47% positive reviews, its growing and it's good.

[LonelyDragon]

Well, who actually played, starts to write positive reviews. And if you turn off at least TWO settings (dof and vsync) your fps can grow up and higher 60fps (or 30, if your specs around minimum specs). And then if you actually play in "gameplay oriented game" you, maybe, noticed that CS2 is actually good game and you can PLAY it. I think final rating will be around 75% +-5%.

After some tweaks i played game for 2.5 hour before I went to sleep. And this is really cool gameplay at base. I were in some sort of euphoria, when connected main road to highway so smooth and seemless. Comparing to CS1 graphics now at another level: new high res textures, cool lightning, awesome volumetric clouds and other volumetric stuff. At night city looks best way possible with all that light sources. Of course, shadows kinda meh, AA is useless except of TAA (which kinda fixes shadows), FSR i do not know why even here, because in doesn't bring any effect even if i will choose any other setting. No grass sprites also. But for me all this are minor problems, i'm not even notice them when.. well, actually playing. Of course we can compare CS2 with cyberpunk 2077 (or similar game), but remember what happened to cyberpunk when it was released. ♥♥♥♥♥♥ perfomance, ps4 edition was really unplayable, PC version was very problematic, balancing on the edge of playable state on most of computers. And where Cyberpunk2077 now? Now everyone has forgotten what kind of hell happened then, game fixed and completly playable. You think CDPR just good company and players can forgive their mistaces? Witcher3 also had problems on release. Maybe it's secret for you, but every game releases with problems. it's always been like this, but nostalgia cleared bad memories about bugs and also perfomance issue. This is my opinion and haters gonna hate.

I'm not saying that everything awesome or even good. Game perfomance is ok, just not bad and not good. I remember times when CS1 released and i played it at 10fps and had much fun from it. But everyone somehow forget about ♥♥♥♥♥♥ perfomance of first cities when it released and even now. There much work left for devs, but let's wait the same situation as it was in CS1. We have same CO, same PDX, same devs, same game, but updated. October 20 update shows that devs actually working on optimisation. If it was last update - well, only in that case we can say, that devs throw game to a death pit and CO deserve to be hated.

There is no way in any multiverse are you going to be able to polish this turd of a 29% score AAA game launch. Give up now?

[rockyjoejoe2007]

I might get up to 70% I think its increase is slowing down

and now we see 47% rating, Just after a 15 hours after release and after review bombing. And CS2 not AAA game, its like AA. I think after some time rating will be around 70-80%. haters gonna hate

White Knights clinging on to every % percentage point, panic !

Review bombing doesn't exist and all you advertise when you cry about it is that you lack the capability for thought.

I'm the first few who give it positive. I loved skylines I then I love skylines II too. That's it.

When it was 29%, I didn't want to kick the lying one, now I added a negative myself, but it is not the result of optimization in the slightest.

The problem in CSII is not optimization. Ok, fine, it is, but it can be fixed. The real problem is the underdeveloped simulation mechanisms. The game is incredibly easy compared to the first one. One has the impression that things don't influence each other and even if they do... it doesn't mean much. I put the first city without care to check the interface and basic mechanisms. What I came up with was a monster that draws water from pollution, with poorly distributed services, stupidly established zones and production plants without production areas and resources. My city flourished, people were very happy and no one complained about anything. Additionally, I had negative income all along, and yet thanks to the changed milestone system, my financial resources were growing at an alarming rate, despite spending large amounts of money.

So I'm concerned about CSII not because of optimization. I'm afraid that half of the synergy needs to be rewritten for the game to catch on. Or worse, I shudder at the thought that this is intentional, because the game is supposed to be a nice sandbox for building nice cities, not a complicated simulator. With all my love for CS and the hope that the game will be back on its feet after a few updates, I advise against purchasing it for now.

I think that once people got past that instant hurdle and adjusted some graphics settings, the game started to grow on them.
It feels good, it's detailed and diverse. There is a lot to like there already.

[rockyjoejoe2007]

yes, of course doesn't exist, we know.

Probably 10 times more problems in the simulation

Because the metric of a hotly anticipated sequel these days that it start s out in the toilet and can only go up from there? This kind of thinking is so scuffed. I'll tell you that generally when the game is probably better than negative reviews suggest it'll start out positive, go mixed, and then go positive again. This one started out at 2(% and had a pretty tepid critical reception.

It is across the board reviewing worse than its predecessor. I have no doubt it'll recover, but who sees this kind of launch as anything but heinous to awful is really, really putting their fingers in their ears.
