The biggest problem with CS2 at this point is that it's been out for two months and still has not gotten a patch that fundamentally solves anything.

Every patch solves *something*- in theory (industry is still not fixed and, quite frankly, is game breaking as of the latest patch causing millions in profits). But nothing has fixed anything completely, or enough to make it feel like you're tangibly having a distinct experience from launch to now. Education still feels loose and poorly timed out. Industry still feels random. Warnings and complaints from citizens still make little to no sense. City development is still very slow and clunky. Progression is still oddly paced and with unlocks in strange orders (no early farms, but mid rise rowhouses within minutes of starting the game). No beautification tools, and no current plans to implement any. No pedestrians actually using recreation or "doing anything" on the lots they visit. Lack of animations for tons of stuff around your city. Fires that spread endlessly out in circles with no visual but an icon on top of a tree that comes out of the fire completely unscathed. Snow that doesn't accumulate properly on a majority of surfaces with trees that don't have snow visible until the camera is 20 feet from them. People move into "Low Rent" housing and then complain the rent is high. Poor people move into the best house in the city and then complain the rent is high. And let's not forget, every single person rents- nobody owns anything. Nothing feels "done" yet. The next patch won't be until the game is nearly 3 months old, 1/4 of a year will have already passed, and we still have what feels like the first two weeks of an early access product. The pace of fixes and updates is just too slow. It's like watching a meal get prepped with all the burners on low, and you're hungry, and not even the appetizers can come out because nothing's being focused on and everything's only getting a little seasoning here or a light nudge in the pan there. The smell is so good but it's not producing anything satisfying. I'm wondering how much longer we'll have to wait, honestly. I would not describe any of the patches we've gotten yet as "major". They're all small hotfixes IMO.

I'm gonna go back to lurking here, but seeing as discussions about our holiday schedule keep popping up, I just wanted to clear it up. We were closed for just about 2 weeks - from the 18th of December to the 3rd of January (that's 16 days if you're counting all days, 9 days if we're counting business days). You can always find the dates on our social media if you need it.

Alright, back to lurking I go ^^
