God I hate this meme format

Normalize unfinished / unoptimized games!

This meme needs to die already. You can simultaneously enjoy a new experience while others rightly have criticisms of it. Often the Venn diagram is a circle.

Unless it's VR, then you're definitely not having fun at 30fps.

Ah jesus this game is shit ain't it. I have never seen this meme being used for a game that isn't dull as dishwater.

Fuck I was actually looking forward to this one.

It's performance, especially on top of the line hardware (13900k + 4090) is dogshit yeah? Just so we're under no illusions about the state this game was released in.

The icing on the cake is colossal orders gaslighting saying that there's no practical benefit to having anything above 30 FPS, as if there's not a tangible benefit to playing games at a smooth 60FPS compared to a sloppy 30 FPS

If I had to choose, I'd take a solid 30 FPS over a constantly stuttering 60 FPS any day, because stuttery frames can completely ruin your immersion.

Any first person game at 30fps will give me motion sickness sadly

Strategy games don't give me any issues though. Which is good because half of them have their campaign speed locked at 30fps with all game logic and map scripts tied to it

Game was worth picking up for a dollar on a 14 day Xbox PC game pass trial membership. I got to see first hand how dogshit the performance is! Look at these great numbers (medium settings, no DOF, no volumetrics, 1440p, no vsync)

Look at it absolutely obliterate my 4090 and push my 13900k to the limit. Love to see games released in this state..

I play on a 720p projector and I'm really happy.

I must admit, when I got my 144hz monitor I was excited, coming from a 60hz monitor. But even if a game runs at 144 fps I don't see much of a difference, many people do, but I don't. It's a bit smoother, but not much.

But if a game runs at 30 fps it's horrible. The Crew, for example, can be switched to 30 or 60 fps, that's night and day!

Everone can play what they want but 30 fps is unbearable in most -not all- games

The problem is when the game is visibly lagging after turning down the graphics.

Saying they were aiming for 30 FPS was a mistake I think. When you play Skylines you want to admire the whole thing functioning especially if you have a decent PC and in 2023 30 FPS is just not acceptable. This is what you get however for making a complex simulation in Unity rather than actually making it from scratch like it should be.

That said, I am getting 30 FPS on a 100k pop map and it is playable once you get used to the occasional jerkiness of it. On my now 8k pop map I'm getting 60-90 FPS after following some guides I've seen online about tweaking some settings.

I hope they do eventually optimise this game better but from everything I've seen in other Unity games that suffer similar problems its going to be a long road to treak.

as an avid fan of cities skylines I'm so very disappointed.

as someone who works in software... I'm eagerly waiting for next year when I do buy the game.

the games industry is a business at the end of the day and building software is a very expensive process. I understand that executives want to see returns start to come in now rather than later and if they make some customers angry then they've weighed the risks and decided it's worth it.
