Just looking to gather opinions and thoughts from this community that were thinking of trying C:S II now that the game is out publicly.

Did you like it? Did you return it? Are you waiting until reports say it's better? Does it meet your bar of playable on your system as it is right now? Are there improvements over the original you were happy to see? Are there parts you miss? Are there still things you wish for?

For almost $100 bucks at release (over $100 for any deluxe version), I personally expect finished products without excuses. The odd bug is of course not an issue, but I'm not a beta tester at that price. At $20 or $30? Meh. $89 and up? No dice.

I'll remain on the sidelines until the issues are resolved and see if it grows into a quality replacement for the first one. Hopefully on sale someday. That's for sure my stance. These game releases are getting less and less exciting, because we are seeing more and more issues at release. I'm not ready to admit it's excusable.

I won't disagree with your stance, but I have just one question...

In which currency are you getting $100 for the basegame? Canada it's $70 (rounding up), but pre-release it was C$60, USD it's $50, in NZD it's $80. The deluxe version isn't worth it at all, you basically get the Golden Gate Bridge and the promise of a few assets and a DLC over the next year... for double the price.

I stand corrected, it does look like it's $68 CAD on Steam. I could have sworn it was $89 at some point, but obviously am wrong on that.

It's OK, your screen must have been upside down when you were looking at the Steam page... :)
