After the official game play trailer fiasco, I am officially excited for this game again.

The game was looking piss poor half a year ago. I'm really glad to see the new developers turning it around. I might actually play this!

Don't - beta testers confirm it's buggy as fuck, steep learning curve with unintuitive features, and zero support for modding.

Fuck every single person that paid full retail for access to that beta. At this point, I don't even want this game anymore. Planet Coaster has my attention now.

Welp. RIP RCT.

It really bums me out. This game had so much potential. I don't get why they had to go and redesign everything. They could have left the coaster building tools exactly the same as in RCT 1 and 2 and nobody would have complained about it.

Because we aren't the target market. Nowadays the demographic that pays money for Candy Crush is what drives most of these poor decisions.
I was hopeful they'd take a page from Cites Skylines book and actually give the fan base what they wanted. But nope.

And there's even more still going on in the nedesigns community for RCT2. I meant the game in the public's eye. Of course it'll live on in the hardcore fans' hearts.

Nope! Just plain jane RCT3. I won't be getting Planet Coaster until at least the official release (November something). Are y'all interested in seeing more?
