This is unfortunate... after SimCity just crapping the bed, City Skylines pretty well was able to step in and take over the genre. This should be an easy release for them. Like others have said, they just needed to release a game that worked and then sell DLCs over the next few years. I think people were really looked forward to this and they just didn't deliver. I'm sure it will be fine but it just sucks that we thought we were saved from SimCity's disaster just to be hit with some disappointment.

Some people have said turning level of detail off helps a ton, and dynamic resolution off makes it stop looking like garbage.

After playing around for a bit, I'm not sure I like their development tree system. Seems like just a finicking and annoying way to upgrade things. seems like you're just going to end up with everything eventually as you play long enough.
I would have much preferred it if it was a true tree, where you use it to shape and customise your city into a certain style.
and I know city builders in general are primarily sandbox games, but I would have loved to see more guided / challenge option. My favourite city builder atm is Against the Storm, which is more focused on that, though probably more of a supply chain builder than a city builder

Wind farms should have a flock of birds periodically fly down and the exit out the other side as red mist. And solar farms should take up 10x the space of any other structure in the game and be as much of an eyesore as possible (which should be easy to accomplish in the game's current state). Add in frequent brownouts in the city if you choose to use "alternative" energy and you've got your peak realism.
My shadows are even worse than this. Granted, I haven't messed around with settings too much yet, but the shadows are horrible. There should be an epilepsy warning. I'm getting around 45 fps on an empty map, so better than I expected. The game is definitely in need of some work before it's fully playable though.

The problem is that 45 fps with those shadows gets infinitely worse as the population starts ramping up.
Still pissy with how this launched, but the Alan Wake reviews are easing my annoyance a bit.

Disappointing launch for sure. Really hope they're able to knock out some high benefit patches quickly.
