I have hardly had any positive experience playing this game at all. Playing on the Rift S I have controls reset on me everytime I launch, issues with the game hanging randomly, and just all around poor performance for whatever reason.

The game also looks like crap even on the max settings due to it being essentially downgraded to work with the Quest 2 for crossplay, which makes finding players easier, but makes the game worse with graphics and bugs.

Also seems to be mostly children with a Quest 2 and not really contribituing much besides random nonsense in chat. On the RARE occasion I find a decent group to play coop with and the game works right it's an immersive, fun time but that's about once every couple dozen attempts at trying this thing.

Stay away unless it's like mega cheap.

I don't think there is much to be said that hasn't already been said but this is by far the best game to boot up and do a few hauls while listening to podcasts, music, or whatever. I tend to play this while catching up with friends on discord or even just to relax in the evening before bed. DLC's are well worth it and make the game experience much better.

Steering Wheel = Must have
Track IR(or similar alternative) = Amazing
Wheel + VR = Total Immersion

By far the best bowling experience you can get on a PC.

This is the closet thing to real bowling I've done. Both the VR and standard modes are brilliant. The physics and pin action are as close to real as you can get. The oil patterns break down over the course of a series and games and you'll get nowhere if you don't adjust on the fly. If you don't like bowling in a competitive or somewhat serious manner you likely won't enjoy this since it's quite literally just bowling. However if you have or had a passion for bowling and have spent a large portion of your life watching or competing in bowling in some way or another you will absolutely love this.

Price does seem maybe a tad steep for overall amount of content but if you have the ability to play it in VR it is immediately worth it,

In classic Bethesda fashion, this game is both one of the best games I've played, and also one of my most frustrating gaming experiences.

The GOTY edition with all the DLC is a fantastic experience that will take you dozens or hundreds of hours to fully experience. The story is fairly bland but the game makes up for that with fairly lovable characters and a unique enviroment to explore. Overall it is a great RPG experience with a good perk chart/system and satisfying combat.

The game truly shines with mods. The community behind this game is simply amazing with the content they have created. Want Ranger armor from New Vegas? Check. Want your settlers to build all your buildings for you and collect resources so you can focus on the rest of the game? Check. Want to add dozens of character customization options? You bet. By itself the game is just good. However, once you add mods, it's great.

Simply put, I would highly recommend this to anyone, regardless if you've played previous fallout titles. Is it as good as 3 or New Vegas? Not at all. Is it a great game in its own right that still deserves your attention? Yes!

Most of the negative reviews for this game are true, there are problems with the PC version, however it seems as if most of them have been worked out over the last few weeks. The singleplayer is the main draw for the game, and it is by far the best experience you'll have in a long time. It's long, very long, and slow, but one of the best stories to come from a game, and the amount of content will keep you busy for hours. It does have some optimization issues so unless you have a somewhat beefy PC i'd wait for a sale or for patches.

The online has potential but is a buggy mess full of errors and random drops from lobbies. It is fun to hunt around with some friends or cause havoc in towns but gets kind of stale without grinding out the missions for hours on end with little to no progress.

TLDR: Buy it for singleplayer, not for online. Best singleplayer experience of the decade IMO.

This is a huge improvement over the previous game. The AI are aggressive, but not too aggresive, the tracks look good day and night, and the inclusion of xfinity and camping world trucks is a nice bonus. So far I've raced a couple different races with all 3 stages and the AI race harder at the end of a stage and on the last couple laps. Have not tried career yet but it looks promising.

Wheel support is there, and its good. I have a G29 w/ shifter and it works like a charm after running the config tool. It does take some time to get it how you want it as I have not quite got it set up how I need it yet. Feedback feels good and there are options for deadzones and sensitivites in the config.

Overall if you're a Nascar fan this game will do you well even if it is an arcade style game. I love sim racing but I will have plenty of fun with this. Is it worth $50? I say yes if you love the sport and plan to race career or at least online with a buddy. Otherwise wait for a sale.

Best part was when I made it through the first cutscene without a game crash. Just for my game to crash after that scene. GG

Played this game when it first came out a couple years ago. Forgot about it. Came back and my character has a dong just hanging there staring into my soul.

10/10

As much as I would like to reccomend this game to anyone looking for a very nice tactical FPS that requires teamwork and communication I can't. I keep waiting for Ubisoft to fix it, but nothing happens. Just mindless patches that sort of fix certain things and break more things. While the game has some amazing features and one of the best gameplay experiences I've had in a while, it is all broken by things like Matchmaking. It takes around 10 minutes to find each match if your playing late at night and around 5 during the day. Once you do find a match, it's always level 10-40 players vs. level 90-120 players who have Diamond/Gold ranks. (Also, Ranked is broken w/ same issues). You will get destroyed by high level players all day and it's been like this since day 1. Hit detection seems non-existent and players seem to always be moving or looking in a direction they really aren't. It's a mess. Everyone complains and typical Ubi does nothing.

EDIT:

It seems as if in my case after the last few weeks, UBI has actually fixed some issues. The matchmaking is tons better recently, and the connection issues I've had since launch are way fewer and farther in between. I think now this game is probably playable and now that the price has dropped some, it may be worth it.

I don't think I have ever played a game for that little amount of time, and felt more compassion for the character than most other games I've played. This will make you have flashbacks to high school.
