I have to say that this is one argument i will Not accept anyone elses opinion.
Console racers against PC racers pfffffffff.
Anyone that puts them in the same field is just Misguided. Harsh i know but true nonetheless.
PC racers combined with a good wheel are a league apart from console arcade type drivers.
GT legends is a top online racer with good physics and a good variety of cars and tracks. For ease of play GTL wins hands down as its just a case of CD in Patch and away you go. The cars handle how you would expect them to and there are plenty of public servers with peeps on to race.
RFactor for me is Number one though. For many reasons but mainly because of the feel and feedback you get from the game. With GTL it's more about balance and racing on the limit is quite comfortable. On RF you are on the edge with blinding speed and superb braking. It's pure white knuckle racing that gets the heart going and palms sweating.
Mods are released for RF weekly and most are brilliant additions to your garage. Currently the F1 Champions mod and the Lienz festival of speed mods are the ones to have.
Unfortunetly the number of mod releases does cause its own problems though, namely the fractured community and constant searches for the correct mod/track.
Using RSC forums though and one or two friends you can soon own and race the best online racer out there and that is Rfactor.
And O.P. the thought of you using a controller other than a wheel makes me and my Frank staffy dog cry like girls.
I have only known one dude who can race better with a controller than a wheel and he is a blatant freak.
Get a wheel and a few other games you will not regret it.
PC driver must have list.
