I find it`s always interesting how we experience our beloved sim also in comparsation to other titles. For me it is similar but can be described differently:Works for me with any other SIM.
Most of the time when driving AC, which is what I mostly do, I think to myself, why am I even bothering keeping any of the others on my drives. But then, there is a comment somewhere, an article, an update and I start thinking, I should try that. It is not that other SIM have no value, they do, but my AC, in VR is so good, so complete, so entertaining, that all others are always missing something important to me that AC provides.
Ac is not perfect, so when only driving AC, there is always eventually something that is a little bugging, trying something else for a few minutes cures that in seconds and recharge my passion for AC.
For me, no other SIM does or offer anything that AC does not do and AC does all that any other do in one extraordinary package.
Extra bonus: The extraordinary package improves daily thanks to the relentless efforts and passion of an army of dedicated individual sharing the same passion.
Fun fact: Daily average player count on Steam for AC 8,500, other sim, even when considered a success, less than a 1,000.
I "always" play AC and i always betray it some hours a week with all the other sims around. Every time i come back, but at the same time i am happy to have the "others" because they all offer me some little things which they can do better than AC.
- If i want close door to door front wheel racing i go with Raceroom. Especially since the update, even on dx9 it looks also not bad now. And i like the AI bit more.
- If i want the extra special physics/ffb feeling --> LMU or even rF2 (Porsche 992 Cup is just brilliant) As much i like AC´s physics, it can´t beat the rF2 physics (in my eyes of course).
- If i want nice immersion coupled with visuals and within a bit "exotic" scenario i go with the Brazilian V8 Stockcars in AMS2. I love them, they belong honestly to my top5 cars in whole simracing (even before the awaited game changing update).
- If i want rally i give EA WRC some rounds. Well set upped it´s not that bad also in the ffb deparment. I mean cool AC rallying is envolving. But i prefer a full game with whole rallys/ challanges / career over some single stages with AC.
So i play them all, however AC is with his 4000h+ waaay in front the next one (i mean it´s Raceroom with 700h) and will still be no1 for a long time.
However i made a big mistake last week. There was a big discount on ETS2 (Euro Truck Simulator2) DLC´s so i bought the whole europe and reinstalled the game first time since 2017. I have added the newest/best/modern 30+ mods and started a new game....
And i can say i am really really deep impressed what the game has become and how addictive it is. Gameplay is great the visuals are maybe greater than AC and those career gives you goals.
It was a strange but cool feeling to switch after 2 hours of racing full of stress and adrenalin to a truck which to just cruise around, chill out and enjoy the enviroment.
It´s also strange other way around - After cruising some hours with a truck, it´s partly difficult to immidiatly addept to a race car again
