[@Marksenpai26]

Each of Matt's cities skylines videos is literally a full-page bug report.

[@dbclass4075]

More like a novel at this point.

[@lagronion]

​@@Six_Gorillionin 30 hours of gameplay I've encountered one semi game breaking bug. The game is nowhere near as buggy as people make it out to be

[@SineN0mine3]

​@@lagronioncompletely agree. I'm getting so sick of hearing about the complaints to be honest, I just want to be play the game and enjoy it with our constantly nitpicking every little thing wrong with it. If it's so awful go back and play CS1. Oh wait, that's a buggy broken mess as well. Making a city Sim in 3D is basically the holy grail of game design at this point can we please stop acting like it's the easiest thing in the world? This is what ten years of development has lead to. In that time almost nobody has even tried to compete with Cities 1. Why? Because it's a niche market full of the most demanding and ungrateful players in the world of video games where the fans are already more demanding and ungrateful than any other type of entertainment. If it's so easy, make a better one and you'll make millions selling it like collosal order have done.

[@willy.c]

​@@lagronioni haven't found a game-breaking bug yet. But I haven't found much game-play either

How do these devs not watch Matt's videos and treat that as a challenge for what their game NEEDs to be able to do

[@Astraeus..]

Realistically they can't even get it to do what it's supposed to do right out of the gate, getting it to do whatever Matt is trying is way too much to ask.

[@whitetailprince]

probably because they want less knobs not more.

[@jesseweber5318]

The devs of Satisfactory made a build for Josh (Letsgameitout) due to his abysmal frames on the nuclear silo. I coulda swore The mars game gave Matt a version that made it so his eggplant bridge did crash the game too

[@hypeflexington7081]

​@@jesseweber5318don't forget the fish bridge too or the carrot bridge

Seems like it's a lot of issue for Lod for the water shader. That it just doesn't have the resolution to do steep level changes.

[@juances]

I miss the cars being washed up by the waves from the first game. Hope they plan to change the physics later on.

[@MistakenID032]

I absolutely did NOT spawn a Tsunami/‘s to watch them sprawl about in the waves >_>

Game hardly runs as is. No way they would add anything else to stress it more like that haha 😢😢

[@SpringySpring04]

Is your pfp Kurisu from Steins;Gate? Also like that your channel has touhou gameplay, very cool

[@Xarestrill]

I thought it was interesting that after you flooded the city and looked underwater, the buildings were destroyed, but the cars were fine and still driving around.

[@psychorabbitt]

When Matt was drawing the roads and it looked like a perfect dartboard, I was expecting him to destroy the city by hitting it with meteor strikes.

[@EncontheCrow]

The follow up to this should be Mount Olympus, a city built on a mountain really high, as high as you can make it while still having big and tall buildings.

[@thenatedogg]

You should have tried using the road tool to make retaining walls / key walls maybe the walls would not have leaked

[@thomasphillips885]

Love how the thought of just raising the land a little higher for the seawall never occurred to the engineer 😝

I'd really like to buy this..but I hear so many bad things..performance, bugs..should we really keep rewarding these devs who release betas as full releases?

[@BananaViral_Pooper_Viral]

Up

[@Astraeus..]

I've had full on arguments with people who defend this crap (for this game specifically) by saying "oh well the devs said there were issues before release that they were going to work on fixing" as though that at all works. The logic behind thinking that's actually acceptable is part of why the gaming industry is so busted these days.

[@thecoolestofthe834s2]

[@michaelweston7272]

Just wanna say I love that in your videos you explain and tell loads of cool facts, I’m currently doing an engineering apprenticeship and it’s nice knowing new stuff thanks to you

[@Raso719]

I think the problem is the surface of the perimeter wall is too low and the terrain under the roads keeps glitching and leaking.

[@monad_tcp]

its the angle, not that its too low, why no one gets this, don't build 90 degree walls with terrain

[@YTDE426]

The city resembles more a city from old English legend that was built below sea level and kept dry by a tall earthen wall. It was flooded because someone thought it was a good idea to open the damn to meet someone outside.

[@matsv201]

Being a civil-engineer, one part of the game annoys me a lot. All the heavy trucks in the game have 3 axles tractors and 3 axles trailers. Truck looks like that, pretty much nowhere in the world. (there are some exception like special load trailers) The trucks. All the trucks is using euro trailers, even the american. The typical interstate standard truck and trailer combination is a 3 axle tractor and a 2 axel trailer. All axels with but the very first with double tires. Hence the term 18 wheeler (4 axles with 4 wheels, 1 axle with 2 wheels). While yes, other combinations are legal but some only on exception. In Europe, the type of truck that is the typical that is allowed pretty much everywhere in Europe typically look in way of two ways. The first way, the standard "eurotruck" have a 2 axle tractor truck with double wheel in the rear. Then a 3 axle trailer with no double wheels. The other alternative is a 3 axle tractor with only ONE axle with double wheels, this is typically the middle axle, but sometimes its the last, this is followed by a trailer that only have 2 axles with only single wheels. While you are alowed to pull a 3 axle trailer with a 3 axle, this would impend on the maximum load alowed. This would typically only be done when the trailer would be transported half empty due to lack of the correct type of truck. Its legal but uneconomical (because you are not alowed to load it to capacity with this combo). What you typically never see in Europe is a tractor with 2 axles with double wheels. The reason for this is while you are alowed to carry 11.5 tons on the driving axles, you are only alowed to carry 19 tons (typically) on a pair of axles with one or two driving axles. So if the first axle carry 11.5 tons, the second axle can only carry 7.5 tons. This then makes sense having the driving axle with double wheels carry the higher load, and then a trailing axle only carry the lower load. this also allow the trailing axle to counter steer, decreasing the wear on that tire. With the exception of lumber trucks or rough retain trucks that often have two power axles. This was until last year the rules for all trucks in Europe apart from two countries. Sweden... and Finland. In Finland you can legally drive a 76 ton truck that is 34.5 meters long. Why 34.5 meters? Because that is the exact length of a eurotruck pulling two euro trailers after each other. (those are called A doubles or B triples)

[@vancouverstuff284]

Day eighty two of asking Matt to add the Second Narrows Bridge, Ironworkers Memorial to the Wheel of Bridgetune It is a cantilevered truss bridge, carrying 6 lanes of traffic from Vancouver to North Vancouver in B.C. across the second narrowing of the Burrard Inlet. It's name comes from the fact that it collapsed twice during construction, which unalived 23 people in total (Hence the name, ironworkers memorial).

[@Astraeus..]

Atlantis isn't an "ancient" city, it's 100% fictional. Plato made up the legend of Atlantis, likely as a means of helping teach people that unbridled hubris and excess could lead anyone to destruction.

I know what you are doing is something the Devs never intended but this game so far is so shoddy from all the game play I've seen, it looks and acts terribly, I feel like it hasn't been cared for in the making and it's been rushed and the term 'thatll do' has been used alot during its creation

[@Astraeus..]

Far as I know the devs outright told people it was going to have performance issues/bugs/etc.. even before launch and they were going to fix it after.... and people still eat it up for some reason. I've seen so many people defend it precisely because the devs said they were fixing it, as though that somehow excuses releasing a game they actively knew was sub-par and broken.
