Yeah, they're boring and I don't want to play them.TransatlanticFoe wrote:The problem I have with typical racing sims these days is that they focus on licences, challenges etc. but you don't get any real racing. You usually have cars on track with massive performance differentials so either end up with linear races or horrendous rubber-banding to even it out. Not a single proper championship mode with practice, qualifying and more than 10 rounds to be seen. Unless you're playing a licenced game with physics balanced between arcade and simulation (not satisfying fans of either), and no proper damage - thanks but no thanks Codemasters.Skykid wrote:I'm too much of a strict arcade gamer, so that makes quite a few genres unappealing. I really don't get racing sims like Gran Turismo. Tarting around for hours tuning cars and getting licenses is so dull, I just want to Ridge Race and powerslide.
That's not what this thread is about though. I'm meant to be asking someone to tell me all the great stuff I'm missing so I can be converted. There's already a success story in this thread: pestro87 has managed to turn someone into a lifelong beat-em-up fanatic with just one sentence. I'm impressed. Life has value.
