I paid $23 for AC, best bargain in the history of video games IMO
. That aside, as a developer, you can't just drop everything and work on one thing or the other.
@Ialyrn outlays the other things that were worked on for this release and that's how it has to be in business. They have to move forward and continue to generate revenue and add content through DLC in order to fund the ongoing game development and bug fixing. It takes time and we can see they are trying to make progress and Kunos has acknowledged various issues and shortfalls and I expect them to work them out in time.
You and I, but that's not the point, there are people paying more, and those still face the same problems.
You do realize that Kunos are adding more than just the ring and a few cars with the version 1.1 patch? Which includes a new "flag" and "rules" system. Improvements to the A.I, graphics, sound, damage, and views. As well as overcast weather conditions and fog settings.
Kunos are still working hard on the main aspects of Assetto Corsa, and are bringing us newer features and improvements all the time. So what if the game has a few issues here and there, every game made in the last 10 years has issues, and patches to improve and fix games has been going on far longer than that. They used to be included on a floppy disk with certain gaming magazines way back when.
I have no issues paying for the ring, because the cost involved with laser scanning and making that monster of a track will be more than most of us make in a year. its not like they have only laser scanned a small track like Cadwell park in Lincolnshire.
Things like flags, that should be on the game when they release the final version, after release we are on v1.05, IMO they should have delayed the V1, the FMOD is a mess, i think we have better sounds before, if the sound engineers where working in new cars, they cant fix what is broken, do you understand my POV?
Don't get me wrong, i just don't want this to became another GT, where simple things take to much time to get solved, and before fixing things they give you cars and tracks...
First it's necessary a very strong base, and then start making payed dlc's.
There are a lot of people with big issues, go to official forum and see for your self, i'm also one that suffer from time to time freezes, that led to crash's, but i'm waiting for the update, to install the game again from the scratch.
I'm not complaining, i'm giving my opinion, and so far has i know they are doing very well.
