I'm pretty close to just abandoning this game and go back to SCE, Rfactor2 and even Race07.
What this PCars does that I really like is the scripted wet to dry and dry to wet transitions during races.
Among the many things I hate is the braindead AI. They will dive bomb the hell out of you as they pit and just in general drive like it's a destruction derby. I forget how many times someone has shunted me off the track as I go to brake into a corner.
Another is the way too forgiving car handling. You can get away with so many things that if you tried it in SCE or Rfactor2 you would be spinning until next year. Way too much traction off kerbs and the AI can drive offroad as if it was a fully rubbered in track.
Just a final point, is the tire model broken? I drove for at least 8 laps with wet tires on a dry track going flat out and there was no noticeable wear at all (pretty sure they should be molten at that point). Tire wear was definitely on in options.
Am I being too hard on this game? I wanted to like it so much but it just annoys the hell out of me.
Off topic, but I'm looking at Reiza's crowdfunding page. I'm liking the level 5 tier, just for the Steam copy for next game including eventual DLCs. Seems like good value, supporting the team and getting the new game in return. Have many around here put money in?
