I feel like there’s a significantly higher number of bad takes on the negative side. Obviously the launch state of the game isn’t perfect or even good, but there’s people out there claiming all manner of shit. I’ve seen people downplaying it for sure, but the instances I’ve seen of that fit more of the:
“Yea, not great and I only get XYZ fps, but I’m still having fun and I get to use the new tools so I don’t mind.”
The people with negative things to say however… well I’m pretty sure about half the accounts posting that are either waffling back and forth (positive and negative) every comment, or are trying their best to spin the narrative that Paradox did this intentionally, for some reason. I don’t think they realise that a bad launch doesn’t help them make money in any way. It literally does not benefit them.
The only reason it was launched as it is, is because Paradox made the gamble that enough people would be able to play and have fun. Those people would then be able to make videos or take photos of the new features and capabilities, which at least verifies for the people that can’t play, that the features are there. They aren’t just waiting for a less ugly CS1, there’s actual tangible improvements.
I think it’s also worth mentioning that even today… CS1 runs like actual ass. I have a 3800x and a 3070, both overclocked, with 32gb of RAM. I still get shit FPS in it. I think at best, I get 80fps (excluding the 0-2000 pop phase) when theres <30k pop, and it goes down the higher that is.
Thank you for coming to my TEDTalk, I ain’t no shill and the game still runs chunky. Hopefully most of these performance issues get dealt either sooner rather than later.
