    I’m surprised they didn’t see this coming. A lot of people had high expectations because of the impact the first game had and if it wasn’t better in every way there was bound to be some negative feedback.

      There was no way the game was going to be better in every way, the previous game was being worked on for the better part of a decade.

        Yeah I think expectations are too high, where people expected a perfect game like cities skylines forgetting that when it launched it was also a very rocky start.

        Gamers in general are just very entitled, and very unforgiving

          Didn’t the sequel have some pretty large problems on launch?

            Nah man, that’s just entitlement. Wanting your $50 game to work well when you buy it is peak entitlement, you should be happy your game is running at 10fps with your 4080 RTX.
