Cities Skylines 2: New Patch Update & DLC Disaster!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 июл 2024
- Cities Skylines 2 has had a bit of a rough week, with the Beach Properties DLC receiving just 4% positive reviews. In response to the patch that launched PDX Mods, performance improvements, The Editor and more last week, Colossal Order has just released another hotfix patch to address crashing issues, add some UI elements, and other things (full patch notes linked below). In this video we'll talk the patch, mods in cities skylines 2, the disastrous launch of the Beachfront Properties DLC, and some new concerns of mine about future delays to Waterfronts in Cities Skylines 2. Thanks for watching! #citiesskylines2 #gaming #simulation #strategy

Everything going on with CS2 just feel so shady at this point.
like starfield and bethesda？
So-called “wealthy” people in my city: The rent is too damn high!
I’m imagining the rent is too damn high meme
It's too dam high.
Both Paradox and Colossal Order should go out of business because of this. Cities Skylines II is a mistake and an insult to the world.
people makin 100k irl now

"Our mod management is insanely broken and it has made us realise how important modding is to the community!"
I find it worrisome CS twitter discovered only NOW the importance of players having modding in CS. It's not like Cities Skylines 1 wasn't big on that or anything.
It may be just me, but doesn't it seem immoral for a publisher to release DLC for a game that is broken upon release and as yet not fixed?
For the most part yeah...but it is part of the deluxe edition, something those people still haven't had delivered...
@@stewleis3518 well, it's not like we get any value of it anyways, they could have fixed the game first and then delivered, it's not like you can sue a game you preordered for being late anyways... here is the metaphor:
I have been going to a restaurant for 10 years, and they opened new restaurant in another location, promised much fancier service and quality there, so I go visit it. I order the steak that I usually eat at that restaurant, and then get delivered a literal piece of wood on a plate instead of stake, and and when I complain, they bring me sauce made of plastic, because I am a deluxe customer.... luckily the old location is still open, so I go back, and get served the same food I always have... but it tastes tainted now, because the trust was broken.
There's value in it, It's a matter of you find the value credible to you@@neky92
absolutely they should have given it only to those that actually dident refund the ultimate edition.
It's not just you
A beach dlc with no beaches
I got so confused when I read the title, I misunderstood "DLC Disaster" as there was a new DLC for Disasters, but then re-reading it again, checking through the video thoroughly, and reading the description, it was about how the recent DLC was a "Disaster" XD
Same here! I thought it is a new DLC for disasters such as Cities Skyline 1 😂
Disaster DLC vs. DLC Disaster, it's the little grammatical difference!
Duhh dum nuts 🥜
You said it perfectly "More DLC to make this more fleshed out" to make it better is the Paradox way. Im not buying $120 of DLC to make this playable. CS2 reminds me of the Spiffing Brit in a "video game creator" game where he breaks/ exploits the game by constantly releasing trash but still makes money off of hype and marketing but zero quality.
If paradox had drink more yorkshire tea, Sim City.. oohhm I mean Cities: Skylines 2 would habe been a far superior game compared to the first one. But noooo, the coffee was to tempting
My most anticipated game in 2023. Glad I don't preorder much anymore so i didn't waste "whatever it cost". Regardless of whom is to blame, truth is, if the game ever does become worth playing on my rig, I will buy it (but only for a massive discount). Normalizing predatory behavior by gaming companies isn't where I want to be in 2024. Sad, because I really loved CS 1 and had huge hopes for this game.
I like the sad music in the background on this one mate, it really sells home the vibe that skylines 2 has got themselves into 🎺
I find it fascinating, because technically they're doing everything that a good company should do, from the very textbook of "be good, engage your community, and improve/innovate to excellence", but the base game was SO broken, and the DLC is SO pathetic as a result of pre-selling ultimate editions, that nothing they do matters.
It's looking like the base was not even 6 months early, but actually it just didn't work. To it's core almost everything in the game was stacked on weak code that compounded errors all the way up.
Maybe that's why they released when they did. They realised "this game will Never work as required, without starting over, so time to cut losses and just release..."
Good companies hire competent people. You can do all of the other "required" things but the actual requirement is having a brain.
I disagree with you. What they did might've looked like textbook communication, but it was just completely tone-deaf, they eventually started pretending like there wasn't any valid criticism and then even tried to go radio silent, for which they got such immense backlash that they started releasing completely pointless updates again, which STILL didn't acknowledge the state the game was actually in and didn't answer any questions the players had.
Also, the base game does work, for the most part. It's just balanced in a way where the "complex features" (which are apparently be pretty straightforward and not complex) don't matter whatsoever because the city will balance itself out regardless and your choices don't have any meaningful impact. Except for the delivery chain, which was actually broken but got fixed.
I think the game really just wasn't ready and needed AT LEAST another year. I'm, still optimistic that CO can iron out the issues with time, and if they can't, modders will.
A good company would realize letting their CEO interact with the community is a mistake and would use a community manager or someone with communications expertise.
At this rate they should give up on CS2 go back to CS1 improve on that game. Just imagine how CS1 would be with those road tools added in.
I still feel that they both ignored their customer base,l a base defined by Steam Workshop activity. We wanted a better mousetrap and they gave us a cheese grater. Bugs and performance issues aside (yes it was too early), their entire focus, to me was, and still is, wrong. CS was a good game made great by mods and assets. They ignored this. And this shambles of a mod editor release shows that modding was not a primary focus. This pathetic asset pack shows that again asset creation was not a high priority. They totally misread their audience.
Beachfront Properties appears to be the work of about 2 people for maybe one week. That's how sparse it is. If people could make assets on the Steam Workshop, we'd have far better and more numerous beach property assets within 24 hours than the paltry amount included in the asset pack.
Look how that traffic switches to secondary line, just to continue go forward. Jam for absolutely no reason. The main highway is still empty. Embarrassing and well achieved Failure Of The Year.
Customers: "Did you test this shit?"
Paradox: "No that's your job."
Paradox did not make the game. They just publish it.
@@belphegor_deveven then, Paradox should have given CO extra time to work on performance
I’d love to have been at the meeting where Paradox OK’d the release of this DLC.
i wonder if it even was a meeting. Was probably more like a mid level manager. Grabbing a few random people in the canteen. and going like you three got any plans next week? we need this dlc made by Wedensday just let me scribble down what we need on this napkin there you go just release it when done.
@@Infernal_Elf I’m imagining a director screaming ‘I don’t care if it’s garbage, we’ve committed to shipping something’.
I was such a happy person before knowing that Cities Skylines 2 was happening, I had so much ideas flowing in my head, I was contemplating it like it was a live dream, I was expecting it to be greater than seeing GTA 6 releasing, when they announced the game, and the teaser I was so brainwashed by it, if you look at the trailer I lower my head and feels cringe, it doesn't look 1% of what it promised to be, and the second ttailer is just a beautiful make-up to hide the ugliness of this horrific game, tragedy of the century, failure of the modern times, look how stupid we looked for thinking everything was that perfect like in that trailer, showing these things, obviously the ones who knew about it was silent, they couldn't say anything, but they already knew it, so the devs said to them it's Beta, early versions, the release version is gonna be finished and better, however after September, when all the RUclipsrs made their content, October came, no trailer showing the actual game that doesn't use beta footage to show off didn't happen, they released the game and for the shock of the people, it's the same thing, the beta is actually the game, full of bugs, full of problems, and then they, the devs, was laughing, acting like nothing happened, saying "city skylines 2 is the best city builder of this generation" you see this game on game awards, probably these people didn't play it because they don't understand this game, they just read from somewhere and assume it's good.... But don't you feel cringe when you see all these things that happened, leading to this? The game sucks, isn't looking good cor them, I have waited 8 years to see them completely kill Cities Skylines 1 so they could use the sequel to grab more of that easy money they have been collecting these past years without doing anything to deserve it, because they had the modders to do their job, it's easy, the game becomes successful and they think it's because of them, but the modders saves this game, without it CS could be dead, like the other failed city builder games that came trying to compete with it.... If it was made by another company, way bigger, I'm pretty sure people could be way more mad, and claiming that the game is a scam, because if you look the trailers, the way it was done, how they spoke about it and how we got it you can't straight up say to me it is not a scam... because I want to not be a delusional, and give trust to them, because this is gonna be dangerous, if people forget what they have done, if they do something nice and people ending up forgetting about it they will do even more worse things....
I'm not hating on them for no reason, they actually disrespected us all, and we can't deny it, they can't be allowed to fool us again by few more DLCs to get people blinded by something shine in the game to hide the obscure things that they're refusing to fix.
Throw all your ideas out that window. It is not needed now and next year, only after the game may be release-ready.
You know, I am so glad i didn’t jump in with both feet for this game. And i highly doubt i will ever invest in it ever.
Reminds me of Humankind which also released in an abyssmal state and had the DLC pumping out before even the most crucial bugfixes
This beach properties release made me think what an extra waste of money the ultimate edition was to me and I wish I could get a refund. At the moment I’m still at CS1 player with the CS2 game just gathering dust. Sad times for CS and it makes me feel sad to give such negative opinions for CS2 due to how much I love CS1
For me it's still the performance issue. Not enough is being done, just minor improvements for lower end pc's. This says to me that there just isn't much improvement that we can hope for. The fact the my cities grind to a halt at 200k pop with a 5900x is just really frustrating and frankly not worth playing regardless of the content they release.
Had to load, exit, load, exit, load, exit then it worked, haven't had any crashes since the patch and seems a bit faster, but not that noticable with 200k pop. Some radio mods still don't load. The land value fixes did help. Still not a great showing from CO, and they still haven't said the words "we apologize". The new assets may as well have been included in the original assets as they aren't different enough from the regular NA and EU low density assets. A slap in the face to those that would have to pay a la carte for the asset pack and a front hand backhand double slap in the face for those that bought the ultimate edition
Given some larger CS1s just got updated recently, and the fact my CS1 ELT has SAND where I can go created BEACHES before using the Parks DLC, and Historic Towns Content stuff backed up with Shopping Malls Content pack one wonders why most of us are back at CS1.
That said CS2 is finding a use right now to do YT content on Transport Planning and Engineering while CS1 is great for mass Spatial Planning and Urban Geography applications so despite the 4% and providing I can find time I just chug along fine with both games even with disappointments in CS2
I like how you left the glitches in your video I got a good chuckle from it. I played a few hours with the slim pickings of mods got very bored really quick. So went back to CS1 uninstalled CS2 60gb vs. 15gb and a more fun game.
Thank you for doing this video and keeping us up-to-date.
The sad thing about this game is the fact many content creators were used by both Paradox and CO in giving us false hope on this being a good game. Even some of them may have lost both subscribers and reputation due to it.
To make matters even worse many of us cannot get a full refund either.
Guess I’ll wait another yr for the game to be fixed. Tried the game at launch and it did not feel like a step up. The mod community should not be in charge of fixing and fleshing out a game.
Am I the only one that wants to see what a day in the CO office looks like? I admit, I like CS2 more than most seem to. I think it's got the bones to be way better than CS1, and I think a LOT of players forgot how little was in CS1 when it was first released. That being said, there is a lot of room for improvement. Like, a lot. The release of the DLC was, indeed, myopic at best. I bought the ultimate version, and I don't have any regret, but I also wouldn't complain if they pushed off the dlc to fix the base game, first. As for PDX Mods, I have to say that I mostly like it. If they could figure out a way to only keep the most up-to-date version of each mod on there, I would like it even more. Also, if there were better filtering options and, please, for the love of Pete, let me look at the mods in list view. I don't need to see a full-sized tile of the map that JoeShmoe uploaded without even a single picture of the map....6 times.
Anyway, I refuse to hate on the game, in general, but man, I really do hope they improve the produce because it definitely has room to grow.
CS1 had little content, but the game worked perfectly at release IIRC I was there and dont remember any issues
CS1 had more content and polish from day 1. I remember working parks, animations etc. Even Beaches lol 🤣
Why bring up that CS1 had less content? As a way of justifying why CS2 has less content?
You might also be forgetting that the studio was much smaller and was making a new IP. Neither is the case with CS2.
If they wanted to build some good will... the Beach Front DLC shoulda been FREE. At tops this DLC is barely worth $2.99 USD.
No, should have been with the base game in launch.
Game crashes on desktop now way more than it did before. At least one per playthrough. Mods have made life easier, such as the line tool, road anarchy and move it. Game still suffers though from low variety of buildings. Its quite prominent when plopping row housing, they all look the same and it looks bad. Also skyscraper designs are few, and again it looks really bad. Game really needs an update on that regard, I dont mind paying for it, but they'll need to deliver at least 10 new building models per building category. Other than that its an alright game.
Someone please sue both CO and Paradogs already.
Lovely video I really love how the Green Tram embodies this whole Game project.
Imagine being paradox and realizing after who knows how many games released (all of which with massive modding communities) that modding is important. WTF
Yeah Paradox games all have gigantic modding communities. Much rather have waited longer for the game to be actually finished, along with a fully worked out modding platform
literally all they had to do was add traffic mods to the original game and upgrade its graphics and slap a sequel name on it and this would have been a huge success. but instead they felt the need to put ridiculous unasked for features into a fun and lighthearted city sim.
Yeah that and I do like the modular buildings. Somehow they managed to cock it all up and I don’t know quite how they managed that
0:50 Really love this airplane part, because: What would you expect in a simulation game? Right, it is perfect simulation of such things as airplane movement. But wait a minutes... how is it even possible for an airplane to make such weird movements? Not!
I hate the enormous cranes needed for building small houses. I preferred the scaffolding that went up around smaller properties.
Also, the vehicle dynamics, why do they all have crappy soft suspension and roll around corners or lane changes. Meh.
There was a Beach Properties Asset Pack | Highlights Part 1 video with Preethi and one of the developers that they removed from RUclips and no follow up video released yet. They unlisted it and removed and disabled the comments. I posted a link to it as a reply to this comment but I think RUclips removed it since it had a URL but Google it and there's a link on Reddit to the video that works.
@Jumbopixel They did release the second dev diary for the Beach Properties pack but it is only on the CO website where comments aren’t available.
So more delays. How did the devs even expect to release the DLCs on time in the first place? Have they been sitting on their thumbs all this time? Enough time passed already to fix the game or release the DLCs - and they failed at both!
There's actually a dev dairy #2 but it's been released ONLY in colossal's website
The footage you use in the background is hilarious 😂
I hope steam will one day remove games if they are too negative. thats the only way these companies will learn.
No. I am not in favor of limiting access. A targeted campaign could sink a game. But all players can vote by their playing. The hours played on CS2 right now is telling. Companies do pay attention to that.
No it’s not needed. Just simply don’t drop a penny.
I don't like saying mean things to devs who are mostly just getting screwed over by the management. But its getting to a point now where we can honestly wondering how much of this is actually the devs or unrealistic management requests. Its been how long now? Mods still don't work right, Low end hardware users still cant play comfortably.
I've worked in many places before now and every single place had that one person who would slowly drag the rest of the team down. I fear they have this same kind of thing in CO. Work out who that is and get rid of them. This way things might start looking better.
Asset packs being a thing is why we can't mod in assets.
Yes , being someone who has the ultimate edition the beachfront DLC is so lame. In Oz you are taken for a ride for $15. Beachfront properties without a beach to put them near. Right up their with none of the houses have driveways to the rd connection or building single story houses with tower cranes. You would also think they would have done what they could to get mods up and running as fast as possible without issues as modders are the ones who can fix and finish the game properly for CO. They already worked out how to create and make available before CO provide the option. And the reason there is a whole 4 palm trees available (probably took them half an hour to design) is its code.... 4 trees equals 4 letters =CO giving as a coded finger...LOL.....Sim City will be back next year.
I just looked at the Bridges and Ports DLC release date and mine does happen to Say Q4 2024, so unless they quickly changed it, it must be some time zone thing maybe.
That 'Overloaded' Tweet ... I can hear them yelling at PDX, "SEE! WE TOLD YOU!" But they can't just say, "Look, we wanted to do the things you wanted, but they wouldn't let us..." I mean they could, but not and keep their jobs...
beachfront starts with beach.... @8:40
All you get is the front. The Potemkin Village.
I wish those Beach Front Properties would look like something you might find on a Beach Front.
I highly doubt that Colossal have anything to do with Paradox Mod's server infrastructure. This seems like the kind of thing Paradox would want to control, since it's their marketing brand and attempt at pushing people away from the Steam Workshop as a whole.
Finally a a City Skylines RUclipsr from New Zealnd.
The only thing i like w the dlc is that it adds beachfronts as a zone option. Thinking of alot more types to come, i do like that. Thats about it though..
We'll release this haöf-baked build, and let our customers find the errors for is. What could go wrong?
I can’t start the game via Steam. I have to use the thunderstore and load the game by clicking the vanilla tab. Then the game will start. Not sure why.
the exit ramp issue at 2:49 hurts me so much
They need to get together with the publishers and delay every DLC for a year and bring in extra help to fix the game. KSP2 also released broken but have done so much (releasing around the same time). Offer partial refunds to appease the ultimate edition buyers.
Tried to launch the game for the first time since November thinking maybe the mods would have made the game playable along with all of the performance patches since then. Game loaded then there was no GUI in the game. Had to force close. Might very well be the last time I launch it. This is after preordering the ultimate edition as soon as it was posted, upgrading my computer to a Ryzen 9 7950x3d, a RTX 4070TI. Paradox has absolutely destroyed this franchise and it is such a shame. The fact that they have not done anything to try and make it right with the customers speaks to their true motives. The asset pack should have been a free gift to make amends but they think people will want to pay for it. I feel for the developers that truly tried to make a good game but their corporate overlords deserve everything they are getting.
I was scammed $90 for this sham. I had to stop playing a while back because it’s way too maddening being robbed like this. It’s a piece of crap game, a total waste!!!! Every week that passes, CO screw it up huge time every time! They are dead to me.
I pretty much have to restart once, if not twice, every time I want to play to get the mods to actually boot up
the thing with the bridges and ports dlc was an error, it has been updated to q4 2024
0:43 shop front says Obuwniczy which is shoe shop in Polish lol
Since the mod update I get a strange bug (I'm assuming it's a bug) that causes my road tool to jiggle in a semi transparent fashion. Same problem with tiles and zoning. I'm also unable to close "the white (info) view" using the "i" shortcut 🤷
They're between a rock and a hard place. At first glance, one would attribute this to continued mismanagement, but I believe this hints at a greater issue. They probably knew it wasn't the best idea to release DLC given the current state of the game, but they may well be running out of funds. Profits may be drying out as they desperately flail at the issues: they needed an injection of cash, knew this was a long shot but had to go for it. Yet it only served to feed the raging dumpster inferno.
Game's in a steep nosedive, and nothing short of (financial bailout) angels from Paradox is going to save it. This DLC release has definitively proven there's no goodwill left to expect any further money from the community. With plenty of good reason. The Paradox overlords must be sharpening the axe, pondering when enough is enough.
Damn, if only there was a mod hosting service that already existed and could handle the load they experienced and was more fleshed out and feature rich.
If only
You know how SimCity 2013 died and made way for Cities: Skylines when it required an internet connection to play? Well, C:S2 with mods requires an internet connection or it won't launch. There is a workaround when mods are moved to a different directory, but still... the very thing that killed off SC2013 and that franchise has shown up in the C:S franchise. Unbelievable.
Patience and good-will is very much in short supply amongst the fanbase at the moment.
While on one hand it would've been great if the release of Beach Properties and the accompanying major patch had been a "home run", that could inadvertently cause issues in the medium-term if CO don't maintain that momentum.
Good-will is hard to earn, but easy to lose.
As much there is a lack of patience and goodwill from the fanbase, CO desperately needs a win of some kind however small, if only to steady the ship.
But the likelihood of that happening feels pretty remote at this time.
I've said it once, and I'll say it again - it'll be a miracle if CS2 sees out 2024.
SimCity 2013 got canned over far less.
I keep waiting to hear that PDX has severed ties with CO, and CO has gone under. I don't wish that to happen, but this launch, and the DLC were so bad, I'm amazed they havent simply given up. They bailed on Lamplighters for less. PDX's publishing arm has really been shoveling some low end garbage in the last few years.
0:15 wtf is the tram doing???
I just had a thought about the lack of building designs.
On the one (game developer) side its kinda smart, think about it, they knew how much modding helped the first game, so creating less building designs _in the hope_ that modding would cover it, _would_ be a smart financial movel instead of paying people to develop more building designs and having the game files be even bigger, just have the players themsevles chose which extra building designs they want into their own games from modding.
releasing a beachfront property DLC without actually having a beach to put it on is just so on brand for CS2, ngl
It’s crazy how fast colossal orders reputation went down the drain 😭
10:00 I think it is a timezone difference for the release of Bridges & Ports, the date is Coming Q4 2024 for me and I'm United States Eastern.
Does this game still not have the road query tool from the first game?
When the bean counties and shareholders make decisions you get cities skyline 2
Is anyone else having issues with their high density residential. It’s always level one, despite the occupants being happy and wealthy. The only negative attitude is house size. 🤷🏼♂️
I feel like its just trainwreck after trainwreck every time they try to do anything at this point.
i wouldn't rule out a delay to the console release either, that has just 3 months before its supposed to be done and from the performance gains in the game, I either see that release as being bad too or delayed itself.
Thanks for the update. I just wish they would fix the simulation.
They literally held middle class buildings back from the initial release and called it DLC LOL
The worst part about all of this is that the developers will end up being the ones to pay the price for management's many, MANY poor choices.
Touch wood, but I’ve been very lucky since the mod update released. Haven’t had any crashes, mods have worked fine too. The Beaches DLC is pretty disappointing, with the lack of commercial buildings and actual beachfront. But I think at this stage I’m just resigned to being disappointed.
Here's the real crappy things about fiscal quarters...they don't line up with calendar years. Q4 2024 is Jan-Mar 2025 on the calendar. This means Q1 2025 isn't coming to at the earliest, April 2025
This should have been a free apology dlc, then the lack of effort would have been considered as justifiable, but scamming us on $10 each for 20 assets and 4 trees is simply unforgivable
I was looking forward to this game so much. Was the game I wanted most last year. Followed by Forza Motorsports...lol
Fortunately I saw the warning signs before buying either of them. Its hard to believe this game has landed so poorly.
I'm not seeing any comments on amy forums about the fail of the vaunted route finding algorithm. Ot doesn't appear to be better tham CS, sometimes seems worse. I like playing the hame, but I should enjoy it a lot more.
are assets allowed on paradox mods? i haven't seen any yet
Coming soon apparently
I don't think I'll buy it, even when it's finished, because I'm sick of companies selling me unfinished games as though they are finished. I don't want to look at every game being sold to me on Steam and have to ask myself if the game is actually finished.
CO and Paradox have gone silent. Nothing in over two weeks from them. It's wild. Wheres the communication? Wheres the status updates? Why is the Community Manager not just hosting a FAQ Panel every monday instead to answer questions related to the game. makes no sense they would just go silent.
Sorry to ask but does somebody know The release date on the consoles version?thanks
I love the B-Roll.
Idk if the crashing thing is paradox or steam/xbox, i had a city that crashed religiously playing through the xbox store and on steam 0 crashes, same exact save file, same mods
Any update on the console release?
I reopen up simcity 5 from the xbox gamepass just for fun. Seeing the assets of my city was stunning when compared to whats have been done in CS2.Simcity 5 now comes with all the expansion and dlc possible, while very very not a perfect game I had a blast playing this 10 years old game. I would say, I had more fun then playing CS2. You should try it out and make a compare video for the fun of it.
How do they have time for DLCs when they haven't even finished their main game?
In April, one would expect the solutions not the introduction of more problems. Maybe espcially ones that we are asked to play for. I still want to play the game without Beta-tester mindset, since Oct of last year, we're still testing...
Not sure how long CO expects "patience"? TBH, I believe they have used most of that up, now they are chewing into "good will"...
Really don't want to sound negative, however, for gamers that loved CS this is very painful. Still brillaint idea's, if we were all not actual humans and just data points. I wouldn't expect any more significant surprises here, I think we get how this is all going to play out. Just another method of monetizing our emotions.
As usual - smaller companies cultivate, while corporate entities exploit and destroy. Paradox might slowly turn into another EA-like game butcher, if some drastic changes to the management are not introduced.
My game won't even launch if I enable mods. Just hangs at the loading screen.
Just looked over at Steam
Yep it says Q1 2025 and I doubt the trusty NZ Time Zone has anything to do with it given I live in JAFAville
I like all the ideas on sc2, but I wont be coming back to the game unless they double the performance.
No Beaches? Just zone landfill that way your beachfront property will see how trash it is.
Are you from New Zealand? Noticed the NZD in your steam shop for the DLCs, if so nice to know another New Zealand RUclipsr.
Yes, he is a kiwi.
So *now* they're learning that mods were important to the Cities Skylines franchise? Where were they in the last few years of Cities Skylines 1? Asleep? Or too busy writing simulation systems for Cities Skylines 2 that never made it into the game?
As much as this game needs work, I’m more than willing to suffer through it and wait. Despite its issues I enjoy it
