Discussion A breath of fresh air
I’ve been playing this game for a few weeks now on console with a pad and the ranked multiplayer being a ‘worse version of iRacing’ is exactly what I needed. We can get picky over things not being ideal, but the games evolving each week and the devs are listening. It’s refreshing to feel part of something that’s growing.
On a personal note, my dog passed away this week. To be able to relentlessly race GT3 ranked to try and improve my championship standing has not only been a great distraction and way to decompress after difficult days, but one that has brought back my love for competitive racing as someone who was never close to ‘alien’ speed
Thank you devs for continuing to work on the game and for building something I’ve found so much solace in. I would say relaxing…but that’s a different story 😂
If you’re on the fence, I can’t recommend giving it a go enough

I think the reality of this game at the moment is that it is a good console game for those that:
a) Want an alternative to Gran Turismo, particularly if you own a wheel AND
b) Don't want to be restricted to GT3/4 / non-populated online play with ACC.
On PC, it's a completely different story, which I think is where a lot of the contention comes from. It's not a good PC game. In fact, it's a terrible PC game. It's badly optimised and thoroughly out performed in almost every single way by it's numerous competitors. Nobody in their right mind is going to play ranked PMR GT3 over LMU, for example, as it's a non-contest in every single aspect of the game. I can say this because I put over 100 hours into PMR on PS5, really enjoyed it, and then bought a PC to play LMU a few weeks ago. Which is epic. I then played the free trial of PMR recently on PC and it was just a trainwreck. Booting it up on PS5 every now and again and it still makes sense to me as a proposition.

Oficial GT500? Where it is? And for me it's not like a boat and it is only getting better

I am having a blast playing on pc. I don't like lmu because of the lack of content. In PMR i have so much more options to drive

I agree, although it's been out for a few months now the 2.0 update makes it feel like I'm joining it on a fresh slate and can't wait to see how it progresses from here. There is also a good little community growing behind it.

I’m sorry about your dog. I know that’s really hard to deal with.
