Title: Planet Coaster - Early Access Starts 3/22
Post by: Grim.Reaper on March 16, 2016, 06:36:16 PM
Looking forward to this one, seems like it could be a nice distraction....early bird access starts on 3/22, but pretty steep price of $75...

I was expecting an Elite expansion about coasting between planets. Apparently not.

Yep, I caved....no will power, even when price is high:(  Graphics are really nice but a lot of optimization needed yet...controls take awhile to get used to, but haven't put a lot of time in yet.

Your lack of impulse control is to be envied and held up as the gold standard around these parts  :)  Why is the price so high, i wonder.

Yep, can't deny it...

This game is from frontier, same as elite which had high cost to get in early.  I am sure money needed to keep it funded, but they often say it's high to only encourage hard core people to join.  Who knows:)

Roller Coaster Tycoon world hits early access next week march 30th.I had high hopes for Theme park studio but that seems to be fizzling. I still play and enjoy RCT3 with mods.

Just started playing RCT3 with my daughters this week. We are looking forward to when Planet Coaster gets released.

I'll tell you one thing about RCTW, especially compared to Planet Coaster.....it just feels "Old and Slow".  Not sure how to describe it, but feels clunky and graphics very unimpressive.  I have no idea how they thought this would be released last year...haven't really played around with the actual features much, but after even a quick look around, not sure I have much incentive to really play this one over PC....and PC is still in Alpha.  I will give it much more time, but I think it has a ways to go.....

RCTW is pretty much getting ripped by users. I'll probably stick with RCT3 until PC gets along farther.

Pretty impressive what someone built with PC......

That is pretty impressive. I looked around but i see its still about $70, i dont see me paying that. i'll be all over it when it gets cheaper.
