    If 90% of gamers can’t play a game, is it still worth releasing it like that?

        Its a single player game, who gives a shit how someone run it. If someone is spending 1.8k on just 2 parts I think its fair to hope a game will run “well” like this is abysmal.

            Nope, its pretty rare for games to release in such a horrid state where even top of the line stuff isn’t able power through it. Typically its the midrange/low end cards that are stuck with horrid frames and rely heavily on DLSS/FSR (even though that is annoying). The meme of “Can it run Crysis” shows how rare it is for a game at its highest be literally unplayable with modern hardware.

              You don’t pay much attention do you?

              Here’s an eight year old thread where a bunch of REEL GAMERZ MAN whinge about the same shit as now.
              https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/what-is-happening-with-recent-aaa-games.2866464/

              “Can it run Crysis” stuck around because Crysis was built for hardware that didn’t even exist yet, but was scalable enough to be played on then-current gen. It wasn’t because poor performance was rare.

              Go to literally any major release’s Steam review page and you’ll see review after review shitting on the performance. Almost like there’s no way to fix shit you don’t know is broken.

                Again my literal point was typically poor performance is to the mid range and low range rigs. This is a literal new release that as the fucking title of the fucking post says is

                “Cities Skylines 2 reportedly runs with 7-12fps on an Intel Core i9 13900KS with AMD Radeon RX 7900XTX at 4K/High Settings”

                7-12 FPS on top of the line gear is fucking stupid. Even Jedi Survivor wasn’t this bad and that was also a game that had “poor” performance for top tier gear.

                    My fucking point was if it truly was as “CPU bound” as you say. Lowering the resolution and graphics will have very minimal impact when most of it trouble is coming from calculating the sim as you claim. There are no settings to significantly decrease the amount of “CPU” work. So I feel you are talking out of your ass for a game you are stanning for that hasn’t fucking released and you haven’t fucking played yet. Fanboism is a cancer.

                    Edit: also can you stop spreading the conversation into multiple pointless threads, like Jesus Christ.

        Because Crysis for its time was breaking barriers in terms of graphics and physics. City skylines 2 doesn’t even look that good (graphically). So it just comes down to poor optimization that will get fixed after half a year to a full year of patching. This isn’t a great look even though they said “But we said it will perform poorly”.

          “PURR URPTURMIZURTION”

          Or… here’s a fucking idea… it’s a CPU bound game and not GPU bound. FUCKING WOW, WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT that the simulation game may not be graphically amazing but will wreck the shit out of any CPU with its simulation routines?

          Only everyone that’s ever played any sort of in-depth simulation, that’s who.

            You would have a point if you couldn’t increase your FPS by 20 fps by disable clouds, volumetric fog, lower LOD to the bottom. Also wouldn’t the FPS get better with increasing the resolution since you are putting more work on the GPU instead of the CPU?

            You don’t even have the game and you are shilling for it super hard for some weird ass reason.
