I'm lazy.

What a completely random game to update to HD.

I would have preferred Mob Rule, personally. And then, tangentially related, Gangsters: Organized Crime.

Constructor is a pretty good game.

That character art on the cover looks too serious and realistic... it needs that derpy 3D to fit with the tone:

Don't worry that's just cover, I'm sure like any lazy HD "remake" they haven't actually touched graphic assets in game.

Actually I wonder how will difficulty look like. Constructor is pretty hard game, no chance of selling that in 2015.

I'm more curious about the SJW reaction to it... it was very critical of pretty much everything. Poors are filthy and dumb scum, rich are snob and dumb douches...

That's one of the "everyone heard about it" games I never played. Is it actually good? I understand it's basically a Theme X/X Tycoon game?

While I dislike GOG for selling games that should be free, I consider atrocious the practice of removing games from GOG when they want to sell HD "remakes", or selling them on another distribution service including copy protection.

The game could have been a very good and unique tycoon, but it has one huge problem: the game demands way too much micromanagement. You must constantly take care of your tenants (they're always complaining about this and that) and of enemy threats. The amount of micro that you have to put up with gets proportionally higher as the game advances. It should have had some more automation functions to help you on later.

I doubt this HD release is going to improve the gameplay in any way though. Shame, because it could have been one of the classics of the genre.

Contructors difficulty makes Dark souls look like easy mode

Since I have my trusty CDs close at hand I still play Gangsters: Organized Crime and Constructor quite regularly. Both of them run like a charm on my modern degenerate machine and the only problem is the lack of widescreen support. While the distortion isn't exactly horrible, it would be pretty swell to have the authentic aspect ratios restored and play the games as the Gods intended. My only fear is that some slimey Trent Oswald fuck will emerge from the bush, "machete" the code of the forefathers and rape and savage the classics beyond recognition, or as the defiler himself would say, "enhance" them.

Why would SJW's care about content of this old game? They're mostly interested in political leanings of people who make games stuff more than anything. Joss Whedon is prime example, in theory they should care very much about content of his movies but they don't since he's on the circlejerk.

But that's GD retardo stuff so let's stop here (or take it to PM's if you're so inclined, not sure what you would want to discuss or why though...).
