@Agramonte You can have actually have arcade and sim. All of them have some arcade element - very rare can 100% realism be produced
I think the problem is that there is this whole Arcade v Sim division in terms of gamers. There is no need. PC3 would be fine if the cars could be tuned fully, Le Mans and Spa (both versions of both) were available and the weather controls from the PC2 version were available
They've blatantly decided to give something for the short attention span crowd
@SakuraHaruka Spot on. We're now limited to Gran Turismo Sport (and that's by no means perfect) to have some kind of SIM racing or Assetto Corsa which has less functionality in terms of cars and tracks
I can see some buying this, but then abandoning soon after (that's the problem with the easily bored). This means that there could be less buying the more profitable add ons
@Cycologist Well there's your problem. I drove less than one race when I first drove PC and nearly gave up
Why do people think that games must be immediately 'playable' / or entertaining? After all they are not books - they are designed to be played for a year or more. Surely giving up after a few hours is bonkers?
I don't know where you're coming from. The handling on the previous additions was fantastic, that PC2 is actually my most favourite game at all time
This latest, er, 'version', has cars sliding all over the place. Yes, they are far more forgiving and maybe that's what you like. However, they are totally unrealistic unless it's a race where sliding like crazy is the norm, i.e. very few track or road events
It's disappointing, that because some didn't have the patience to master PC2, they've caved in and made this mess (easily the worst game I've ever played)
Using this new way of thinking all restaurants that take longer than 20 minutes to make their dishes are going to become like McDonalds - after all the world clearly has no brain power to actually wait for something and savour it when it comes
