Multiplayer

[Jee Willikers]

Wow, just had my first taste of Multiplayer action after having this game for about 2 months now and completing most of the career challenges. Man, can it get any worse??? Milestone is really working hard to not profit from their games in the future. This has got to be the worse multiplayer set up I have ever experienced in the almost 20 years of racing motorcycles online(first one SBK2000). Game came out in 2018. Shouldn't this (s h i t) supposed to get better, not worse!! I've heard MotoGP 18 is the same multiplayer garbage. I know it would be hard to do but why not band their future games and go back to what we have in the past. We still have the older games, why not go back to playing RIDE2 and MotoGP 17 again. This is str8 foolishness. Milestone is taking our money but continue to make bad product. Something has really got to be done about this and the only way to do this is lightening their pockets with our money. STOP BUYING THEIR CRAP games.

I feel you bro. Without the option to collision off, this kind of online option will continue to suck. I think milestone dont want us to enjoy multiplayer. Theres a lot of complain in motogp18 regarding this but they still use it here. What a waste of money.

Not only that, when there were no bikes near me, it sounded as if a bike was inside of my ears the entire race. I couldn't even hear my own bike, especially when I needed to shift gears when I needed to, I couldn't. Loud freak'n ghost bike right next to me and no bikes near me. Guess Milestone is gonna put me into retirement when it comes to racing online. This is really pathetic. And we all keep buying their crap hoping they would finally do something desent for a change. I know it can be hard to make a pc game to make work on all different made pc's out there but how do they F up multiplayer. I just don't get it. Them F nuts are laughing at us with their pockets full of our money. This has got to stop.

I agree that this should be stop. I didnt buy this on release day because i promise to myself not to buy another game from this dev because of what they did in motogp18, but I cant resist buying this, everyone was on it. But after this 2nd failure I assure you that I wont buy that next motogp release unless they bring back the old style of multiplayer, that is the most important to me. Its become normal to this dev to release a half finish game.

And the switch to Unreal Engine was just just them jumping on the "me too!"marketing bandwagon.

UE4 offers no advantage over the previous offerings other than graphics and th eability to natively lock out modding and asset snatching.

The engine noise you can hear is the sound of someone else's bike coming over the coms. I was having this and thought I was smoking some good ♥♥♥♥ but twigged it and muted the noisy pookienoodle. Sound was back to normal once done... Just can't remember the riders name...

Yeah, the only reason why I didn't buy MotoGP18 is because 17 didn't work online for me. I never had problems with playing online until 17 came out. So I didn't want to take that chance. I won't be doing it either with future Ride games until some devs other than Milestone takes over the rights to make. Just unbelievable!!

I dont have any problem on 17 both ps4 and pc. Thats the reason I bought 18 in pc and ps4 too, but i was so dissapointed the ps4 version is looks like slo mo version of pc its unplayable on my ps4 slim. And this one came, I thought they will not copy the multiplayer style of motogp18 or atleast a little difference from it but no, this dev wont listen to us. That bug report thread is useless.

Its an easy way for a dev that has not created an inhouse engien with super high fidelit graphics to "have the 4K look" wihtou doing the hard work.

But of course it comes with all the built in commercial favoring UE baggage.

Ok. I gotcha. Hopefully they will do somethng about it. Thanks.

I just hope default multiplayer public lobby has no collosions and no AI. Players from Japan to around the globe USA are joing same lobbies. No matter how good your internet is...the bikes appear flying and sliding all over. Unless 2-4 friend join a private lobby, the multiplayer as is quite tasteless. Am I the only one who experience this or everybody else feels the same.

I played Grid Autosport in 2014 that too had some peer to peer system. The host was transferred to another player if current one leaves without casuing any disruption to the session. You could even make someone else host of the lobby if you dont want to be the one. It had voice chat, text chat, collisions, voting and everyting else you logically expect. I am from India and played full grid races with people from Europe and Russia on my then so so Internet. The netcode was good enough to detect collsions properly for some very entertaining close racing action.

Ride 3 multiplayer is so basic and useless for a 2019 game. I on the best stable Fiber internet I can get and play FPS games like R6 with no major issues. This game MP experience on the other hand is horrific. Maybe Milestone should learn a thing or two from other developers. Skills as an employee tend to stagnate if you get too comfortable doing same rubbish year over year :)
