Holy shit this game is addictive. Most addictive game I have ever played. Anyone else also addicted?

i can't imagine playing this on a controller

You know it works quite well actually. Although I never played the PC version so I dont really know how it compares

My city is $20000 dollars in debt so I stopped playing

You can use a wired mouse and keyboard on this as well. I haven't tried it though. I also found the controller to be fine for me, but I can see why people would prefer a keyboard and mouse

I think you can disable money

I built one city and never felt the need to play again after that

I actually really disliked Cities Skylines. Wanted to like it, but it had so many elements I hated that I just wanted to go back to SimCity 4 again. If I want a sort-of SimCity addictive experience, it's time to pull out Factorio.

Yeah in the beginning it can be quite overwhelming and you have to look up a lot of stuff but once you know the basics it becomes really addictive

>demand cycles for commercial/industrial zones lead to huge swaths of my buildings being abandoned

What the fuck am I doing wrong?

Should I pick this one if I want to emulate my city response to crimes?

Thats because there is no challenge.
You can not fail at anything in this game

This. I played on a toaster, there was a delay after every movement/action.

Sounds like you are squeezing all those zones together and pushing residential areas to the middle of nowhere. Think GameStop locations vs Best Buy.

I definitely got that feeling. It just seems to be an endless cycle of build residential, commercial, industrial and back to residential again with occasionally building more water or power. At the end the city feels pretty soulless and I can't imagine you'd be able to tell two cities apart from ground level

like everyone else who played the game, you built blocks of residence sectors all at the same time so your population is dying off/getting old and retiring en masse

cities has a shit ton of fundamental dumb issues like this
one of the worst is businesses leveling up despite not having the right workforce for it

>place water, electricity
>place industrial zones, commercial zones and residential zones
>add a school, hospital and police station
>goes in fast forwards while I think about what I'll do next
>go bankrupt for no reason
yeah ain't gonna waste 30 minutes with this shit again

Yep first time its really overwhelming, you have to read a wiki first because there are so many factors that have an effect on your city. But you can turn on unlimited money

>took them years to finally give players a way to address the endless landfill cycle and it's unbelievably inefficient

Always do the exact opposite of what the Residential demand bar is telling you. When there is no demand is when you should be putting down huge swathes of Residential zone so that the houses aren't all developed at the same time.

Have you tried not being a smooth brain. How are you actually struggling with this?

I love this game but I'm too paranoid to play it. It's such a CPU/RAM hog.

>playing on a console with a controller and no mods
Sounds like hell, honestly.

Manage your taxes and budgets dude.
At the start of the game you can easily turn the budget for all resources down to the lowest possible amount. You'll see a significant money boost from that.

how many (if any) of the DLCs does the playstation version have?

I wanted to play it on PC with mods.

How is the ps4 port?

>overwhelming
That's not the reason. I've outlined some of the reasons before but a few:
>mods to be reasonably playable, power and traffic horribly broken
>everything is super off-scale and plasticky looking
>not as deep as SC4
>extremely unoptimized
>zoning extremely limited--only street-side buildings, no putting different types together
>freight rail simulation even worse than SC4
Could go on but I never liked it

>yes
>yes but don't over do it
>no need for hospitals or police stations until your citizens are getting raped and tortured in the streets, save those 50k to build roads and water pipes, wait for the economy panel to unlocl
>rise taxes
>still in debt?
>rise taxes again, ask for the biggest loan
>now add the hospitals and police stations AND then fast foward

Its not that bad at all, but again I havent played the PC version so I cant compare
I think all of them. But the base version also includes After dark

Nice try, Cities: Skylines employee.

If you treat it more like a sandbox+traffic simulator it's better, but as a city management game it's pretty damn poor. Better than SimCity(2012) or whatever, but nowhere near the greats. Mods improve it as well, but never make it a real management game.

Just for once I want a game where I'm not Mayor Dictator, ordering everything by fiat and just having everything grow prosperous and green and wealthy. And RCI is a dead meme that doesn't reflect how cities grow in the least.

Is the game even playable without mods?

Seriously asking, I mean the game is literally free. I might as well try it. But I don't want to spoil my experience of the game by playing the pleb version.

But then again, simcity on SNES was fun.
