I really love Planet Coaster. How does Parkitect differ?
EDIT: what the shit did I just watch
Parkitect is more like the first two RCT's and is much more focused around management than PC is.
Thank fucking god for Planet Coaster, Parkitect and RCT Classic and OpenRCT2.
Atari, please fucking die.
Planet Coaster is more creative and more similar to RCT3.
Both are godly in their own right.

Basically Parkitect is to RCT2 what Planet Coaster was to RCT3. It's a spiritual successor to RCT2 featuring the same isometric-style camera, but with modern graphics. Haven't personally played it yet, but everything I've seen of it looked great.
OP, I am this person's lawyer.
That was also the worst thing I ever watched.
*closes briefcase, leaves*
You know what i dont understand, people entering this thread (and other similar in the past) and saying things like "I hoped..." or "put the original game in..."
Guys, RCT is dead, Atari is a zombie, and best thing of all, there are better alternatives right now out there, modern and old.
Why are you asking RCT to get better if you have 2 INCREDIBLE spiritual successors that are RCT in all but in name, Parkitect that caters your RCT1 and 2 nostalgia, and Planet Coaster that caters your RCT3 nostalgia (this last one even made by the same people FFS), and both imporved 1 million times over it RCT predecessors. Not even adding that RCT Classic (a mix of 1 and 2) is already in mobile for you to purchase, or that you can get a GoG copy of RCT2 and madke it the improved OpenRCT2.
Is a shitty name so powerful to all of you?

They pull out the game from Steam and GOG a couple years ago, I check in the last steam sale, I end up buying Planet Coaster but I didn't like as much as RCT3. The only way to buy an original copy now is buying keys from shady sites.
Mmm, this is really strange, I could undertand if you were a fan of 2 and 1 not enjoying Planet Coaster that much, but not enjoying it as much as 3? Its just a much bigger, better made version of 3 with limitless possibilites before custom scenery, and now that it has, the game is even crazier. Like, there was even a non resolved "bug" (not a bug, but it was a problem with the groups system that was never resolved) were guests never really queue on the rides, something that the group system in Planet Coaster, solves (as it simplifies it, treating them as a pack instead of individuals).
They were pulled becuase of the lawsuit. Atari owes Frontier money (2.2 millions in fact), Frontier has the rights for RCT3 (game and full name with the 3 included), but not RCT (name and franchise, strange I know), so I suppose theres the conflict and how Atari could pulled it from steam and GoG

For anyone who had even a shred of hope entering this thread, you can buy ports of the original RCT ("RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic") on Android and iOS for $5.99, they don't disappoint
Okay I haven't laughed to tears like that in a looong time! Thread redeemed! XD
Idk, maybe is just nostalgia of some sort, to be honest I don't play RCT3 for at least 5 years but it was one of my favorites games, and I just tried out the Planet Coaster Vanilla, didn't play (or buy) any of the DLC. But I really liked PC, just not as much as RCT3, maybe I didn't get into enough (and seems like have few pre-build options like shops and etc, idk).
Oh I'll look into this.
I had a craving to play Zoo Tycoon recently but it isn't on GOG and I can't run Planet Zoo :(
Somehow I missed the "when I was young, playing candy crush, it got me through tough times. " part so the rest seemed quite serious, duh.
Did you enjoy the creative part of RCT3, or just more plopping stuff around and managing the park seeing guest go around it? RCT3 was worst than RCT1 and 2 in that case, but that doesnt mean you cant find and enjoyment of it in that way.
I say this becuase the most powerful part in Planet Coaster is building your dream park, making your own buildings and theming your own rides, "wasting" 10 hours just using the scenery items thinking of them outside the box to create anything you want. If you dont fully go in in that way, Planet Coaster is a hard game to love (and I love it, ive got more than 2000 hours on it, but I also know is not everyones type of game). I say this becuase from the "prebuild options" you are saying maybe Planet Coaster is not the perfect game for you.
Maybe I can recommend you parkitect, or even Planet Zoo. Those 2 games are more heavy in management, and the gameplay can be really plopping stuff around and seeing your park grow. In fact Planet Zoo, even if its animals instead of rides, maybe is more your style (planet zoo does have the wide creativity aspect Planet Coaster has, but becuase its an actually better management game, you dont need to be a super creative person to fully enjoy it).
