Well for me it is a big disappointment so far.
So I installed the game on my other new pc and tried it. I got decent results in benchmark and tried to go in multiplayer after setting up the hotkeys and settings. When I opened the lobby I could never see more than 2-3 games open. Weird isn't it? I would expect tons of players to be there. When I tried to join some of those games I got an error and never actually got into any game. After several tries I gave up and tried matchmaking.
After few minutes I finally got some game going. The game was stuttering and freezing every few moments, villagers stopped working and started idling from time to time without any reason. Half of the hotkeys were just not working properly even though I set it up. For example go back to work hk always made my vills idle or go somewhere else instead of going back to work. I had a really hard time to even recognize any units in the game at all, everything looks so weird. To be honest I have a worse first feeling than I had on HD for the first time.
