Wo said posts have to be positive and that I have to like everyone?
It's just my opinion about some of what he wrotes and answered in this thread
(maybe read all the posts in here)
For me it's like he tries to blame someone else for things he couldn't get.
He couldn't drive S1 for long that's bad luck ok but that's life.
I can't count the games I can't play online because no one else plays them or the companies shut the servers down. That's just normal and is not a special fancy by the LFS devs.
I would say:
If you don't like what you get, don't buy it and try to find something better. But I don't think you can find something better then LFS today.
Wow I still got the feeling that you made yourself a lot of real big friends in the community with all your absolute fantastic "non-troll-like" arguments in this thread.
Now every 1 is happy that such a fantastic guy like you is buying an S2 license and they all can't wait to see your phenomenal driving.
We all waited for so long just for a guy like you who opend our eyes and showed us how expensive LFS is and whats wrong with us blind sheeps following scavier and their subtle marketing tricks.
the release date of S2 alpha was:
sat, Jun. 25th, 2005 20:00
and your Join Date shows Apr 2004
So you could play S1 full for almost 14 month. That's a long time in games business if you ask me.
I bought one day the game ONI which was really nice. I only played it through all levels once (think I needed about a week) and now I wanted to play it again but it doesn't run on my 64bit machine and the developers didn't make any patches. To bad I think I paid 40 Euros for it and now its worthless. But hey that's life.
I also bought a 19" CRT monitor for almost 600 Euros. If I want to sell it now I think I will get around 110 Euros on Ebay because of TFT's. That's called progress.
Someone wrote here something really good:
"Just because nobody else plays S1 anymore doesn't mean the software suddenly doesn't work. It only means that people have moved on to something newer and more feature-filled."
tbh i'm really a fan of DTM but what's the difference to the last F1 race. The Lauzitsring was like the last F1 race.
It's a track where it's almost impossible to take someone over except he makes a big mistake (or you bump and pass him like green did to häkkinen). So it wasn't really exciting.
Jamie Green took the pole for the 4th time but he is to nervous to make it throught the first 2 turns etc. The rest wasn't that exciting. Except when Abt lost his tire in the pits the rest was pure pit strategy like in F1 (to bad that Ekström had not enough fuel at the end).
There wasn't much take overs so what was better then then last F1 race (just 4 or 5 people behind each other who are not able to pass each other and in F1 there were 2 who can't pass each other. I don't really see much of a diff. there)
btw the same thing happend to me today (never ever had any LFS problems/crashes) but just got a "lfs exe problem message" and was back on desktop. Unfortunatly it was in the lag lap of a league race so I had no time to do an error report ;-)
I thought I just write it a bit more diplomatic
but your short version says it all
It's often not the race that is boring but the lousy TV Directors/Stations.
And when they show other drivers then the top 2 they make commercial breaks.
but in german TV (I had the feeling that) they showed 90% of the time Alonso or Schumacher. So it was a bit boring to watch sometimes (looks like 2 drivers doing hotlaps for themself)
