Eh, I'm eh about it thus far. I was kinda excited yesterday, today, not so much.
Ok so we can fish. It is fine, I suppose. I suppose I'd be just as excited if it were a gold mine, diamond mine etc. as well. Just not that excited, sorry. Same basic principle we already have. So for me it kinda falls flat as it is the same as we already have (ore, oil, forestry & farm), but different. So how will having dozens upon dozens of ships/boats affect puter performance?
And it does not matter like corn or apples what type of fish you have or don't. To me, eh, it loses some of its importance as a DLC when there is zero difference as you make/produce the same regardless. So that tells me I don't need anchovies and tuna as they are all unseen resources. Therefor IMHO, the new maps then lose some of their importance as it simply does not matter. It does not matter if you have corn or oranges like it will not matter if you have tuna or shellfish.
And water pollution? Does CO really think this is a challenge? It is not a challenge. How can it be? Is there a person alive that plays this game that doesn't know by now how water pollution works? They act as if it is some type of huge challenge not to have your fish get polluted. I'm not following this at all.
5 more maps? So more maps with more water, less buildable area?
I'm not going to comment on other aspects of Sunset Overhaul until they are released only to say, trollybusses? Busses with overhead wires? If so, you just made my head hurt
Any performance upgrades?
Fishing Grade:
C
I think it is going to be a drain on my rig and my frame rate is going to drop playing with fish. The boats on the water the trucks on the roads, yeah my frame rate is going to take a hit. (Then again when I add all those private planes and private copters, I'm sure they will all have a positive affect on my frame rate!)
New Maps... their functionality, will be the same as any other I already use. I can't grade them yet but I will.
I'm hoping that in the upcoming days I'm left more jazzed than I am after today's announcement. I'm not dissapointed but I'm far from excited.
