is this worth getting?

how's the online community for this game and what's the single player aspect like?

Is the physics of the game realistic?

i played pool for years, use to go out every friday to pool bars, i have not done that since i have had this game.
the physics are great,
i recommend adjusting the controls away from default as, for instance i only use one keyboard button the rest is on my mouse, i make shoot button the space bar.
online community is very decent always 20-40 players in lobby and usually a game to play. there is a free version of this game but i dont recommend it as you get stuck with a small table
the 10 foot table is great to play on and the snooker. alot of people play 9ball and cowboy. and if you ever see player Slugs on just hit me up for a game or add. hope this helps

not sure what sp is if your talking about the offline player vs bot, i only tried once so that i could get the v$ bonus to buy a cue.

i just went ahead and got it anyways. sp aspect actually surprised me.

Soooooo many different game types, could play by myself and with bot, and bot seems quite reasonable in terms of skill, goes all the way up to champion and i found the novice bot seemed to be a reasonable starting point.

Was trying to select a table and said i had an illegal table lol. really impressed with this game so far, physics are great and do feel pretty realistic imo.

my go-to game

like the others said its the best pool game :) i appreciate the fact that there are many gfx options and you dont need the latest graphics card to enjoy it! cause i read a lot comments about gfx but i'm grateful i can play it on my laptop with intel integrated graphics.

I've been playing the virtual pool series since the first one, still have 1-3 on cd. VP4 is fantastic! The graphics, 4k here, and physics are top notch. I have a real table in my dining room but only play it with guests. I can play vp4 against ai/bot anytime, and it makes my real game better. My friends say i'm good at pool cause I own a real table and I tell them I never play on it, I play video game pool and they say i'm full of crap. LOL

Undoubtedly in my top 3 games EVER. And my gaming experience goes back to the ZX Spectrum. It definitely enhances your real-life game, for sure. Have played since the original in 1995 and nothing comes close to matching the accuracy of this series.

My only minor gripe is that I'd love to be able to design my own table in much greater detail, and perhaps my own environment. Of coure, this is just me being over-indulgent, but it would be nice. Celeris, if you're listening? (I'd pay for this option)

191 hours and many more hundreds before I got it on Steam. All playing SP.

It has its quirks, absolutely, but you won't find a better sim with a better control scheme.

Hell, I remember playing some early 0.9x builds of VP1 and it was just as engaging. One of the first games to support a zillion of SVGA graphic cards back then.

That's THE billiards sim, nothing ever came close to touching it. Unfortunately, since I for one would welcome some kind of competition.

I also found it actually improves your real-life game.

The only game that I continuously played since the mid-90's. If you're into billiards, that's the Solitaire of a time eater.
