Earlier today I installed CorsixTH (Open Theme Hospital), and it deleted all the games (folders\files) in my selected install folder. I reinstalled the deleted games so all is well now. If I ever install it again, I will choose a new folder with nothing in it. I checked the forum, and no one else has experienced this, so I guess it has only happened to me. Other than that, it works great.

>One central station?
You ALWAYS want to have just one station. Over-lapping stations mean a fuckload of problems.

>how do you organize your trains once you have a big network going? mixed freight/passengers?
Depends on map, really. If it can be avoided, I pretty much don't do freight. Passengers generate enough revenue to keep things going without doing anything else and/or keeping freight away from the same rails.
And if I have to mix, then it usually is a token pessenger cart added to 2-3 SHORT carts of goods. If I'm hauling shit like gravel, with super-long carts, I don't want to have anything else in the train. Weight is pretty much meaningless for 20th century locos

>Do passenger trains make sense post-ww2?
Main source of revenue, regardless of year. So go fucking figure.

>I'm gud but how do I git really gud?
Play good maps. No, really. Pretty much anything made by Nick Bennett is good. If you can manage with his scenarios, then you git gud. They aren't "hard" in sense of meme hard, but they do require a clear planning and understanding of the game mechanics, while in turn offering nice challenges and very well-designed maps.

By what metric are we measuring "best" by?

The one that sees the most people come back to it year after year with the largest community? Either Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 or Open Transport Tycoon Deluxe.

The most fun City Builder? Sim City 3000.

I love the second half of the layout. You should make the mid course brake run a real brake run, ie. 5 tiles long. The first half is very cluttered and intense, followed by a long downtime as the train circle the whole spaghetti bowl, I'd try to spread it out slightly.

A while back Atari tried to kickstart their shitty mobile RCT for the switch, only with the twist that you are actually investing your money, so IF the game got funded people who donated X or more would actually get a small percent of the money earned from the game. Under the Q&A section they stated that they do not plan on ever porting RCT classic to the switch or any other platforms at all even if the kickstarter and game made a billion dollars.

I'm am sure you can guess that the kickstarter failed and everyone called Atari a bunch of jews.

The one on switch is the same game only without microtransactions. It is $50 and I'm sure you can also guess that it's a huge pile of shit. Not only are there limits to how many props, shops, and rides you can put down but rollercoasters do no have physics at all. Anything you build, and I mean anything because they didn't bother to put any limitations or checkers on the coaster builder, will work just fine. IF you want a million loops with no hills go ahead. Do you want 90 degree turns that clip through the track? Sure thing!

It's an awful game that even runs like ass on the switch despite it looking like shit and having HUGE limits on the amount of items you can build in a park, and parks are already pretty small.

It's practically Rollercoaster Tycoon on the park management side, one difference is rides will lose popularity over time and you get a couple bonuses for having your ride/queue surrounded by scenery.

When I would play RCT I wouldn't take the time to actually pretty up the park beyond endless expansion, but this game encourages you to take time and work on the scenery which leads to me spending more time than necessary which hasn't happened before runon sentence

Step 1 is to get the 4chan content pack from the OP, you'll find a lot of really cool maps and tracks in it, as well as some fun meme parks. I think it's called the /v/ pack or something. If you have RCT1, you can point OpenRCT2 at the installation and it'll suck over all of the content and you can play it there.

I enjoy it but the way facilities work is still a huge pain in the ass.

I guess it could be worse, frankly they are the only people who seem to really grasp what OTTD does and improve on the track laying mechanics of it.

Any love for zoo tycoon here?

[Anonymous No.5270519]

If i want to play Zoo Tycoon for the first time which one should I play?

[Anonymous No.5270541]

>>5270519
The second one with expansions. To answer >>5270072, I feel like Zoo Tycoon have aged much worse than RCT but it's still a nice game and one of my childhood favourites.

[Anonymous No.5270982]

>>5270541
I never quite got into Zoo Tycoon 2 the same way I got into the first, but I have a fuckton of nostalgia for the original. Yes to any expansions, though. Zoo Tycoon as a series has great expansions.

I play ZT1 and I agree. There are so many small things and a few bugs that just break the game.

>Many animals have secret requirements or their requirments are complete bullshit.

Only gripes about ZT2 is that there,are,no big buildings like the Aviery and restaurants and the,ugly 2005 graphics but that's it.

Yeah ZT2 was in the same age as RCT3. Early 3D game graphics have aged like garbage.

[Anonymous No.5275778]

>>5275284

For some reason we could never get enough people to keep threads alive for long. It's really weird since games like Cities, Planet Coaster, RCT and buildan gaems in general are still so huge and have such active communities elseware.

[Anonymous No.5275814]

>>5275778
It's because nobody is angry at citybuilders (except for the SimCity autist) which is a key component to having thriving videogame threads on 4chan

[Anonymous No.5277054]

>>5275778

It was too hostile to new players. People would post screenshots of their cities asking for advice on how to improve them, only to be insulted and told to kill themselves by some posters because they used a grid layout or built something messy.

[Anonymous No.5277141]

God, what a legendary dumpsterfire of a game.

>>5277583
I pretty much never buy at launch. If you wait like 3 to 12 months or whatever, there'll be some patches, the game will go down in price, and if you're inclined, some DLC might be out (whether you think they're worth your time or not).
Of course, for some games it's just hopeless, like SC2013

[Anonymous No.5277690]

>>5277659
Sim City and Rollercoaster Tycoon fans alike have been burned by recent titles in their series. Thankfully other games have stepped up now that the "official" series are just nostalgia bait/bargain bin filler.

But what when you get to the point that there's so much traffic that trains can barely move around the stations? Or am I doing it wrong if that happens?

Great game, shame the passenger mechanics are broken as hell. Trams don't really work (they fill up right away and don't make any money if you have more than 2 or 3 stops). Also I don't much like the bridge/tunnel building mechanics, makes flying junctions a pain in the ass.
Shame really, it feels like they barely tested it, or only under quite specific conditions. With a bit of tinkering it could be 10/10.

Why would that be a bad thing?

[Anonymous No.5282924]

>>5282891
It's way too easy to play with a grid layout and it looks boring. Therefore it triggers the autists.

[Anonymous No.5283241]

It would help if these games had better building mechanics when it comes to slopes, because otherwise it's always better to just bulldoze the land and build a grid on a flat plane.
