12:40 My Review of Cities Skylines 2

[@Peter33033]

The low rent problem is insanely easy to fix. The solution? Low rent housing. If you have for example an suburban area with high rent problems all you have to do is to convert one block to high rent housing. If you have high rent problems in your downtown area then is it good to build low rent housing right on the outskirts of the downtown. Thats what i did and the high rent got snapped out of existense

[@Sportsmonkey]

Low rent is a glitch unfortunately

[@user-vo9wd6tx6c]

3:05 "They need to fix the high rent issue in this game." Sounds like they're just going for realism at this point 🙃

[@Sportsmonkey]

I think you are right. But biffa has mentioned that it’s a glitch. Like the “not enough goods” popping up too much

[@TiagoMorbusSa]

honestly my real problem with cities skylines 2 is that it's a step back from the first game in many regards, including, and very importantly, with mods, BUT it also doesn't change anything meaningfully from the first game, you know, like new gameplay styles, or new game modes, or paradigm shifts or anything it's just more of the same, refined in a lot of ways, but if I want more of the same, I already have cities skylines 1

[@Sportsmonkey]

Mods are here and work!

[@karmah88]

totally agree with that. its nice that things are refined and looking better straight out of the box, but there's nothing new about it. i can make Cs1 look almost just as good as Cs2 with mods, i have tens of thousands of assets to choose from, endless creativity with map creation, almost total customization of everything looks wise, detailed economy mechanics with all the DLC's i bought etc.. I can't see that just polishing a few things justifies a whole new game. I get the whole "but its vanilla and vanilla cs1 wasn't great" argument too, its true, but i only played vanilla Cs1 for an hour or two to get the hang of things years ago, i cannot play vanilla Cs1, its just not fun after everything thats been provided for FREE by the modders. and you just know this game will have all the same DLC's we just bought for the last game. so we'll essentially just be paying for CS1 all over again, its just a bit more polished now, with less features than vanilla Cs1 actually had.

[@Sportsmonkey]

I agree CS2 needs more assets and content ASAP. I get it. But I don’t think it’s as bad as people make it out to be

[@cherriberri8373]

​@karmah88 and frankly I'm gonna say something really bold and drastic: your game shouldn't have to be developed 50% or more by unpaid randoms on the internet over time. The vanilla game SHOULD be enjoyable and at least somewhat new irregardless of mods

[@tomjewell2509]

I was really enjoying playing until the crashes began...now I simply can't play because I can't trust the game will last five minutes without crashing to desktop.

[@Sportsmonkey]

The crashes are gone and I haven’t had a crash or performance issue in about 4 week.

[@tomjewell2509]

@@Sportsmonkey I'm jealous. Mine just started once I surpassed about 6K inhabitants.

[@dfgrow]

Ok going to drop a few cons for you as someone who's played over 300 hours. My biggest city is 570k Population Con 1 Lack of growable buildings theirs not a enough Variety of building that grow in zones Con 2 Traffic does understand how to drive bad line switches ect Con 3 The Amount of schools needed especially elementary schools Con 4 Water graphics of water on dams ect Glitch through walls ect Con 5 Lack of more natural disasters Con 6 Grass like where is it even simcity has it Con 7 Total lack of anything for the cims to enjoy water fronts making water front homes and stuff useless I have a ton more if you want just let me know

[@Sportsmonkey]

Good list. Can’t disagree

[@markwalpole2065]

Excellent points about both sides of the game. I really hope they fix the cargo train stations soon!

[@mikegunther5740]

Glitches seem like easy fixes

[@Sportsmonkey]

I agree. I think performance was priority number 1

[@DeerLetsplayCrysiser]

Do you edit your videos yourself? Isn’t that like way too much work to both create and edit?

[@Sportsmonkey]

Yeah I do. It takes so much time to do both. It’s hard but fun

[@dr_melski]

the high rent problem just adds realism to the game... single home with a garden? mr moneybags better work as CEO

[@frankjohn827]

I think biffa also mentioned this glitch

[@Sportsmonkey]

Ahh see I am not the only ones be

[@leigero]

Good content, but I feel like I've been yelled at for 14 minutes. haha you could probably tone down the shouting a bit. Just some constructive criticism. Keep up the good work though.

[@Sportsmonkey]

Thank you for the feedback. I will take it and improve.

[@Hiimcool168]

I never seen a man who supports the game like crazy

[@Sportsmonkey]

I still think this game has good things to come I agree it has bugs and issues Some of the bugs like high rent has been fixed. Also have find it. So you can detail how

[@jakeallen5663]

Really liked your honesty. Thank you

[@Sportsmonkey]

Thanks for watching!

[@aaron-roberts]

I feel you should've scripted this or something. Maybe have focused on 5 pros and then 5 cons.. instead of dancing around between them.

[@Sportsmonkey]

That’s a fair point. I wanted to do a more relaxed chill video

[@IconicDG]

I see your con on the specialized industries, however I kind of like how they spawn in random areas as it feels more like it would in the real world. When looking at the coal and stone and those it feels like they would just randomly go through the industry area and get all the minerals. One this I don't like about them is how they put the circle that limits them. I have just started doing multiple industry's for the same industry to make it look like there are multiple companies and roads.

[@Sportsmonkey]

Yeah I hate the circle limits.

[@jakeallen5663]

Great point tour!

[@cherriberri8373]

Everything is being designed to be more restrictive and random in CS2 and I hate it. I like to have control of how my cities look

[@bradplayscities]

20k just a stones throw away!

[@Sportsmonkey]

I got it and then lost it lol

[@Persianking1997]

The best channel on yt that expains cs2 ❤ Really found your videos useful. Keep it up man

Thank you for watching!

Nice review

[@Sportsmonkey]

Thank you!! 🙏

[@mrspeeddemon727]

Your graphic settings mean nothing to anyone when you dont state your pc specs or graphic card youre running.

[@Sportsmonkey]

3070 ti and a 5900x ryzen

[@thesender9563]

Nice city

[@Sportsmonkey]

Thank you!!!

[@thesender9563]

@@Sportsmonkey I'm dying to play cities 2, but I only have a PS5. Hopefully it comes out on console soon.

[@davidtomolowiez9440]

I am stealing your graphics settings!

[@Sportsmonkey]

lol do it

[@tiffanysabine]

well I play with no preformce problems and i dont have the best pc.... just a simple ryzen 5 with 32 GB ram and for graphics I have a 3060

[@Sportsmonkey]

Same here! 3070 ti. Go check back through old comments. So many people don’t even try with their PCs and just think it’s bad

[@tiffanysabine]

@@Sportsmonkey People are annoying... most off the time.. Just try play around with the settings doesnt it work time for a upgrade.. its so simple...

[@ryanwexlier5540]

I also dont have a problem with the performance of the game! I think people are still just saying that

[@EzaRasyidiChannel]

I’m waiting the game became much better. And the summer sale or winter sale again 😂😂😂😂

[@Sportsmonkey]

The performance wise is no longer an issue. Full settings and my gpu is at around 60-65%

[@EzaRasyidiChannel]

what gpu you use? @@Sportsmonkey

[@Sportsmonkey]

@EzaRasyidiChannel 3070 ti

[@mikegunther5740]

Very good list! I really hate the how I can’t build my own industries. Very boring

[@Sportsmonkey]

Thank you!

[@youtok6028]

I think you make some really good points. Graphics definitely are better

[@Sportsmonkey]

Thanks

[@featheredfork2453]

I have played the game on my pc since it came out and have not had a single crash. I'll consider my self lucky

[@Sportsmonkey]

Yeah I’ve mostly had good luck with that as well
