I've played CS2 for weeks. Days of hours. Have completely enjoyed it.

It's not finished and they're honest about that. Also, comparisons to CS in it's finished state (easy to do unconsciously) overlook just how many DLCs it took to get to full maturity.

I enjoy the game and have no regrets for buying. I don't feel deceived since I could have asked for as refund.

I think some of this is a specific kind of FOMO. Fear of missing out (on what could have been). I'm hoping they do enough to fix the parenthetical.

Edit to add: my computer has great specs for late 2020. It's not top of the line, but it has everything I thought it would need, CPU, RAM, GPU. That may impact my experience.

The game was unplayable on my 5 year old laptop. But it's not really a gaming rig anyhow...

Regarding specs:
Even youtube creators supposedly had trouble (at times) running it at a consistent framerate.

Not that I had it when I bought it...It ran fine at 1440p ultra wide and (afaik) medium/high settings.

Agree.

One of the main videos I know.

Edit: fixed link.
