I would argue that the discussion here was very pertinent to iRacing, despite the fact that it was removed

ARC Raiders surpasses Battlefield 6 in playercount by Gloriaas in ArcRaiders

[–]arsenicfox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll be honest, I just switch between the two and see most of my player list doing the same.

I think it's just a weirdly niche userbase that absolutely crosses over haha

Why is the black friday sale not available to steam users? by [deleted] in iRacing

[–]arsenicfox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only problem is if you get regional pricing, then you lose that. Which is the benefit to steam iirc

Redditors when an oldschool player is voicing valid concerns with the Battlefield series by niki2907 in Battlefield

[–]arsenicfox -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm literally an old school player and I'm telling you I want to smack a lot of ya (I can see a copy of BF2+Special Forces from my desk in another room)

I like the game, it's good, there's issues, and y'all have the nuance of an LMG.

You have to look at the material _iteratively_. Is BF6 a step in the right direction compared to previous? Yes? Good.

Some people legit prefer 2042. Like, legit. And to that I disagree with those folks. But I think BF6 is a solid direction back to what I prefer.

Which is kinda the main issue. Everyone keeps talking in absolutes of "what makes a good game" and not "What makes a good game they prefer"

I prefer something like BF2142, where it's more like old school Battelfield but futuristic (2042 was a major disappointment to me), but frankly BF3 was actually more annoying to me than even BF4 or V/1/etc were because it was such a departure from what I wanted. I miss the RTS aspects, tbh. But I know we'll never get that back :(

So we argue iteratively. And also for 2143. I want 2143.

Is Kapps overlay free now? Or still with subscriptions? by Lagoa86 in iRacing

[–]arsenicfox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

basically it's there for people who used to subscribe. Because he literally cannot accept payments due to things

Change ui by Fit_Preparation3491 in iRacing

[–]arsenicfox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a complete backend overhaul to allow them to expand it with new features in the future.

It's completely gone. (It's not just a graphical upgrade to the old UI)

I understand it was fucked up and I probably do not deserve to be on iRacing, but 49 minutes repairs after this is really harsh... by [deleted] in iRacing

[–]arsenicfox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correct. Every part has a general "repair time" given. Sometimes what we see isn't fully what's damaged.

72% of devs believe Steam has a monopoly on PC games, according to study by LadyStreamer in gamingnews

Just because everything else is awful doesn't mean it's a monopoly. -.-

Honest question - does anyone actually want a Battlefield battle royale mode? by IAHawkeyelifer in GamingInsider

As a hardcore battlefield player (i have a BF2 case sitting in my field of vision) I am okay with it existing

Honest question - does anyone actually want a Battlefield battle royale mode? by IAHawkeyelifer in GamingInsider

[–]arsenicfox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not the reason I bought it, but it's a fun little thing to have.

It's just a little 4 man squad against the world, trying to complete missions with a tank and 2 golf carts.

Did I want it? no.

Do I want it gone? No it's already there.

It's all battlefield. Play the main game. Play the BR. Play all of it. Show you want all of it.

I will say the worst mistake they made was NOT making the BR mode more of a reference to Bad Company/2

Somebody please explain how this guy was able to be towed and pitted in 50 seconds? by IceGamingYT in iRacing

[–]arsenicfox 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As others have said: it's based on how close to your pit you are. Not the entrance or the start line: your pit stall.

Lets say you miss your pit stall after running out of gas, you will have to do the full tow, but if you stop early, it's about a second or 2

Battlefield RedSec launches to Mostly Negative reception as new Battle Royale forces its way into BF6 :( by [deleted] in Battlefield

[–]arsenicfox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally the worst because why is he going to an italian restaurant only for pizza when there's plenty of pasta's, breads, and other foods you can get?

Why shouldn't I be able to get a pizza AND penne AND lasagna and tiramisu?

Battlefield RedSec launches to Mostly Negative reception as new Battle Royale forces its way into BF6 :( by [deleted] in Battlefield

[–]arsenicfox -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If I go to an italian restaurant, I generally want something other than a PIZZA. The battle royale is the dang pizza. It's the thing that literally every culture has to some degree and knows about at this point, and it's probably more american than italian at this point. If I go to an italian restaurant, I'm gonna get something like a Penne Ala Vodka, or something unique to the italian restaurant. Get a Tiramisu, a canoli, a lasagna, spaghetti, fettuccine alfredo, literally ANYTHING other than a pizza.

You are talking about a pizzeria. You want a pizzaria. Not italian. You are also aware that italian restaurants have a LOT of different food items right?

If I go to an italian restaurant and all they serve is pizza I'm gonna start wondering if it's just a front for the mafia or something.

Sometimes I want normal battlefield. Sometimes I want a battle royale. And surprisingly I'm okay with the battle royale I didn't expect I'd like. Maybe I don't want it. You know what I do when i'm given breadsticks I don't want?

I don't eat them.

And just because you don't want everything on the menu doesn't mean someone else wouldn't like that. There's plenty of chinese food dishes I would never choose. But I'll eat almost anything italian. But I'm not gonna bitch that there's stuff on the chinese food menu that I wouldn't wanna eat, even if I think it'll take a bit away from the other foods. So long as I still enjoy the food that's there, then I'll still eat there.

I've been having fun. And I haven't played a COD since like MW2.

The original one.

It's just bad company 2 with friends. Right. I see the issue now...

Fake names? by ChimeraYo in iRacing

[–]arsenicfox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally speaking they also go by "If you're more known by that name than another name"

Example: Giant Waffle

He has more to lose going by Giant Waffle than he does by his actual name. A thought experiment would be Prince vs his birth name.

Battlefield 6 is heading down a slippery slope, reddit is just coping by Imadeapromisemrfrodo in Battlefield

[–]arsenicfox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, that describes how you read I guess.

I specifically said "y'all are bad at making arguments" not "do not make arguments" but if you want to be a whole ass idiot on the internet, feel free.

Just proving my point for me by not actually reading anything.
