Wonder why games keep coming out unfinished, unoptimized and straight up broken? Well…

    well, mostly because we keep paying for them.

    The pc gaming is for 4070ti/4080/4090 owners from now on…

    Never have I felt so righteous for being a pirate.

    Cities Skylines 2 is “not that broken”. I’ve been playing on it for hours now and the only issue I have is placing some specialized buildings. That outline screen ducks my FPS, but I’ve had no problems playing it at all

    I don’t understand this tbh.

    Is it the same people buying pre release games who are complaining?

    I get the feeling that a majority of these posts are from people who don’t own the game and just want to parrot the hot new talking point.

    Dude, i swear to you, i’m playing 2023 releases in a 3060 Ti, 4k, DLSS performance and Medium setting, and getting 50~60 fps. The games looks amazing, so, there are no low and medium setting, its all high, super high, ultra high and extreme high settings. Lighting and shadows are buring ours GPUs too early. I dont want to just blurry my game with DLSS, i want to disable all the shadows and light effects to play a sharp game. Get all the shadows out if needed, i just want to see where i am shooting.

    Because publishers put unreasonable pressure on devs to ship, even if it’s almost in a broken state. Also, easier to know what to fix if you have the public to do your testing for you, as stuff always crops up that way.

    This really isn’t even indicative that it sold well though, any game from a semi sizeable studio is gonna top sale charts when it launches. Like yes it would be funny if that didn’t even get on there but it’s just a completely unrealistic expectation.

  9. Hoppyb33rs

    It always throws me off seeing commas instead of periods

  10. Reddit is a VERY small minority. Most people come home from a day of working and play a new game; they don’t care if the game runs poorly as long as it is entertaining. They don’t go on Reddit to join a gaming sub where people circle jerk each other. Just wait until next week when MW3 is top seller for the rest of the year and outsells BG3. You’ll get the post that ABK are lying because people on Reddit are out of touch with reality.

    I knew performance was gonna be shit when they showed the gameplay features and you’d notice insane 20 fps dips.

    You never show of a game on anything but a very high end system so this was very telling.

    Odd to me how I never saw comments about it on the YouTube channel

  12. doppiogelato

    I’ve been saying this forever.

    People keep blaming companies but the fault is on consumers.

    It’s true of all of the things people hate or pretend to hate.

    Micro-transactions, DRM, early access, you name it.

    As long as all of these idiots keep gobbling up this crap, crap will be the market standard.

  13. ArtFart124

    I think most people here have not played either games, as evident by OP’s lack of library lable. Can you really say a game is “unfinished” after not even playing it?

  14. Melodias3

    Need a goty for most optimized game of the year for a change

  15. First though you are buying it then looked closely and laughed. As I keep repeating – Most gamers are brainless “Click to buy” society. Only the wise ones stay in the shadow and buy games after reviews or after specific amount of time

  16. Ark is Early Access. Not good that the pfermorance tanked when it came out but that’s what you have to expect when buying EA.

    Cities 2 was a full release and that was really unaccaptable. If you fully release a game it should be complete and playable.

  17. Pohaku1991

    Honestly, I bought cities skylines 2 not because I think it’s good right now, but because I know it’ll get better.

  18. Shinonomenanorulez

    TFW one of the most stable releases of the year is a hot wheels game

  19. headbanger1186

    Anyone who gave money to Studio Wildcard and complains nowadays should have the tip of their penises flicked as hard as someone can.

  20. Savagestar1

    The same reason as you’re making the same exact post as several other people. You realize you’re going to get up votes the same as companies realize they’re going to get money… It’s kind of pretty easy to comprehend.

  21. Thebombuknow

    I’ve said this on other posts, I don’t get the CS:2 hate. It’s a major upgrade in simulation detail and accuracy over CS:1, and that comes at the cost of performance. While I would prefer a higher frame rate, the game targets 30fps which is more than acceptable for the type of game it is. I can also easily reach that on midrange hardware (i7-7700, RTX 3060ti FE)

  22. JewpiterUrAnus

    I’m loving the game.

    They’ve already pushed two patches. One has fixed a considerable amount of things.

    Sick of hearing the same drum being beat.

  23. LaFagehetti

    Been playing Skylines 2 on GamePass. They’re improving performance with each patch. On medium I can hit 50fps on my 3060 12GB when it only could hit like 15 on launch day! Play around with the setting too

  24. MarkLarrz

    Because gamers keep buying them at launch

  25. blackest-Knight

    “Early access” and you still whine. So the devs aren’t even allowed to run tests anymore ?

  26. The-Red-Pac-Man

    If you expected ark be not be broken your an idiot but city skylines 2 was a big disappointment

  27. Healthy_Explorer_893

    Because y’all keep fucking buying them. Stop fucking buying them. Stop funding garbage.

  28. floppydisks2

    Devs need money for the holidays. If you don’t like, don’t buy.

  29. Old-Caramel-9799

    I stopped buying games a few years ago, I don’t play games day one anymore, and I’ve been on the side of No Pre-orders for years, but everyone from kids to man children need their dopamine fixes.

  30. Fearfuldrip

    If you bought Ark ascended, you should have known what was coming. Expecting a different release than how vanilla ark went is wild. This is wildcard people.

  31. Stargov1

    I haven’t been wondering this since the mid 2010’s.

  32. Ark is early access and a major engine upgrade. Issues are expected.

    Cities Skylines has a couple of cosmetic options taking performance, but once those are lowered and/or disabled, frame rates are great.

  33. Sanvirsingh

    I will probably get down voted for this but I bought ark because I played the original ark withy friends and since my friends bought this one I bought it as well even tho it fuking runs like shit but still it runs way better then the original ark and it better optimized then city skylines.
