@Vaako007 Surely the game being good, which it certainly seems to be, matters more than any petty political grievances you might have. Live and let live.

@JayJ Metacritic is undoubtedly flawed but there are usually just as many reviews giving unwarranted 0's as well. So it does balance out. And there are absolutely loads of troll reviews on steam as well so there is no infallible system. All that matters to me is I'm having more fun than ever with a racing game. So, to me, this update can't come soon enough.

@InterceptorAlpha I respect your opinion but I really do like the mechanic. If they wanted to make a F2P game, they would. It's fine to dislike it but there is no way this mechanic will leave the game as it is integral to the way this game is made. I find the Asphalt system to be much less developed.
I'm not saying that you need to love this game and I understand a lot of people don't. But patches aren't going to remove a system that this game was essentially built around. And one that some people are indeed having fun with. (Also, it's sat at 7.9 on user score metacritic so really isn't hated as much as you seemed to suggest.

@InterceptorAlpha I don't see that as a f2p gimmick. If they levelled up a little quicker, it would be genuinely great.
Like, driving the car, learning it's foibles and whatnot, is a great way to get good and learn how to not rear end everyone when racing online.

On topic, the replays working would be an amazing fix 😂

Way I see it, the best RPG they've made is Morrowind. But the best game is a bit harder. Skyrim is probably just ahead of Starfield to me
Note, weird that Fallout 76 is counted but ESO isn't, considering they're both MMO's?
No real duds in the group though is a credit to their catalogue.

Have put 35 hours in since this was released (on pc) and agree with this. The game is incredibly fun and very addictive but it is a flawed experience. The game is pretty unbalanced but as a fan who has been waiting for a proper f1 manager for almost 20 years, this is still an excellent experience.

Looks incredible. Happy it's gonna be on gamepass and yeah, would probably have bought it anyway. lets hope it is as polished as it looks

My hatred for 'leakers' and speculators grows more unreasonable by the day. I have an unexplainable disdain for Jeff Grubb and the hurricane of hype and disappointment that is generated by it all.

Played an hour on EA Play. Thought the story was shockingly good but the gameplay was bland. Paled in comparison to Grid Autosport, Forza, F1 and, very soon, likely Gran Turismo. I like that they are trying to be more cinematic with video game stories but I just found the racing to be so bland.

I mean. I have hopes for this but when they said one planet would be as big as Skyrim I died a little inside.
Probably still be a great crack though.

It's nice to know I can test out the limits of my new PC by playing Race With Ryan. Good stuff.

2012 is an excellent olympics game. 2008 was okay. 2020 is fine but much shallower in terms of the overall experience.

@Vinsanity I think Microsoft did superbly but Nintendo targeted their core audience well; bringing games that core Nintendo gamers will be happy with. I like the Advance Wars artstyle a lot and bringing back a lot of dormant franchises helps build the Nintendo hype train.
Don't get me wrong, Xbox was excellent in its own way but without these two big companies, who could realistically just do their own independent shows, E3 would have been a bore fest.

I've never owned an xbox. Now I want one. I think that is mission accomplished, right?
