yeah it was a real shame they completely missed the mark on the management side of things. That's what always makes the tycoon games.

That’s why they’re not called tycoon games.
Soldato
you're not wrong, I get that, just meant the old stuff these guys did.
yea they are games for children, all graphics, shallow as hell and utterly boring
Caporegime
Well I think you’re wrong. The depth of building options makes them fun as hell. Planet Coaster is one of my favourite all time games.

I wouldn't say that, the lack of management side of the game doesn't detract from the amount of creative sandbox content it has, unfortunately that doesn't appeal to me but I can see why people who like to create in games would see the appeal

Preordered this. Had to get the deluxe version as I want that Komodo Dragon.
The crap I spend my money on!

Looking forward to this one. I wasn't too bothered by the lack of management tbh.

If you can throw irritating little scrotes into the Lion pens, this is a Day1 purchase.
Ha! Similar story here! Can't wait!Preordered this. Had to get the deluxe version as I want that Komodo Dragon.

There should be a DLC with Owen Jones, Nigel Farage, Gemma Collins and Katie Price.
Mind you, they’d probably be full after Gemma.
LOL i would purchase the Gemma Collins DLC

Today's supposed to be the first day for beta access, but I can't even download it yet.
4pm apparently.

Well I've started it, and enjoying it to a degree, but it's a bugfest atm.
Keepers wont fill up empty food and water bowls, hungry animals don't eat or drink. My warthogs are on deaths door because they wont eat or drink. Performance is also sketchy atm. I'm getting 40-50fps at max settings, but it has horrible stuttering problems. Sometimes, it just freezes for a second before going again. Probably nothing that can't be sorted with a driver update though. I've got a 2070S coming tomorrow, so it will be interesting to see if that's any different. It's very demanding though. Don't think you can play this on an old system.
On the plus side, it's extremely charming and easy to learn. the animal animations are great. Go close up to a tiger that's just come out of the pool and the wet fur animations are fantastic.

This is an unfortunate game to be buggy. I apologies profusely if this sounds sexist, I don’t mean it in that way at all, but this game is being played by lots of girl gamers, most of them young, and quite a lot of them don’t seem to realise that a beta game is basically a fault finding process to prepare a game for release. Therefore, Twitter is full of sad gamers saying how it doesn’t work properly and they are uninstalling it.
I must have sent about 20 tweets already explaining that this is a testing process and all problems should be reported via the dedicated website.
I have already seen this game automatically download small patches about ten times or so. They must be working on it constantly.
