Cities Skylines 2 - MAJOR PATCH & THAT BEACHFRONT DLC…
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 июл 2024
- Cities Skylines 2 just released what's undeniably the most significant update yet to Cities 2. This patch update adds PDX Mods, beta modding to the game alongside the Editor. The free game patch update tunes performance issues, fixes land value, and aims to make a load of other bug fixes/ improvements. Broadly all good stuff. Colossal Order also released the Beachfront Properties DLC, a paid expansion that adds low-density beachfront housing and some palm trees. I'll cover all the updates, then share my personal review of the patch & DLC. Thanks for watching! #citiesskylines2 #simulation #gaming

Paradox has, in it's greed and recklessness, ruined Colossal Order. I'm beginning to wonder if Colossal Order will at some point sue them for destroying their reputation.
Nah, in 2 years and 5 DLCs no one will care. Hoi4 was practically empty when it came out and you could win with pure artillery. EU4 was a shell of EU3. CK3 was a buggy mess. Stellaris was completely whack. Victoria 3 was a disaster. Imperator Rome just died. What happened to March of Eagles?
But now all of those but March of Eagles are classics that people love and dozens of streamers make a living off of.
They dont care. They know theyll bring everyone back eventually. Its not like theres any competition out there. Paradox has cornered the Grand Strategy market.
You could probably argue from both sides as to who's fault it is. Reality is that it is in a bad state and it was CO CEO that made some very edgy comments towards the players. Well at least we can look forward to the next patch along side the next DLC!!! Lol
It is actually more on Colossal order. These timeliness for releasing the game are made well in advance. It is like a contractor remodeling your bathroom. You two agreed to 5 days, then he asked for 3 more days. You say no, so the bathroom is half finished. Who is more at fault, the contractor who undersold the amount of time needed or you who didn't want to give more time? That doesn't take in to account outside factors like if the contractor had more jobs lined up or if you were having friends over and that's the only bathroom.
@@noworries272 what did she say?
@@MeidoInHebun not long after the game launched and people were questioning the state of the game in its simulation and performance, she said that if you dislike the simulation, this game just might not be for you.
Next:
ground textures dlc
Roads dlc
Actual beaches dlc
More trees dlc
bikes dlc
paradox mods pass
bug fix dlc
etc
Each 29.99
Imagine play the game dlc
Sims 4 has done this for like 10 years and got away it with including higher prices for their dlcs.
It's giving EA
"Be patient"... so we're doing this again...
I’ve been patient since 2022 when the game was supposed to come out, here we are 2024, the game is STILL not finished after 6 months since it came out. At this point GTA 6 will release before this game will be fixed
This happens with most games/update adds server overload tgey mean be patient for a day or something u sensationalists😂
Lets wait 5 month for the next update haha ... No for me it's an definitive uninstall.
@@gregdu29400 Christ get over it bro it’ll be a hot fix tomorrow this happens all the time with games
@@benzski44technically they initially aimed for late 2020/early 2021 according to that dev dairy or whatever with the ceo. 3 years later and they’re still working on the base functionality of the game.
"This has shown all the teams at Paradox how important modding is" How freaking clueless is Paradox?! Bunch of clowns ruining the game go work at EA
Just Mariina trying to put the blame on someone else as usual. Paradox are well aware of how important modding is, the modding scene for games like Stellaris and Crusader Kings is absolutely humongous. Hell some mods for the older Hearts of Iron games eventually became their own game. Doesn't excuse that their platform is broken on day one of course.
11% positive reviews on the "DLC" explains the current state of the game... It won't be good in short time
it's an asset pack that is exactly what was already promised but just overpriced.
down to 7% now
for free it would be ok but for money it's a joke. Love the Modding Addon though hope it works and I can add cool mods without having todo a lot of steps (Xbox Gamepass)
Still super happy I never bought this game I just pay a bit for Gamepass and play it from time to time when I feel for it.
I was one of the positive ones but now the game crashes constantly
I'm one to give a lot of grace but it does feel a little like a slap in the face to be charging us for breadcrumbs when they haven't even finished baking the cake!
All frosting and no cupcake. Considering how much the CEO of Colossal Order likes cake one would think she would have done a better job.
@thephantomchannel5368 haha someone should pass her along your reply. Maybe something will actually get done! I'm still having bugging out graphics and low quality assets while CS1 looks fine. I have a high mid-tier computer so I know it's not issues on my end. Just sad honestly because I see the potential in CS2. It's just not quite there yet. My brother is really into Star Citizen and it has the opposite problem. They won't release it after a decade or so of betas while CS2 honestly should have stayed in beta for a while until they really fully baked the cake!
the new DLC has very negative steam reviews so not overly hyped for this
its like pdx (and co) aim to get negative reviews 😂
@@user-wq9mw2xz3j They're tying to speedrun for the worst reviewed DLC. 😆
@@Alp577tbh every game is (not just cities skylines 2 )
1. Look at the list of stuff that now influences Land Value and it's pretty clear they didn't fix it so much as put in the entirely absent sub-system that simply wasn't in the initial release.
2. The asset pack is disappointing, in scope and expense. Putting trees behind a pay wall is also a no-no.
3. Regarding performance, I will always wonder just how badly optimised their meshes are, just how many gazillion unnecessary triangles are grinding my PC down.
Its amazing how all of it was missing. I think they were doing something stupid like how tax rates are based on education level. Hopefully that's the next patch.
Yeah if that's what they fixed, then they never should have released the game in the first place.
This is legit what happened with Warhammer III: Shadows of change DLC. After mass outcry however the devs gave in and admitted the content was lackluster for the price and later released way more content for that DLC. It still was a shit move by CA in the first place, but this is exactly what we should be doing with paradox. Be loud and vote with your wallets.
You would think in 2024 they would come up with something that would top SimCity 4.
Greed has grown quite alot in the industry sicne then. Back in 2010 ish it was mostly EA that was greedy now most developers are
At the time of Sim City 4 we we're all still thinking about how much Games would evolve in the next decade.
Good Times.
Innocent Times.
Eh CS1 did. First thing that did.
Are they taking the piss? Asking for money to get 12 beach houses and palm trees? Something one person can cook up in less than a day? Sorry, this game is so beyond dead to me.
go take a look at the official release trailer and take note of how many unique assets and buildings there are in that. im assuming they made all of those, thousands and thousands of them. that must of taken so much time away from developing assets for the game. infact that whole trailer must have taken a huge budget and time to make including everything else they featured in it.
i agree, games done for me too. its like a team making their first game but these are professionals. crazy.
Yeah, totally! This game is dead to me too
@@karmah88 Don't make excuses for them. They had tens of thousands of models to choose from, from their own CS1 libraries, as well as models from the CS1 modding community, that they only tweaked in some ways. Moreover, they can give the specs to cheap labor from India and Pakistan and have people whip up hundreds of models for less than $5000.
If they had added 40 new trees it would've been nice. Maybe 20 would've been acceptable. But they PROUDLY present us with FOUR new trees... that are also exclusive to people who actually BUY this DLC.
It should've been a free DLC as a first step "we are SO sorry" gesture from CO.
What did you expect from a company telling us: major patches will only drop with dlc releases.
😂😂😂🤷🏽♂️
@@constantinosbou🤓
It's not great news for us ultimate edition owners - this is an absolute disgusting move to 'try and make things right'.
No beaches, c'mon.
You said it yourself - skip it, you likely won’t even notice it.
Ps: not mad at you, Jumbo, you’re my trusted CS update source
Until today the land value system was detached from reality
Honestly what was it even based on?
Seemed like just surrounding housing density
I still can't believe the game has no bicycles in it.
The silly Unity engine proibably cant handle it along with the rest. might be the reason for the game not simulating public transport also
That'll be added into a 2025 DLC. I can see it now. Cities Skylines DLC: Bicycles and Bicycles and Paths! Certainly will show the CS1 players what game is king. :D
You'll be able to buy the Bicycles DLC (with three bike models, two different bell sounds and cycle paths in either red or green) for $24.99 in about 3 years time, don't worry
@@Infernal_Elfis thee game condemned because of unity? ☠☠☠
@@liquidificadoroficial3975 i would understand choosing unity if assets from cs1 would just work here, but everything is incompatible. So there were no reason to be stuck with unity. imaging if they used unreal engine 5. we would have get rtx, dlss, good LOD, good performance and all of it just for free
They could have EASILY added some high and medium density USA & European buildings to the DLC.
Low rise apartments, row buildings could have been colorful British beach ones, then some condos and apartments like in Los Angeles
Should definitely release an overpriced DLC before fully fixing the game. That's the road to success.
The road to success is a roundabout for them and the AI can't figure out how to get off but at least they can say that they are always moving forward even if it is in a circle.
On the other side of the coin, people like me who prepaid for DLC, Im happy to get what I already paid for.
@@Wasthere73 prepaying is what keeps the greed and shitty games going sadly
@@Infernal_Elf I don't know how familiar you are with Paradox as a company but this is honestly the strategy they use with all their games. They basically are the game company equivalent of one piece (endless DLCs bascially). I understand greedy and shitty game companies, but I honestly have faith in CS2. It isn't a unfixable catastrophe, I see the potential. And because I'm familiar with their other titles this type of release did not surprise me at all
So it’s beachfront without….beaches
i just cannot believe how much they’ve screwed this up.
Its sad that CS2 launched in a state thats basically unplayable, in comparison to CS1 with mods. I hope by the end of the year CS2 figures it out and we can have a decent game by the 1 year mark of CS2
I have to say that on my "Low/Mid-Range system" (Ryzen 7 3700x, 32Gb Ram, Radeon RX 5500XT) I have seen a vast improvement in simulation time. When I was playing before this most recent patch, simulation time was terrible, especially once my sitting hit a couple thousand + population...I haven't played extensive since installing the update but it certainly seems to have made a big improvement in simulation speed.
i have 5900x with 3060ti and now i just given up on this game for couple years until it's finished. was hoping that they gonna do something in this update, but no. i already gone back to cs1 and old game is much better overall experience.
The issue is that there are companies that could be genuinely competitive if they wanted to be. Frontier is a good example. However, it feels like Paradox and CO are just hoping modders do most of their jobs for them while they get their shit together. They should maybe consider hiring more devs, unless they want this game to completely fall off the rails. I have personally committed to only playing CS1 until this game is brought up to the same quality.
It's not just a matter of the number of devs, but the time constraints they're being given. I put the blame primarily on Paradox. As in all matters with video games, the publisher is the root of all evil. See, if CS2 fails, it's not Paradox that's gonna go under, it's CO. CO has the most to lose from this failure, but they're clearly not under any position to fight back against Paradox's demands. Just my 2cents
@@_ch1psetum.... you know CO promised the game would be complete and released a full two years before it was finally forced out to market?
And that the reason for the delays was that CO had bitten off more than they could chew, coding-wise, and actually didn't know how to build the game they'd promised?
And that the CEO of CO only got the job because a friend of hers asked her if she wanted to do it, despite her not having any relevant knowledge, qualifications or experience?
This entire mess is completely the fault of CO in general, and their CEO specifically.
@@SuperMickyChow um, I know you're not defending Paradox right now. You know the money hungry succubus that's funding CO's entire budget right now? You know CO isn't an indie dev right? They have a publisher who's demands they have to cater to right?
@@SuperMickyChowyeah it's clear you don't know much about game development and corporate meddling
@@Naffacakes98 except nothing I've said is untrue. It's all easily verified and accurate, so you're the one having an issue with reality, here.
Somewhat good update. Can’t wait to buy it for $20 on sale when it’s done in 2 years.
" Might be done"
This is def my plan. Looking forward to it! Cs1 is just fine until then.
beach front. I was expecting houses that had to border water, with docks, backyard beaches or entertainent areas, maybe a boat. Those just look like houses. what does any of those assets have to do with beach front?
Right, these are beach-in-30 minutes houses.
The exact words from CO were "kissing the water's edge", I believe.
I honestly wouldn't believe a word CO says anymore & more fool any idiot who does...
The thing that *truly* drives me nuts with beach front property DLC, even now that it's free in an attempt at damage control, is that it doesn't include **BEACHES**. There's still no way to make one without some hackery with textures and the dev tool. I would have even settled for a CS1 style beach plot, but they have the ability now to do it right:
Add it as a zone (like a quarry/farm) that requires part of it be in the water and part of it touch a road. Make the zone sandy. Plop some random assets along the beach like chairs, umbrellas, lifeguard towers. plop some assets along the road side like small parking lots and/or bathrooms/changing rooms/showers. Maybe even add some warning bouys out in the water where the beach zone ends. Make it function like any other park.
They **have** the tech to make this, I thought that's what this DLC was all about. Outright offended it's just a scant few houses, palm trees, and not a single dang beach!
What’s really crazy is the fact that Other than slightly different visuals which can be achieved with mods, the traffic AI could also just be a mod, this game could be re-created in CS1... At this point I’m more concerned that the whole game is going to be a write off and they’re just going to dump it. The only thing that cannot be changed is the economy system which at this point is so broken I don’t think anybody wants it in CS1.
I uninstalled the game, it will hopefully be acceptable in a year or so. I'm done beta testing it for them.
Are they even listening to you though?
The DLC sounds like a miss but the base game fixes are a step in the right direction. I'm not interested in playing it until asset mods come out so I don't have to put up with gigantic schools and other service buildings, so hopefully by then there'll be even more bug fixes.
Someone should make a mod to add the dlc beachfront to the game because that all this dlc feels like is a mod.
What really turns me sour against CO currently is that the marketing team advertised CS2 as a city *builder* game, NOT a city *painter* game, which is what it inevitably launched as.
Yes, there are a lot more in depth graphs and "controllable" parts to the economy, but the game holds your hand so hard it simply doesn't allow you to make mistakes with the economy and ultimately whatever you choose is voided. (Plus it was released with a load of bugs that messed with those hand holding economics, making any city over 20k population a nightmare)
I would have been FAR happier if CO released the game under the impression that they were implementing core economic and transportation features over time and let us know as players that they were indeed hand-holding the player whilst they transitioned the game from a city painter style game to a proper city simulation game whilst they fined tuned the core data.
But instead they called the community toxic, buckled down, praised themselves for releasing a new DLC pack and completely ignored the community on real issues.
I was so excited for this game, what a shame. 😢
With the addition of Paradox Mods and the map editor, I was almost ready to pull the trigger on CS2. Then I saw that they're selling $15 in additional DLC and decided that I'm good. I may be passing on CS2 altogether because the greed is insane. By the time the game is going to be in a state worth playing, there will be so much DLC to purchase to make the game enjoyable, that I won't be able to afford it. Really sad it's come to this.
I spent somewhere over $200 on CS1 and it's array of DLCs and for a very long time to come I see myself as perfectly happy to keep playing it. In fact, I think if they keep adding DLCs to the original game, I'd probably keep on buying them when they're on sale. I have yet to see any reason to upgrade to CS2. Some content creators say it's got some better features, but I haven't personally seen any that make it anywhere near as good as CS1.
@@SmallFry140I definitely agree. if they had kept the game the same minus the new road tools I would have been perfectly happy. maybe then us console players could see the game for once 😅
I hope a new realistic city builder comes out that brings out some competition or wipes out cs2 entirely
Seeing the content in this DLC and new to the CS game genre in general, I'm absolutely appalled by this DLC. I own the base game and not the ultimate edition, and to see them give owners of the Ultimate edition this "non-beachy" Beach DLC. The lack of content. I was prepared to buy it today, but I'll wait till its 75% off. I came with the hope of developing maps that might be used by players, as a landscape artist I love using editors to create worlds. I'm sadly disappointed in this, and unless I see some sort of community apology (or make right) by the developers I'll probably end up shelving this game. $15 CAD+ tax. Insane for this. Thanks for the video Jumbo! I appreciate your opinion and non-sugar coating approach. You earned my sub! :D
I think they could have extended a huge olive branch to the community to have offered this small DLC as free to everyone to enjoy. It might have been a good publicity stunt merely to say thank you. Small as it would be, it would have been something... Perhaps offering the Ultimate Edition community credit towards some better DLC in the future. IDK... It's clear when modded assets are added in, it'll make this small DLC look like very little indeed...
Yeah, honestly wish I could get a refund on this dlc, it's not worth $10 to me. It's barely worth $2 with what it is.
Hey come test our beta game at a $90 price tag. Thank you!!
Only if Maxis could come back from the dead and school Paradox...
You forgot Simcity (5) completely? It was CS1 schooling them
@@Bambeakz to be fair, most of what made SimCity 5 the mess that it was, and subsequently laid the groundwork for CS1, wasn't really up to Maxis. It was more EA's doing, asking for stuff that nobody asked for and that nobody wanted to be put into the game. Maxis had to do what their parent company told them to and probably had no choice, even though I doubt they didn't push back on it. Of course, that gave EA the go-ahead on simply dissolving any teams that were too problematic and call it a day
@@nahuelma97I mean there was genuine Maxis blunders that made SimCity obsolete the second CS 1 released. You could build only small towns in chunks, because Sims engine was completely obsolete. I just don't understand how it was expected to work for a city builder when it didn't handle seamless house/town transition in Sims 4.
@@nickgotvyak5890 the engine was carried over like SimCity 4/Sims 2 and SimCity Societies/Sims 3? I didn't know that. I guess it isn't all that straightforward as I thought it was lol
@@nickgotvyak5890 Maxis was only an indepndent studio up to 1997 and they and had mostly finished Sim city 3000 by then. The rest of the history of Maxis EA where ultimately calling the shots and it started with laying off half off maxis staff. And Maxis and another brilliant studio Westwood studios got watered out more and more through the years under EA ownership.
I must admit I clicked at this to get a cheap laugh at the devs/publishers expense, and I was not let down, Steam workshop should have been in the game 10 minutes after that failed launch, 4 trees for the price of 20% of retail price ?? yep got myself a good laugh there.
All I want to know is, do actions have consequences? Because right now it doesn't.
I hope so, it's just a huge insult to their fans and mod developers
I have had the same question for a while in regard to the relationship between Paradox and CO. I feel like CO is being subsidized just like the economy in their game to the point where they can't fail. This is just an assumption of course but in an interview with the CEO from years back she does mention getting some kind of subsidy, possibly from the government. If this is true then it explains why they function like an HR office working for the state, lazy AF. Unfortunately for them this isn't some cozy state job where the only requirement is to show up the minimal days required for them to get a check and a pension. I place a lot of the blame on an incompetent CEO that has no merit and lacks enthusiasm and pride for what she does other than her one contribution to the game in the form of "chirper". She has enough money and more from the success of version 1 to retire to a life of grooming ponies and eating cake. Let a real developer take over so that this game doesn't crash and burn any more than it already has.
Well, yeah - customers bought a broken game for full price (action) & the CEO of CO got rich (consequence) - seems like the system is working perfectly to me...
@@SuperMickyChow "seems like the system is working perfectly". Is it though ? The negative reception to being continuously lied to with misleading promotional material and being sold a minimum viable product would indicate that these companies can't sustain the current broken model that they rely on. People aren't as stupid as these companies want them to be.
Now the question is if they have no consumers buying their product in the future and they are still in business, where is the money coming from and why are they not allowed to fail ?
@thephantomchannel5368 I meant from the point of view of Mariina, the system is working perfectly.
She gave an interview in 2019 to PC Gamer where she said (completely unironically) that the thing she loves most about being CEO of Colossal Order is "Money and fame".
She also confirmed she knew nothing about gaming, had no relevant game development qualifications and was asked to run CO by "an old friend from high school", so I'd add she probably loves nepotism, too.
The big issue with the CS2 release was the fact that so many people pre-ordered and paid in advance for an overhyped product. Then, at launch, they were told by CO/Mariina to let them try and fix it, which ensured almost everyone exceeded the maximum 2 hour play window to get a refund on Steam.
This was a deliberate, calculated and cynical exploitation of the Steam refund system, customer faith/goodwill & the desperation of gamers to have a quality product to play.
So, the system(s) are all working in CO's favour. People who continue to purchase DLC, CCPs and other paid content for this game are only encouraging this behaviour at the expense of the gaming community at large, for their own selfish reasons.
The only way to break the system is not be part of it. The only winning move is not to play.
Let's see how the first "proper" DLC sells - that will be interesting. I fear that the improvements and bug fixes that have been rolled out with the Beachfront Properties pack will actually convince many who are not playing to come back to the game.
The concurrent player figures for the weekend will be the best indicator of this - it is Easter weekend in the UK, so UK players will have up to 4 days off work to explore the updates.
congrats, it fianlly entered Beta stage
the best value of the beach front is that you can zone whole blocks in different zones with different sized lots and not have them all turn into giant 4x4 lots......I basically have been alternating NA, Euro, NA, Euro, to keep lot sizes smaller....now I can add in another alternate.(albeit limited as it apparently doesnt cover the whole spectrum of sizes)
108 assets consists of recolored houses with pools, palm trees.... that's it! No commercial beach buildings, no beach props & no actual beach! what nonscene is this?!
The most awesome thing about this DLC is the fact we cannot easily make beaches for the beach front properties and palm trees. I mean, wanting a beach for beach front property is asking a lot!
Beach Fronts releases half baked, so they can rake in more money and add it to it later. I'm so done with Paradox.
10 freaking bugs for that dlc..... What the actual freak!
Square, residential lots as opposed to lots that conture to the land and road like real lots look horrible in a modern game. This was near the top of things I wanted to see fixed in CS2.
So I have a more of a mid to upper mid range specs for my laptop. I didn't really notice much of a change in performance until I put it on the fastest speed. Fast speed used to barely run in my 300,000 city, animation and simulations would drop to super low fps. Now, fast speed seem to run normally, at least for where the game is currently at. I do find it annoying that SC2 encourages you to build really big cities, but has difficulty simulating those cities. It does seem like they're making steps in the right direction to fix this issue That said, I still drop bellow 30 fps regularly
The games was just not supposed to be released so early and at this point it'll be dead in 6 months, or as soon as a legit city builder game is released. Because it's giving simcity vibes. The problem is in the foundation anything you build on it is just gonna be bad too. The game really just needs to be remade
absolutely u dont build a tall building on just the dirt and clay. u do solid foundations to the bedrock.
Tried it yesterday. Got my hopes up but it’s just not the same and most of the mods either don’t show or doesn’t work, so what’s the point? Sadly I got bored and played only an hour.
What beach? There's no beach areas in any of the maps...is there an option to paint sandy texture now? I've yet to log back in the game (I have the Ultimate Edition btw) as I am posting this comment.
When I think of beach front I think of summer homes on the beach on huge columns like what we have in The Outer Banks in NC.
10$ for a small content pack + 50$ for a game in early access version 0,2, what a great offer. These patches has to be impressive if the game has to survive and reach 1/10 the value of the asking price.
When paintable ground textures?
I bet they would be a dlc
I mean how would we make actual beaches with sand..
@@harmvaneijken2908i bet they would make a ground textures dlc
I think you have that in dev mode already no?
@@Distress.Lol... if you have to enable Developer Mode to access a feature that should be in the base game, then that game is broken.
You CO simps will literally accept anything at this point, won't you?
Ill install transport fever 2 again , thanks for the video
Is there support or will it work on GForceNow?
Its a 3rd of the way through spring and still not even seen a screenshot of console let alone videos, trailers or a release date.
I'm about to give up waiting
Give up. Huge PCs can barely run this thing, and consoles aren’t getting proper mods anyway, just assets.
Considering CO were two years overdue on the original agreed scheduled release date for the PC version & the state it was finally forced out to market in, I wouldn't expect a Spring 2024 release.
Amongst the news about the Mods Store and Beachfront Properties being released, there has been a rather sneaky update on the release date for other DLC being pushed back from Q2 2024 to Q4 2024 - which should tell you all you need to know about the console version release date... ie don't hold your breath because EVERYTHING is being pushed further and further back.
Save your money. Buy something else if you have to. Just stop paying CO for their incompetence.
Very Negative currently
I have never seen that ever in all my decades with Steam seen this
From very positive to CS1 to Very Negative with CS2's first DLC that is some amazing turn around - the wrong way
Well I tried CS2 with the mods today and umm, an hour later I was back on CS1. Ill let you interpret this at will
Four whole new trees that are exclusive to people who bought this thing. Wowzers. I wonder if their engine can handle four whole trees.
Is there anything said about getting more Map tile permits without modding? Some of us still want access to our achievements
My god paradox has manage to disappoint JumboPixel, the happiest RUclipsr on the internet!
What an achievement.
Specific gripe it bunker tooktip for monthly cost has always been incorrect. And somehow, during testing of the game and patches upon release always overlooked the issue foe some really weird things.
I wonder if it has been addressed at this point, as if so, they would finally be going in the right direction.
What is actually the final release date of the Xbox version? I read about spring 2024. Any news about it? Thanks in advance 🤗
The news is the same as it's been for the last 6 months - "We are working hard on the console version and it will be releases as soon as possible"
'works really well' - good for you, it just times out for a lot of other people lol
Great video as always and thanks for keeping us updated. Tbh CS2 has so far been a HUGE waste of money for me as I brought the edition with expansions included and all the other extras, as I loved CS1 so much. But the performance for my 3080 gpu was awful and on top of all the other issues I just gave up on it. I feel like I will now try it again though. Overall after CS1 this game was the biggest fail of 2023 and so far into 2024. I just feel gutted and I fall back to CS1 still
This game sure has given me tons and tons of entertainment, just not in the way the devs intended.
Remember this is not a DLC and only an asset pack
That makes it even worse, a beach asset pack with no beach assets 😮
An asset pack with a DLC price tag... which you are trying to justify, for some reason...

How have they not implemented the actual citizens of your city doing stuff yet? Like playing the the park or interacting with anything so your city doesn't just look like a model?
Does mail work?
What's there to say:
- DLC: I was not waiting for it yet, although I bought the ultimate edition. It feels a bit underwhelming. Let's hope the signature buildings are nice, although I worry since they forgot to fix the bug causing some signature buildings not to work.
- music: it was about time for additional music, but unfortunately I like the new channel less than the others
- bugfixing: well....visually the changed some things, but they forgot to solve the actual problem. Industrial warehouses are still being abandoned due to vehicles not leaving the building. High density residential buildings still seem stuck at level one, no matter how high the land value. And on top of that I'm now seeing that the highest land value in my city is in fact on the outer border of the city with almost no services close by and directly against the highway.
- Modding: I leave commenting on it up to the modders
- Asset editor: still in beta
- Bugfixing: so far I didn't find a single bug that was fixed
There's one thing I can see about your video: I admire the positivity you radiate 😅
Would be great if I could get PDX mods to work at all. There aren't even that many users currently and it's just tanking their servers.
I'll play the game in 5 years when it's complete. Maybe KSP 2 will be ready by then also.
1:58 well that explains why i got a thousand error messages yesterday
Once again the general hope is this game will be ready in A YEAR.
Marginal improvements but still not worth playing until then.
It's going the way of SimCity, CO will be shuttered in a year.
@@Dexter037S4 Sadly I think you are right. Unfortunately CO do not have an up and coming new studio making a rival city builder to come and embarrass them into an early grave.
Has anyone actually got the Paradox mods working?? I have installed 10 mods... they show up in my playlist as activated, I am launching the game through the Steam 'play with mods' option, but no mods appear ingame - either with saved or new cities. I have uninstalled Thunderstore. Why is it that Thunderstore integrated the mods into the game without problem, but Paradox seem unable to make it work??
we want steam workshop.
not paradox mods
Could be nice if they'd be synced. So people on Console will be able to use it too
Im facinated to see so few talking about how there is a lack of BEACHES in the beaches DLC... what is the point in these houses if we cant place them on alongside a sandy beachfront? surely that would have atleast added some value to the pack?
Jeez, i had not thought of comparing dlc prices to the full price of another game.
it can be quite the eye opener especially if u buy a good game on sale and compare it to a non sale dlc.
I like the game because it’s a unique game but I was expecting it on console, and had it pre-downloaded on console before I bought my pc and what do you know they cancel release.
"This has shownall the teams at Paradox how important modding is to the community, and we'll learn from this"
Are they fucking joking here? Jesus! I'm just lost for words. Do they not know why CS1 was popular? Like, even a blind man can read a room. Jesus F' Christ
Have a low range system, back playing tonight will let you know. Can't get much worse for me so anything would be better.
I program for 4 years now and really wanted to mod this game... However, i don't support this sh*t.
They need to spend a good while developing and making the game playable and re-release.
I love this game! Not perfect but I love it. More than 200 hours since January
1:50 - Why I will keep using the mod site that was offering mods before the developers locked theirs out. I wont buy a single DLC that offers NOTHING that can't be modded into game with less then 20 minutes and maybe 3 hours of blender time. That DLC for a broken game is just a insult.
This whole game series is designed for the American impression and to be frank and concise: modern American city planning is nearly soulless and very depressing. It is quite surprising how enjoyable they've actually managed to make it considering these factors. They'd probably have an easier time would they not cater specifically to this understanding of what a city ought to look like.
one new low density residential zone and some new trees? that's it?
So the broken game now has Mods whose download functionality is broken 😅
Did they fix entry congestion for cargo trucks?
Amazing game! And I think it is getting better !
Makes me want to make my own city cim game
the sheer greed of selling Beach Properties for $10… at least EA give you a new mechanic in Sims 4 with their $10 dlc
Los Santos! I wonder if we'll get a gang / organized crime mod :p
I was really looking forward to this game. A shame. A real shame.
Im wondering who thought this DLC was a smart move. The game is just unfinished to a point, where people are mad having spent the money on it. So giving us a few props and charging 10$ feels like early Aprils Fool
Hey I made a mistake buying it early but at least I have it for when it’s fixed later. Eventually it will be in a better state and Cities Skylines 2 has a hopefully long legacy ahead like its predecessor.
Keep criticizing this company, because they will have no choice but to improve somehow. Vote with your voice and your wallets.
Real problem: People are still dumb enough to buy a game the first week before learning whether or not it is worth buying. As long as you rubes are out there, we will continue to receive broken games that the devs tell us to "be patient" as they slowly try to deliver over the years the experience they promised on launch.
Thanks for the review. Looks like some improvement. The beach DLC looks like a simple ripoff. It’s like buying a new set of pots and pans with half the pans missing and no lids.
Paradox has pulled an EA
Beachfront Properties is a lot better than the San Francisco Set. At least they are improving?
How can they be surprised by interest in mods. Have they lived under a rock for a decade?
Meanwhile Frontier is killing it with planet zoo. Its coming to consoles tomorrow.
They are a really good company they mostly listen to the community
@@Itsatrap365 I mean they do have the blessing of Chris Sawyer, one of the best do-gooders in the industry.
Somebody make the ability to read mod, it's an essential part of modding!
