So, what do you guys think? Obviously this game is an evolution from the original, very different feel to it as the devs transition to a less-intimate "macro" city-builder. I'm fascinated, personally.

Imo i think there could be potential for pergaps repealing laws? That would be an interesting concept. Also i think it would be cool it we had more than 2 factions at the same time Edit: by more than 2 factions i mean the base. I alredy saw workers and lords in options so it would be cool to see how the game would look with all 4 active at once

@Wafelkowiec Ай бұрын

I can see people being not too happy with the new direction, but personally I like idea of "progressing" and not simply rehashing first game.

@CF-or3ci Ай бұрын

In my opinion they did the best possible concept. They didn’t just make an upgraded version of the first one(because it doesn’t need it). They made basically different game but connected in the idea to the first one. And if you want to play something like the first game… you have the perfectly fine first game to replay

@rageagainstmyhatchet Ай бұрын

Yes, I'll agree with that, and I'll enjoy both, but I was hoping for something bigger/better, as opposed to something different for different's sake. There's a middle ground in there, I think... But I still think this will be good.

@TheHorzabora Ай бұрын

Hyyyyyyype! Doot! Doot! Edit: So at first I was put off, but actually I think they’ve done an amazing job of making a Dieselpunk city builder in terms of the basic mechanics. My only significant gripe is the auto-generated roads that go *crazy* places. Please let us edit these so we can better shape how we want the city to look… I don’t think it’s impossible to survive, you just need to build colonies. Which makes sense, although I do question the use of the buildings if so much value is placed in colonies. Which… don’t look or ‘feel’ as cool. Okay. Maybe that 300 day storm is intentional. It does seem as if just like Frostpunk, taking the moral high ground is clearly the best option. You can crush people below your booted heel, but… you’ll just get less.

@Gingerperson1234 Ай бұрын

It's definitely possible to survive, the temperature is only slightly lower than the first whiteout you're hit with, you can also see that the temperature will rise. Part of the issue is that the beta limits some of the research, like I'm pretty sure the generator upgrade research would help quite a bit, but it's not available in the beta. The other part of the issue is, like you said, outposts/colonies. This game definitely requires a much bigger focus on exploring the frostland, as your resource deposits are limited. I managed to find the location of the oil just after the first whiteout, but discovering it immediately ends the demo.

@EraserNZ Ай бұрын

not going to lie, i did not like the way they have scaled things up. I liked to watch people walk out into the snow to build and collect things in the first game. this feels like people are just a resource like coal or wood and not living people.

@tobiasbayer4866 Ай бұрын

I had the opposite reaction actually. I thought in the first game humans were just another ressource which fit in witht the theme of surviving at all costs. Yes you saw them but really they were still disposable and subject to you whims. Here it feels like the concerns of the population matter more in the grand scheme of things. The people are given a voice. Yes its more abstract but you are no longer basically a dictator. You are a politician.

I hope the developers really did that on porpuse; they give you the beautiful side of the new game great graphics, the whole social problems, the new building mechanic, ecc... Until they hit you whit a bat composed of the reason why "The city must survive at all cost" quote beacame a staple in this game. And they do it in the most brutal way tbh.

@WhoLeb7 27 күн бұрын

I absolutely love that they actually made the second part more of a continuation of the original. It’s not just the same game with the same problems, you as the steward have made your way through the early stages of a settlement and managed it to the best of your abilities and now that the population has grown (massively that is, I managed to survive the great storm with 20 people I believe), you face new challenges in the face of politics. That is what you want to see from a sequel, development. Well done by devs, and a nice preview, thanks!

I decided not to play the beta, and wait for the full release with the story and what not, but I am very grateful to hear your insights! So far, I am liking what I'm seeing. The interactions between different decisions, the dynamic government with external pressures and back-and-forth decision changes, the effect politics has on infrastructure... I've always believed the best part of Frostpunk is the societal drama, with the city builder being a backdrop to demonstrate the causes and consequences of that drama, and I think Frostpunk 2 will excel at that!

i have to shake my head every time i hear someone say its "just a beta" and "not representative of the final product" and "things may change". to remind people what a beta is: the point where all the games content has been put together, story finished, mechanics implemented, etc etc and the game is ready for final testing just before it is pushed onto the market. thats right its the phase where the completed game is tested and polished but otherwise its in almost a completely finished state. with that said i cant wait, love me some frostpunk

Yeah that was my biggest gripe with what I saw so far. It doesn't really tell you much information whenever choices are given as to laws and policies people are asking for. Same thing when you are negotiating. There were several times I accidentally promised a law that overwrote a different law I did without remembering, making people mad. Negotiating also doesn't let you see all the options so you can pick and choose when debating on laws, so I need to back all the way out, find the law they are wanting, and see all the choices and their effects before making a final decision about negotiating. Aside from that, I actually enjoyed the game a lot more than the original. I'm very excited for when it comes out!

Judging by the number of shadowy figures at the bottom of your screen, there can be quite a few factions. Although some of them are so close together that I'd guess they are mutually exclusive.
