It's the same exact game equally the Political Machine 2012. Same graphics. Same music. Same random events. Same glitches. Same *everything*. Stardock slapped a 2016 sticker on the previous game in addition to decided to accuse people $10 for it.
A chip of history: TPM2008 was notable for bringing the serial into 3D. It featured a fashion where you'd look upwardly onetime presidents (from Nixon in addition to Kennedy to Lincoln in addition to Washington) to unlock to a greater extent than playable characters. It fifty-fifty had dissimilar election twelvemonth scenarios, allowing players to go for President during the Civil War (among others) in addition to to formulate a drive to win voters during that fourth dimension period. It was educational in addition to fun. TPM2012 stripped away these modes, in addition to exclusively allowed players to go the 2012 campaign.
TPM2016 is literally the same exact game equally 2012. Swap out a few uneletectable presidential candidates in addition to a few issues (instead of running on a platform based on reforming the economy, you'll live basing it on citizen security, the environment, or Black Lives Matter) in addition to yous take TPM2016.
The same glitches are notwithstanding at that place from previous versions. Every few games, I'm randomly blocked from using Political Capital (to hire to a greater extent than staffers). When attempting to choose my veep, constant pop-up messages come upwardly up telling me that my opponent got endorsed past a political group. After a drive is over in addition to I'm reviewing the map i last time, music from the “results” concealment in addition to the “map” concealment play at the same time. Bottom line: Glitches are fine in addition to are to live expected, but non when the SAME glitches take been inward your game serial for over *eight years*. It's evident that the game hasn't been tested, or that Stardock simply doesn't care.
The voter demographics are notwithstanding wonky too. Republicans tin easily win Vermont, Connecticut, in addition to Oregon (Dem strongholds), but rarely win New Hampshire (tossup state). Democrats tin easily win Tennessee in addition to West Virginia (GOP strongholds). Little things similar that, plough what could live a (somewhat) educational game into a free-for-all amongst no redeeming values.
As I previously said, this game is the same game equally TPM2012, correct downward to the chief carte in addition to graphics. I couldn't imagine some other strategy game (like Civilization) repackaging the same game every iv years, changing a spreadsheet or two, in addition to tossing it out into the market. Don't back upwardly Stardock in addition to this lazy coin grab.
