The game is coming out in a few days, show of hands who is excited to play it right as it comes out, even if game performance is reportedly sluggish?

Moreover, what new feature in C:S2 are you most excited about?

Excited, yeah. But i‘m really not expecting much since the performance is supposed to be pretty bad. Alls speculation though, we‘ll see on release day.

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

I can hardly wait.

I'm pretty excited but I'm really disappointed that bike lanes aren't in the base game tho.

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

That's fair, people are going to have to wait to make their own Rotterdam.

Gonna try it on Gamepass, keep playing modded CS1 and get it on Steam in a year or two when there's more content and it's on sale.

This makes a good case for Gamepass for those who want to just try it out, and also for cloud streaming for those who don't have access to mid-tier gaming computers or better. (As much as I am against getting either subscription for myself)

Excited, really excited. But also quite scared of how it will turn out. I was also really excited for Kerbal Space Program 2, and while they’re getting around to improving it, it was a ridiculous call by the publisher to release it in the state it was in. Fingers crossed for C:S2

Well I've been happy about hearing what to expect from this game, and they pretty much appear to deliver what they promised. Judging from reviews it sounds like the game is feature complete but very unoptimized. Yes performance a major issue, game breaking for many, but this will be fixed in time. If you're getting it try City Planner Plays' recommended settings from his benchmarking video around 17 minutes. Most importantly turn off Vsync.

Yes it should be. I've now fixed it.

Cool. Out of context, I was thinking it could be confused with Counterstrike 2.

[–] irasponsible 6 points 1 year ago

To solve confusion, Counter-Strike will be referred to as C-S2, and Cities Skylines will be C:S2. Any other games with an acronym CS2 will have to pick another punctuation mark, such as C/S2.

Excited it's coming out now so I can play a good game in a year or two.

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

Absolutely. On one hand I understand people who say they are disappointed about a visually poor performing game release like a lot of AAA games, but on the other I'm pretty sure announcing a year's delay will ruin people's expectations further for other things they wanted to be added to make up for the extra year's time. CO will keep on working to optimize performance and add DLC, they have shown to listen to community feedback to guide their improvements to the game. If you are expecting a fully mature and polished game experience, waiting a year or two may be the play.

I've been watching some youtube videos ever since the embargo fell, which means that they can try everything and say everything they want. It looks like a great game, but no idea how well it will run on my PC.

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

I've no idea how well it will run for me either.

[–] eatham@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

See city planner plays video on performance for a better idea

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 year ago

Patiently waiting.

[–] bestusername@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Excited, but I'm patient, I don't like paying good money to a beta tester and it'll also take some time for the ~~Workshop~~ mod library to grow.

I'll probably wait for a sale.
