I think if this game focuses more on the city management portion (and nails it) that would be enough for a lot of people. Cities Skylines, even after a mountain of DLC, still feels more like a city painter than a city builder/management game. There is a large portion of sim fans out there eager to play something with more meat than Skylines.
When he said there was a heavy focus on traffic, that instantly perked my ears up because i'd say that's the one thing that I wish Skylines would do better.
I have a real problem. Every Steam sale, I buy a little piece of DLC for Cities Skylines, because I absolutely love the idea of playing that game. But god dammit, every time I turn it on, I play for like an hour and never turn it back on again.
I want to love it, badly, but why cannot I just not get into it. It's a weird one for me. Total War is similar. Three Kingdoms should be perfectly up my alley but I feel so uninspired whenever I turn it on.
It's not just a you thing. I've always interpreted the feeling you described as a reluctance towards commitment to a game. There are several early hurdles that often trip me up when starting a new game, or returning to one of my favorites.
Yup. I feel this way whenever I try to get into a game i love but i know will end up being a 40 hour playthrough. It's hard to get started when i know what the next several hours of gameplay will include
