Complete Edition?

[ansnickers314]

Is there a way to buy the game and all the DLC together for a lower price? It looks like if I want all the content, I need to buy the game and all the car and track packs separately for a cost of around $200. Is that correct? I know this is supposed to be the best sim racer, but when its competition some its competition (like AC) is on sale right now for like $8 it just doesn't seem worth it.

[turtleCZ]

Yes, it's correct. You can stay with AC or invest into real sim... just joking :D But AC is not a competition. It's old cheap game based on mods. rF2 is active game with mods too.

[ansnickers314]

I know you were joking, but I would like to step up to this. I feel like rFactor 2 and iRacing are pretty much the pinnacles of the genre. And they charge like it. I paid less for Dirt Rally 1+2, ACC, AC and pCars 1+2 combined. So, I'm gonna wait for a sale and see if I can't pick this up cheaper, because $200 bucks is just too much for a single game in my opinion.

[turtleCZ]

Yeah, I think the game is awesome. I am already $100 in and have almost nothing from paid content. If you like great games, you won't be disappointed.

I think $200 is very optimistic.

ACC has the best GT3 cars.
Iracing has the best multiplayer system, and all cars feel like they were made with lots of care.
Rfactor2 is more leagues but has really well done content, great multiclass possibilities. Tho only the paid content feels exceptional.

Yeah they need to sort out some decent value packs I cant afford the pricing of this game

They don't need anything if this works. It would be nice if this model works for them but we can only guess. R3E is similar.

You can start with GT3 bundle (30€ in my country) and endurance bundle (21€) with spa (9€) and le mans (11€). Other tracks like silverstone, botniaring, etc are available from the workshop for free as well as some nice F1 cars. These are the most used content I think and the one I use the most (I've bought all items just for support, I'm still hoping for improvement other than just graphic and poor UI, slow loading times, etc...one can dream...).
Just be warned I really love rf2 but it's true that it really lacks in some departments and not really friendly to newcomers but once you try it with a good wheel it really worth the investment! I play other sims too (and like them for what they offer!) but none of them give me the same feeling behind the wheel (started with a poor G27, recently upgraded to full fanatec and it feels really nice ;) )

[turtleCZ]

I played other sims too but there is no reason now :D But I play on a gamepad and it's above everything I tried. Completely different league. New UI is OK to me, works exactly for what I need so it's fine.

Nah can afford to spend that kind of money, I've gone with AMS2 for my new racing game. It is making huge leaps forward and pricing is fairly reasonable although still more expensive than Project Cars 2, my favourite ever racing game. AMS2 is similar to PCars2 but improves all the downsides and I love the iidea of Custom Championships and the Real Weather. I liked the driving in RFactor2 but the graphics arent quite as good as other games and its just too damn expensive all round.

[turtleCZ]

PC2 was for the same price as AMS2. Both are OK for the content. Reiza could go easily higher.

rF2 is not that expensive. It's the best and you can buy it for approx. $250. And you have mods. Bridgehampton is one great track from many.

Lol $250 IS very expensive. Maybe not if that is all you buy for a year or all you buy is racing games. But for the rest of us that is a hell of a lot of money for one game. Especially when you think that I got all that content and more in PCars2 for £35, and Pcars looks so much better as well.

I am aware that RFactor2 is more of a sim than a game and is a bit more of a specialist buy than some other racing games so prices need to be higher. I will probably get Nascar21 in September so I will own an RFactor game then lol.

For now AMS2 looks exactly what I need - the improved PCars2 that PCars3 never became.

With AMS2 becoming a real racing sim competitor now though, RFactor2 needs to really up its game or it will get left behind the rest. Supposedly the new Racing America pack for AMS2 is really good, and some really nice tracks have come out for it as well lately.

Not true at all. One game for 10 hours for $60 could be expensive. Racing sims are for thousands of hours. Even $500 is OK.

PC2 is old game without any updates, you can't compare actual price then.

Yes, AMS2 is PC2 successor. The price is the same and that's right.

Well by that token you could say all games are cheap at £100 each if you play them for 200hrs each lol.

I played PCars2 for 190hrs, and PCars for the same and I invested about £100 into each by the end which seems good value to me. But £200 is too much. I would have to play RFactor2 for 400 hrs to consider that worthwhile, and I've never played a game for that much, ever.

Everyone has their own value rating in games and I can tell you RFactor2 isnt worth that much to me. If it was £40 for everything they have now I would buy it. If it was £60 I wouldnt. There is no way its worth £200 to me considering the stuff they have provided, bearing in mind its quirkiness, lousy UI and lack of gamaplay modes,

But its the in-game addons that really put me off, as you cannot refund them if they are rubbish. No way I would buy any of those without a way to refund them, not a chance.

I will probably end up spending around £100 on AMS2 maybe a bit more, and thats money that RFactor2 has lost out on because of their pricing and addon policy. They really need to rethink it, and consider some decent car and track packs available via Steam addond (not ingame) if they want to compete with AMS2 and ACC who are now the leaders in offline racing I would say (I dont play online).

Exactly that. If you don't play games for long, it's different for you then. It doesn't make much sense to pay a lot to play not much.

If there is nothoing better to you, the price could be higher.

And you can always refund everything, it's Steam.

I already spent over $100 on AMS2 and don't play it actually because I wait for some kind of completion. It's too WIP for my taste for now. It's very playable, no problem there but when you have rF2...

You get what you pay for.
