I really wish I could get my hands on a PS5.

Been a fan of this series and Milestone, the supercross series and MotoGP. This game is super frustrating so far though.*

They made a game that is supposed to be more of a sim experience which is a commendable notion but why no tutorial?

If you want to compete its necessary to learn the weight control and clutch mechanics but the game tells you exactly none of it.* I could understand if this was a hold right trigger for gas and steer type racing game that no tutorial would be necessary but that's not what this game is.

Its learn as you go, which isnt great when you are basically thrust right into your career from initial load up. To top that off I dont see any way to restart your career.* There is no option to do so. If you select the wrong difficult or settings you are stuck with that till your race weekend is over.*

I'd also say calling bike physics "wonky" is a bit of an understatement.* The problem is that you need to be close to perfect with your lines, which is probably pretty accurate* to real life.* Unfortunately your bike will develop a mind of it's own often. Swerving or jerking in an unwanted fashion causing loss of speed or worse a crash. I'm sure thats also realistic but the CPU doesnt live in that same physics world and seems infallible to these same mishaps.

Graphics are great. Dual Sense integration is cool. First person racing is amazing.* So there is good here though.

Yeah no kidding.

I tried to pre order with no luck because I have a job and cant camp out on the web 24 hours per day.

I've been checking in stock sites and such every day with zero luck again because I have a job and have not been lucky enough to be home the 10 minutes they are in stock.

Meanwhile ebay has a thousand units being sold at close to double the msrp.

I'm not going to pay one cent over retail and cant believe people are desperate enough to pay that kind of money.

I don't understand why they wont let us pre order one and have it in a couple months or so.

This launch is a train wreck. I'm about to just stick with my ps4.

it's easy to say that when you don't have a ps5. ive been wanting to buy two more as presents. the system is awesome (under the hood). i wish they pushed the release back a year since they say covid has hurt production. i definitely don't like how the roll out went but bottom line this is a system we all need.
