It is a shitshow. And it still is, this game is in a worse condition than a early access indi game. The positive reviews are mostly people simping. I waited to see if they fix all of this a few months, just forgot to review it until now, it's not fixed.

Now you're being dishonest because you're implying there's no good aspects to the game, and that's not true there is actually a good game in there and all of the issues.

There are plenty of reviewers out there who I actually respect and have come up with much more nuanced analyzes of the situation.

The situation is that paradox, a multi billion dollar company, released a game in a condition that would get flamed if it was a indy game and that even with the best existing hardware its not running without scratches the 20 fps line from below on lowest settings, and that its still in this condition.

My mid-high tier hardware from 5 years ago runs it maxed out with LOD and anti-aliasing turned up higher than the default "high" preset at 20-40 fps.

Thats a big fucking doubt from me.

You really think someone would do that? Just go on the internet and tell lies?

CPU and RAM

GPU

settings

fps

Ok wow 40 fps... How big is the city?

[-] SwampYankee@mander.xyz 4 points 9 months ago

The population is in the screenshot. The guy on reddit who does the benchmarks has better hardware than I do and uses a slightly bigger city, and he gets 60+ fps average depending on settings.

I'll quote you again...

Maybe just, like, don't make shit up. K? You're making me take CO's "toxicity" statement a little more seriously.
