my thoughts on citiesxl platinum
(1/5) > >>
Titanium Man:
so on the humble weekly bundle, one of the games was citiesxl
just putting my thoughys about it

the graphics are pretty good, but nothing extraordinary
the ui isnt good and the main menu looks like someone took a stuff on my screen
the music is really eerie and unfitting
but what I really hate is that the game follows a free to play, farmvilleish style
leveling up. it makes the game look like stuff. its if you do x you unlock y. im pretty thats not how such a city sim should work, you should have complete freedom over what you build thus having many types of unique flexible cities. yeah this really took away most of the fun. i wish i had my old simcity 4, but I loving lost the disk

Going to be honest.
1 - We didn't need a review.
2 - The form of the review is poor.
3 - A lot of this is really just babbleflaff.
4 - I wouldn't really come to someone like you for a review, especially if it's going to be presented like this.

The game is fun though and I really enjoy it. You brought up 1 or two points that slightly peeved me, but nothing else really seemed to be a major problem.

Try to fix up your typing, grammar, and study into games more before you try venturing into the hard world of being a critic for things on the internet.

why do you think that you always have to use proper punctuation, grammar, etc on the loving internet? the internet isnt just some giant english homework assignment. it really takes longer to do all that stuff that doesnt really change anything. and look at 75% of all the people here on the forums, they type the same as me

I played over 7 hours of the game. and dont tell me I didnt study the game enough to enjoy it, no game should have to be studied in-depth for 30 hours to start being enjoyable. im just listing the main things which stood out to me. and hard world of being a critic on the internet? what, am I supposed to go to college and get a special degree to have an opinion on something? lol

uuuh, what? - It's me saying you presented this like complete monkey ass.

Typing like a child who just got on the internet is not going to get you anywhere.

To the second part, it was more of a sarcastic toss at how you just aren't generally good at what you tried here.

Overall, if I was looking into a review of this game and wanted to see whether or not I wanted to buy it. This would not be what I depended on. This is like asking a child to explain Star Wars in complete detail to someone who has never seen it.

gj writing responses inside the quote

1 - "It's like making a megathread that no one will post on for you to just say why you liked something. Kinda pointless."
what the forget? i made multiple threads like this already. people left their opinions too. its not like a whole thread which revolves about me. i just put down my thoughts. is it like, wrong to do so now?

2 - "Then it's not really worth someone's read then is it?"
with this reasoning every single response from a non-professional critic (amazon reviews, etc), is useless

3 - "But if you want to be taken seriously especially in a situation like this. Typing like a child who just got on the internet is not going to get you anywhere."
lol are you loving serious

4 - "Fine you played the game, but you presented this like you played it for around 5 minutes."
i only like to play games that start smoothly and nicely. if the first 5 minutes make the game look like stuff, im gonna assume the rest is stuff. to me either the whole game is bad or the whole game is good.

ok, i get it, you like the game. but i dont.
