LGR Plays - Cities: Skylines Flood Challenge

[@DivinityOfBLaze]

Elementary School, noise pollution: 0. LIES!

[@Evansmustard]

The steam workshop really makes this game so much better for me. Your road systems are very impressive. That is one thing I am terrible at.

[@LGR]

The Workshop is awesome already, yeah. And thanks!

[@NolanAlighieri]

God....Lazytown (or whatever it is you called it) puts my town to shame...My town has a lot of negative space, is not very tightly packed at all, and the roads look like they were mapped by a toddler. You should do a tutorial-like video on planning a good city.

[@LGR]

Heh, I knew people would be asking for such a thing. As I said in my video here, I'm not really interested in doing tutorial videos though. At least not right now :)

[@NolanAlighieri]

I couldn't ask for anything more than Duke Nukem giving me City Planning advice. bahahaha

[@MadroxMonoxide777]

Lazy Game Reviews How about a long play of the game without the tutorial-like explanation, and then people can just observe what you do, what works, what doesn't work, or whatever?

[@Skippy19812]

Mine's kind of the opposite. I've got approximately 100,000 people in the space of about two squares. Everything is too tightly packed and the noise from the traffic is actually killing people (which is awesome.)

[@Jellepepe]

its really easy.. the trick is to use six lane one way roads or highways on the sides, with alternating 2 lane one way roads in the middle making a grid pssibly wiht a two lane road slicing the sections if the trfic is really bad. basically like the beach said city part in my city: prntscr.com/6fyabz otherwise make the little neighbourhoods i hve for offices (oneway cicles with 2way roads connecting them)

[@rexthesheep]

Oh no! I wouldn't mind seeing you attempt this again sometime.

[@YumLemmingKebabs]

I must concur.

[@GameHunter3D]

Still waiting!

[@dizzym9554]

What the heck, agreed.

[@cpufreak101]

Just tried tho challenge, got to the 1st island, unfortunately due to no highway connection my coal plants weren't getting shipments so I had to convert to green which took up half my time and all the money, once I got going though, it was too late, so I just built a square with some flood walls and put a tiny community in there so someone could survive a few more weeks, the final 200 just drowned lol

[@arosisgod365]

Nice.

[@CWINDOWSsystem32]

Poisoning your town's water supply? Should've named the city "Flint"...

[@LGR]

Ouch.

[@granderondeproductions3286]

+CWINDOWSsystem32 Like Flint, Michigan?

[@CWINDOWSsystem32]

Anonymous Sailer of the North Exactly.

[@granderondeproductions3286]

***** Hmm, well from what I learned playing this game, never get water downstream from a poo spout. Also, if Flint were in a republican county, they'd make sure the tap water was clean.

[@granderondeproductions3286]

aidan Stenson Fuck you. and your state.

[@kevnar]

Look up a song called Tarawa, by James Newton Howard. Start it right at the 25:00 minute mark of this video. Sit back and enjoy the epicness.

[@updated5709]

kevnar Amazing xD.

[@accgamez]

+kevnar Yes Thx

[@Isayonelove]

+kevnar Really cool! Tried guiles theme too. worked!

[@AlphaCore_]

Thanks, that was awesome.

[@grinch5885]

Holy shit the timing! :D

[@LarryMyster]

I know this is an old video. But the moment you said a person that help made the SimCity made a mod for this game... I was like "Okay, its verified, the developers of SimCity is ashamed of their own product."

[@LarryMyster]

***** Yeah because of EA... :(

[@foxdagamer1061]

+LarryMyster YAAAY NO MORE SHIT SIM CITY GAMESSS

[@Dover939]

+Fox DaGamer More like no more new simcity games at all. It's fucking terrible at maxis was shut down,.

[@hombreg1]

Dover in all fairness... EA must know thstoudhing the drm and "always online" policies on sim city was going to get some costumer backlash. Sometimes I wonder if they do that just to have a contractual reason for terminating a segment of their company.

[@hombreg1]

That pushing*

[@oniinu]

One thing I wish Skylines had was a yearly calendar and progression system. I loved that about Tropico, feeling like your city is progressing rather than simply growing.

[@oniinu]

***** Wut the fuck are you talking about? It's definitely a city builder. I can accept the argument that it's a country-builder because technically that's what the setup is, but it's truly more of a 'country the size of a city...builder.'. It's so much closer to SimCity/Skylines than it is Democracy 4, Civilisation, or Entropia Unversalis.

[@ColeYote]

Well, you succeeded in the challenge, assuming the challenge was to build the new Atlantis.

[@vihaanmaximilian6572]

I guess im randomly asking but does anyone know a method to get back into an instagram account..? I was dumb lost my login password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me.

[@yaelhunter462]

@Vihaan Maximilian instablaster =)

[@vihaanmaximilian6572]

@Yael Hunter thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and im in the hacking process atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@vihaanmaximilian6572]

@Yael Hunter it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy! Thanks so much, you saved my account !

[@yaelhunter462]

@Vihaan Maximilian Happy to help =)

[@glittery_cucumber]

For the first minute, I thought the mouse and keyboard noises were really distracting. Then I started to find them kind of satisfying. Weirdo!

[@DiigitalLove]

Your laugh alone is enough to make me like this video. You're just so delighted that a deadly flood is on its way haha

[@hiddenatlantis]

This made me laugh hysterically! I love being able to watch your "Let's Plays" and feel a kindred spirit of how I like to play my games, ahaha. Keep up the good work!

[@DirtPoorWargamer]

After watching this, I'm convinced this game needs disasters. I know they're planning more content for the future, so let's hope they add the option for them.

[@bow-89]

That'll be 15$

[@BurnRoddy]

18:52 ''You can place some Wayne Enterprises.Just in the case you want TEH BATMAN'' Who wouldn't!?

[@misterscienceguy]

NOT THE DUBIOUS CHICKEN PRODUCTS. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@caitlin5619]

Please make more videos with this game! Even (especially) challenge maps like this one, hilariously entertaining.

[@awsomemodels]

Lazyapolis is probably the best city name that ive ever heard !!

[@SimmerJonny]

This was awesome! I would like for flooding to be an actual natural disaster, as well as including others. I've seen a UFO attack mod, but it was pretty buggy. I would still love to see some tutorials from you about city building, such as traffic or zoning because ya know, I could sit and listen to your voices for ages... Yeah, this just got weird... Sorry!

[@SimmerJonny]

To be honest UFO attacks are pretty much a natural disaster in SimCity lol

[@evanfreudig5200]

One of the modders should develop a Lava Emitter that works similar to the Water Emitters, but only works periodically with much more volume. I see it happening. What is the Sim City Factory designer guy working on now?

[@k-leb4671]

+Evan Freudig Perhaps a volcano that will soon erupt, and it's the player's job to relocate the city, or watch it burn t smithereens.

[@njalsand133]

sim city 2000 had a volcano scenario. Giant hill on fire bursting from the ground

[@biboKralle]

Dont ever design a city like this? :( Damn, mine always look like that! I need a tutorial... ^^

[@RayMoviesInc]

You have to imagine it like a real city. I used to be just like you, but I was focusing on the money, and all of the other stuff that sort of happens in the background. I usually focus on the aesthetics, because when it come down to it, the way your city looks is the main things that matters (at least to me). I started watching tow you tubers, and that's when my cities got a lot more satisfying and enjoyable, because they gave some really cool inspiration and showed me how to just slow down and focus to make it perfect. You Tubers names: Strictoaster and Keralis

[@SmoothEmJay]

I don't know what it is exactly but there's something relaxing about watching clint play these types of game. Kudos, Mr LGR.

[@Moonbeam143]

Forget "Five Nights at Freddy's". Having your city flood is the truly scary thing.

[@mewantscandy]

Please do more Cities Skylines!! It's so entertaining and fantastic

[@OxFFFanatic]

Huh...didn't notice this map till now. Nice find, LGR. Also, glad to see you're in love the awesome water physics as well; *This* is how you implement disasters in a city builder (major props to CO for that).

[@blueb0g]

I think part of the issue was that you wanted almost a month after starting the map before building anything! It certainly seems possible, if a significant challenge.

[@vulcanjoe8258]

The terrain looks like Mordor lol

[@wibuwabu]

17:35 happy little residential zones...

[@yellowstonethepony7769]

Silver_Octopus bob ross

[@spektrum7434]

I loved Motorcross Maddness. I remember that if you went full speed at the outside walls and got up and then went full speed towards the abyss, it would sky-rocket the bike back towards the land, at an insane height and speed. I would have so much fun doing that for hours on end.

[@HeatmanMKIII]

Comming Next: LGR Waterworld

[@ajokay]

Your proper city is the best one I've seen of any KZbinr so far. Looks brilliant.

[@sonnytots]

This video sold me, I have to get this game now!

[@alfiemitchell3026]

5 years late to ask how you’re liking the game?

[@Daleylife]

They need to add buildings breaking apart as well as the bridge collapsing.

[@Putt-Putt]

You made Rapture!

[@nosrep09]

I found the sound of the water strangely relaxing... it drowned out (no pun intended) the idea of poo and dead bodies everywhere.

[@WrathieReign]

I seriously want to see more of this. Like. Yes. That was amazing.

[@wayne-zs8qc]

I know this is old but I first read the title as Cities Skylines Food Challenge not Flood

[@nesrinoz3926]

Your content never fails to amuse me. But this time it gave me chills. Recently I watched a documentary about 2004 Boxing day tsunami disaster. It's just... Dude... Sleep is for the weak anyway.

[@AvidComputerFan]

I have been sold on this game from your review and this video.

[@DynamixWarePro]

I had the TV on when watching this and when I got to the part where you mentioned the water being pumped from under the power plant, I noticed at the same time you said it, an advert for WaterAid came on TV talking about polluted water, so yeah. I am defiantly going to get this game!

[@moongiggler]

DynamixWarePro then his advert has worked.

[@86Timewarp]

Just watching you play this challenge really makes me want to buy this game. Looks so fun.

[@ab-hx8qe]

Id love to see you play more cities skylines! A lets play where you explain the game in depth would be amazing!

[@Gameactive]

Hydro dams are my favorite and worst thing about this game. When they work, they’re an amazingly clean and powerful electricity source. But at their worst, they not only cost money to do nothing, but they’ll flood your riverside high-rises several times a decade, and constantly take out your metro system because the stations are flimsy as flan.

[@inspiredjoke]

Been subscribed to you since...well the beginning and its great to see your still going. Keep up the good work!

[@user-hardbrain]

man really reminded of the Tohoku Earthquake/Tsunami which is really scary indeed.

[@LGR]

It really is. In fact, someone is working on an someone tsunami mod for the game, which terrifies me.

[@SergeantExtreme]

Lazy Game Reviews Geez. Now I'm scared someone is going to make a 9/11 mod or worse!

[@SergeantExtreme]

***** That would actually be cool. Like now you gave me an idea for a kick ass game! You take the building and management of Cities Skylines, and combine it with multiplayer real time war elements. It could be released as an expansion pack: Cities Skylines: Battlelines. You build up your city, but you also have to build up an army as well, and protect yourself from attacks from other players! How would that not be the coolest thing ever?

[@TheLukesterGaming]

I remember seeing a funny little video before from the end of someones livestream, where they built a dam and accidentally flooded their city/neighbourhood, which was quite insane but pretty amusing to watch! That had nothing at all on this though, this was just utter MADNESS to say the least, all those poor people at the mercy of your god-like hands of fate, of which there was nothing in your power that you could do to save a single soul D: But yeah, that was pretty freaking spectacular to say the least hahaha! Really looking forward to seeing more Cities: Skylines videos from you :) Btw, am I the only one who wants to see Lazyopolis (sp?) suffer at the hands of a massive flood like this!?

[@homerunnr2197]

I loved watching this. More lets plays pls. Thanks LGR. :)

[@Glitcher2000]

I'm curious to know if you ever plan of doing a new LP of this game with all the DLC's included.

[@heidirichter]

That was, in equal parts, enlightening and entertaining! Thank you good sir.

[@nemesisthewarlock]

I'd love to see an updated video where you manage to finish the Pondocalypse!

[@MediaMunkee]

0:50 That whole horizontal stretch of road just looks like every attempt I've ever made to tie any kind of fancy knot.

[@Anna-lv2ow]

I know this video is old, but I greatly enjoyed it. You should do more of these!

[@komlev88]

Yeah, you should do another take on this, and make it successful. We all need to see this.

[@Bedinsis]

I could tell that LGR had fun making this video.

[@GanbaMagus]

This game looks beastly. Another game to put on the side for my next PC.

[@Idk-vi6gd]

0-0 you live in Asheville? in NC!?! Oh my, one of my favorite you tubers live in my state!

[@sashimichii]

I love how happy you were when the water started flowing down XD

[@drdos4]

That was really fun. You should try this challenge again!

[@jasperabibas]

Can my Nintendo Entertainment System run this game?

[@ks_ig2728]

Nope sry only for PC/steam (idk if it works for Mac) *EDIT:* Wow, I was so gullible back then! Am I right?! Anyways, you actually need a Nokia 3310 to run this.

[@DCDigitalStudios]

Giga Hertz Nope, you need at minimum a Super Nintendo Entertainment System. I got it to work on my dream cast though.

[@boxn]

I run it on my Commador 64

[@bigixstudios3716]

BoxN Pleaseeee... I use Windows 98 with Dial-Up.

[@foxdagamer1061]

+Bigix Studios I use Windows 1

[@RealGengarTV]

You made me buy this game! AND I DON'T REGRET ANYTHING! :D

[@georgelee9955]

Wow! That's what exactly happened at Longarone in Italy more than 50 years ago...

[@tierneyk88]

I love your laugh LGR! Can't help but to smile and laugh, myself. :)

[@Callam001]

hell this made me wanna play this game, would love to see another video of this

[@ZiMZiLLA]

It is confusing as hell listening to this while playing the game. Keep thinking I placed something when I didn't...

[@ChristopherSadlowski]

Hm...kind of reminds me of some of the towns around me during Super-storm Sandy. I wish the buildings would float away in this game though...they don't have to break apart under some massive physics engine but at least have cars and houses lift off the ground and be carried away. THAT would be a sight to behold...

[@david100057]

A short conclusion: The population still increased till the McDonalds drowned :P

[@Flawcreek]

This video is amazing, it's like LGR is a child again lol. On another note, you should definitely revisit this map, it'd be interesting to see how long you can avoid the inevitable.

[@deedeelong9043]

I appreciated the pure joy as the city was slowly submerged.

[@simoncheatle1266]

Thank you for making this video. It made me check my Amazon pre-order. By doing this I found another buying option that is £1 cheaper and comes on the 18th instead of the 28th

[@GardevoirEx1]

I would love to see more videos of you playing this game. Cheers.

[@deathbringer16]

Just curious, why did you delete your series of lazyapolis? I really found it very satisfying to watch.

[@deathbringer16]

It was a playthrough, so to speak, in which he developed a city in Cities: Skylines.

[@ZebraDancePants]

I died at 16:12 "somebody had too much McDonalds"

[@seanyproductions]

This reminds me of those giant buckets that fill up at water parks but with more death and destruction

[@Kijikun]

would love to see you play more of this

[@RioDragoon]

Did you hear about this game breaking Paradox' sales records, Clint? I'm really happy for them. They deserved it with this game.

[@LGR]

I did, I'm happy too! A half million sold so far, and it deserves it.

[@xx-wp3mq]

I loved that Call of Duty 4 reference - 'Now it's a ghost town' :D

[@the_kombinator]

I fell asleep watching this and dreamt that the world water levels were rising and out of my 16th floor window I could see a foot down to thick, green slimy water. I still had power in my unit to assemble old AT machines though, somehow.

[@argenthellion]

I know this is supposed to be hillarious, but personally I find it a bit terrifying, because this is almost exactly how long it took for our city to be flooded back in May 2014.

[@ShaneLeGrand]

Wait you live in North Carolina. That's pretty cool I also live there not Ashville but Winston.

[@LGR]

Nice, I grew up in Winston!

[@monkeypuncher7242]

Lazy Game Reviews For some reason I always thought you were Canadian. I also live in NC lol

[@poopturdy5914]

Lazy Game Reviews lmao my cousins live in the ghettos of charlotte

[@jasonkrug7928]

Nice I recently moved from NJ to Raleigh NC. I know nothing about Ashville, only have heard it's full of hippies hehe

[@RushGotStax]

JW Dimes lol I live in Charlotte too

[@stop08it]

this shows quite well how deadly flash floods can be

[@ViralVenom]

This video inspired me to buy this game. Thanks lgr!

[@GBfanatic15]

I love watching your lets plays and I love how gleeful you get at the thought of killing a bunch of people, so amusing XD

[@iLlamas1]

Oh... that sound of clicking and typing I love that!

[@QueenOfPessimism]

Fascinating. I wanted to watch gameplay as i am considering buying. I assume this is one of those games that the more you play it’s alot easier to understand? I can’t tell what’s going on but i like it and may actually buy it XD. It would be my first “city sim” game.

[@susangoaway]

We need Hurricanes, Tornados, Flooding and Tsunamis... That would be great.

[@sunofslavia]

I love the clicking-keyboard sounds.

[@Gehirnkrampf666]

hey lgr, please do letsplays or more videos like this. love your passion for the games.

[@warmowed]

It is amazing how many youtubers that play video games live in NC, speaking as a lifelong resident there really isnt anything else to do lol.

[@KILLERONROAD]

I'm so fucking cross faded with my meds right now that I thought this was a recent upload. Bruh, make more of these gsmeplay videos.

[@jdzero]

Definitely picked this one up after I watched the review. I am a bit disappointed with the function gating through population numbers, but I understand why. Regional lots being locked away is also kind of weird too. I built my own map already in the editor, and I loved the water tools, despite how funky they act. I think one BIG update or mod would be the ability to switch the one-way road direction with some kind of toggle or option, so if you're not deleting an entire road and rebuilding it, as it's already a bit of a pain to make those 3-lane highways, when your OCD kicks in and wants you to match them side-by-side. xD Other than those few complaints, I'm definitely enjoying this game. Glad I bought it versus the new SimCity and/or some of the more recent city sims.

[@Zombiepull]

there is allready such a mod :)

[@chrismingay6005]

Christ, remember the "flood" from Sim City on the SNES? What was it? 2, maybe 3 tiles of water?

[@Retromicky82]

All that carnage and you still was paying the budgets . All at least you washed the pooh away .

[@KingsDominionNetwork]

TBH LGR i really want you to do a full on gameplay of cities skylines

[@priscillaemerald987]

Well... I'm not cleaning THAT up.

[@AlyD23]

Your rushed doomed city still looks 100 times better than my best effort, i'm terrible at these games, haha.

[@HazyJ28]

I absolutely love your "Krusty the Clown" type of laugh lol

[@armenatorvan4949]

Wow this looks just as detailed as I hoped Simcity 2000 would be. I've always been disappointed with every Simcity game since for lacking that.

[@B3ansGuy]

As if I didn't have enough reason to buy this game! This was hilarious

[@simonmd2000]

Looks awesome fun! Thanks for a cool idea, i'll be trying that myself.

[@Y0shiart2]

The congratulations message remind me of Zynga’s CityVille.
