You can't even zoom very far out to get a lay of the land. I have a decent machine, and it doesn't perform that well with this game. The graphics have not improved substancially.but the processing has. I was hoping for RT3 + sandbox mode (remember that? yeah, we used to have that), but with better strategy (you could never beat the computer in the stock market).
I was hoping to hear some thought on Railroads, because I bought it today, and I can tell.good God it is awful. I haven't been on this forum in a while, because I grew frustrated with Civ. Trying to make them appealing for everybody is not possible, but thats my take on things, I dont mean to be so negative on this post, but after playing RT1 RT2 & RT3 u come to expect better.
SID MEIERS RAILROADS XFIRE PC
I read somewhere that PC Games sales are dropping every year, dumbing down the greatest strategy games is NOT going to help. from coast to coast trough praries,mountains, valleys, rivers, and all kinds of terrain. In RT3 I loved just trailing the train with the cam, and admiring my railroad empire, and feeling the grand scope of the U.S. Well for right now ill fire up RT3, and hopefully in the future there will be a better release.
I didnt see an editor, but maybe theyll add one in the future EP. Skyscrapers and modern buildings in 1800's. Like the previous post said, simplification of stock market. Loss of micromanagement, there isnt anything to do after a while.
Small maps, no more grand feeling of connecting the Nation or regions or accomplishment. Im not going to bore you guys with all the complaints i have but the major ones are, Whoever said Sid Meier isnt programming any more, I believe you, this feels like a dumbed down Railroad Tycoon. I am very sad to say that Sid Meiers Railroads is getting uninstalled off of my hard drive at this very moment, after playing it for a few hours. (Immediately after playing it, passing out at 6 a.m., and then waking up, of course - despite the flaws, it's got the addictive gameplay qualities we know and love in Sid's games - there are serious flaws, but it's still INCREDIBLY fun.) RRT was the first computer game I *ever* bought, so my reaction to SMR was pretty visceral and instant - more thoughts will pop up over time, I'm sure, but this was one of the few times I've had to go on the internet and "register my thoughts" on a game immediately after playing it. The first impressions post linked to above goes into huge detail about issues with the routing system - but if you hate how it works (or *doesn't* work!) on "hard" mode, it's a Very Good Thing that they include easy/medium modes to balance things out. If you put one of your trains on competitors' tracks it would probably *never* get anywhere. It may ultimately be a smart move: your OWN track gets horribly congested with your own trains. The inability to use your competitors' track is a throwback to RRT really (I think both RRT2 and 3 let you do that). I was HUGELY disappointed to not be able to borrow money anymore (issuing bonds), but the game seems to let you build trains and stations(?) (but not track) even when you run out of cash, so that partially compensates for that. The "auctions" for patents and industries are a cool new twist which compensate for castrated stock market part of the game. There are some nice new twists - in the old game you'd get a bonus to be first to connect to a city - now you have to connect AND deliver a certain type of cargo to get your bonus, adding more nuance. How you ultimately feel about SMR will depend on how much you "miss" the things that were stripped out vs. While this may ultimately be a good move - I can imagine many people get turned off by the complications of the earlier stock market simulations - the thing is, the old stock market simulations were basically an entire game within the game!
SID MEIERS RAILROADS XFIRE UPGRADE
If anything, there's much more variety on the diesel side - which IIRC kinda topped out at like 2 for the US scenarios in RRT.Ī nice switch is you get money back when you scrap track/trains and when you upgrade engines, you apparently only pay the difference.Ī huge disappointment is the HUGE simplification in the stock market - rather than pay out dividends (RRT2/RRT3) or have stock splits (all previous games), in this game there's only 10 units of stock per company - worth 10% of the company each. The variety of trains is actually pretty similar to original RRT - a few names have changed, a few trains have been added/deleted - but the classics are there:
