Xbox 1 migrant, seriously disappointed

Not sure where to post this and not one for whining, or even posting, usually, but....

A friend and I have really got into AC on Xbox1 recently, it's a great console sim, and we really enjoy it. We then tried rFactor2, which although complicated to set up, has a lot of flexibility and a slightly higher level of realism (although dynamically, not that much better than console AC).
So, given this experience, we both tried a demo AC on PC, and decided it was good enough to invest in a legal copy, and paid £23 to install via Steam.
You can imagine our disappointment then, when we realised that as standard download, the game comes with next to nowt of any use. The car selection is very limited and some of the tracks you'd expect to be there are also DLC.
I feel ripped off I'm sure console AC comes with more choice as standard. Because I went through steam, I can't get my money back, but at the minute I feel aggrieved enough to want to do that. Am I unreasonable?

So, I guess the question is, can I associate my xbox1 content with my PC content? And where should I post this to get the best answer?

 

Steam has 2 hours refund window. If you played under this time you can get your money back.

 

You have 1.1 hours on record so grab a refund. Problem solved.

 

You will see that I have also posted a thread - https://www.assettocorsa.net/forum/index.php?threads/moving-from-xbox-to-pc.48751/

Although I have certainly not played the game for two hours it been on for 3

 

Thanks Andrews, refund requested. The good news is that AC on console is as good dynamically, so I'l stick with that.

 

No, thank you.

 

Why two threads tho?

You should have read what's in the DLC packs on Steam before buying the game. Even more ridiculous that you downloaded the pirate version and didn't look into what's there... Ah right being pirate version it probably had all DLCs so you didn't know.

If you have less than 2h on the clock just get the refund like the guys above mentioned. If you have more, tough luck. You will know to read before buying something next time (hopefully). You can still get into mods and there are plenty of them.

Also if you had done it a week earlier you would save some money, all AC DLCs were ~50-70% off if I'm not mistaken.

Consoles version was released much later than the PC version and KS gave you consoleros a nice gift by bundling some of the already released DLCs for PC into the base game. Plus it wouldn't look good if there were ~5 DLCs at launch.

Edit: BTW kinguin and such can sell keys for cheap because what the sellers do on those sites (kinguin doesn't sell them directly themselves, they just provide the platform for the sellers) is buy a bunch of keys when they're on sale, then sell them for more than the sale price, but less than normal price.

Occasionally they're also purchased using stolen credit cards or other less than legit methods. If that happens, the keys can get redacted and you'll be SOL.

 

Failure to understand what you're buying and being ripped off are two entirely, distinctly, profoundly different things.

 

There is plenty and plenty of mods for the PC version of Assetto Corsa, really so much free stuff it will take you ages to try it all.

 

Remember to tell the console crew that it is not as perfect for us PC users as they all think

I think the price of console games genercally is the ripoff. AC is an absolute bargain in my opinion. Despite its age when compared to the competition I think its underpriced if anything.

 

The simple explanation is that the console versions included all the previous Dream Pack DLCs as base content, so when you bought it on console you had all that stuff included. But on PC those did not come with the standard package because they were added well after the release of the game, so you can't really expect those to be included in the base package. But the base game on PC is quite a bit cheaper than the base game on consoles so you didn't get ripped off and the game and its DLC are on sale on Steam all the time for very cheap. Besides that, there's literally hundreds of mod cars and tracks available for free to fill your garage with.

 

Anyway, console to PC is an obvious win, so I don't know what all the fuss is about

I'm curious to know what the console version has that the PC version doesn't? Only thing I can think of are the Dream Packs maybe, which probably everyone interested in them on PC already has and which are regularly on sale (and on top of that the base game is cheaper).

I'm a PC user but for the longest time (when I was still keeping track) I was complaining about the console version not offering all the content (until recently as they added the missing cars) and functionality yet, as in my opinion there should be a content/feature parity where possible - so I'm not quite sure what else the console version has over the PC version.

 

Yeah, all the DLC that was released before they started the console port. (which is dreampacks and afaik also Japan Pack)

Not sure what you mean, AC has gamepad support on PC. Only the UI is mostly mouse/keyboard-driven, but also offers more functionality in return.
