iRacing

Anyone here interested in it, or planning on picking it up on release?


Personally I can't wait. I know some people don't like the pricing, but I really like how they are doing things.

Re: iRacing

I interested, but I don't think my comp can run it well, so I'm not going to pay money for a game my computer can't run well.

Re: iRacing

Negative.

First, I doubt my rig can run it properly. Two, paying a monthly subscription fee for a game that can't be modded?

Nope.

Take care,

Funny, that's one of the things I like about the sim.

Yeah i agree. I bought rfactor to run the mods, i bought ARCA to run league races, and im going to pay for iracing so i can run open races that have a consequence for idiots being idiots.

Plus the fact that people will have to work their way up to the big better cars will be fun.

We wont all be NASCAR racers, which is a good thing, maybe some of these people racing in the open servers will learn how to drive.

Yeah, but then you won't be able to put Kenny in the wall.

Yup, but that is why we have these other games. I got him good in rfactor a couple weeks ago.

Probably never would be in a race with him anyways if he is ranked way above me.

this is the only problem that i really have with the iracing deal is that i wont beable to run against my friends and the people i know...in races and other things like that...this is probably one of my top reasons i race online is to race with some people i know but either way i will still be getting it and cant wait too.

I'm with you PK, they are not getting my $$$. From what I hear, there is a split on how well is going to be. That's what I've been reading anyway.

And from doing my own research and seeing one of their reps in Simracingtonight.com, it looks like it is going to be like those MMO subscrption service deals...no thanks! I'll keep my rFactor and Live for Speed, GTR2 and ARCA which I just purchase and waiting for by the way which is free on line and lots of fun.

All I know is that Iracing better be good or the big bad Boston Red Sox owner will be pretty mad in his investment!!..lol

Re: iRacing

From what I hear, this is going to be the biggest rip-off ever to come to sim racing. That's what I've been reading anyway.

How so?

Re: iRacing

How so?

Hi Chaos,

My bad, I should have put it this way, there are different opinons on it. Some are saying it is a rip-off and some are saying it is going to be great!!.more like a split I guess.

Anyway, I'm more dissapointed in that this will be more gear to the ones that can afford to pay a monthly subscription...I'm not in that category so I was more speaking for myself...sorry about that.

Hey, if you do get it, enjoy it!! I hope it is good!

Yeah. We'll just have to wait another month or so until it's released to really find out.

I'll be buying it as soon as I can, but I won't be doing a years worth subscription as I can't afford it at the moment. Because of that, I'll only be spending the same amount as what I would on another sim. If it's horrible, I'm not out anymore money than I would be with any other sim out there. If it's great, then the money spent is a bargain.

If the sim is as accurate as they claim it is, $13 a month is pretty cheap. Lately I've been looking into doing some local SSCA stuff, and the cost to do that is insane when you consider how little track time you get. You can easily spend $1,000 a weekend, and get less than an hour and a half worth of track time. And of course that doesn't include the price of the car, and everything you spent up to that point.

No need to be sorry.

Hi Chaos,

Yes, now that you put it that way, I guess you're right!..it's not that bad, still, I can't afford at this time, paying any monthy subscription. I have no job!, lost my job due to outsourscing...but that's another issue..lol!!.so..anyway!

Please, let us know when you do get it and how it is!!..I'm sure it is going to be very good knowing the developer's David Kreamer(SP?) past racing sims which were great!!

thanks for your understanding in my previous post..I should think and be more specific when I post....

peace

Re: iRacing

i just look at it this way, that is 13 Mt. Dews i dont have to drink in a month. It doesnt seem too bad for all they are offering, and with the way it is layed out, i cant wait to be able to funally just go sign up for a 9pm race, and race.

I think after awhile it will pick up, this isnt for everyone. It is differnt from anything else out there.
