LGR - Cities: Skylines After Dark Review

No need for the political jabs.

Michael Hogan

I really need to go and put some more time into Skylines in general, and this really looks like a great addition. Got to give them props for supporting it well (and yeah, $15 totally sounds like a fair price for what they've added to be honest).

I was just happy to give my money to such a great company but overall I've loved the expansion!

Ben Sanders

Ah I was thinking Youtube had something against me as Cities is one of the games I also love (And purchase after seeing yourself and Nerd Cubed play it!)

Christopher Smith

Well, after doing everything besides cutting the plastic rivets and disassembling the whole thing I am pretty sure that the problem is a bad trace, as the affected keys all connect back to the same trace. I went so far as to soak the inside of the board in distilled water to clean out any crap that might have accumulated. No improvement. I could cut the whole thing open and repair the trace with conductive ink, and then bolt it back together (known as the bolt mod), but since it's not even a real IBM keyboard, I think I'll just put it in my "someday" project pile.

Damn, I didn't know they added so much! def worth the $15! great video.

I asked you the other day for advice on a mechanical keyboard, and I ordered one... it's on its way. However today at a garage sale I picked up a UNICOMP model M clone for a dollar. It's got a membrane and buckling springs... unfortunately two strips of keys don't work :C 4rfv and 5tgb don't do anything. I tried taking it apart, but I can't fix it. Do you know anything about that stuff Clint?

It should be fixed and viewable now!

LGR

There are a number of improvements to the simulation, yes. But it still has its quirks and things needing attention, though it's a far cry from what it was on launch.

LGR

hmm I can't view this, get a message saying "We're processing this video. Check back later."

Christopher Smith

Sounded to me like there was no improvement in actually simulation or did citizen stop to move directly next to a chemical plant to than get sick of it, while when they work at it they don't get sick.

Hmmm, good thinking. I think I may just start a new city after getting some more tips on how to make a city work, but I guess it depends on what parts of the gameplay I should improve on. I certainly made plenty of mistakes along the way with my first city (though it's not a complete failure!) and it would be nice to start over, especially with this expansion in mind. I just wanted to learn on my own first :)

Very easy to add this new stuff to your existing city. Though you do miss out on unlocking the new things gradually, so it's a fair amount to wade through if your city is far along!

LGR

Ahh man! So much to do now... and I feel like I've barely scratched the surface of the original game! I've been playing my city on and off for 2-3 weeks and I am almost through all the milestones with a great majority of the unlockables unlocked, but I feel like there is so much I still haven't tried! I was kind of relearning city builders, which I haven't seriously played since I was a kid with SimCity 2000 and 3000. Would you recommend starting a new city for the After Dark stuff, or is it not that hard to get this new stuff implemented in a previously made town? Either way, I bought the expansion the day it came out - 15 dollars seems amazing for games of this quality these days, even if it's just an expansion!
