Polishing
This may sound like crabbing. But I don't feel any games released finished or even 90% finished anymore.
More like 75%, being a old school sim racer and gamer i find that to be really frustrating.
This is the way of the world now I guess in all games. (products to and i hate that)
If I came home with a loaf of bread and gallon of milk and gave it to my wife, she takes half a loaf out of bag to put it away, then pulls out the milk and see's half full... well, lets just say, my sorry ass is going to get sent back to the store to remedy the situation.
Dedicated Server
Really bothers me when race games are not released with a proper multiplayer client.
One that is user friendly and super easy to use.. example rf1 and gtr evo, rings and bells and all the features I need to set up my online races with little hassle and no messing with code and files.
Bothers me that both Pcars and AC neither have anything like this, I feel as a developer it should be a priority to make a solid easy to use multiplayer client. Especially if you want good league play.
I play pretty much all the games that come out. Sim or not sim. I can have fun playing arcade games even though I consider myself more a of a hardcore sim racer. Most of my sim racing done in some form of papyrus games or mods. (been pc racing since around 2000)
I have all the gtr titles, simbin games, even bought a ps3 to try out all the race games on there.
Played shift one and two.
Forum Issues
(going Andy Rooney mode here...)
And why is it xbox and ps has there own forum section that is labeled appropriately with full section dividers. But pc section of there forums mashed in with generic forum area about the game.
So every bubble gum snot nose kid with a controller is interjecting on your retorts or comments or questions about your experience on a PC with a wheel. It feels like going back to 8th grade or freshman year in high school days. No rightful sim racer should have to put up with that when trying to have a serious conversation.
Also as a old man, I don't need some over zealous ninny forum mod changing what my forum topic name should be. I would be afraid to start a thread on their forums because god forbid a mod would think my forum title should read something different and censor or edit '''MY''' thoughts.
I've seen quiet a few things like that where even Ian was involved changing thread names... umm .. first you want to change my thoughts, whats next you want to race my pixel car as well. Hell I just throw money at you and you can be me and you at the same time, that would save us both alot of time, Am i right? (tongue and cheek yes, but come onnnnn already)
Summing it up
Come on guys. Way to much micro managing. Let people be people and create their own thoughts.
I was a huge supporter from early on. So far I can say Pcars, fun game. (i can't say anymore then that right now.) Give me a few more weeks or a month to see if we can get a few patches and up to say 78% finished.
