Hey, what's up buddy?

Also, excited for more Tropico 4. I initially didn't like it, as it's very similar to 3, but it's grown on me.

Should have waited for Tropico 4 complete! or some such nonsense.

More Tropico is never a bad thing, but I think w/ all the DLC I'll be waiting on Steam Sales.

I love how they have the shuttle right next to the roads. "Oh, sorry! We accidently blew up your car with our propulsion blast!" LoL

That's not very modern since we're not sending those ships into space anymore...

This looks like it could be a really neat addition. Tropico 4 is as fun as the series has always been, but it feels like they haven't added a whole lot since the first Tropico.

What environmental BS? The environmental faction in Tropico has always been over the top and satirical, just like every other faction in the game. It's what leads to a lot of the game's unique sense of humor.

@Rowr: Just praise them in the election speeches and keep pillaging the land as fast as you can. This is a game of politics after all.

El Presidente and his ministers must now join the war against terror and control Internet regulation and freedom of speech on Tropico.

Apparently now you run America instead of a random island.

Sorry I should of been more specific, I was referring to the natural disasters in the game.

I actually went back and played last night for a few hours and had a good time. I think I was just at a mission and all my shit got destroyed and it was like fuuuuuuuuuuuu.

I love Tropico 3 but I'm on the fence to whether or not buy this one!

That ... I don't think you should build spaceports that close to populated areas. Isn't the safety zone supposed to be kilometers wide?

I wish there were more games in this genre. I really enjoy the Tropico games.

Oh, so the trailer doesn't actually continue after the shuttle launch? That's...OK. Seems like the sort of thing that would be followed by a flurry of quick cuts briefly showing the other new things in the expansion.

Ya that liftoff would kill the people in the nearest parking lot. :) Launching spacecraft from a tropical island though, that's realistic.
