GT7 makes sense. There needs to be some barrier to make sure people know how to drive the cars without just immediately jumping into the game.
Tutorials under 1hr are ok. Once they go over that I stop playing.
It's not even just online MP. It's the split screen, too!
Besides: Why would there need to be a barrier? If you suck, you're just gonna lose. If there was a ranking system, eventually you only match with other players who suck. 🤷🏻♂️
Because losing takes out the other players too. Racing is unique in that if you’re bad, you’ll also end the races of multiple players around you.
limit the mp to ghost and "coop" modes - case closed
Online racing sim is one of the most bizarre "gaming" communities. I came to hate driving after years of several hours commute and have zero patience for virtual cars now, but the small amount of time I was trying out sim racing was plagued with cursed elitism. Having driven for many years with a clean license isn't enough for these people. You could be a professional driver for races and movies both and they would probably fault you for something. I don't know the game you are speaking of in particular so maybe it's not that bad.
Because noobs ruin the race for everyone else. Just watch older SuperGT videos about the shadow realm. I say if you want to get into multilayer in racing sims, you must have a valid driving license and a hundred hours of real life racing.
iRacing has a license system. You need to pass an exam to go above the rookie rank, and you can lose your license if you drive too badly and cause accidents.
Yep.
Why? What if I want to jump into the game and then learn how to drive the cars?
Then do that in single player, that’s what it’s there for
I didn't see that this was referring to multiplayer. In that case it makes sense.
Because when you people get online like in Grid, you just crash everyone else and now there's only a handful a people racing, fun is over before the first curve.
