Stop over-Criticizing the game. You are damaging the city builder genre.

[Apexnexius]

The Cities: Skylines series is the flagship franchise saving City Builders post SimCity.

What PC-game these days doesn't launch with some issues? (rhetorical question)
This isn't exactly the 1990's.
Colossal Order has just released the best city builder in the history of gaming!
Stop dragging the game's reputation down. Stop over-complaining!

- Yes. The game is taxing on the hardware. -
Back in the days we used to buy a whole new PC just to play a game like this and we still knew how important a game like this would be in the long run.
Cities: Skylines II is going to carry the banner for the next 8 to 10 years or so.


Support and Praise Colossal Order for having the balls to release this massive upgrade to gaming as we know it and realize that this game is 'future proof' for years to come.

So stop the overly "low brow" negativity and realize that this will be one of your favorite games in the coming years.
Along with the coming dlcs, Mods and other content coming the next decade you will upgrade your PC hardware several times. It is better this way.


Review bombing the game will only hurt this Mega Project of a city builder game down the line and hurt Colossal Order.
Some of you want this game to fail. Most of us want it to succeed.


I'm gonna buy Cities: Skylines this Christmas and play the hell out of it just like I did with Cities: Skylines 1.
This year and next year is gonna be great for us city builder fans.

"Gonna buy it this Christmas"? So either hoping they fix it or waiting for a discount since the game in it's current state is not worth the money. Either way you just agreed the game is not worth it and downthumbed it. If I buy a product and it is not working as intended I have the right to say it, and if they get hurt by the bad reviews they will either do better next time or there won't be a next for them and someone else will step in and fill the need, hopefully doind a better job.

gonna go out and purchase an early release car unfinished I'm so inspired

Lucky you, steam denied my refund request because I exceeded their playtime limit so I'm out XX bucks and stuck with a product that I can't use.

I'm a responsible adult gamer (and a dad).
I played SimCity way back in 1989 before most of you were even born.
Too many of you new city builder gamers are complaining way to much in these forums and in general about Cities: Skylines while at the same time wasting way to much time playing playing at release day.

I'm a responsible dad and a successful breadwinner caring about my family. And I'm telling you there is nothing more important to a real man in life than finding a good wife, establishing a family and building the economy of this great nation.

As a City Builder Dad I quit buying games at release day 20 years ago. I have just bought a new car, I have an amazing pregnant wife, I make a s**tload of money and I'm buying a new house this autumn. We party with our neighbors every weekend. I never neglect my social responsibilities. I'm enjoying life.
Do yourselves a favor. Stop criticizing everything about Cities: Skylines II and every decision Colossal Order makes.
Gaming is not your career. It's cringe af.

By all means buy Cities Skylines II at release day and enjoy playing every now and then, but remember that Cities Skylines is not your whole life.
Sometimes you need to get outside and touch grass. Work hard on improving yourself and start contributing to your local community

EDIT:
Some words and typos.

oh wow so its actually our fault

[rockyjoejoe2007]

"Go outside and touch some grass" Ok so just stop playing the game then?

[General T.Montana Tropic Thunder]

It's a last last gen game, like a bad cs1 mod.
Biffa did a good 10/10 video job for CO devs + good marketing blabla - Respect

That the game has no Steam workshop will probably be the last coffin nail.

[Karlsson]

Once upon a time there was an OP that wasn't affected.

His main reason in life was to be angry with people that were affected.

Nothing was resolved.

Noone lived happily ever after.

The End.

Pretending this is some moral issue or anything is just cope. Release something bad for full price and get the receipt for it. Imagine a small company makes a car and due to being understaffed, too tight schedules and not enough funds or for whatever reason, the cars has an engine that doesn't run and crashes all the time, is missing 2 out of 4 tires, has no windshield and a leak in the tank, yet they ask you to pay full price for that thing. Would you buy it?

[ASFx]

"What PC-game these days doesn't launch with some issues?" - Exactly. So maybe they need to learn a hard lesson about not doing that, and maybe try releasing a game once it's actually done?

[cdubbs]

Why should the game NOT get bad reviews if people above min spec cant run it?

You know what is damaging the CIty builder genre... releasing poorly optimized games full price and telling people it will be fixed sometimes down the road.

[Chilly]

Nobody is review bombing. This game runs like arse because it's a simulation game on the Unity engine, not because it's some next-gen masterpiece.
