I was so excited for Cities: Skylines II, and it is a shell of the former game. So many systems seem to fake the economy, and it also feels impossible to make your city fail.

Waiting until I see evidence of a good game post-release before I board any kind of hype train.

I still haven't bought that, and looks like I won't be for a while at least, maybe never if it doesn't pan out. I was so excited for Victoria 3 but reading the reviews they indicate that it's also a shell of the former game. Waiting until the game is fully released before letting in any hype has served me well lately.
- Vic3 certainly isn't a shell of Vic2. It's a considerably more complex and interesting game.
  There are however some frustrating and obtuse mechanics, particularly related to warfare. It's not even that bad once you get into it properly, but as a new player it's definitely a bit frustrating and it's definitely different from what players were used to from Vic2.

Can't say I'm excited. I remember how badly they butchered the original game when they bought it, not to mention that art style isn't great

I really dislike the new look. The first one had a simple but sleek aesthetic, this one just looks cheap and generic.

Not sure whether to support this, after they just turned off servers of PA1.

Did they? I was actually going to try this game but I guess I can't now
- Well they stated that they didn't guarantee for server uptime anymore, but the last times we tried, it never was available.

They still haven't fixed the major bugs after how many years in the first game. I don't think I can trust them with a second.

I liked the first one alright but I remember it being a bit easy, and putting it down for rim world, a much more challenging game in the same vein. Guess I'll wait and see on this one.

I really liked the first game but I can’t say I’m confident that this will be too enjoyable, unfortunately.

Yeah, no thanks Paradox.

I think the artstyle is ok in a vacuum. It does look bad if you look at it as a direct sequel of prison architect 1. As for paradox, it would be a new low for them if they managed to fuck up the performance for this game by releasing it early, the only problem I can really see are bugs and they usually aren't gamebreaking (for the pdx games I've played at launch - c:s2 and vic3). I just hope it isn't treated as a cash grab by the higher ups. As long as they don't release it before it is ready the game will be fine, but we know paradox will crunch the developers to release early. I'm mainly just worried about the dlc.
