I don’t know about y’all… But, I am really looking forward to CS:II

    This was a great feature video, I really liked that they are making utilities more than just something you have to do but potentially something interesting.

      Not to mention the automatic placement of water pipes when you lay down roads. That’ll save a lot of time and allow you to focus on the more engaging aspects of the game more

      I agree. As someone who enjoys playing factory and logistics games- (factorio, satisfactory, creeper world, ftb minecraft, etc…), I fully welcome the additional control over utilities, and the additional challenges and elements of gameplay.

    Its looking really good except for the price. I don’t want to pay full triple A price for a game that’s going to lock key features behind dlc down the road.

      Eh, it’s $50 on Steam. I dropped something like 300 hours into CS1 before any DLC. Even if I got half that out of CS2, I’m fine paying roughly 33¢ an hour for a great experience.

      To give credit to CS, Its been out for 7 years at this point, and they have maintained updates for the core game. In addition, they have not locked any “critical” functionality behind a DLC, but rather, the DLCs just gave the game a different experience.

      As many hours as I have dumped into the original, I’d feel MUCH better paying 60$ for it, as opposed to half of the AAA crap out there, where I might be lucky to get 40 hours of gameplay.

      Wait for a sale if price is an issue. From my perspective CS:2 looks like CS:1 with a bunch of mods and substantial DLC baked right in.

      I don’t mind supporting this company because they show time and time again that they love the game and the community.

      Where I live it’s not “full” price. You can get it for 40€ and most new AAA releases are 60-80 €

      Yes I realize 80€ is insane but I’ve seen games for that price

      The Deluxe Edition doesn’t add much value for me but as Cities:Skylines was amazingly fun, CitiesSkylines 2 is worth every penny to me.

    Oh, my poor, poor wallet. I loved C:S and this just looks better in every way. Well, except Linux support, but hopefully Steam Play will be able to mitigate that.
