I'm more amazed everyday as to why GP2 sucks like it does, I just
learned from a valuable resource that Geoff Crammond's so-called design
team didnt even create a modem link for GP2, instead his LAZY-ASS just
added an old link from a previous game!!! To BAD we couldnt pay HALF
price for a HALF-ASS game. Geoff, I hope you had fun with our money on
vacation you incompetent ***!!!!! I hope the nocdrom zip stops your
Money flow!!!Why in the hell would you create such a great feeling and
graphical sim only too SCAR it by not finishing the DAMN THING?!!!
Why would you take such shortcuts!!! Michealangelo never mixed his
bowel movements with his paint pigments!! Why would you?!! You ***ing
IDIOT!!         - DG

BTW.......nice page!         -David Gary

  And you wonder why the Papyrus guys dont hang around here much
anymore.  I'm not saying you have to kiss Geoff or anyone elses ass
but ferchristsakes grow up or no ones gonna take you seriously.

Do you ever watch commercials? They always promise more as the product
provide. You bought a product basicly on an advert? O boy.

Greetings, Remco

It's easy to criticize... it's hard to find good in something.  Anyone
can complain...

I don't run GP2, but I am sure that your frustration is well founded.
Rather than expressing your personal frustration at the GP2 developers, why
not post of list of the unfinished pieces and suggestions as to what should
be done.  This should include a list of outstanding problems as well.  Try
also sending the list fo Microprose via e-mail and/or snail-mail.  If they
are not responsive to your requests and those of other sim racers (I am
sure others will join you in this), then let's stop buying their products.

Papyrus has been open to suggestions - so far.  Some of the features
requested appear to making it into NASCAR Racing 2.  I have sent them many
lists of features, changes etc.  I have gotten responses to each.  Next
step will be to see if they include them, and if not, I will continue to
request them.  However, I will not swear at them - since they will never
listen if I do.

If you really feel this product (GP2) is not worth the money, request a
refund.  This is another option that is open to you.  If they refuse,  take
them to court.

Good luck.  /THansen

Crap?  ***would be touting a racing simulator and getting an arcade
game instead.   Is this all because you're mad that Geoff Crammond
used a routine (modem) from another program?  I hate to be the one to
enlighten you, but programmers do that ALL THE TIME.  That's
considered NORMAL, ROUTINE, etc, etc, etc.  Of course, I'm sure *YOU*
never used something that you had done earlier... I'm sure *YOU*
re-invented the wheel everytime... :)

Be thankful; a lot of games out there today are basically rewritten
themes from an old program.  GP2 is a LOT better than GP1 was,
although it has a very familiar ring to it.

Remember, Rome wasn't built in a day.  You must not have been using
computers very long.  You should try and run Indy500, which when it
came out, was VERY state of the art!  if you don't think so, load up
Grand Prix Circuit by Accolade.  (and *that* was hot stuff at one time
too!)

One step at a time, racing sims are getting better and better.  Just
like anything else, it takes a little time, patience and hard work,
not some loud mouthed punk spouting off and showing their ignorance,
stupidity and immaturity.  ;> (you wouldn't want people to think of
*YOU* that way, would you?)

Thankfully for every snivelling ungrateful sod out there who thinks
that the world was created solely to satisfy their wants, there are at
least 10 who thank Geoff Crammond, Papyrus etc for producing great
sims that none of us would be able to enjoy without all their hard
work.

Those of us who have been following Geoff's work since Revs can
recognise GP2 as being the latest in the line of great sims that he
has produced. It may not be perfect, but the important parts work, and
work well.

BTW: get the date fixed on your PC's clock and also reduce that max
line width.

Have a good holiday Geoff. Some of us out here appreciate your years of
work and the ***you have had to put up with.

i see, here we have a real racer, a sportsman. what a load of decency !
its amazing how creative and eloquent he is, i even had to search the
dictionary for an adequate term.

i finally found a newsgroup about gp2 and the first thing i see is ***
like this post. i cant help reposting, because i appreciate the work of
geoff crammond very mucho. i have a lot of fun with gp2, as i had a lot
of fun with world circuit and stuntcar racer and here is big david gary
posting bullshit like this. i dont believe it. this is definitively not
my day.

wow, what a jerk.
