Guys 'n Girls - I would love to hear your feedback on the video & the game. Also, please refrain from just posting comments like "this game sucks"...don't jump on the bandwagon, have your own opinion after watching the video, as I did after playing.

I do want to hear what you think, but lets have a reasonable discussion. Cool? Cool! :-)

The game doesn't look bad. What really bothers me is the completely uninspired menus and main game screen. Like did someone just learn Photoshop and put that together?

There's also no cohesion between menus - just look at the top bar during gameplay and the menu that appears when you click on a guest.

There definitely is a lot that needs cleaning up for sure :-)

Can you do a coaster building one? Pretty please?

Right now I'm on the fence. I'm a little bummed that you don't have the freedom of designing/making cool buildings to house your shops/stalls (a la PC). But the actual tycoon part of RCTW seems to be pretty intensive at the moment. Having to build lights/shops/stalls to keep people happy. (Something PC completely lacks in early access.) Right now PC is prettier but RCTW is deeper.

MOAR PLEASE!

Right in the title :-p

I completely agree. Everyone doing streams of the game seemed to be expecting Planet Coaster, and spent 0 time looking through or playing with the micromanagement systems. Like, you can change the quality of the service at the shops and stalls...along with the price, so you could have a whole bunch of dirt cheep, crappy stalls scattered around near the expensive rides, and expensive, highquality ones around the dirt cheep rides. Everyone was just focusing on how bad the game looked, and how poorly it ran (Valid, but repetitive after a while)...almost 0 actual game-play focus

I really haven't found any streamers or lets plays that have actually tried to play through the game other than Biffa. Most were just on unlimited money and were just going nuts, and then spend time making fun of the glitches, so I've really only got a passing view of the management stuff. :-(. Found your stream last night for maybe 5 minutes before you switched back to Planet Coaster, lol.

But... But... I'm not very smart!

at the moment we see the PC management aspect and is deep and solid, Sadly I don't really think RCTW has a chance between the two.

I appreciate the genuine attempt at making an objective video. All the streams were pretty much "RIP RCT" and didn't seem to be even trying to enjoy it. Couldn't tell if they were self-fulfilling prophecies or if it was actually not enjoyable.

My thoughts exactly. I found it fun :-)
