Very surprising. The game looked like it had a lot of potential and could've been the most popular sims alternative, but it's suddenly been cancelled.

I guess no game is better than a shitty one, but can someone please make a modern sims game that's not EA and their endless DLC crap.

Without endless dlc? Who do you think Paradox is???

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Paradox's current DLC model is pretty nice, tbh.

I mean, you say that, but a new player looking to get into Stellaris or CKII is looking at a $300 bill if they want all the content. In fact that's what prevented me from getting into Stellaris, I own the base game, but when I discovered I'd need to shell out an additional several hundred dollars, even during a sale, for not only new species but just for base game mechanics, I stopped in my tracks.

Compare with Civilization, I own Civ V and Civ VI and all the released content for each, pretty sure I bought each of those for less than $20.

I did see an announcement earlier this year that they were folding some DLC into the base game for either CK3 or HoI4 because it was difficult to balance the game with all of the different DLC permutations possible. I think it would be smart of them to do this in general, maybe after a DLC is past a certain age, pull it into the base game.

I still have hope for Paralives

I'm keeping an eye on this but I really hate the anime blush on every character

[–] Kraiden@kbin.run 1 points 5 months ago

Lol, I'm not sure I'd describe it as anime, but I understand what you mean. Personally I quite like the aesthetic of it. It makes them feel just the right amount of fake to me that I won't feel bad deleting the pool ladder. I can totally see how it would bug you though. Hopefully it'll be easy to mod out, or at least turn down.
