So I purchased CiM2 on release day and like quite a few other people was a little disappointed at the bugs the initial release had. I ended up putting the game down and not touching it until now as I didn't want to ruin my experience of the original CiM.
Now, 6 months and numerous patches later, I thought I'd give it another go, thinking that surely the bugs would have been fixed, however I have to say that I am still massively disappointed with the game and the bugs that still remain....
First off I'm finding it pretty much impossible to make any money. Even when checking the map when I first start to see where the Blue Collar workers live and work, and then building a line between those 2 locations, I find that no one uses my service, my buses just go round and round, maybe carrying one passenger at a time. My ticket prices are white so that not the issue, and my routes are reasonably short, so service level is not the issue. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do to make a profitable line
Secondly, I have just been given a task to build a line between Detached House and Hypermarket.... so off I go building a tram track as its quite a long route to get across the 2 bridges, building stops in the right places including one next to the detached house and one next to the hypermarket. I check both buildings to make sure they are covered by the line, buy some trams and let them do their thing, but the task still says 0% complete, my trams are going round and they are actually quite busy, but the hypermarket has a value of 0 for homes, residents, workplaces and workers. The worst thing is that I can't even take a screenshot and share it on the forum for people to see as pressing 'fn + Print Scr' on my keyboard prints whatever window I have open in the background (Steam, Firefox etc.), and the in game screenshot (F8) doesn't include the building information pop-up windows.
Come on Paradox, I know you guys read these forums and I don't like to post negative things when I know you work so hard and generally listen to our feedback, but this is ridiculous. I just spent another $10 today on the trains and buses add-ons and still don't feel I am able to play the game properly. It really just feels like I've thrown $10 in the bin. It's even more frustrating because I really think this game has so much potential and looks absolutely stunning, but is ruined by these annoying little bugs that keep popping up that still haven't been fixed despite multiple patches from yourselves
