Is this a joke?

Recommended Posts

I know a lot of people have been complaining about it...but how can i be this slow on straights?! Its ridiculous. I play around with 1 1 wings...have traction control on. take it off. use my wheel and manual gears. take my wheel off use automatic gears yet it still happens. The AI take about 2 seconds out of me on long straights like China. 

Taking the game back tomorrow for a refund as a result. And I know some people may say "why bring it up if your just taking it back". the reason i bring it up is because its a joke...how was it launched like this? are they going to patch it?

i know they plan to release patches. However, and i dont want to sound like reactionary hurt fanboy here, codemasters promised a lot with this game and under delivered therefore it leaves me slightly skeptical that i can trust them patching the game

Sure you're getting good exits off the corners? Then there's slipstream, DRS and they might be upping the revs.
reves on rich mix and drs...In a mercedes as hamilton on expert. being overtaken by Kvyat on straights.

just finished a race in which i got a great exit onto the final straight of bahrain behind a sauber as hamilton. had DRS and the sauber was still pulling away. im playing on ps4 btw. may just be an issue on ps4 :S

I know there are a lot of unhappy customers but why for the love of Bernie Ecclestone does there need to be a thread for every. single. person. to vent their frustrations and proclaim their intent to get a refund?

How about giving other topics some room to breathe and give the other folks an opportunity to have their bugs near the top of the page so CM can see the latest issues and fix them.

Not to mention unless you've got something major to report you'll likely only receive a handful of replies and your thread will ironically slip into obscurity and your voice may never be heard by those that matter most.

this is a pretty well reported bug. if you scroll though the forum posts a lot of people are complaining about it especially o ps4. i'm just writing what i feel as a fan of the series.

i dont want these games to fail. i want them to be brilliant :( 

i'll go and cry in the corner. sorry mum :P

I guess my point is putting all these one place would benefit everyone, not just CM but those who are looking for others with similar issues.

Sorry, wasn't really directed at you so much as just a thought in general.

DRS really seems to be very uneffective. In previous games, it made a difference, yet not in 2015.

The straight line speed of the AI is a joke. China in championship season with elite AI is just impossible to hold onto positions. I lose a full second per lap down the back straight.

The state that the game, or "product" as it has become, was released in is a joke. What with the lack of basic features of the F1 franchise. The appalling, ridiculous bugs.

It's a joke alright. Not funny.

No problems for me on PC. With Verstappen @ China on Expert AI I can pretty much keep Rosberg behind (just). Make sure you have the best possible exit (even if you have to sacrifice the braking a bit) and don't overheat the engine by using rich mix to much (this will cost you a lot of top speed).

Biggest problem I have with this game is AI levels, with Verstappen I shouldn't be fighting for P3 with Rosberg. But if I use Legend AI, the AI is 1,5 seconds faster and I'm left way to far back. At least on Expert the fights are very enjoyable. High time CM introduce a percentage system for AI difficulty.
