As I've done with all previous main packs, I added the contents to my scenery explorer park, everything laid out on the ground for easy viewing.
That's when I noticed how thin the Vintage DLC is compared with other packs.
Number of scenery and building items per pack:
Spooky: 345
Adventure: 485
Studios: 419
Vintage: 238
That's quite a step down. In addition, Spooky, Adventure and Studios have two track rides each. Vintage has no track rides.
Vintage has two new coasters, but one of those is a re-skin of the wooden Gnarler. So there's really only one new coaster, the Bobsled. Is the Bobsled and the extra flat rides enough to balance out the pack comparatively with the others? That's the question keeping me up at night!
It's not keeping me up. For me, the Vintage is a little underweight. Adventure and Studios packs set the bar high, and the bar has been nudged down just a tad.
I'll buy these packs every time, I'm not trying to start any negativity here, we're all fans etc. I'm happy with new lamp posts, box-lettering, lit archways, victorian tile roofs and a couple of other things. Blowing leaves is cool, but to me this effect is not "vintage" it's a main game effect they put in vintage.
To be my own devils advocate, maybe I'm just not a vintage guy. Maybe I'm struggling to work out why we even have trapeze artists, and how I could possibly use them, given their "background animation" non-dynamic format.
Anyway, I'll keep building. That's all one can do in times of DLC uncertainty! [big grin]
