Yesterday for the first time in a very long time I tried the online component on the PlayStation 5 version of ACC.
I did so after a number of frustrating online races in GT7 , In GT I had no issues getting into a lobby and finding fully populated races where as in ACC I had to rummage amongst the servers for ages to find a race which consisted of more than 2 drivers.
The end result being while gt7 has a massive player base (ACC seems to be almost Dead online) the race in GT 7 was an appalling mess, littered with imbeciles who did nothing more than scupper everyone's race by refusing to brake in the corners and deliberately smashing into them, it didn't matter which server I went into in gt7 it was always the same idiotic result.
In contrast in ACC once I managed to find a race with other people to actually race against it was a world apart ,decent people who played the game in the way it was intended for ,who knew how to race and were both respectful but hard opponents to race against and it was an absolute blast.
There was none of the horrible lagging of cars that GT 7 shows, ACC was Buttery smooth with no janky or horrible glitching that seems to be evident in every race in gt7.
It seems such a shame that this game has been allowed to stagnate / suffocate to the point where its now almost impossible to find people to race against and yet the other game which is a travesty of an online racing game thrives, even with the alleged new updates we are to receive from the developers I'm saddened that this is probably far too little too late to save what clearly could have been a very good online racing community had it had the chance to grow.
Such a waste.
