Ian, I personally think this, is one of two kinds of people.
Either, fan boys of other games just being salty, or shills paid to make competition's product look bad..
As you said though, they didn't have time to even try it out. I hope others where able to see past those "reviews" and tried it out for themselves.
I haven't had the opportunity to purchase the game yet, I'm waiting to either buy a ps4 pro, or Xbox one s, so I can enjoy the game at its fullest.
I have seen past the whining reviews and what not. The videos speak for themselves, the improvement the devs have worked on, show feedback has been considered. I've personally been sold. I just need a platform to play it on first. Lol.
You think the only people talking down on this game are fanboys, or payed shills? Really???
Do you know where I apply at PD to be a payed shill for them? Is Turn 10's trash talking department hiring this week? If anyone in the room is a fanboy, at this point, it's you
I didn't downvotw the demo, I didn't download the demo, because I can't be 🤬 to download a demo for a game I've already payed full price for.
I payed full price for PC1, and I bought every single DLC for PC1 because I wanted to support SMS, because I believed in what PCARS was trying to be. I forked over well over $100 to SMS, and swallowed all the bugs that came with PC1. I forgave the bugs, thinking, "small company, ambitious project, first time...they'll get it right with PC2."
So PC2 comes along, broken as 🤬. I payed full retail price for it, and when I went on to SMS's website to let them know their game(which was supposed to be miles ahead of the competition, the best thing since sliced bread according to SMS officials)needed fixing, I was promptly banned by an extremely proud SMS mod who couldn't deal with me telling him/her that they were full of crap for saying the AI was phenomenal. Before being banned, I also saw people making tbreads about the very broken, very well documented, Formula C cars, only to be told by SMS mods, "you're just not pushing the car hard enough."
I come onto this website, and see Ian and American talking about how great their game is. I see Ian going off to other players about how when he track days his Porsche/Ferrari/Lamborghini/Audi/flavour-of-the-month, he feels this, feels that, blah blah blah....but he, nore anyone else, can answer simple questions like, "have you ever participated in a full, player organized, online championship?" "How many hours online do you have?"
My experience with SMS over the last 2-3 months has been one of the most frustrating and disappointing customer experiences I've ever had, definitely the worst I've experience in the realm of video games. I will never pay full retail price for an SMS product again. I mean, I payed $95 for an incomplete PC2, and it's on sale for $25 now. Man do I ever feel like a sucker. You got me Ian....but you know how the old saying in Tennessee goes, "fool me once..."
