What's the difference between MSFS 2020 players and beta testers?
Beta testers get paid to find game breaking bugs.

Microsoft, if you're gonna treat me like a beta tester, grow a pair and pay me like one. My bank account is always open :)

Seriously, this game can be so fun, and its pure eye candy. I love cruising at 36,000 ft in a jetliner and observing the world below, it relaxes me. However, for every hour of relaxing cruising, there's 3 hours of headaches as you jump through a seemingly infinite amount of hoops trying to avoid a game breaking bug. I should be excited for game updates, yet every time I see an update, I know it means 2 weeks of not being able to play the game until a few hotfixes are rolled out. I feel like I bought an early access game, which is unacceptable at this price point.

The default planes are kind of ass, but the amazing modding community has released a few incredible mods that have saved microsoft's ass. This is my first flight sim since FSX, and I'll continue playing it - but every time I play, I realize how much unrealized potential this game really has.

EDIT: Its been about 7-8 months since I've written the original review, and the game seems to get worse with each update... Latest update to bring "performance increases" actually slashed my fps. Some new (paid) aircraft are being released for this sim, which will make it bearable, but I can't recommend it in its "vanilla" state

club go brrr

WE MULTI CLASS RACING NOW (not in singleplayer)!!!

My god are the GT4's fun. Kunos nailed it, this addon adds so much to the original ACC. All the cars feel unique, and you can really throw em around more. Quality stuff

F1 2020 is the newest game in the annual F1 series by Codemasters. 2020 brings some much needed upgrades to 2019, and is a more polished experience. It comes with a new "create a team" option, and brings back local "split screen" racing, something that has been missing from f1 games since 2013!

I have not driven the game a lot, but the handling seems to have improved. I did not get any of the odd slides that plagued the previous F1 game, and I personally think the cars are a lot more fun to drive this year. F2 is back, but gone are Lukas Weber and Devon Butler, your two career mode rivals. I welcome this change, as Butler annoyingly used my racing number (71). Other than that, f1 2020 is practically a re-skinned 2019, with some quality of life changes, like a customizable HUD and a virtual rear view mirror.

However, there is one big change from 2019, which is the "Create Your Team" mode. In this mode, you are able to become the next Christian Horner, or Toto Wolff, and manage your own F1 Team. This means taking charge of car design, development, sponsor, facilities, teammates and more! Annoyingly, you can't just sit back and be the boss, as you still have to drive the car on the race weekends. Although the "create your team" career mode is a lot of fun and brings a new dimension to the f1 series, I still wish that I could hire two racing drivers, and just focus on managing my team. Maybe next year in F1 2021...

Once again, Codies have released a solid game. There have been a few changes to the irl cars very recently, but I imagine those will get patched in very soon, as codies have been pretty good about that on previous game launches.

Tiddies were TOP TIER. Gameplay was honestly pretty good. I must say I did not look much into the upgrade/shop sytem, because the tiddies were very good. The animations and sound effects get me hard every time. I enjoy the variety of tiddies available in the game. I only played for less than an hour, but I already experienced two different sets of anime tiddies. I like tits. A problem I have with this game is that the dialogue is often quite rapey. It takes away from the immersion.

Its a very cute game. Give it a whirl, it'll put a smile on your face!

TL; DR: Assetto Corsa Competizione is a focused down sequel of the Assetto Corsa, aiming to replicate the various GT3 championships run irl by the SRO. It provides the best GT3 driving in terms of physics and feel, but due to its SRO licensing, it will never have the variety of cars and tracks that Assetto Corsa, RFactor2 and Iracing offer. It is a highly demanding title, and a racing wheel & pedals is definitely recommended to get the most out of this game.

The upsides
- The Cars: Cars from the 2018 and 2019 have been very carefully replicated, with high quality sounds and textures. As seen from any screenshot in game, all the cars look fantastic and are very similar to the real life counterparts

- The Tracks: There are about 10 tracks to select from in game, with more available as DLC. Kunos uses laserscanned data from each track to replicate it in game, so they are extremely accurate.

- The Driving: Assetto Corsa already had a great physics engine, but Kunos has out done themselves with ACC. ACC has the best handling of any driving sim on the market in my opinion

- The Environment: Endurance is a big part of GT3 racing, and ACC does an amazing job in replicating a constantly changing game environment. We finally have wet weather and a day-night transition, two things that were missing from the original AC game.

The downsides
- Multiplayer: Multiplayer is hit and miss. The public servers can be a lot of fun, but due to a slightly dysfunctional "safety rating" system, can be a pain at times. You also need to be careful of dirty drivers, especially in lobbies with 75 SR or lower.

- High PC req's: This game is very demanding, and I've had serious performance issues on a mid ranged PC. I've heard that VR and triple screens are still quite unplayable, even though there is in game support.

- SRO licensing: Because of the SRO licensing, we will only ever get cars and tracks that participate in SRO events. This means no prototypes, no GTE's and worst of all, no nordschliefe. If you want a wider diversity of cars, Assetto Corsa, RFactor2 and Iracing are all better options

Overall
As frustrating as the performance issues and online gameplay can be, I have quite enjoyed ACC, and would recommend it to anyone who is into simracing. However, if you are looking for a more relaxed, open world racing game, I would steer clear.
