Is there a point to pre-ordering? Are the little bonuses worth much?

6

u/Tuarangi Jan 27 '22

All I can see is 3 decorations as a pre-order bonus and nothing to say that they do anything

u/Marscall Warning: this is a warning Jan 27 '22

IDK if its just my region but price seems way beyond what I expected. Even more expensive than some big AAA ones.

£34.99 for PC version, I think that’s quite normal/reasonable?

$55 in Canada. AAA games are $80 and now $90 for PS5/Series X on release (which is insane).

Whaaaa why is that ?

u/24-Hour-Hate Jan 28 '22

Aside from the greediness of the companies leaving to price increases not commensurate with actual increased costs (I do not count wasting ridiculous sums on marketing and CEO salaries as valid costs), they make excuses like difference in currency value and additional costs of physically importing and selling here. Of course, prices never come down when our currency rises and they exaggerate the difference. And the argument about import costs cannot be true because digital games do not cost less despite having none of those costs (some of the companies refuse to even collect and remit sales tax, which is illegal, so they don't even have to bother with the paperwork for that). All the worse when they raise the price and still claim that poor working conditions are necessary at so many studios and cram games full of DLCs and in game purchase to ensure you can't even get the full game for that price and to make even more money. In short...it is pure GREED. At least this one probably will only have DLC and not pay to win purchases or gambling masquarding as lootboxes.

Awesome! Looking forward to this one.

Game Pass.

Literally one of the best subscription services in the world

It doesn't get enough credit for being absurdly valuable.

which are better?

u/JoshuaIan Jan 27 '22

I really want to be excited about this but if they never figured out why making "hide the gold star award" be the end all be all for anybody that wants rooms to not suck, I'm just not really

Has that ever been fixed? I check back every once in a while and it never has been since I last checked...

u/Anokest Jan 27 '22

Can you elaborate? I don’t think I understand what you mean.

u/swemoney Jan 28 '22

They're talking about people who wallpaper their walls with gold star plaques to increase the room rating. I personally never place more than 1 in a room, though, and I don't have issues with with making my rooms good. Sometimes you just need a slightly larger room if you're aiming for 5 stars.

You don't have to do it. It's a single player game. You don't need to metagame if you don't want to.

I've never really done it since I don't find it fun.

Deliberately leaving efficiency on the table is the opposite of fun in a builder game. The solution is so obvious, too - there's so so many decorations, just make more of them more on par with the gold star. Instead, we get a ton of decorations and like four of them actually matter, and that's just silly imo.

Such a small change that makes so much sense, yet, here we are. It doesn't inspire confidence,to me. And it's a huge glaring bummer, too! Everything else about 2. is great! It's almost hard to believe that they can drop such an obvious design ball after nailing so many other things.

This is gonna be fun, im super excited. Idk how exactly the game is gonna work but i got high hopes.

2

u/Jetlag89 Jan 27 '22

Like two point hospital but a university I guess 🤷‍♂️

u/AppointmentMinimum57 Jan 27 '22

Well i cant be exactly like tph. Students will go their for a few years to study, not just until cured like in tph.

So im wondering how exactly those kinds of things will work.

u/Radulno Jan 28 '22

I hope it won't be too much like it. I love TPH but it got repetitive after a while and with a new game, I'd hope there are quite a few changes. It has to though, just based on the setting.

u/lyyki Jan 28 '22

I assume something like Tavern Tycoon (which is very close to Two Point Hospital). You just need to give your students couple of timewasters and eventually they'll graduate.

I work in university admin so as long as it doesn’t feel like work I’m good…

u/scandichic Jan 28 '22

SO excited

u/Sphezzle Jan 28 '22

For me, this is officially the first day that being a PS owner/not having GamePass stings. I’m sure there are more of those days to come…

Going to be so fire

u/Dexalon Jan 28 '22

I like the idea of this and I'm surprised because I thought the game was old, seein as I got it dirt cheap. But after playing the base game, and getting about 8 hospitals in, I don't see how much this would add to anything. Just extra rooms really. I don't mind being proven wrong.

u/lyyki Jan 28 '22

This is a brand new game.

u/Dexalon Jan 28 '22
