PC2...is it worth buying now?

Hi all, I know this is the AC forum obviously, Ive been out of the loop for a while, and I'm just wondering what the current state of PC2 is with updates etc and is it worth buying now?

 

Perhaps post in a PC2 forum?

 

Maybe ask in the 405 page thread which is about Pcars2, located in this very section of the forum; 3 threads beneath this one

 

Amazing reply lol....I want to get the opinions from AC players on FFb etc

 

Just do it as I did:

Read here: Project Cars 2.

Watch some videos on youtube and read comments.
Wait until it reaches a certain price you'd like to spend on that game. (I haven't purchased it yet.)
And/or:
You can also test it via Steam but 2 hours may be a little bit too short
Somebody can share the game with you via Steam Family ...
There are lots of lots of possibilities.

No need for another thread here IMO.

 

no

 

If only demos existed nowadays....

 

wait for patch 3.0 is what i recommend.

 

It's way too early for such question. The game has been out only for a month and a half. It's only at the beginnig of post-release patching and polishing process. Based on experience with its predecessor (or AC and rF2 for that matter), I'd say it's more sensible to wait about year and then make a decision. That's what I'm going to do.

 

I bought PC2 at launch and don't regret it but if I was buying now I'd definitely wait for patch 3 and the autumn sales. F1-2017 and Dirt 4 have already had sales so I'd be very surprised if PC2 wasn't discounted (by maybe 30%) in the next few weeks. If you are really cautious then Art's advice is good.

 

If you ask me, then no. Patch v2.0 didn't change a lot compared to v1.xx and it's still to expensive.

From what I read, there is a new large v3.0 patch coming in the near future, that supposedly addresses a lot of the current complaints about AI and the online ranking system. Apparantly we even get a changelog this time. I'd suggest you wait for that patch and then a week or two to see what the people across the different fora (forums?) think.

 

No, I had fun initially with the rain and night thing. But almost every car just bloody oversteers for no apperant reason when driven on the limit. Yesterday I did several laps in AC in the Porsche GT3 rs. Then I did the same in PCars2 and it is just horrible. The graphics are still very nice though but the driving is less fun. I'm now at the point of regretting buying it.

 

It's going for 30 bucks on Cdkeys at the moment, game still has minor issues at the moment which are a bit annoying (AI speed not consistent across all combos, setups saving a bit buggy and online needs some work), but it's nothing game breaking IMO. It's my go to sim nowadays, better than AC in some areas, not so good in others, but it's the only one currently offering this much content and features packed in one game and it has day/night + weather.

You're on loose setups I suppose? Try loading the stable or OEM ones for a start. Also test different tyres and if you have the knowledge tuning the cars works great to counter any odd behavior on default.

 

This. The game has some bugs at the moment. The content, the feature set, it's all there but some online and offline bugs exist. Wait for the 3.0 patch. If they fix most of the issues like they claim, get it during the xmas sale on steam. Something tells me we'll get at least a %20 sale.

 

Do we really need another pCars2 thread, one is not stinky enough?
Reported.
