DZUKELA Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 F1 2014's a strange game, then, and one I can't even accuse of being just a casual reskin. It's a quantifiable step back for the series, saved only by the fact that what's there remains a satisfactory companion piece to this year's season if you're fortunate enough to have a decent steering wheel. There is at least one other new layer of authenticity for this year's game, though; charging full whack for what amounts to a slight downgrade is the kind of one-sided deal that would do even Bernie proud.http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014-10-15-f1-2014-review Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still waiting for my download code but finger's crossed I get that today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcelandTBR Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I've been keeping my gaming PC up to date, but I'm having a blast in the racing leagues with the good bunch of guys over at KFF on the PS consoles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are allowed to have opinions. Not everyone's going to be satisfied and we are allowed to express our views. We have already spoke about Codemasters not listening to us, and maybe being the cause of the poor game and bad reviews..closing a thread with constructive feedback isn't going to help too much... I now see the review thread has been closed as well!!! WHY?????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So glad reviewers are pointing out what we've all been saying for months.. And still no word from Codemasters.ive loved this series and always stuck up for them, but I'm feeling a little ripped off this year. People finally understanding that PC gaming isn't as expensive as some make out, yes it costs more to build a good PC but games are always cheaper o:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkRedslayer Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Still more expensive and more of a hassle than consoles at the end of the day.lll never really get the arguments anyway. Both have advantages and disadvantages and both NEED to coexist to get the best games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R4pp3r Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 how is a pc a hassle? you plug it in and dont move it again least it doesnt try and update every 2 seconds and when it does it doesnt stop you from playing for hours lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sound very bad, shifting is not felt, the impression that you driving on variator2. Physics.... don't know how to describe ... bad3. Graphics... GAS much better looking4. No russians translate, yes, Russian aggressor (sanctions, world ignoring), and kill our peoples (and not only our), but this is not a reason to not translate the game5. And most importantly (for me), Loore & company, i ask 4 years to add in game Ukrainian flag - complete ignoring, promised to add F1 2013 (many thanks added in GAS), only a promiseBut with such trifles are create great games, repeat for 100500 time, yours better F1 games - F1 2010 & F1 2011 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's 28 but knows nothing about settings and bla bla bla. It's as simple as console gaming these days, Nvidia has a program that will set all the settings for you so you don't even have to mess about for ages looking at what your PC can handle. I like my consoles to but when there's a problem you can't do anything about it, atleast on PC you can work around problems ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkRedslayer Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I didn't say I can't use one lol. But unless you want to pay 2x as much for a PC that only matches the PS4 in power, you're gonna want to build it yourself. And even though it is (In my opinion anyway) easy to put one together, you still have to make sure you buy compatible parts. Then there is drivers etc. (still not that hard, but still more of a hassle than consoles)If you want to over pay, or if you pretend the build process doesn't exist, then yeah its just as easy.

Dez0808 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Your right that building your own PC can be difficult even if you can use a PC. The difference for me is you can upgrade a certain component and extend the life of the whole PC. Consoles your at the mercy of the manufacturers. Once a console is out of date its worth next to nothing, your forced to upgrade to play new games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll just stick to one 1440p monitor for now. What wheel you getting?

DarkRedslayer Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 @.@ Typical.Side note, those of you hoping consoles fade and PC becomes 'mainstream'. Be careful what you ask for, as PC gaming as you know it will change, and not in a good way IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
