I'd also like to comment about the my monopoly dlc that you can get. I got it thinking, heck yeah, you can make your own board?? So I got it and it was quite a disappointment. What you can do: Name properties Put logos on each property Choose 3D or 2D board Change the middle logo
What you can't do: Change names of: Chance, Community Chest, GO, Jail, Free Parking Move around properties Change the colors of properties
Additional info: Very very limited choices for logos and they look like Microsoft clip art... Very limited everything honestly considering I paid ten dollars for it. Not really worth it
I wrote that comment not meaning to 100% rip on monopoly, obviously I've played it about 15 times. (All offline with one friend and 3-4 computers every time) we found out almost instantly that you need to play against hard comps. The most annoying part was that we had to make up our own trading rules because we easily were able to cheat the computers, which really sucks cause it creates controversy between players which shouldn't have to happen. I could go on and on about improvements needed and I hope that they fix or at least give effort into fixing stuff. I still play it, with my own side rules, to keep it interesting. They need to fix the online for sure, and also make it where you can split screen against other people on Xbox live( yes people could cheat, but hopefully not...)
Honestly, I'm not sure how many times you played the computers, but they are nowhere near challenging on hard. You can bs them trades early and easily win every time. For example, you land on Vermont avenue to start the game. They land on Connecticut, and Oriental. Your next turn you can buy both for probably 300-350 max. That's just to start. Don't even get me started on computer to computer trades, simply terrible. Almost every single one. I could tell countless examples. There are many other problems. If you use the house rule go and movement, the computers will never choose movement. What is that... The comp. Had park place, then landed on go with 900 and didn't choose go to boardwalk(which would put him right in front of go) also computers choose pass on chance as if on a 50/50 coin flip. At the most opportune moments to need a chance card they will pass, as well as choose to flip it. Ex. Iker(comp) is destroying in the game with multiple hotels and houses yet he still doesn't pass the chance card and ends up getting house repairs... Also the computers, mind my language... Whore the houses like crazy. They will never ever get hotels unless they can instantly use the houses that will be available. Hood strategy? Yes, but the most annoying thing ever.
