I dont get why people are mad about this. I'm happy that games are coming out that destroy top setups today because that means they will be beautiful (hopefully that's what they are with max settings) with future hardware.

They're ugly looking now, that's the issue. skylines 2 definitely is an improvement over 1, but it's not an astronomical improvement (like the difference you'd notice with some franchises moving from unreal engine 4 to 5)

The amount of raw performance needed to power this game is what's shocking. It's just a lack of optimisation.

Do you even fucking know what that word "optimization" means, or do you just throw it around because Jim Sterling told you to?
