Phil building an April Fools prank intentionally bad city still comes out better than my actual attempts at building a city.

It's basically the best way to plan

My favorite part of this video is that he's trying to be as imperfect as possible, but still is making minor changes to keep it clean. The amount of mental strength it must've taken.

[@vulneratus5980]

My guy just spent 24 minutes dunking on himself and I respect it. The cuts at CS2 game design were even better, though.

[@NuckElBerg]

I’m fairly certain he went into the dev menu, created those fires and then started going ”so anyway, let’s plant some trees!” as an homage to the original. 🔥😛

[@JeremyPeterson86]

I laughed at each and every swipe during the tour. Fires everywhere. hahaha

You know what, since you want to play we need to make a new verde beach; for real this time.

i lost it at how cheerfully you said "they can go to the hospital, and if it doesn't work out, they can go straight to the grave"

[@superjanitor123]

This would actually be amazing to do when the game is a bit more polished/more dlc assets. Verde beach was definitely my favourite OG City Skylines build

[@EricMesa]

Like the FF7 remake...

[@cowboycurtis2229]

"It's a little bit crooked, but you've got to be willing to accept a bit of imperfection." In an alternate universe, there's a Phil who actually plays like this, and he just made an April fools video where he spent an inordinate amount of time perfectly lining things up.

[@karthikbalasubramanian3713]

"Bodies sliding into the river". Chef's kiss

[@jordanbinner4175]

Sometimes people watch videos about building cities and sometimes people walk through industrial areas in their town for no reason. Love the paths!

[@omgbutterbee7978]

Oh my god, this is the best city build ever! I appreciate the stroad! Stroads don't get enough love these days but where else are you going to see billboards for injury lawyers?! How would people know who to call when they get run over by an F-150?! I think Stroad Towns would love this content, and also Just Cars! Thanks for the first rational city CPP!

[@Rengray2]

April 1st is a day for jokes not solemn reflection, Phil. We either learn from the past or we repeat it. My favorite part has to be the sudden flare up of fires all over town...such sweet, sweet nostalgia. Speaking of - it would have been a delight if the city tour had been of the original Verde Beach episode 1 with zero acknowledgement, then back to CS2 for the wrap.

[@mrgangsterb0y]

the KZbin notification "The start of a brand new..." got me excited, then i opened the app and saw verde beach. great video tho

[@Bavio]

I'm watching this on April 2nd, and one of my first thoughts was "Wow, Planner is extra snarky in this episode!" And then I realized this episode came out yesterday 😂

[@AmberGTL]

I’m literally so embarrassed I got a full TWELVE minutes in without realizing. Just thinking “hm, CPP is being kinda weird in this video” hahaha

[@petedpvlogs]

@8:05 the new version of this city is auditor approved. Not sure if it’s just a UK thing but they love walking around industrial parks, filming them from the public footpath and getting into arguments with security. With all the paths you have put down they will have a great time, making content for KZbin.

[@DarthEstebanMontoya]

That tease in the last episode was clever.

[@BlahBlubification]

How many highschoolers died for this episode? Btw the on fire city tour was brilliant. All those firetrucks in the end, masterpiece.

I was watching this and immediately picked up on the really weird cadence and how you introduced it as CPP City Builders, but I was like… maybe he’s trying something new? It continued to be weird and then at around 5 minutes when you built the city entry point, I laughed out loud. Well done and I appreciate the commitment to the bit throughout the entire video.

[@foamyesque]

I don't know how serious the commentary in this video is meant to be but something tells me the little digs at the game are...genuine. And I am here for it.

[@EricMesa]

it's a parody of a city he made in CS1 with some digs at CS2 functionality missing

[@MateriaGirl]

@@EricMesaI meant the seriousness of the digs, I can't tell if they're genuinely upset with CS2 or not. I am getting the impression CPP is genuinely pretty pissed at the whole situation especially since his livelihood is this channel and this game risks damaging the potential future of it with its incompetent development
