Oh just a little heads up. After your first refund on Steam. Its extremly had to get another refund. Also Cities XL was alright. If anyone is going to buy this game wait till its on a mega sale.
I don't regret anything...
other than the fact i bought into the XXL social media BS...
Cities Skylines has way more going for it..
It has more buildings, environments, maps, landscapes and more ecological options.
Plus it has workshop support on Steam, allowing public mods to be included.
The engine has been changed, it uses APIs more efficiently to stop memory leaks from before. But thats the pre-release version people have been getting to show it off.
I have only played it about 4 hrs, simulation type games are a bit meh for me, but still got picked for testing... at least I will give them bug reports, others have just been playing it and not reporting bugs etc.
Also in all fairness you can't watch a youtube video or a stream and think.... damn this is crap... because people have different PCs, if you watch a video of someone with an older architecture of hardware playing it - it will look slower.
So far it has been ok for me, and it does have a 64bit version so will use more RAM. And a game like this needs as much RAM as possible. Because each person, car etc has its own AI on where to go etc, that will push your system.
People who have Cities XL can get XXL for half price, so its not like it is breaking the bank.
You were silly getting a refund based on a video, think a few others said the same to you on Steam, yep I saw the thread there.
the previous games had a built-in cheat menu.
does this also?
best,

Hi everyone,
hm iam just dissapointed too because i dont like the new building menu and the sound really sucks compared to cities xl 2012
There IS a cheating menu like in the games before but whats missing again is the cheat for a better balance.
i think youre right you have to play it some hours to build up your mind but i quite agree that compared to all the cities xl before there are really not THAT much changes at all :/
i like the game so i will play it but i dont think i had to change from cities xl 2012 to this one at all.
give it a chance perhaps you will find more changes in the later game.
