Title: Tropico 5
Post by: Cerveza mas fina on June 18, 2016, 02:54:51 AM

Anyone here play this?  Started last night and did the tutorial, then played two rounds where I failed to get out of the colonial era in campaign mode on normal (needed 1% more to delcare independence)

I played it for 10 minutes before realizing that I either need to buy a larger TV or move my couch closer to the screen. The text is simply too small for my current living room conditions.

I did enjoy Tropico 2 or 3.

4.5-5 meters from a 46" screen. We're moving to a new place soon so it's not a big issue. I can wait.

It's available for PS4 and it was a PS+ freebie last month. I'd rather play the PC version, but free is free.

Edit: It's apparently available for OS X, Linux, Xbox 360 and Xbox One as well.

Thanks.  I guess I'll be snagging an xbox one copy.
