I'm gonna be the negative one here, and say I think it looks bad... the 3D models doesn't hold up for the style, and I'm getting bad "Mighty no.9" vibes here (makes sense since Inti Creates are developing it..), and that ended up as a sad imitation of the original, even with Keiji Inafune behind it.

A game like Blasphemous look 10x better IMHO.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyWell, I dunno about in the game, but in real life they can be handy in very hilly areas where roads have to meander and grades are too steep for rail.

No doubt, I meant in the game :) Building on top of a steep hill or mountain still requires roads for services, but sure cable cars might be faster as in the real world. My initial feeling of them is just that it is rather niche and more for spicing up the look of the city.

Quoting: Nor MantisAt this point I will buy anything this game puts out. Love it.

Me too, love this game, except I skipped Natural Disasters. This expansion is awesome though, really happy with the new possibilities and updates. I'm curious about what the next DLC Colossal Order makes will be!

Quoting: KimyrielleDoes the DLC also enhance existing mass transit options? Like the subway, which is pretty lackluster in vanilla?

I agree, it is disappointing that they didn't add a simple multiplatform subway station! Almost half of my stops are two stations across each other... The new train station is nice though, and there are general improvements, such as the awesome "Line details" view. Spacing of the vehicles on the line also seems much better now.
Edit: I forgot to mention a huge feature: the ability to change the number of vehicles per line!

As for the new transport options I've only added blimps to my current city, and I think they are a cool option for some specific locations - and they look fun and adds great visual scale to the city, but I'd be careful not to flood the sky with them... I really look forward to plan out and add monorail lines to my city, and maybe a couple of ferry lines. Cable cars I'm not sure how practical they are.

I bought a Razer DeathAdder Chroma and like you Liam I was very happy with it. After a bit over a year, the middle mouse button suddenly stopped working, and reading up on it, many people have issues with Razer products build quality. I know I was just one of the unlucky, but I'm turned off of the Razer brand now as I expected it to last longer, especially for the price.

I've been scouting for another, hopefully "for life", quality mouse that won't just break out of the blue, and I might go for the BenQ Zowie EC2-A as it is completely driverless and highly regarded, or maybe the cheaper Logitech G102/203.

While geeking out on researching mice, I found this youtube channel [External Link] and I found it very helpful.

Wow, I didn't notice this game and release here at all, but by coincidence I read this article [External Link] and thought: "I wonder if it's on Linux..". Came here, searched and bam, there it is! Day-1 no less. Makes me a very happy penguin to see the indie scene continue embracing Linux, and that the chance to find a game like this on our platform is so high. Much respect to the indie devs, and Ethan Lee of course!

Now all I need is more disposable income and time to finish some games before buying more..!

I look forward to playing this game (need to complete some others first). Love the art style, very refreshing seeing something clean and cartoony instead of the overused "retro" pixel-art look.

I'm also excited for this DLC. I saw a multi-track train station in the video, so I really, really hope they will include multi-track subway stations officially! That would mean more to me than cable cars.

I also hope they have updated to Unity 5.6 with Vulkan support :)

I was very close to buying Dirt Rally a few days ago, so this Easter sale is a nice surprise! Though I feel a little bad for Feral not getting the full amount...

Unfortunately the game doesn't work with my PS4 controller, but it's fine with the PS3 controller (even if all button icons in-game are Xbox ones..). Also got a warning that my PC isn't up to snuff, but the game runs and looks nice.

Yay nice! Big ups to Yacht Club Games! Shovel Knight is one of my all-time favorite games, and the gameplay is different and fresh with Spectre Knight (as well as Plague Knight). Incredible that this is a free update to existing owners.

Quoting: TacoDeBossWh-Why did it go from 13 to 17???

I guess you can call it "ubuntuism" or the more old-school "FIFA versioning". 17 is the year the new MESA is released, and I guess 17.1 will signify the first update of the release that year.
