, and wait for PC to catch up".
yeah. so. rant over. agreeable mode reactivated.
I stopped commenting after I and other people being critical of the game, were basically accused of being a reason why the devs don't wanna work on the game anymore. One of the devs came in and said that the negativity was affecting their work ethic, and someone else pointed a finger saying that we were the reason for that. Gave me a really bad taste in my mouth, know others felt the same way about it too...
I still care about this game, but it's really becoming clearer and clearer that the devs don't really aim to please their core audience, but they're aiming for the the general public, which is fine and understandable. It just results in a game that I don't really wanna play unfortunately.
