I tried it again recently and starts out tolerable but gets worse the bigger your city gets, even when you lower settings. It would be one thing if the game looked amazing and had these deep, detailed simulations… but it just looks okay and the digital corner-cutting trickery becomes obvious when you start looking closely. I feel like there is something fundamentally wrong under the hood of Skylines 2.
So what you’re saying is that Tekken being a fighting game just magically made a “bad engine” run well?
Fortnite, Wukong, Tekken 8, Layers of Fear, Firmament, Everspace 2, Dark and Darker, Abiotic Factor, STALKER 2, Jusant, Frostpunk 2, Satisfactory, Expedition 33, Inzoi, Immortals of Aveum, Starship Troopers: Extermination, Ninja Gaiden 2 Black, Lords of the Fallen, Robocop, Myst (UE5 remake), Riven (UE5 remake), Palworld, Remanant 2, Hellblade 2, Subnautica 2… and the list keeps growing.
When a big studio skips QA and releases a broken game, it’s not the engine’s fault, it’s the studios fault. As long as consumers tolerate broken games that can maybe be fixed later (if we’re lucky) then companies will keep releasing broken, unfinished, unpolished, untested games. Blaming UE5 is like blaming an author’s word processor for a poorly written novel.
Can we please stop blaming UE5 for sloppy development and poor QA?
Lock. Him. Up.
That game is called Arena. It was the first Elder Scrolls game.
Juan Merchan was obliged to do so by the law, the Constitution, and good-old ethics. But he kissed the ring, instead.
Prison. Now. For him and all his corrupt, openly criminal Constitution-shredding cronies. We are far past the point of hand-waving over the open criminality and corruption. And in Trump’s case, legitimate Constitutionally-defined treason. Mass arrests and convictions of these criminals needs to happen now. Right now. Even if we the people need to take care of it ourselves. Nobody is coming to save us.
The democrats were never left.
Rivian is great, but really pricey and requires charging. Aptera is solar powered (or at least charges up to 50 miles/day on solar power alone). That’s what makes it exciting.
This is why we have anti-trust laws. Because we are supposed to break up trusts long before get anywhere near becoming a monopoly. The time to break up Google/Alphabet and every company like them was well over a decade ago.

I approve of all these except GIMP.
GIMP is just terrible.
Aptera can’t start shipping soon enough. Especially in sunny places like California. Drink Tesla’s milkshake. Drink it all up.

Death of affordable anything.
And also freedom, democracy, privacy, etc.
For a company like Apple, that’s “cost of doing business” rather than a genuine deterrent.
So it’s because the developers paid attention to optimization and polish to ensure the game ran well on the largest number of devices.
My point exactly. It’s not the engine, it’s what you do with it and how you do it.
