Why anyone would buy a Paradox game during the 1st year of release is beyond me. This happens literally every time they put out a game. Give it a year or two and it'll be the best city builder out there.

I don't disagree, but this is blaming the victim too.
They marketed and sold a complete game knowing the state of it. I didn't even know they released incomplete games.
Don't forget to pre-order CS3 when it's announced so we can do this all over again.
Sure, I wish things were different. But, CS1 took years to become what it is. They started again from the ground up, it's going to take a while to get there. I'm giving it some time.
Cs1 was good on release
As a big fan of cities Skylines 1 (>400h), I only decided to get the sequel after I saw creators play it and there was a promotional sale.
The performance issues are bad and I get 40fps at 1080p medium on my system, with a 40k city. But the game really is better than vanilla C:S 1 in a bunch of ways. In particular, the way lanes are handled and the size of the map is better.
It takes time to make something great. I bounce between both games at this point, and just play other games. I now have 28h in the sequel so I say I got my money's ($36 due to the sale) worth. I'm patient. There are so many games and mods for other games on my backlog, I can just play those until Cities Skylines II has fixed its major issues.
Yup, I'm happy to wait until C:S2 is ready. I have it on my wishlist, so whenever there's a sale, I'll check out the current state and decide if it's time to buy.
Until then, I have plenty of other games to play.
