RE: Thoughts on iRacing: Rambling words about the best sim-racer out there and why it is not for me

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

The business model behind this game sound much like a rip off. From what you are decribing, it does not have much more to offer than PCars 2 when it has the right settings (which, admittedly, is a science in itself). It reminds me a lot of some "free to play" games, like "Warships" and "world of Tanks" on the PS. In those, you can play for free, but for any decent game experience you have to buy add ons for hundreds of dollars. I once fell for something similar: Zen Pinball. Over time, I bought about 100 tables for it, for about 3 to 5 dollars each. They are mostly real good fun - but it was a lot of money as well.

I'm very thankful for your recommendation about Project Cars 2. It is the most fun I've had with a racing game in a very long time, probably since GT3 on the PS2 back in the day. :D

Pinball is an expensive hobby. I had a friend who had a room full of machines. They're worth so much, but so hard to move (figuratively, and literally).

I was always content with Space Cadet pinball on Windows. :D

Well, the virtual pinball wasn't cheap, but to have real pinball machines is crazy. They need proper maintainance if you want to keep them functional. Thats specialist work and it needs spare parts, like new rubber bands and such.
Despite all I said, I would recommend Zen Pinball 2 all the time. I tried a few other, but they were not as good. You can try it yourself - the actuall program is free and comes with one free table.

Sorry, I just checked, the newer version of Zen Pinball is called Pinball FX 3. But the rest I said is correct.
