City Story still has players. They've probably lost more than half their customers though (because the game was being left out) but I still play it! Why recreate a new game with a WHOLE new different design and look, when you can just improve, and I mean improve, the game we already have now. City Story Metro looks cartoony with bright and ugly colors and ridiculous designs and buildings. City Story Metro looks like those other city building games where you see GIANT hamburgers on top of buildings and people walk around in circles. All they did was take buildings from City Story and mess up the color! I don't care if they've added a night feature to this game. They botched it with the waiting for buildings to finish building and energy refilling. As I recall, no one likes these features! If you just wanted to add goals to the game, why didn't you put them in City Story? I've been waiting for them! This game has been around WAAAAY too long. It's like knocking down The Statue of Liberty because she turned a bit greener. No! You just improve her. They've improved her lights, her arms, her face, and much more.
I liked TeamLava's classic games like: Farm Story, City Story, Restaurant Story, Bakery Story, Nightclub Story, (I don't play it, but) Fashion Story. They had a unique style and looked TOTALLY different from other "Building Games." Now in the newest games, you have to wait to build things and refill your energy and it's ANNOYING! I don't like: Pet Shop Story, Zoo Story 2, Bubble Mania, Pet Hotel Story, Dragon Story, and Treasure Story. Can you tell that it's the newest games?
Is the company listening to us? I think it's just a waste of time to recreate a game, but in a WHOLE DIFFERENT way. Zoo Story wasn't a hit at all because there were no updates and it became boring... so you recreate another Zoo Story game... ???
