Re: 30 quid for GP2 1/2, that'll teach me for not testing with Warez versions

Agree totally. That Ubisoft Monaco Grand Prix thing was worthy of more development. That had weather etc. It just goes to show how far ahead GPL is still, and makes you wonder if any of the game companies really see a market for a better motor racing sim? I have wasted money on GP3.

Now I dont mean to start a Warez Good/Warez bad trail (honest) I held from getting the Warez copy because I loved GP2 so much I just couldn.t see it going wrong I Warez tested GP2 and went on to buy it, I did not want to waste download time and phone money when I thought it would be a cert to buy This is not worth thirty notes Its GP2 with the ability to use my Windows based wheel not bad but I wish I had waited a bit and got it on the first price cut then I'd be happy, but full price for this just leaves me feeling a tiny bit cheated, though its my own fault with going with my intuition that it would be a certain winner The more I play the more frustrated I get not because its crap - cause its not just at the thought of what it could or should have been

I think that's what most people are pissed off about...including me. The fact that the preview articles and reviews and stuff were saying how fantastic this was....we were taking the word of people who had actually played it. Also the fact that graphics and physics engines in other games have come so far since GP2 was released, that I thought for sure this would be something much better than what it actually is. What it comes down to is that our (ie the people who are complaining about this game) standards are much much higher than the people who a few months ago were saying how revolutionary this game is. We know what we're talking about and we know what we want......and they don't. They are stuck in the past.

Yep, 1998 was the best year for sim. MGPRS2 and GPL are still the best sim. Don't buy GP3 (for all people who don't buy it yet) Steve <[email hidden]> a �crit dans le message : 8lvgos$qj0$[email hidden]...
