There's just so much that I could never even dream of to build in ZT2 that's now possible in PZ. Other than that PZ is simply amazing with all the creative freedom it gives us, especially with the new sandbox options now added. Same for the sometimes admittedly frustrating water placement and terrain issues, though I gotta say I had plenty of those in ZT2 as acing elevated paths near cliffs or water, anyone?

Sure the simple click and drag placement of paths and fences is amazing and I wish it was that easy in PZ, but even that's something you can get used to and practice. I spent years playing ZT1 and ZT2 as well and was a part of the ZT2 community for a long time, though, not so much anymore (if anyone remembers my username was Unicorn back then) and while I loved building Zoos in ZT2 I still can't see myself going back anytime soon. Thankfully, the DLC we're getting for Planet Zoo seems to be more like what we got for our money with PlanCo in terms of content compared to JWE. Especially when Frontier as a company already has two benchmark games (PlanCo and JWE). for $30 or whatever? I just don't understand it. And releasing relatively smaller DLC packs over a longer period of time seems to be the standard.īut somehow, people are still expecting 35+ new animals plus new building pieces, features, etc. There's no reason for a company to hold back on content for months and months and months when it's ready to go at the current moment, a steady stream of new content ensures that people keep talking about the game (which generates more sales overall). Plus, you had to plan ahead with marketing, shipping dates, etc.

To get somebody to leave their home, go to the store, and purchase a CD's worth of content you had to load it up with that many animals. The entire industry and the method of distribution has shifted. Particularly when it comes to cost and amount of content. The thing that gets me the most is the DLC vs.
