GP2 for $20 this week at Compusa

Like I said..

Why buy a product that you know has problems, and will not be fixed or upgraded? I'm sorry I bout it for $40 when it came out! -- http://www.netins.net/showcase/mpete/nascar.html Mike's Nascar World Stop on by, what can it hurt?

Mr Bill wrote (about GP2): How can you say that about the greatest racing sim (until GP3) rated by every known computer magazine. What game do you play, Death Rally?!?!? We should ban kids from this newsgroup! People do not make such a big fuss over any game -> http://home.sprynet.com/sprynet/bnash/gp2linksai.htm .

Problem 1........ IT SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!! Other than that, It is a great game;) Mr Bill ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------

I agree with great game. I think SUCKS is too strong though. If you do not try to do a 100% real race or a Championship season it is great. It runs fine on my P5-133. I would guess that everyone is bailing on GP2 because GP3 is on the way... Some software does sneak up on you like that. Unfortunately I think I am done with future MPS GP products. I would not buy GP3 for full price, and am starting to look at some of the other products. POWER F1 is out too. There is another isn't there? Interesting though that no one can name the specific problems.... -- Header address intentionaly scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- > ------ says... > > >> Like I said.. > > >Why buy a product that you know has problems, and will not be fixed or > > >upgraded? > > Can you name the problems? > > JOH > > =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= > > When everything else failed, we can still become im- > > mortal by making an enormous blunder.... > > John Kenneth Galbraith > > =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

I do not think that GP2 sucks, but do agree with a lot of its detractors in that we are due some sort of Patch. I wish I could play multiplayer, so I could play Mr Bill at GP2 and show him how much he sucks at it, but multiplayer part does not recognize my modem settings. Just because computer magazines have rated it high, does not mean that it is perfect, or even the greatest. It just happend to be the greatest thing they saw that month. Critics regularly pan popular movies, most people do not listen to them, preferring to get judgements from other people who have seen the movie. I think that a lot of people on this newsgroup do the same when it comes to different sims.

The general opinion is that Power F1 can't claim to be a sim. Psygnosis F1 is due for release soon, but it looks like it isn't going to be a GP2 killer :( The graphics will be great (especially if you have a 3DFX board) but it isn't intended to be a hard core sim and doesn't even have a realistic***pit view. Cheers, Richard

Great. I guess GP2 is it. I do like Masayards GP2 addon stuff though. One thing about GP2 that cannot be beat IMHO is that I really get the feeling of driving & actually *having* to be in a certain gear in a certain corner. It has a "feeling" that ICR2 or N2 doesn't. I am always amazed when I watch a GP and see that the real drivers use the same gear at the same spots as I did in the game. -- Header address intentionaly scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes.

hmmmmmm, isn't it ironic that I use the same gear in the corners as the NASCAR drivers? Would that be maybe 4th at say ... Michigan or Talladega? You get no sensation of speed what so ever on GP2 once you have been spoiled with Nascar. GP2 is nothing but a messed up piece of cow dung. Good thing I had a shrink wrapper..... Bill ------- You know what they say, racing at Talladega is like going to the prom, there's not a damn thing you can do without a partner.

YEEEHAW hayseed!!! Oh ya... 4th gear on an oval?!? Yes I guess it is ironic. Sheesh. I just disagree. I have GP2, ICR2 & N2 and I like all of them. I also think N2 is by far the easiest to race & win. GP2 on the other hand is the more difficult. I certainly get a sense of speed in GP2 and I only have a p5-133. I will agree that GP2 is messed up from the fact that MPS is giving 0% support for it. -- Header address intentionaly scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes.

You know what? You should start a private e-mail correspondence with DG. Both of you would be real happy, and r.a.s. would be a real friendly place again. I'm sure you'll be able to find his address.

Good job. There are more sucky things about Grand Prix. Even though i dont have it, I already have enjoyed the feeling of Papyrus' sims. And there are more converters, documented cheats, extra tracks, convroversies, and more to make Papyrus the #1 in racing sims. Why was this newsgroup created? Papyrus. They were the first in racing sims. Go Jim!!! Christopher http://members.aol.com/ROSCS

While I appreciate the cheer, it's not particularly fair to my fellow employees. If I disappeared and they all remained, the sims would continue to come out. If all of them disappeared, and I remained, no more sims would come out of Papyrus. I get way more credit than I deserve here; plenty more credit is deserved by the other hard-working folks in the office... ---Jim Sokoloff, Papyrus

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ very lie is OK in the battle Crammond<->Papyrus it seems... Why can't people just enjoy both worlds without constantly trying to put the one or the other down?
