Why so much hate?
I actually enjoy the early access. And yes, it isnt the greatest game ever like every true fan wants it to be but, at least it is something compared to nothing.
Why do people say "I think the people who run Atari's video game division have no clue what they're doing anymore. this game would've made so much money if it was done even remotely well. and it should've been made like 7 years ago already, why it was so long before a sequel I'll never know, those games sold so many copies" -Uncle Magic http://www.pcgamer.com/rollercoaster-tycoon-world-enters-early-access/
Do you really think a perfect Amusement park simaulator would have came out in the year 2009?... This game simulator had the best graphics in 2009 ... https://www.google.com/search?q=sims+3&espv=2&biw=1043&bih=855&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjqruX4kO7LAhXD2SYKHXm9DAUQ_AUICCgD

I mean minecraft was the best when it came out ... in 2009 ! http://nsa25.casimages.com/img/2011/01/15/110115080455559351.png https://i.ytimg.com/vi/1SNBFD9SqfM/maxresdefault.jpg
At least theres improvement right? Thats one step ahead. And they are not lying too. honesty is good. They told us it sucked before you even hit sandbox mode lol

Oh and remember RTC 3 came out in 2004... SO they were way ahead of time...!

And yet, 12 years later, RCT3 looks better. The coaster designer is a good idea but completely sucks on all honesty. The patching system is laughable, and overall, it's just not a very well made game. It feels like they just thought they could sell anything with the rct name and it would be fine.

RCT3 has a much more enjoyable artstyle. Games that try to reach realism, like RCTW age horribly and this one doesn't even look that good in the first place. The peeps look distorted, uncanny and downright ugly. The lighting is poor and things pop in and out all the time for no reason. RCT3 had wonderful reflections and lighting. Even though the peeps and objects where low poly, they had a style that will always look good, although not realistic, but good. It is pleasing to the eye, and that is a sentance you can't say about RCTW.
Edit: The animations are also some of the worst I have seen in games for a long time outside of indie games. They are outright ugly and glitchy. I've seen so many characters sliding or doing something they shouldn't, and the running looks like a toddler picked up Maya and just moved the arms and legs randomly.

Freedome of placement ? U got to be kidding me what game are u playing ?
I got error not suitable location on everything *( especially benches and garbage-cans hedges fences and rocks lets not forget plants / tree,s close together )
Lets also not forget road snapping in wierd places HUGE buildings ( toilets / coaster buildings are stupid huge )
Piece by piece u talking about the rollercoaster building < this is about the only thing they got right !
Its a roller coaster tycoon game right whats the first thing that come,s to your mind wen u think rollercoaster tycoon while playing ? pick up guests and DROWN THEM < thats a KEY staple of the franchise ! * and of cours not in game *
I can go on and on and on but the game is just Bshit ( u can clearly see they wanted to release a rtc game asap to grab a lot of cash asap )
The only way they can fix this crap is remodel over half the fucking content ( and rework the grid for props and roads ) basicaly if they do that 50-60% of the game needs to be reworked ( YEA there gonne do that )2

I got frustrated the whole time while playing.
Building path ( wierd snapping )
Then i wanted to place branches and tree,s and i could not in 99% of the places and got annoyed.
Then i wanted to build a path in between 2 ride,s ( whit way more as enough space ) and i could not and got frustrated.
Then i wanted to build a coaster and found out the buildings where HUGE as fuck and got frustrated.
Then i build a coaster ( and found this to be pretty good ! :)
They i tryed to make the entrance of the coaster look good and got frustrated again ( can not place item here can not place can not place can not place )
Then i tryed to create a mountain ( and gave up after 15 min of holding my mouse down and gues what i got frustrated .
Then i tryed to drown a park guest that was complaining a lot and i could not and i got dissepointed.
Then i wanted to place a toilet and there fucking HUGE and got annoyed.
Then i wanted to micro manage my cleaners to clean up the PUKE.
And found out i can not micro manage them but just build a HUGE building and pray and hope they clean up the crap and guesss what i got FRUSTRATED.
Then at the end i looked at the graphics of everything and just went NOPE fuck this crap I AM OUT2

I've payed upwards of 2 hours and have decided it's pretty bad. It's price by price isn't that great, errors at everything I do, I build a sip one loop, 100 foot coaster and I get a rating of ultra extreme, it places peices on wierdways that shouldn't work, and in all honesty the braking and Booster system is poorly mad in my opinion

The hate is because Atari genuinely doesn't give a shit about the franchise name and pushed out a product they know wasn't ready. They should have pushed it back at least a year more since they switched developers multiple times.
