This is a great price for the Standard version. Will last another 10 hours or until they are out of keys.
You will spend many, many hours with this game - so you will get a lot of value for your money.
Enjoy.
The deluxe upgrade pack is $2.50 on steam at the moment.
I'm pretty sure the deluxe version actually doesn't include any of their actual DLCs.
Just some landmark buildings, a different soundtrack and artwork. Not worth it in my opinion.
Good game, much better than that trash called SimCity
Brilliant game. Poured many hours in it and there are awesome mods such as the metro to elevated rail, and map extension that expands the build area from 9 squares to a monster 25!
I played this during the free trial last weekend, and found it a bit too difficult, and lacking in some areas. The citizens seem too demanding - they wanted power, water, sewage, rubbish collection. After building all this stuff, I found myself losing money at a huge rate. Eventually I went broke. The day/night cycle became annoying as it was harder to see things at night.
Do you have power, water, sewage, rubbish collection? Do you consider yourself demanding because of it?
Maybe visit your council and thank them for providing all of this without charging you a lot more than you pay as maybe the rates do not reflect the true cost, just like in the game?!
;-))
Fair enough, but in Sim City they don't demand all of this stuff right away (except power). Adding those things will increase land value, but people will still move in without it.
Well, Sim City is very unrealistic then. Unless you are wanted and want to hide, I cannot imagine anyone wanting to move in anywhere without water, sanitation, and sewage.
Just rise to the challenge. It is a different game and once you figured it all out you might enjoy it.
Well in Sim City, the idea is that you are starting out with a small town, village even. Then it grows over time and gains more services, and eventually becomes a city.
@MrZ:
Well, treat Cities: Skylines as a Chinese real life situation: they plan cities for millions from the outset and then build them. No going through stages of village, town, small city - they design them big. ;-)
In Cities Skylines they only demand services as they are unlocked, as you grow your city.
You need to lower the utility budgets to their lowest and gradually increase as demand picks up.
Sounds like you expanded too fast without gaining positive cashflow first.
bah missed out, still US $7.49 at Steam though, ends 20 Feb
Its published by Paradox, so there's still heaps of DLCs out there for the game not included, and they aren't cheap.
