Hi, I just picked this game up during the Spring Sale after having waited a very long time to make sure it was a decent game/build.
I must say, that I am extremely confused about things. First, the base game plus the beach resort dlc constitute one complete game. After installing beach resort, you have two different starting options and access to a DLC save which is essentially just a regular save with a special notation....i.e. giving you more save slots.
Now, we come to Adventureland. It is not a DLC at all, but rather simply another standalone Spirit of the Island executable. It's the entire base game that appears to be lacking the Beach Resort DLC. This exe is the only way to have to new rides/attractions and such.
WTF? literally, wtf? Who came up with this nonsense? So, if I want to experience the full game, I have to play SotI, then beach resort. After that, I have to take my save and run it through the Adventureland .exe which then allows the new content.
Can somebody/anybody please shed some light on this clusterfuck of a mess? It's even totally screwed in the store presentation, but the Dev doesn't seem to get how fucking weird this is. Strangest GOG release to date.
Also, controls are broken for Adventureland building menu for a gamepad. You hit LT and with the RB and LB buttons can cycle categories. Well, it works...unless you try to cycle to the amusement park buildings. You can't do it and have to use the mouse.
