… But at least the negative reviews are gone! 🙄
skylines still is one of my chill games ill boot up and run to decompress, watching skylines 2 has been cringey and painful
At least it’s a decision.
I was pretty hyped for the initial release but man, after hearing issue after issue with the game I’m glad I didn’t spring for it
They’ve fumbled this sequel nearly as bad as EA did with SimCity 2013, and that killed the series entirely and paved the way for skylines to be as popular as it was. Would be a shame if they follow the same trajectory.
“Paradox ruins management game” smh 2024 truly is hell
Was the first one this bad when released? I didn’t start playing till years after
As a longtime fan/player of CS1:
They’re reaping what *they* sowed.
It seems mighty clear that, like so many titles, this was rushed and released in a far *far* too incomplete & dysfunctional state.
That’s just the new Brutalist dlc.
It’s a real impressive fall from grace.
You either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain
Game was clearly rushed and seemed like it was produced as quick as possible for as cheap as possible. Reviews were dreadful and people agree the game not only sucks but barely functions.
Game still sold over 1 million units and has turned a good profit and still sells 1000s of units weekly. On top of that even their dlc sold ok for what it is. They spent about 5 minutes putting some music together and threw it out there as dlc to see if anyone would buy it and several thousand people did (then all complained it was a waste of money).
Like is it any wonder companies do this when people still fucking buy it. Why spend a lot of time and money making something good when you can rush out shit and people still buy it.
All they had to do was to merge it into the base game and call it a gift to ask forgiveness of the poor state of the game.
But no, they had to fucked it up xD
It really has been a shit show to watch this game fumble so much. I know the original had its troubles but its a far cry from what this is.
I couldnt buy 2 at release because money was short, kind glad i held off now in retrospect. I hope in 12 months the games in a much more solid and stable place.
If the devs read this, please tell your bosses (because im certain you guys dont like this anymore than we do) to just pack this shit in and go back to the originals content model
Look at those “next gen” graphics for our “next gen” PCs.
Looks like no developers remain from first cities skyline
Unbelievable.
Is there a way to get all of the DLC for CS1 without paying upwards of a thousand dollars for it?
It’s a game I really want to play but fuck that noise.
And no, I won’t pirate it.
I was so hyped to play this game because I loved the first one. I have a rule though, don’t buy a game in the first week and wait for reviews. Thank fuck that I followed my rule.
Good thing I bought both original Cities: Skylines bundles on HB. I don’t need to fight with this train wreck.
My partner and I were excited for Cities Skylines 2 and Payday 3 respectively, at the same time. I can’t believe that Payday 3 turned out to be the (arguably) better game. At least its playable.
I wonder how many people from management are axed for their total failure of project management … my bet is on 0
Man I knew this game was going to be bad from the early access party they did with the streamers. They suspended them in air and you could one barely hear them, and two the game kept having insane issues for every streamer. Notably RTgame had a city with water physics issues right from the start.
I guess the simulation game wasn’t for anyone …because it was never fucking finished. Everyone that defended this game is exactly why modern gaming is fucked. God forbid you are EVER critical of a game, you get labeled a complainer, don’t appreciate what we have, just play another game, blah blah fucking blah. Why can’t we express our opinions without being labeled complaining? How tf are we ever going to critique something again if we can’t speak negatively about it? We don’t always have to find a silver lining, we can admit when something is flawed. Sure people take it too far, but the radical minority doesn’t speak for everyone.
All I ever wanted was a better version of CS2 and that was too much to ask for. Cool, enjoy the road tools on a broken game.
See you guys in 3+ years when they pull a NMS or CP2077 and the game finally released as it should’ve instead of in Q4 of 2023 to make some sort of revenue bump before the holidays lol.
Looks more like house flipper DLC
I love the irony of them literally just coming out and apologizing to the fanbase for dropping the ball. Then they turn around and do this lol
This game is a self-satire of paradox Games.
Good old concrete block house design.
It could really use some modern amenities like doors and windows though. A driveway to park your car in would also be nice.
Not sure why we ever needed a sequel to the first one. It’s an almost perfect game. Fix traffic so emergency vehicles don’t get stuck and add a few more tools for drawing and spacing streets and the game would be perfect.
You were the chosen one. You were supposed to bring the light and mixed use to city builders, not destroy the whole category!
Couldn’t they have just made it free and refunded everyone?
It happens when they try to make money making machines instead of fun games.
Honest question, is CS 1 worth it buying at this moment? I kinda waited for CS2 but i dont feel its worth it now?
What a fall for these guys. A total fumble through and through.
Literally dont even want to launch the game….those assets are already intertwined in all my builds
Wake me up when we have a proper Skylines 2. I don’t care if it will go by that name or developer then. (I share your pain and obviously cope by cynicism)
> We hope we can regain your trust going forward
Well that sure did age well. LOL
Don’t worry, paradox promises to regain our trust
How could they drop the ball on their DLC like this? So strange to me
Cities Skylines is one of my favorites and Ive got so much time and money invested in DLCs I was never going to upgrade to 2, no matter how much of an improvement it was. Hate to see all of the trouble it’s been having, but I gotta say I feel vindicated for not getting into it. Patient gaming wins again.
What on Earth happened to Skylines 2? It’s such a train wreck!
What’s the context pls? I always liked this game but the lack of funds stopped me from buying it
And there is an CEO screaming at his Devs who told him the game wasn’t ready to release in the first place
hilarious
How tf did they even do that
Just unlisted the DLC? And/or roll back to the last version? Wh
They saw how badly the launch of Kerbal Space Programme 2 went and said “hold my beer”.
Damn, Paradox just keeps taking Ls
Game has been broken since launch
Jesus jumping catfish what happened to this studio?
