What a joke

Why have you guys not done the one thing that everybody wants and let us host are own lobby with the cars and track that we want to play. It's shocking me and my friends have spent the last six months looking forward to racing together on your game we all buy it put it and we can't do the one thing we want. With in 30 minutes we were back on project cars. You guys need to sort this.

 

I guess it will happen sooner or later.

 

I always thought PC simracing community is demanding and sometimes harsh, but these console threads are unbelievably rude and childish. For example this thread, I was sure opener of this thread was something like age of 16.
But no, it's 43. You might think at that age you have ability to express things just a little bit constructively and more polite way. And I'm not talking only this thread. It feels that most of console threads are similar to this.

 

Why exactly is OP childish? He as a valid point imo.

 

He has a point yes, but it's how he express and verbalize it.

 

New guys here have to understand that best way to get attention to their cause is to ask nicely

Those who know Stefano's way to react and passionate toward this game will understan. He is like NATHAN R. JESSUP

 

Yeah don't bring that tone.. it's familiar from other game forums, it's not how things work in here. People who can't speak like adults get lifetime bans very very quickly. At least on PC side.

Your complaint is legit, there should be private lobbies because leagues can't happen without that, and it's heavily MP focused game. But the tone wasn't right.

 

Are you people serious?
What's wrong with his tone?
And to think Project Cars forums were bad with their zealots. Seems we are in for round 2. Geez.

 

Disrespectful. The devs are Italian with the Italian temper. They listen to community feedback A LOT and have added long list of features and cars requested by community. You can present feedback and bug reports as much as you like. Do it in polite way and they will very likely add that feature. Do it in impolite way, and you're likely either a) not listened b) banned.

Use proper informative topic names..."What a joke" is not a topic name. "We need private lobbies ASAP" is a topic name.

 

I've just re-read the post, he hasn't edited it either, and I still fail to see where is that disrespect you talk about.
I've said before and I'll say it again: a good developer has a thick skin. Trust me, I know.
Now, on the PC world things happened in a certain way.
However this is now about the console release. For a game that has been in development for two years, it is expected a certain level of polish that wasn't achieved with this release.
Sure, i too believe future patches will improve it, but while PC users might be happy to pay for something broken that will be eventually fixed, most console users are not like that and expect things to work. This in turn brings frustration, which is what you at now seeing throughout the console forums.

 

Yeah can admit it's disappointing to see there is no private lobbies or leaderboards on console yet.

It's very small team of around 30 people, and PC version is constantly under development too and will be long until 2017, with completely new features added. Custom championships were supposed to come for version 1.8 on PC, also all GT3 cars updated to Tyre Model 10. But they didn't make it yet, so probably has been very hectic. Seems they ran out of time, but private lobbies will surely come later.

 

If the game was being sold for 20$ I don't think anyone would have minded to wait for patches and improvements, but when you are charging 49$ almost the full price of any console game you expect a decent outcome from the game and not anything else.

These are mostly full priced AAA titles by biggest studios and publishers, with massive multi-million dollar budgets. Welcome to gaming industry of 2016, things get released somewhat finished, and patched later. Compared to some of those, Assetto Corsa console version is working flawlessly.

For example a little indie game called GTA5.. multiplayer was a disaster at launch & took them a month to fix it: http://gamerant.com/grand-theft-auto-online-launch-connection-problems-errors-support-faq/

 

Do you really think that destructive criticism is better way to change things or to get heard around here than constructive criticism?

 

I find the thread title a bit disrespectful to be honest, not to mention childish.

 

That is not logic, comparing indiegame pricings with one of recent pc sims most popular titles. And KS are surely working their butts off to improve the game that their publisher demanded for release, even though KS never released anything on consoles before. Business is business, but looking back at pc-history, I think KS will deliver on the consoles as well.

 

@ShredatorFIN
So what? Nobody can complain because they are small team and games are big today and the rest of that nonsense? I don't care how big their team is. If it's too small they should probably hire someone or don't release unfinished product. Nobody cares. And it's normal to request fixes whatever company (big or small) it is. I paid them my flawless money so I expect flawless product. End of story.

Show me so many bugs in any Nintendo title for example like it is "normal" to have right now in any Ubisoft title.

And you know what? I'm a game developer myself. But also - I'm a gamer and customer, first.

 

We´re all customers. What are you? I mean really, what are you doing here?

 

The thread-title itself is kind of childish, I agree but the post isn't at all.
I really really don't get it why the PC-fraction reacts so butthurt if someone critizises AC.
Try to help and don't get so angry guys!

I agree. For the consumer it's not important how big or small a company is. But please consider that's the first attempt EVER to release a Sim on consoles. Yes, Kunos made mistakes it seems, but I can assure you those guys are very passionate and hard workers. They will do anything that's possible to make AC as good as it is on PC.
Try to be patient, that's my advice. Kunos will work it out, they never disappointed in the past.
