This was why I favoured console gaming over PC. Having a standardised hardware always meant you don’t have the heart ache of a game not performing well. With the introduction of the Steam Deck hopefully that will become the new baseline for future games.
Comment on Cities Skylines II is an absolutely beautiful game

I’ll wait until they hammer out the graphics and performance issues. The original ran great on mediocre hardware, but this one won’t get above 15fps on the Deck right now.

Somebody didn’t play Cyberpunk on a console at launch…

Ah yes, we all know performance problems on consoles are unheard of. And CS2 runs really badly even on some of the most popular and powerful hardware, so that argument makes no sense here.

Thank you for paying money to drag everyone down :)

This is the catch 22 of PC gaming. On the one hand you’ve got people complaining that the latest games that require high end hardware to run, and simultaneously at the other end of the spectrum people are complaining that supporting low end hardware is dragging a game down?!
Hence why targeting a single console generation makes far more sense to me?

The original didn’t run fine on my then low-mid range desktop when it came out. It’s heavily CPU-bound and I specifically upgraded to an i7 4790K at the time because even in a mid-sized city, the simulation would slow to realtime.
It runs alright on today’s mediocre hardware, but that’s amazing hardware by 2014-2015ish standards.

Well, depends on the other factors at play, but I had the original running on a low-end Athlon, and a GeForce 870m with only 2GB vram at the time on an old school HDD and it was stellar.
