City Builder or ....

[NorthStars]

My two cents:

1. The basic traffic model looks like a lot of fun to play with. Not totally realistic, but close enough to make it super-enjoyable.
2. I agree with the folks who are pushing for better-looking on-ramps and off-ramps. I hope this becomes a priority.
3. Guys like Quill don't have 25 years of experience thinking about or working with city builders... a lot of us here do have that, or close to it. He may be lousy at road-building, but I still find his stream interesting enough to keep watching. After all, he has the experience doing interesting live streams... which is a skill that most of us lack completely!!

(OK, that was 3 cents... consider it a 50% bonus...)

Traffic management looks to be a big part of this game and I am OK with that - as long as the simulation is good of course, which it appears to be. It shouldn't be too easy to master and consider how little time Quill (and everyone else with it) has had with the game he's not done too badly.

I like Quill's commentary but I really don't understand why he kept demolishing literally everything. Treating the game like a City-Destroyer, not a City-Builder.

I really didn't approve of the city he built it either looked so unrealistic, actually worse than a "New-Town/Garden City" in reality, with the road network that stands out in the center of the city. And little network of towns (which he said he WOULD do a couple of weeks ago). And the populace was constantly complaining? But I guess that is a thing of preference of how you want to build. But he could of shown off Skylines better, in my opinion.
What he showed us looked like SimCity.

Everyone who thinks the traffic is broken, based it of Quill, he says himself that he sucks at road building. Check out Skye Storm, his roads are much more logical and thought out better before.

Quill barely used mass transit and when he did, it was done poorly. His on/off ramps practically force cars into each other as well.

You have to think when you build roads. Roads are possibly the most important think in a city, like the veins in our body, make them wrong and the whole thing goes to ....

"Everyone" does not speak for me, I saw the same things in 3 streams including the one I'm watching right now (kingknongor), quills insanity aside there are some issues that need addressing.

Yeah well it's a good thing these issues are popping up already, these guys aren't given the game to just "stream" they are given the game to play-test as a closed external testing group, hopefully the devs can start fixing most of the issues before launch.
