2 pointsSell it ? Not worth it. I would gain maybe 20 or 25 bucks. Maybe less since the game didn't sell well. Btw, we didn't insult anyone and I guess we all respected the rules. The poll is clear. Answers are also clear. There are issues with the game. I'm eagerly waiting for Chris' answer (and not the usual "I'll check the dev team but y'know it's gonne be difficult" answer). We are customers before players and when you deliver a broken game like this one, you gotta ask yourself some questions.

2 pointsThey would be far less stressed had they simply not released an unfinished game in the first place. It is not acceptable to sell any software in this state. It never used to happen. In the days before the internet, games had to work as there was no way to patch it once its out there. It makes no difference if the games are more complicated these days, that just means they need more time to complete the game. They should give themselves that time. Im not here to test or report bugs, Codemaster's sold me the game to play it Yet I cannot. Its highly frustrating when people seem to accept this kind of **** as "part of gaming". It sends the wrong message to the game studio. If you bought a TV and it kept turning its self off, would you just accept that as part of watching TV? No, you'd get it fixed or replaced or get your money back. If you bought a car and it kept braking down do you accept thats part of motoring? Or do you get rid of the problem car and get a totally different one? Do you buy a cooked food and accept its part of eating if its raw? Or would you demand another COOKED one? Or storm out of the place without paying? Why are games any different. WE shouldn't have to wait for any patches, the game is finished. Its been through Codemasters QA. They have a whole floor dedicated to it. What does that say about their Quality Assurance. Maybe QA means Questions and Answers to Codies???

1 pointIf there is more DLC then new rally stages really need to be a priority. DLC costing as much as a full game has not added a single kilometer of new stage, which is pretty sad. You are not going to run out of rally cars to drive anytime soon, but driving the same stages over and over (half of which are from DR1 where we drove them over and over) kind of becomes a problem in rally since you are supposed to rely on your co-driver rather than know the stages from memory. New locations, or new stages for the existing locations, or both, as long as there are new stages

1 pointI don't wanna buy a new game, for godsake. I just want Codemasters to make this one great! This just came out, not even two months passed... how is that some people is already asking another game to fix the issues with this one? Is this 1995 or something? If anything, give the game another chance. It would he cheaper to fix this one rather than start from scratch doing a sequel. Cheaper not only for CM, but also for us who already spent money on Grid 2019! I think the game is "serviceable" now. I totally understand the gripes from the MP players, and I really hope they fix the mode ASAP, and also add some core features like the Career length and more tracks.

1 pointIt was "all for free"? 🙄 Tell that to the people who paid hard cash for that game, only to get "early pre-alpha footage" of a game for two years, while the clowns at Hello took their time fixing the mess. But agree with the sentiment that they at least did fix it finally. It's something. But, Hello are an indie studio with one active project. Do you honestly see any possible chance Codemasters do the same? I find it hard to imagine. Look even at people here, a few months after a disastrous release, and they already speaking about a sequel because they doubt a fix is coming. Don't get me wrong, I'd love for CM to say "mea culpa" and fix it, but as you can see, they are not even willing to make a commitment for almost any requested fix. "The team" is "looking what can be done". That's as evasive and as commitment-free as it gets. And people talking about sequels at this point are just rewarding this kind of behavior.

1 pointWhat is this nonsense talk about "next Grid". 🤦♂️ Fix the damn game first, it's broken, it's missing features. Who in their right mind would buy the "next Grid", after the fiasco of this one?
-
1 pointYep a new game in a series should build up on the features and content from its predecessor. If not it will end like Grid 2019 is atm...
-
1 pointWhere are the players if its not that bad ? 133 player 24h peak is horrible... Tbh i sometimes think they could give you 1 track and 1 car for 60 bucks and you would still say oh its not that bad ^^

1 pointOh it has features... just the ones it is missing is pretty effin basic! Story based race with no story... Campaign mode, if you can call it that, with fixed race lengths, in Autosport you had a career that in difficulty settings you could do x5 on the race length... because you know, it might take more than 2 laps to get from 16th to 1st. Car tuning, I'm sorry but i cant figure the tuning out in this game, it seems very random, Autosport has Brake balance, gear, downforce, ride height, suspension front/rear... what was wrong with that? some of the racing seems unrealistically fast too, I don't know might just be me but even mini feels like supercars these days and good luck controlling the ford gt with a gamepad. Lack of content, tracks, cars, race types. Multiplayer... SIGH!!!! No lobbies, this is such a basic fail on codemasters part, there is no defending this! Cant open private races to joiners, well i guess with no lobbies then this cant happen. Cant race at figure of 8 track, not fixed in the patch and not acknowledged my post on the bug. AI in quick-match, I guess that's because they don't expect people to keep playing this game like it is. Car tuning, Tuning affects the cars, if your car is tuned badly then hard luck, you have to wait until the group of races your playing has ended so you can exit out and fix the tuning, In Autosport we would change the tuning to suit the track, like lower down-force or change gears. If you disconnect from your private multiplayer then good luck getting back in, the AI takes over your car and you cant rejoin until the next race has started or back in the lobby. Where is the damage? This is just scraping the surface of whats wrong, If you want to know how the game should be then go fire up Autosport, people keep referring to Grid and Grid 2, forgetting about Autosport, but Grid and Grid 2 were more complete games than this, with proper multiplayer features. In autosport you could take your group of racers and go into public racing disciplines, we had racenet challenges, clubs, it was a far more involving community game. But Hey, we get Paris and Mini for season 1, probably in December as you know, stadia comes first now, If i wanted to race the mini around paris i would just load up autosport at this point tbh!

1 pointOh come on, we are all in the dark here, even when it came to your announcement on season 1 that you hyped, the only news we got was a picture of paris. Is the studio looking at implementing public lobbies or an option for public races without AI, if they have not decided on this by now then it is how we feared, this is the final deeply flawed game and all we are getting is bug fixes and seasons. for gods sake we cant even adjust the tuning of a car in multiplayer, got to exit out first!

1 point+1 for the pinned thread on the first page with a list of things you consider adding in game in near future and a list of things you will not add (and a reason why)... Only Idea > You can also rename game as Early Access , apologize to the people who bought the game and give them some extra content, lower the price and start adding things to the game.You might get more people and sale more copies. Graphics in this game are good, base is good, but lacking of tracks, cars, features and most important, lacking of real multiplayer... For once , listen to the community and consider adding some of most demanding suggestions.
-
1 pointwhen we get bored of the lack of content we will be going back to Autosport, it has pretty much everything you want in a multiplayer racer.
-
1 pointIf they don't fix all the issues, I don't see how that matters. And correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't only three new tracks coming in the "seasons"? That's still really poor content, sorry.
-
1 pointI'm gonna tell you what is counter-productive - to release an unfinished game and consider customers stupid enough to swollow it. With all respect!
-
1 point@ChrisGrovesMCM Can we get an answer for this potential game breaker?
-
1 pointThey didn't forget to tell you, because they didn't know. The release of extra seasons depended on sales figures.

1 pointHi Coffer, I have to agree with everything in your post, The codemasters of today are not the same in anyway. The codemasters of old 'ARE' Legends in my eyes. I should say that i was a Massive fan of Codemasters going way back to the Sony Playstation. I love racing games so have bought nearly all of there titles right up to this Saturday 2nd November. So Race Driver GRID (PS3) WOW the most ever played game of my collection to date, I had so much enjoyment out of that. I loved the track variations and being able to experience them in reverse, Spafrancochamps was awesome. there was so much to it with cool unique features 1 to mention was the ebay features. I was devastated when codemasters shut down the server But only for the PS3, In the peak of its running. The 8ballpack a 4 part dlc season pass only got to the 3rd and that was that. When the server shut the 8ballpack was unavailable in offline. To be fair the whole game was dead offline so never got to play it again. So Devastating for the PS3 Grid Racing Community, For me this was a sign of a change in codemasters. I bought Grid 2 & Grid Auto sport from Game and both were deleted with in a few days couldn't resell them as it was the time of the VIP pass that was a one time use code to unlock the online play which nearly killed the pre owned market. if you bought a pre owned title that had no voucher code you then needed to buy a new code from the PS store. which was around 7-10 quid i think. not to sure about the exact price. have to laugh about that 1 as this was a way of making more money from there second hand titles but it back fired and hasn't been seen again. (Greed brings karma). And a win for all the players ! For years now The players have been getting ripped off with unfinished corrupted data. that will need 5-6-7 and more patchfix bull. The Famous words Don't worry we can patch it. We just need your input as we don't need to bother with any testing. as long as it boots up that fine, And it make sense to sit and wait for the **** to hit the fan with all the reports make a quick note and then just go from there. we can have that all sorted in a few months, The Players will have to wait. We really do appreciate all of your valuable input and will keep you all updated with any fix info as and when work em out. So Guess what i bought from the PS store at 52.00 yep GRID Ultimate Edition Its the best game crashing freeze framing experience i have ever had. I knew there was something wrong with it because all the Guys on my friends list were playing it but for just a day or 2 and then nothing so i thought i would hang on for a bit and buy it on disk then if its a basket case i can demand a refund. then i see in the store it had been reduced already. and bells were ringing big time But it was GRID i had to have a look. 30 mins in i was having a rage meltdown. BUT THEN FINALLY I COULD SEE THE LIGHT. So a message to THE MASTERS OF CODE I will never buy your Games again. This was the last straw This game is a complete Mess and just 43GB of corrupt data and you new it but what the hell lets just get it out on the shelves and Online store we can use the patch it excuse lols. who ever is at the top of codemasters need to be gone and replaced ASAP. i really don't think there is any kind of testing or a team of quality control at codmasters what so ever. I had pen and paper and started a log count after it froze in the garage and again after i did a qually lap. it froze on me so far 32 times resulting in a restart of game and retry i also logged 13 blue screen errors while it was loading an event. at least i could send sony the video clip of crash with my calls for help. Sony needs to make changes also and do there own testing and have this kind of stopped from sales in the online store and on disk in city stores until it meets the proper requirements, This patch fixing is ridiculous some having 10 or more taking over 6 months and more before being playable with some never fully playable. I have a few of those titles that are unfix able and they are from the 1 and only. I think i have said enough now. This was my very 1st post ever. Because i am very outspoken i tend not to get involved in writing on forums i like prefer to read and learn. but i had to vent my meltdown. NOW I AM FREE from from the grasp of codemasters. For the players

1 pointGrid IMHO it’s the kind of game that can’t decide if being arcade or sim-cade/ kinda-sim. Resulting not satisfying neither of the two kind of Motorsport players...
-
1 pointIf you're not a friend of codemasters or an employee stop impersonating one..... keep it in mind next time you try throwing your weight around with people. So you are happy with the game, good for you. However the majority of people (nearly 90% if the poll is representative) are not. You have zero authority to tell people what they can and can't say.
-
1 pointWhen I said "constrictive criticism" I basically meant that we should tell them what needs to be addressed within the game. Some stuff they haven't done in past games, some may say. Ok, you have a point there. Some stuff they made in other Codemasters games, even other Grid games. You also have a point. But what I tried to say is, it's THAT (we telling them what to do) or it is nothing at all. And we all would have wasted our money and time. Despite everything, Codemasters will deliver the DLC for the premium buyers. So, during that, they have to keep improving the base game. Because I agree with everyone that there's a whole LOT to work on. And they better do it as best as possible. They need to leave a good image at least on the long run, if they ever plan to release a new Grid game some day...

1 pointHaving played Autosport basically daily for the last years the anticipation I had for this game and the disappointment that has followed have been of similar impact. There was me thinking of multiple full lobbies to choose from, instead there is emptiness until there are a few others who play with in the evening. The public online lobby browser is the one thing that can start saving this game.

1 pointUnfortunately we all fell for it, the ps3 version of grid auto is way better, and it's on the ps now, go and read what they said, they said they spent 2 years making the new grid, what new grid, ,it has less content then the PS3 version, and after spending £50 on the disc version when game was only 3 weeks old prior to been released, i now can't even sell ps4 grid as its almost half price on ps4 store , that's just to add insult to injury lol, i so much want to be positive but how can anyone be positive with 12 tracks and very few cars and no story mode,, you can only reverse and the tracks so many times,but there still the same track. i would had rather given £50 to charity or burned the money instead, when I posted about bugs about dirt rally or f12019 at least there's still a game we can play , with grid nothing , Codemasters statement a upon release of New Grid ( 2 months ago,) we've worked extremely hard over the last 2 years to bring you a brand new grid, it's for the sim and arcade who just want a causal race, it has everything, lots of different tracks and huge selection of race cars , who actually worked on the new grid, because it has less then ps3 grid version, loads of silly stupid bugs, it should have been released as a remastered version of grid auto sport and then offered on the free monthly games from Sony PlayStation, nothing has been added , sorry codemasters but I don't understand what's going on with your latest statement of grid , my apologies if I've got it wrong and miss read something,

1 point- multiplayer is a joke. My blame is for us, not for the company. If we are easy money why in the world any company should care ? - Stop buy game sequels if even only one feature is missing from previous episodes. (this force software house to keep on quality standards and contents). - Stop buy game on preorders and day1 !! specially if demo version is missing and you have just to check from dumb ytubbers and useless marketing videos (alonso..). Company and software house seems to care about feedbacks, what they really listen is the money talk only. Big fiasco sales of grid2019 = a chance to have a good grid5. Otherwise next episode will be even worse.
