I mean no disrespect to the hard working devs who are working on PC2 but after today's update, I feel just more disappointment.
These updates are not doing what they need to.
Restaurants were never going to be the feature of all features to bring the whole experience together, but this is another case of something not hitting the landing. In the last update the western scenery was added but it wasn't Planet Coaster 2's take on the western theme. But if we are to compromise and just get that old scenery from PC1 ported over, it is not necessarily a bad thing. Yet the assets looked lower quality than not just the other PC2 pieces, but how they looked in the first game as well.
Before that update we had the fumbling over the situation where we were presented with more DLC to buy despite all the issues the game has.
The update and care given to flumes was welcome. Absolutely.
But now, with being presented with these very limited and kinda broken/ janky restaurants, Frontier should consider bringing the community in closer with the ongoing development of this game and invite willing fans into a beta branch to give crucial feedback on what is happening, before the trigger is pulled on them. Cos damn, it just feels like we are still seeing the same mistakes happening over and over again.
Can you please consider giving us the means to actually help. Even a stream that showcased these features in depth, where you can collect feedback in time to adjust the development of these features, would go a long way.
It worked for Crusader Kings 3's team, after one disastrous update/DLC after another. Now they know the value of dropping the secrecy and inviting feedback BEFORE something gets rolled out and becomes something else that needs to be fixed.
