Anybody else thinking about Stardew Valley for an old 8-big looking gaming fix? It sounds interesting.
I like that game a lot, but then I also liked the Simcity games in the past. I need to upgrade my PC though, my 6 y/o rig can't handle the game when I start to get over a 40k population.
I also love all the mods and assets the community has been making, you can find some really awesome stuff on Steam for the game.
Did you get the DLC's too?
I was going to get some of the dlc's, but the winter one didn't have great reviews and the After Dark one didn't seem to have too much that wasn't already added into the base game. I might pick them up at a latter time when I get more into the game. I think I already like it better than the old Sim City games. I've already got about two dozen things from the Steam Workshop for it. I like that it feels more like a real city than previous city simulators where you can see individual people, traffic, and individually check out people's homes.
I'm still waiting to get my town's population up, as I'm only at a few thousand people. I don't like playing something like this for short spans of times and work gets in the way until the weekend. I do notice you have to be patient in this game. It's easy to blow the budget if you're not careful, and it takes a while to build it up where you can advance the city more with a modest surplus of revenue. I also noticed that unless you both know what you are doing and can plan ahead people are going to have to level a lot of their city to better organize it when it gets bigger. I'm already starting to have a problem with traffic for example. Roads seem like the hardest thing to do right for a novice, and might be the most important part of the game. I also am going to have a problem with my landfill filling up to capacity before I can get incinerators.
