RealRacing3 again.
Since I have money+gold unlimited, that makes it a "playable game"
After spending quite some time on it (thanks the under average anime season), I'm getting the hang of it.
I don't exactly know how many players there are worldwide, but on time trials I'm often in the top 500 to 300, sometimes top 300 to 100.
Recently I've been able to score top 50 and even a top 20.
But it moves quickly and you have to go at it again.
Today, I just decided to use the hood camera, that makes the game even better looking. I'm a traditionalist, I love the cockpit view. But it is not a driving sim. It's more of a high speed stock car competition. Because AIs are programmed to smash into you wheneven they can, to suddenly brake and go through the raceline so that you crash into them etc... They are even skillfull enough to lift you rear end side enough so that you spin into that corner where you try to optmize your trajectory.
Why is that?
Obviously in app purchase. Repairing you car costs a lot of time... or real money if you can't wait!
But that doesn't matter when you hack the game.
So why is it fun?
Well, you can hone your skills in time trials, you can play against AI friends... meaning their race is supposedly recorded for an AI to mimic it in your race.
Picture quality is nice
Its fluid
and time trials are addictive, trying to beat your own ghost and your friends' best times.
What's pure gold is when at the 10th... (or more) try, you finally are able to get all your break points, reacceleration points and corners right and get the best time.
Just happened today, I was struggling to beat an old time I did last week. Then I was starting to beat the ghost by quite a margin on some corners. Another step was when I was nearing that best time on multiple occasions, by gaining time on different corners, and losing it all elsewhere.
And then bam, everything connected, 2.5 seconds improvement, 2 seconds better than the best of my friends for that circuit/car
Oh yes, each car handles differently enough that raceline change a little (or at times quite a bit), and of course break/accel points.
So you have lots of time trials for each car/circuit.
Of course, nothing's perfect, it's only an ipad, you'll never get what's in a car on a circuit. Believe me the latter is just incredibly mind and guts blowing (at least in a car with serious grip/Hp).
So just get it in your minds it's more arcade than anything. The most important is enjoying your time playing it and get over the fact that yes, cutting some corners in the grass can get you ahead, sometimes by a great margin... So play by those rules, or do not play those circuits (or at all).
See You!
