after seeing gameplay and reading many tweets from people including totalbiscuit saying the game is good (tb said he's mostly holding off on a wtf is for the time being because a) he didn't want to release two in one day, b) he thinks he's too 'gunshy' after simcity) i have purchased cities: skylines on day one
hopefully i won't regret this i'm pretty sure i won't. currently reviews are "overwhelmingly positive" and the negative reviews seem to be mostly personal and technical issues
