me when im tired of living in the worst urban hellscape on earth so i escape to videogames where i build the worst urban hellscape on earth
🗿🗿🗿🗿
The key difference is that this time you get to play God.
Americans be building this and see nothing wrong with it 😭
It has to be this way, if there isn't a parking space, nobody goes to your shop. We don't want to live in apartments on top each other and walk for efficiency. City life is stupid.
@@BenBinnebose sure, not everyone wants to live in high-rises or big apartment complexes. However, dense housing can also be single family, and mixed zoning can allow for those unable - or unwilling - to drive to still have access to easy food and amenities without delivery. Also, good public transit and cycling infrastructure has been proven to reduce traffic, making it easier to drive for those that want to, reducing the need for as much parking and making it more appealing for pedestrians.
@@BenBinnebose it's stupid until you realise that getting into your car for doing simple tasks such as taking your dog for a walk requires driving for 30 minutes in heavy traffic
@@aggro_beat That's why we have parking lots, because we live outside the city and drive in. I'll never live in a city. Suburbs are close enough.
@@BenBinnebose lol but parking lots is what kills city centers!
me when I replicate the worst urban design in my games ❤
Did you know: every civil engineer gives up 1 lane before fixing traffic.
adding bad design in some areas is actually really fun imo, it makes your city more real and takes away from the stress of making the "perfect" city
@@catwitz i guess it's like handicapping yourself on purpose to give you a different challenge
i agree it can be fun
@@aggro_beat i wouldnt put it that way but sure!
Vast swathes of unoccupied parking is the authentic North American experience.
I admit to having a sensible chuckle at 'affectionately known as "stroads".'
I ❤ stroads
@@CitiesByDiana Watching your satire videos on tik tok and seeing your official tutorial for a stroad is absolutely hilarious
@@zaneraza4044 I mean I had to tone it down a little but I can't control myself: I yearn for the lanes.
Yup 10,000+ deaths a year due to the influence of greed and stupidity sure is hilarious
The german word for this is "Betonwüste": concrete desert.
And it's absolutely disgusting. Reminds me of Houston in the 80's
It's glorious. LaneMan approved!
2:13 already traffic jam and she just started LMFAO
Gotta trust the process 🎀
It happens in most US cities, mine for example has this type of urban planning and yet the traffic is terrible to get into the Downtown and attractions
This is a certified laneman classic! Strode probably could’ve used a stacked interchange to make it a truly iconic Diana design.
I love how I can tell who gets it and who doesn't by reading the comments section 🎉
Where is the combination 30 lane Popeyes-KFC-Taco-Bell-Buc-ees
@@ninyaninjabrifsanovichthes45 gonna happen whenever asset support comes out
@@CitiesByDianawe truly need to be able to import 128 lane highways 😢
Traffic jam on trumpet interchange perfectly summarises the state game is in 😂😢
I mean there's no lane math
@@Proope_gglane math made sense in CS1 cause at least the traffic flow was predictable.
No, it was just missing the acceleration lane for the joining traffic.
@@mygetawayart it wasnt without TMPE
@@Proope_gg it was though. In CS1, because cars would only have one parameter to calculate their route and only changed it if their route became unavailable, you could reasonably predict what way the cars would always choose. Plus, you could see the path an agent would take from beginning to end (or all paths used by agents passing through a segment), so not only was it predictable, it was also plainly visible. In CS2, agents have 4 or 5 different parameters for choosing a route, a route which you can't isolate and view because that option doesn't exist.
This looks like Hell. Glad we dont have this were I live.
More Lanes please
also in NA, traffic signals are placed on the opposite corner of each intersection.
these huge cranes are not suitable for the construction site of single-storey suburbs, sorry for my bad english. May developers create alternative design for construction site with little truck crane etc?
So walkable, so good for the environment, and so colourful with all the concrete grey empty spaces
Stroad hell
I hope Steam Workshop comes back. I hope so because I spent many hours playing the game, about 400 hours that we want to return for some modifications, facilities and aesthetics in the game.
You'll have that feeling satiated once Paradox's mod platform launches.
yeah, in 11 months LMAO@@gwohlers
@@gwohlers yeah but when? lol
@@TheKartoffel101SoonTM
@@TheKartoffel101 2024
While I appreciate Cities taking a shot at NA suburban with this crappy design, it's not crappy enough to really capture the feel of suburban sprawl.
You are so wrong for that. Our glorious Freedom Lanes are peak human experience. We need to add 30 more lanes to accomodate the giga-Taco Bell. Glory to LaneMan.
All I needed was LaneMan to make an appearance for this to be complete
Just one more lane.....
It’s great that you were able to make something fun and creative with limited assets. After watching this I’m inspired to make a strip mall or plaza that can double as a park-‘n-ride for buses.
So basically way to much parking just like North America 😂
I'll like this more when we can have the ability to put the traffic lights on the opposite side of the intersection, like in North America.
can we have two story townhomes and the ability to have repeated suburb buildings in a neighborhood
"Public Beta version of code modding and Paradox Mods will be available in the live build by the end of March"
WHAT????
Is the game fixed ? last time i played was on launch and half the things didn't work as intended. I had no performance issues, but stuff like train not exporting was a annoying bug. Is it fixed? should i come back to the game? or wait a bit more?
Keep waiting brother
I, too, love building North American style cities full of strip malls, stroads, and parking lots.
This is beautiful...
Hi, great sugestion, one i wonder , why my HD buldings not cross lavel 2 and have everthing in nabor :)
建物がいろいろ良すぎて前作のシティスカにも来てほしいぐらいだ...
There definitely need to be a road types pack in the future. Especially ones with two way middle left turning lanes.
3-3 roads just don't have the right look.
Now 3-1-3, 4-1-4 or 2-1-2 roads will be the perfect fit for the job.
This game needs some DLC's, i hope there will be a few available this year
Zoneable parking lot DLC pls
Beautiful!!! I approve 👍🇺🇸🅿️
Is the game gonna be released on mac soon?
There are currently no plans for a Mac version, but we are making note of the interest for it!
Just add one more line. This time there will be no traffic jams, I promise
Looks great, will give it a try once i get a new computer to be able to play CS2.
This game is shit. U will be bored after 10 hours. Remember my words. For the price u get Cs:1 with all dlcs and will have more fun. But do what u wanna do
@@KrayGraphicsTM I have 100's of hours in CS1, is it really that bad?
But, does it loose money like in real life?
I think Cities Skylines forgets that everyone playing this game is interested in urban Design, and although some people will just want to create true-to-life cities, a lot of us want to produce the BEST cities, which means less car reliance and more pedestrianisation. Of course its already possible to play the game like that but there is an abundance of car-centred assets and the game is built around the North American grid. Look at most British city centres, especially London, you won't find a single 'parking lot'. Perhaps the occasional multi-storey but almost nobody drives into London. Creating an equivalent city in this game is really difficult without a lot of DLC.
Im pretty sure the majority of people wants to build THEIR favourite city. What is considered the BEST city for each is subjective, most of the time people will take heavy inspiration from their home cities. Also the principles of neo-urbansim shouldn't be taken as the norm, most people don't hate cars as much as some people from the NJB community do and there are many other factors that determine a good city
Is CS2 still broken? I noticed it still has "Mostly Negative" on Steam.
Nifty!😎👍
New Urbanists take this game way to damn seriously. 😂
Auto Mall, where there is one Auto Dealership there are usually 15 more so all automobile companies compete in the same area or street. Strip Mall usually occupies whole blocks on each side. And make all the parking lots full during Winter for Holiday shopping. 🤔🤓😬😂
I can make an Australian STROAD with this knowledge. Sydney you ready for some Parking Lots - Parramatta Road looking at you.
The stroadiest of stroads
Will the mods be ready by the middle of February?
Too many pedestrian paths and too walkable to be American
How tf is this an inspirational build😭😭😭
Me watching this while doing studies in Urban Planning at University... 😰🥶😭
why are comments off on some of your videos?
Pls make north korea style city too
So many stop lights. America needs to embrace the roundabout.
I swear, if you're not yelling at the viewer THIS IS PARODY every other sentence, everybody just assumes you are endorsing whatever you're depicting. Please, everybody, stop for a second and examine the context
They don't get it. How can they? They simply cannot fathom using a holy conduit such as the Ford F-450 to commune directly with God.
Diana! 🎉 I was really hoping you'd sneak Lane Man in somehow. 😅
The Muscle Car Garage is really a junkyard? And this was included in the SF package because? The assets in this game leave a lot to be desired. $90 down the drain.
Thats a lot of parking places...
Now you have to just bring some real low res American buildings into the game. That‘s still a big disappointment for all of us…
Imagine minecraft full of dlc and no mod, that would never be the best game ever sold.
But in the wolrd there is game to make money and game to be played, unfortunatly SC 2 is not in this one.
When we going to get of free Mod like movi it and traffic management
Would look better with a Walgreens built on top of a highway overpass
Are you referring to that one location in Nevada?
@@GamingBren Yes, in Reno.
RENO MENTIONED 🗣️🗣️
I can almost smell the stale air that hasn't touched a tree in the past mile.
American style Districts are wellknown for catastrophic city planning and unhabitable Citys. The question, why you would want to built something like that comes to mind.
because it's fun
It's a game...
@@Bigcat457to most people it's more than that. And even if it's just a game - why would you replicate a terrible design that'll lead to worse outcomes IN the game
@@fraizie6815The same reason why RTGames makes sewage volcanos and sends meteors onto his city. It's fun. Not all of us are hardcore city planners. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@Bigcat457 yes I get that, people use it to do all kinds of shenanigans. Though when you try to make a realistic, functional city - why would you want to copy a bad example from the real world and implement it in your city
Personally think the game could use a quest style direction for new players integrated with a more in depth tutorial, like when you start what style of city you planning, and say 10 quest pop up 1 at time helping new players learn different style citys instead of permanently looking for guides online for hours, instead of actually playing the game
experience builds skill
Shame CIMs hate using parking lots, so as realistic as it is to have them everywhere, they’re typically empty in the game
Love it!!! Thanks for the inspiration :-)! You have a new subscriber!
Great! Perspective.
Too walkable 😂😭
Heck yeah strip malls galore 😍
You guys probably need to hear this, but I love your game! And I can’t wait to see what comes!
This looks like Albuquerque😂
Ah yes the American urban hellscape :D
more lanes
I can't stand seeing the zones not sticking to the roads properly in this game. 😭 Pls CS Team, fix it! 🙏
really nice
Pleas add tropical maps or palmes
Yooo Diana
4:36
Literally American cities
I don't think North American Style Commercial and Imspirational should be used in the same video title.
where is the console release?
I’m losing my excitement to play this game
Not enough parking lots and too many sidewalks.
Zoneable parking lots when?
Great job @citiesbydiana. This looks great!
Yay glad u liked
Me: This is normal
So you’re showcasing the worst form of urban planning to help kids learn from history’s mistakes, right?
Right?
Cities skylines 2 on PS5 PLZ!!
Xbox is never getting this game 😢
Can I actually play this game yet? I was so excited and it runs so bad :( :(
Not yet unfortunately, it's such a shame
Its not the performance what sucks the most. Its the lack of content and love to detail.
Amazing. I hate it
Let's gooo 🎉
🎉🎉
That you trying to muscle in on a spot in Imperatur's vids D? ;o)
That neighborhood needs more cul-de-sacs
What
@@Itsatrap365 A cul-de-sac is a dead end street with only one and the same inlet and outlet.
@@wyntoniscringe is that German? Are you German?
@@Itsatrap365 It's mostly used in the US
ok is a base for a very late game commercial area, when u have unlock all commercial signature buildings, because with 29k of population u can't have unlock without mods/dev mode. okai strange video but ok
When console release??!! (Sad face) 😅
Factory workers are the most likely targets for inflation because the government has a long list of labor shortages and unemployment rates to blame for the rising costs. They have a hard for you and the people who are working hard for you and you are not working harder for your constituents because they have to be working for you because your constituents have a hard time getting a good paying job because they don’t know what they’re doing. Double the unemployment rate and you are going down the road to get more workers. Triple the job and the job is done. You have no clue how many people work in a day or even one day in a day and then go to the next day and do it all over again for a day. I’m going to go to bed and then go back home to work on my own time to do my homework for a week or so because I’m tired of working and I don’t wanna be bothered 😂😂😂🎉 and it’s a great day of work thing but it’s a 😂 time to be working on my birthday weekend 😢😂😂
🤔 Diana? As in Cities by Diana? 🤨
Yes hi ❤
@@CitiesByDiana - Howdy doo! 👋😆
Ez to do with fake traffic 🙄those intersection will be 100% block points
When console
First release the console edition pls😊
They’re not gonna do it bro I want it but at this point with the game state it will take probably until next year
Here in the UK we dream of large parking areas like this. We have retail parks with lots of shops which is then filled with tiny car park spots where getting out your car is like escaping a prison cell.
East Coast USA here - we have lots of dicey parking situations like that especially an older cities. That disappears as you travel west, however, with better city planning and more space. Our public transit is lacking except in places like NYC and to some extent Philadelphia. For many areas there is no choice except to drive or walk/bike with very poor to no accomodations.
So really this is "How to design a parking lot with a bunch of building you need to unlock much later in your game, but its ok you can just choose to unlock everything right away... and oh wait, you better have bought the San Francisco DLC to make this work!"
Screaming and crying and throwing up.
😱😭🤮
How to unefficient your city
While it is good to let people build styles to reflect their areas.... this is just sad and depressing. People live like this?
Yooo 4th
