I am just envisioning a way they'll do it that is successful. All they really need to do is balance the cost vs. reward so that people think they're getting a deal on a free to play game that adds new content periodically, and you can make progress either completely FTP or only spending a few bucks a month on pulls, but still lets whales go crazy and be able to show off with like gold plated skins.
A game that does this correctly without going overboard to push away the casual market could make the model work.

Loved Mafia 2, Mafia 1 is also a really cool and interesting game worth checking out but it's more linear. Mafia 3 was just alright, sort of a mediocre GTA wannabe sort of game, not exactly bad but I would focus on the first two.

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if Forza or NFS did something ridiculously shitty like this because EA and Microsoft are apparently retarded these days and seem to openly embrace the worst ideas anyone could come up with. I think GT is going to stick to what it's been doing with GT7 though, it's really become the standard for racing sims these days and has a very dedicated following of real enthusiasts.

Forza just sucka ass now though. How are you going to make a racing game and make it where h pattern shifters don't work on it?
AC Evo is going to have a free range area the size of Germany so I'm not sure how these shit tier racing games are even holding on anymore.
Its sad too, forza brought some cool features to the genre then just ended up shitting the bed.
Feels like the golden age in sim racing right now though. Hope it lasts awhile before it's Inevitable greed phase.

What are the good racing games? I had some nostalgia for Gran Turismo 3 and got the itch to play one last year, but none of them looked like a Gran Turismo experience similar to what I remembered.
BeamNG looked to get a lot of positive reviews at the time, but I'm not going to buy a steering wheel controller to play a single game. Farthest away I will get from a mouse/keyboard is the Steam controller that I have never used.

Automobilista 2 is the best all rounder with a GT experience. Amazing AI and shines at retro cars and tracks. My personal favorite.
Assetto Corsa is the gold standard but requires mods. AI is ass, so bring friends or find a server. Best sound engine.
Assetto Corsa Competizione is a multi-player only Hyper competitive shitfest.
LMU is a better ACC with amazing physics. AI is apparently very good, haven't tried them yet.
BeamNG has the best crash physics but is more if a sandbox and requires tons of mods. I returned it due to how sandbox it was.
Wreckfest 2 is coming into its own.
Assetto Corsa: Evo is the new hotness but still very early access. Had tons of features like a massive free roam mode that is supposed to be most of Germany from lidar scans. Still no multi-player and AI is ass.
Those are the major ones.

Great, thanks. Ill look into them and hopefully add one to the queue. Automobilista and Wreakfest (maybe) sound promising, both of which I've never seen before.

Really enjoying Mafia 1, it's just a good classic open world game without collecting shit all over the map like modern games.
Not very far in but it's been nice to play so far.

I only flirted with being a console-tard some ages ago, when various roommates and friends were console-tarded (and I could use their systems), now it's PC master race only.

This'd be a good start for an ongoing racing games thread. I don't play them a ton, but got so enamored w/ F1 that I bought a wheel and everything. I even set it up and used it once!

Holy shit this is based
Yeah Mafia 1 feels like the type of game we never really get anymore. Like they created this beautiful open world city but the game never has you simply free roam, you are always doing a mission and the world is simply the backdrop. Now a days every game has to be like GTA but with Mafia 1 they were really doing their own thing and made a very story focused game.

I’ve considered it for nostalgia. The first console and game I bought with my own money as a kid was PS1 and Gran Turismo one. I’d probably play online after finishing all the career stuff.Burren I assumed he wanted it for the career mode, I haven't played gt7 because I don't have a console.
It wouldn't reply quote for some reason.
I don’t have any consoles now and I’d want a wheel and pedals. Seems like a huge commitment for one game.

Damned weak willed nerds, it's all your fault!
www.gamesradar.com
Dragon Age maestro says EA always spoke about a hypothetical 'nerd cave' full of diehard RPG fans who would "always show up," so you "didn't have to try and appeal to them"
Maybe they were right, but they shouldn't have said it
