I'm having fun

The game isn't yet good enough, but they started addressing some of the problem many described (myself included in the original review) so I'm going to deliver a positive review, as an encouragement.

-original-

I've been playing video games for almost 30 years and rarely have I found myself in front of a good game ruined by such a quantity of imbecilic decisions. FM is indeed a good game, once you're on the track and forget about everything else. Nevertheless, I have decided to give a negative review, like many others, because Turn10 needs to know that this is not okay, and they need to change course. Something they haven't done so far, no self-criticism, everything's fine.

The good:

-Good driving model, fun, and a perfect simcade.
-Satisfactory car lineup.
-Satisfactory number of tracks.

The bad:

-Performance is disappointing.

The stupid:

-The career mode is pathetic. A very limited number of events, where often you can only select a handful of cars. This wouldn't be a problem if the number of events wasn't ridiculously low. Add more. I want to be flooded with events in the career, I want to always have something to do. What's the cost? Are you afraid we'll feel overwhelmed? Copy from Gran Turismo 1, released 20 years ago but infinitely superior to this mess you've created. Get rid of time-limited events in single-player. Is this an MMO mobile F2P? In multiplayer, they're fine, in the career, NO.
-Driving against the AI is extremely unsatisfying. Bots are not at all capable of overtaking but are extremely skilled at pushing you off the track! In the old days of the PS1, I played a lot of Destruction Derby, and I swear the bots were less infamous than these. Not only that, the bots are worse than the average human! With that said, considering the jerkiness of the average person, this is probably the biggest achievement reached by FM, congratulations!
-The penalty system is obscene: touch another car = 0.5 seconds penalty for you; someone rams into you for laughs = no penalty. The AI managing penalties is obscene, redo it.
-The new experience points system needed to buy car upgrades needs to be revised. Right now, it's stupid. At level 1, I can buy a RACE exhaust, but I have to wait until level 12 (!?) to apply a basic weight reduction. We're talking about removing the spare wheel and such trivialities. What's the point? Turn10, insanity at its finest!
-They introduced this experience points system to prevent players from buying 1000 cars and instead focus on a smaller number of cars. I'd be okay with it if I could do it. I'm drowning in cars I can't drive anywhere, except in Rivals! Unless I redo the OPEN tournament again and again, with 5-minute races... No, you want me to drive the cars you picked. Drop it. Let me play as I want!
-Before each race, you're forced to do a few laps... of practice, and then you can choose from which grid position to start. What is this madness? Since I'm forced to do laps, make it qualifying! And based on the times, the starting grid is chosen.
Given the stupidity of what was said in the previous point, the career offers rewards for simply completing a TOUR (a series of events). Come last? It doesn't matter, here's your prize. I can't think of anything more unsatisfying. It's a game of racing competitions, I have to earn the rewards, damn it!

There is still hope, because everything wrong with the game can be fixed. Let's see if it happen.
I have two questions for Turn10:

Do you play your own game?
Why are you sabotaging yourselves?
Wake up and stop killing this game!

*sad note: the "community" of this game is largely made by maggots or children, multiplayer is cancer. Unfortunately ♥♥♥♥♥♥ behaviors are magnified (and encouraged) by the penalty system, that is absolutely terrible.

Uno dei miei gdr preferiti di sempre!

appena finita una partita durata una ventina di minuti e persa ai supplementari
ero l'ultimo rimasto e all'ultimo secondo tachanka m'ha accoppato
splendido

un originale ibrido tra fps e tower defense. divertente e, con le opzioni giuste, difficile. soundtrack apprezzabile e carisma in quantita. i coffee stain studios hanno talento, aspetto il loro prossimo lavoro. con i saldi si trova a prezzi vergognosi, da provare assolutamente

davvero un bel gioco. racconta una storia di vendetta. liberta di scelta su vari livelli, cioe sia banalmente su quali strade prendere per concludere le missioni, sia sul come concludere queste missioni. purtroppo il protagonista e' muto. stile grafico molto personale, a me e' piaciuto. tecnicamente solido come una roccia e leggero come una piuma. volendo anche rigiocabile. dlc tranquillamente trascurabili

due cojoni mai visti prima. devi girare per questa casa e leggere i diari della gente che ci vive. e basta. perche' me ne dovrebbe fottere qualcosa?

una bella sorpresa. molto stimolante e originale. divertente e difficile. probabilmente un pelo di troppo basato sulla fortuna, ma ci puo' stare. una partita tira l'altra. provare per credere
