Why did cs2 fail so badly?

#1

ajwinner

The game has mixed reviews on steam, compared to overwhelming positive for csgo. The player numbers are actually down compared to csgo, and the community sentiment is generally disappointment. Why did Valve fail?

You can call its valorant 2.0, they copied anomation, gun, buy menu and you can refund, crosshair, and 12 rounds

Buy menu was from Danger Zone.
MR12 was around before VALORANT had even started DEVELOPMENT (CS 1.5/1.6 iirc). They switched to MR15 for 1.6 and haven't changed until now.

So they haven't copied anything from VALORANT, VALORANT copied from CS.

they took inspiration from older versions of cs, not copied

imagine saying that when Valorant is literally Riot's CS. Valorant as how it is wouldn't even exist if some Riot exec didn't say "let's make our csgo".

Compare that to three weeks after CSGO's launch. You cannot compare a game released 11 years ago to a game which was released not even a month ago.

This argument is bad. Don't release the game if it's not ready, why does valve get a pass for this when any other dev would get shit on relentlessly.

It's replacing CS:GO, it should be of a similar quality.

CSGO was fucking dogshit when it released. Hell, even Karrigan thought it was shit.
Yet the same sentiment he shared about CSGO then is what pros share now about CS2: not a big fan, but want to give it a try.
CSGO at launch was WAY worse than CS2 at launch.

Yes, the CSGO launch was embarrassing, the CS2 launch is also embarrassing. I don't get what this proves, sure it'll probably be better in a year. Why release it and have it completely replace CSGO now then? Make this an open beta and wait until it's actually ready for launch. They were adding maps like 2 weeks before launch, that is fucking insane lmao. It's not ready.

you have a point here, just because a game's previous launch was bad doesn't mean the next game needs a bad launch too. As much as I love playing CS2, I would rather take a delay at this point with all the bugs and issues the game is having.

It’s just in a bad state, 64 tick servers, the hit boxes were fucked up, the sprays are bad compared to csgo, it just feels like a upgraded graphic version of CSGO, but a downgraded verision of CSGO gameplay wise, they’ll fix it eventually but who knows how long it will take.

It's dogshit and unfinished. It obviously should've been delayed but valve is stupid and wants to please the masses short term. So they pushed out a broken game and now we're here.

The spray patterns are beyond fucked up, even source was better.

Also it straight up replaced GO so I can't even play that. We're stuck with servers shittier than apex legends

Why does cs2 have “mixed” reviews on steam when cs go was “overwhelmingly positive”?

The release was definitely rushed.
Game is playable but not polished.

Pros aren't always right though..

So many old school 1.6 players hated GO.
