idk what to call this other than crazed ramblings ig?

1. traffic ai is worse than the average new york driver (and you made it worse somehow)
2. its a city builder not a sightseeing simulator with added building functionality, remove the close in camera zoom, highly detailed cims (why did you even add this?) and all of the post processing bs
3. just because there is a gpu with 24gb of vram does not mean you need to cater to it, the games industry for decades worked with the lowest common denominator.
4. add the steam workshop, no one wants to use an inferior product, its like we see this all the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ time and it never works propperly because steam has the infrastructure, you do not paradox supports like what? 2 games with that mod thing
5. most features CS1 implimented through updates and dlc's are either missing or extremely cut down.

i wanna say that allthough my hatred seems dirrected at colossal order i harbor mostly no ill will against them pretty much all of my hatred is dirrected at Paradox the publisher, remember this guys a publisher sets the deadline, they make the investments and do the advertising and they will often want a return on that investment as soon as possible, they will force a dev to release the game before it is ready or miss represent it.


i hope the game will one day become a true successor to CS1 but until then i will stay with CS1 i cant force myself to play this anymore

this game was talked about as if it was a sucessor to jalopy, it ain't take it from me this game is not even worth it if it was 90% off (wich it will be innevitably as excalibur wants to sell copies) its not hing like jalopy, the driving is boring you cant leave your car you cant look around repairs are basic the menu for the car repair is probably the only part i liked, it looks nice but it does not redeem the game, i have played it for minutes and i allready want a refund, you cant upgrade your car unlike a way superior game called jallopy a game where you can look around leave your car find stuff on the road you get nice history about the republics and in all honestly it looks and feel alsot better, if i would call this anything it would be a jalopy clone but without any of the fun parts and water downed, buy jalopy its cheaper (atleast here in norway) and wastly superior.

as Shigeru Miyamoto once said "A delayed game is eventually good. A bad game is bad forever." lets hope they actually follow this if they ever make another game wich at this point looking at the reviews seems like a slim chance but then again EA is still churning out horrible games so who knows.

*EDIT*
as its been a few years now i'd like to come back and comment on a few things well i hoped there would be more new things but as it seems there aint much.
1. the first major update.
the major game overhaul was a welcomed change it adressed a few of the issues but did not really actually overhaul the game, most changes were made on the surface level, you can now look around and that's about it, it's like the devs saw the massive backlash only red the few first sentences of the reviews and decided that all the game needed was the ability to look slightly more left and right while driving that's about it. if this game was to ever suceed it would have had to have been with another developer who didn't shoot one of their best devs in the chest and lock him out of his own game letting bugs be rampant and then shifting that blame onto him (see the state of jalopy these days) and then just to spite them advertise a game wich if looked at as its own game and not a jalopy like or jalopy sequel would've been fun, the worst transgression here is the publisher, and i implore you if you need a publisher for your indie game look somewhere else this publisher is content with falsly advertising games and leaving the devs with the fallout of it.
2. the Chapter 2 Update.
if im going to be completely honest i couldnt bring myself to get that far, the game and the way it was advertised left a bad taste in my mouth. i try not to ♥♥♥♥ on the devs more than i have and especially because its not really their fault its the publishers as previosuly stated. but i just couldnt bring myself to play more of this game. i dont have any opinions on this expansion because of this but i would like to add that after that update there has been nothing nada silch, the devs most likely abandoned the game after the backlash and seeing that nothing they could do would solve anything.

TLDR: an absolute wanker of a publishing company sets expectation for a game that's nothing like jalopy way too high after shooting the jalopy dev in the foot and leaves devs with fallout.

*EDIT2*

if the devs see this updated review, i am extremely sorry this happened to you, i do think that the ♥♥♥♥ storm preciding the game was more directed at you than the actual transgressor Excalibur and for that i would like to apologize i too was whipped up by the frenzy post release and do hope you at some point return to the game dev community, maybe under some better publishing company like lazybear or yogscast like the former jalopy dev did with his newest game.
