Was hovering over the buy button on CDkeys earlier but after watching this video i think i might just hold out a little longer, been burnt enough with motorfest
I bought the gold for the early access. I've played it 10 hours in that time and half of that was this morning because I could not get on the servers, or id be in the middle of the race and get kicked off and have to start it all again, which is obviously extremely frustrating. As well as that, you get the error "your game has not been saved" pop up quite a lot which is worrying. They seemed to have fixed all that though for the most part and I had no trouble this morning.
In my opinion, the game feels very unpolished, the graphics are pretty bad, the avatar is comical, and the hair is pathetic. I have a 4080super and there is some stuttering in more built up areas even at 1080p. I found out this morning, there can only be 8 racers on open world at all times, which I thought was pretty ridiculous as they have some huge underground carparks that I thought would be cool for car meets or something. It just feels like it's lacking so much. It's ok if you just want to drive around and do some tasks.
Also, If you win a few races, the AI difficulty goes up to experienced, and most of the time, even if they have the same car as you with the same power, they will drive out of your life, like you're standing still. And there is no option to turn the difficulty down for them either.
I have has one person join me for a race in the whole 10 hours I've played, and probably seen about 6-8 driving around in that time. Obviously it's early access but I'd have thought I'd see more people. Oh yeah, it's region locked and no crossplay too!!
