There is a vast difference to other games. The core is fine, mechanics work perfectly, the game looks great, it has just bad performance. That can be fixed.
Have been playing all night, the performances are not great, but it's actually playable for most people with lower settings, and the game is pretty great.
Also it's a city builder, it's okay to play it with 30fps in low, it's not a FPS.
If it makes you feel any better getting older means you learn to see these things coming from a mile away. The best games are (generally) the ones you learn about from word of mouth
Don't let new games hype you!
Play the actually released, proven, Good games - Undertale, Ori and the Blind Forest, TOTK, God of War, The Last of Us, It Takes Two.
There's a wealth of available, old, discount games! Don't roll the dice on new shit
Well I think the whole performance thing have been blown waaaay out of proportion by a vocal few. I have a relatively old pc with an rx580 8gb vram and the game's been running fine for me. Obviously it needs some patches, but people have been saying it's the second coming of ksp2, and that's simply bullshit
Tbh, the game's great. I've literally see someone compare playing a city managment game at 30fps to a slideshow.
Does it run well? No. Is it a disaster? Also no. Is every single other aspect of the simulation better than cs1? Absolutely yes. Most of the reviews are by far exaggerated
They are filled with unfunny meme reviews, review bombs because they feature a gay person, or reviews from people who don't understand how computers are supposed to work.
I remember thinking that surely Duke Nukem Forever would turn out awesome once it's finally finished. After seeing the reception I just decided it wasn't worth checking out.
All they had to do was throw it in Early Access while they fixed it. The reviews would likely be stellar in that case. Releasing it fully in this state just feels like some corporate BS. Disappointed in dev and publisher, and they keep making it worse with their weird excuses.
"Built with modern hardware in mind", homie this shit ain't even running right on a 4090. And 30fps target? Idk what they're smoking.
Cities skyline 2 performance is pretty bad from the stream I was watching. HOWEVER according to this review by Wal Der Qual if you set the dynamic resolution to "constant" you will get an FPS boost. It helped the gal on the stream I was watching anyhow. I cant speak for their other suggestions as they didnt get tried on the stream.
I am so down for a sequel of this game and while it looks good the only thing making me hesitate are the performance issues. I'm tempted to just play the first one more and even pick up a DLC I want for that instead of putting the cash to this.
Me and X: Rebirth. Looking forward to it for years and it comes out as an abomination.
5 years later I pick up the game on a deep deep sale and I try to dock and the physics gets screwy and immediately refund it. This was after 4 expansions and several patches to make it version 4.something.
Also Payday 3. Though the server issues have been fixed.
Most of the reviews are because of bad performance, but a friend told me FPS massivly increases on medium settings. They just defaulted to high for some reason
