Eh, I wouldn't disparage the parent commentor for giving the release-day version an earnest try. Some people will be okay with the game in the state it's in right now, some won't, and that's fine.
I think they also would agree they expect it to get better with another 6 months of active development, especially preparing for console release.
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... :)
Lol I better check
