Cities Skylines 2 is 14 months old | State of the game now
Over a year later and still this game has problems and missing features. I didn't mention how the game has no bikes or bike lanes after all this time. Another thing I didn't mention is the crashing. This game crashed four times today while I was recording. Put simply this is not the state Cities Skylines 2 should be in 1+ year later.

First time making it to endless mode in Balatro

It's entirely possible that this game can bounce back but they have lost of a lot of players for various reasons.

Bodycam has a lot of work to do. While they have added more content to the game there are other issues with the game that have gone unaddressed. The biggest thing is the added microtransactions which have no place in an Early Access game. I hope they reverse course on this and focus on quality of life updates.

I'm not sure that price hike is justified so if you're not convinced about it I would advise holding off on buying. At least until you deem the price worth it or there is a discount.

Let me put it this way, Squad 44 (formally Post Scriptum) came out in 2018, 6 years later here we are and the game is still- for a lot of people poorly optimized and this game came out last year and it's optimization has actually gotten worse since the switch to U5.

    I was playing this game a full year before Helldivers 2 came out, it ran better before they 'upgraded' to UE5. It ran decently enough my old FX 8350 could run it. I since upgraded to a newer ryzen 5 and it runs like dogwater now because of their update. Not to mention how grindy the game was and how they kept resetting class progress. By the time helldivers 2 came out that was that for this game. My friends jumped ship, we're all veterans of the first galactic war and one of us preordered helldivers for us all, the rest is a democratic history.

    Yeah for years I’ve always played EDF Earth defense force. Remember seeing the old Xbox box art at the store seeing that helmet broken with some insect appendage with the green backround “Earth defense force invent Armageddon” think it was. I never did pick it up but it caught my interests. Like zombie games tho I did love slaughter fest of games. Later I did pick up the earlier version 4.1 of EDF and it became timeless coop fun for me and my brother. Brought that whole throwback stereotypical Japanese soldier in anime where they come out by the dozen with a basic assault rifle to shoot big monsters or Godzilla type creature but had new classes and goofy weapons on it. Over the years EDF became the staple of starship troopers basically. 😂 So I thought it was too late to make a starship troopers game. But when this game finally came out boy did I know it would die off soon especially when I knew helldivers 2 in third person would be coming around the same time also. I loved the first helldivers and the new Edf 2025 even that iron rain version with better graphics. I thought no way starship troopers would be better than edf recipe and deliver. But I was genuinely suprized how well the game looked and handles and the generous team size and building features. Or camp setup stuff. It honestly looked perfect for a starship game and the enemies. However I knew this game would not last. Coming in this late with other big releases. Trying to stand out where others are years in the making perfecting what they already did. Yeah no shot this game would last along time. Felt bad for it

    I love this game. I still love it even in the mess that it is. But playing it is such a mixed bag. Sometimes it runs fine and I'm able to enjoy it. Sometimes it will straight freeze for a few seconds. And even worse, there are some toxic companies out there (don't even get me started on the company system). The meta base building "strat" is just an exploit. Just last week I was TK'd for base building and then teabagged. Then I was met with a threat that they have a whole company in the lobby so I better listen to them. I really hope they manage to fix the issues because the game is fun when it works but right now my hopes are low.

The next update made it too easy and all the updates after that just made the game feel easy and boring.

    Around Carnage update, this game still had a chance... but I lost hope when 1.0 released. It's clear what direction they took. It should remain multi-only PC exclusive without microtransactions or Casper Van Den eating all the money, and last map is horrible... as well as Agni Prime ...and don't get me started on Lava or Ice Warriors. They did not even bother to add Hopper flying bugs or under-barrel modes. Some ST mods for Arma III or maybe Squad (if I remember correctly) give more authentic representation and vibe. Solution to keep it going - OPTIMIZATION, AUTHENTICITY with the setting and CONTENT from the movie (first one, lol) drop last two maps to for special rare events... plain empty rocky desert would be more interesting, remove Lava and Ice Drones and Warriors, add flying bugs as an environmental threat attacking isolated units, fix BUGS.

Performance is so important, the fact it's been overlooked for SO long with the laundry-list of issues is just absurd.

Another prime example why early access games should be free to play with an option to buy in with a founder's pack.

    The views are starting go up by a lot so I want to jump in to say that I know Ubisoft probably cannot turn things around. I don't hate this company and I don't hope they fail like a lot of people seem to. I'm convinced that there are good people, programmers, artists, QA testers who want to do a good job. Unfortunately they are not in a position to make those big sweeping decisions about the direction of the company. They could "just quit" but it's not that simple. I myself have a full time job, which I take no pleasure in and would like to get out of ASAP, and I'm certain for some of those Ubisoft employee's it's a pay check. That's what they're there for. They know the company isn't doing well, that there is dysfunction. Goodness I know all about THAT. No one is interested in making lateral moves into something different but not better so they stick it out. Trying to do there best work but knowing it's futile much of the time. It would be great for things to improve at Ubisoft. If the house has to come down then fine but why tear the house down because you don't like the kitchen? I want these people to have a happy, healthy place to work. I want them to be able to make great games. Why would I not want that?

      @only_spencer do you extend or duplicate your monitors? My buddy had this issue your describing and extending the displays and making sure the larger one is primary seemed to fix the issue hasn't had any issues since. Oh well I tried. Good luck in getting it fixed I know how frustrating it can be when things like this happen.

      It's an extended display not duplicated. This isn't the only game that does this either. I'll have to get another monitor at the same resolution. I've been wanting that.
