HI Abigor, good defense for Milestone and in many ways correct. My beef with RIDE is its quality in 2015, it has the quality of games from the 90's when you look at most of the background, having to use keyboard to navigate the menus, even GP500 back in 1999 was better to navigate with a MOUSE, hello Milestone do you know what a mouse is? OK for consoles use the pad BUT if you make a PC version that is SUPPOSED to support all types of controllers, not all PC user want to use a gamepad and therefore need to be able to use a mouse!!! It is 2015 not 1990!!!

The bikes do look good, but only good, I ran it at its highest quality and still some of the bikes on GPB look as good and some better!!! GPB background is bland but being worked on, Milestone has loads of workers, how many does GPB have?

Physics? What physics, GP500 HAS better physics!!! 16 years old and it is better!!! How can Milestone show its face and call this a sim in any way at all. It has a physics option it calls "realistic" WTF have they ridden for bikes? That manufacturers actually licensed their bikes for this is astounding, I wonder how many will secretly want to shoot whoever allowed it to happen!!! Study closely how the bikes and rider are working in RIDE and you will find something seriously wrong. If anyone plays RIDE and thinks that riding in "realistic" mode is the same as riding in real life and actually try it they are in for one big MF surprise. It is wrong in this period of time to be producing games and classifying them as a sim and in my mind false advertizing!!! Buying RIDE is like buying a tractor and being told it handles like a sportscar, its a lie and I f**king hate lies and liars, its really that simple. Milestone has once again lied as they have before, but this time to a degree that has NO excuse for it apart from they just want your money at any cost. I know, "its just a game" but wrongly advertized and a very poor game apart from pretty pictures and gimmicks 5 year olds want to feel like its REAL. sheeeeeeeeeeeeze!!!!

So sorry guys but this game has really pissed me off!!!. I love GPB and am 100% to support it in any way, but yes its nice to ride in another environment once in a while and RIDE was my hope for it, but once again and to such a high degree, Milestone f**ks everyone over. I am passionate about my sim racing and RIDE just insults me by being offered as a SIM!!! and then not even being a good GAME.

I think I need a dose of GPB to calm me down..................

dont bother to download it Max it is a waste of space you will only un-install it right away

OK so here's my final thoughts on RIDE as unfortunately I am going to HAVE to buy the GAME because I sell motorcycle controllers I have to test them on every game, bummer but thats life.

So I downloaded for the 5th time today the RIDE, hoping an update had been done and to my surprise I got it to run in default graphic settings right away........... only took 5 trys and then tried it in high settings and ran too, so I could do a FPS test..............30FPS max and normal 27, in replay it dropped down to 19 at times!!!. Even with 30FPS it was jumpy and actually hurt my eyes after a while. The bikes and rider are in OK quality but the background is grainy, over colored and plain shit graphics!!!

The handling is the same no matter what setting, very easy or realistic felt the same, there is no sense of speed in it due to the blotchy and stuttering background. When you compare it to how it feels to ride in GPB.......OMFG two different worlds i  shit you not!!!
I spent time running straight into shit to see the rider animation, or lack of it to be precise and the crash action is nearly always the same, NO physics apparent here as the bike and rider just did their routine rolling over shit, they must have practiced it to get it so perfect each time!!! If this is a simulation then I am a virgin..............go ask my kids its true!!!

BUT..............heres the good news....................it aint got shit on GPB in ANY way so another one eats Piboso's dust!!!

I actually feel sorry for the crew at Milestone as I am sure they put a lot into the RIDE, but it dont excuse a piss poor product that does not deliver what is advertized. I watched the reviews on VVV by Alan an I had to shake my head at the realization that people are actually taken in by the words of Milestone that its a simulation and they believe it is.......

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Has the world gone insane? Will I have to suffer hearing people praising this whateva it is game? Somebody pass me a loaded 44 PLEASE!!!

OK got that off me chest so I guess paying £29.99 is not going to kill me but dang I could get a good bottle of Whiskey for that and enjoy myself, but having to play the RIDE will be no fun for me..................

Thats how dedicated I am to making a good controller for you lot, see what I have to suffer for you all...................just kidding but its true, I will NOT enjoy testing my controls on RIDE, such a shame.

DD

Can anyone answer me just one question............................

WHY make a piece of shit like RIDE when even if ALL your other games were bad they were not THIS bad? I mean seriously, look at all the comments here, go onto steam and see the problems people have, I am not the only one that it only ran once then crashed and I downloaded and installed 4 times to make sure it was not ME lol.

WTF WTF WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DD

But the new rider looks like he might have frightened himself in a curve and filled out the back of his suit a wee bit............ well I mean he looks kinda bloated andd not really like a fit rider all the chicks will chase.

Oh you guys mean his actions............I dont watch men to be honest

I think the main issue is to have the virtual rider not upsetting the handling of the bike and if Piboso can do it thats fantastic, I think he has enough to do with physics than play around with a riders bum to make sure it looks better lol.

Keep up the great work Piboso. looking forward to the next beta.

I just watched your video BOBPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP and it was the first time I paid attention to the graphics as I uninstalled mine in disgust.

LOOK at the proportion of the crash barriers to the bike and rider, they are 1990's toooooooo big and the actual graphics look like they were done with a crayon, as dose most of the graphics...........WTF WTF WTF

Is this not 2015 with such sims like Project cars, Assetto Corsa showing us what is possible for graphics at 60FPS..............RIDE looks from the early 90's, framerate is shit and for me it played once then crashed and wont ever see life on my computer again!!!!

I can run PCars and Assetto with ultra settings on my 40inch screen and get 40 plus FPS, the RIDE just jurked around the corners and felt like I was doing all of 50mph!!!!WTF

No other game has made me say WTF so much and I am being frickin polite!!!!!!

All I can say is I hope for Milestone it is just a Steam download error and Demo problem because if the actual GAME is like this it will be a flop to say the least.

Just saying 

DD

Just as well its not on a DVD or it would hurt my bottom!!!!!!!!!!!!

DD

I wasted 48 mins downloading this shite 4 times!!! thank F I gotta superfast internet. I would not wipe my bottom with this!!!!

DD..............just saying kinda sorta

3rd install crashes at loading again!!!!!!!!!!! WTF I can run PCARS at 40 FPS on my 40inch screen in all highest settings from my laptop and thats still in the demo faze!!!!!

This sucks big time typical milestone shite I would say

DD...................not a happy bunny

EDIT...............now it says there is an update for it....................


EDIT..............STILLcrashes at loading screen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

EDIT..........................Re installed, run the redistributable file for 32 and 64 bit from the commonredist folder in the install directory and ran on default settings for graphics no problem.................

Riding feels like your doing an amazing 50mph all the time!!!!!!!!!!!!!WTF

No difference from easy to pro what part of simulation is this? One in how to remove shite from your HD as quickly as possible is the only simulation I got!!!!!!!!!!!WTF

Graphics are jumpy at low settings !!!!!!!!!!!!!WTF

Exit to change video settings and....................................crashes at loading again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WTF

Im getting tired typing WTF so much lol

WTF is this ?

BRB

DD

BACK................ I give up this is shite, not worth farting over, gonna go get a beer  and spend my time positively.

Oh and yes I booted it right off my drive, if I could throw it in the toilet I would................WTF!!!!!!!!!!!

UPDATE.........................

Installed 2nd time................crashed.......................crashed......................crashed....................

all at the very first loading screen................

uninstalling again but forgot to remove the steam folder after 1st uninstall............silly me thats how Milestone stuff works right.............this is normal for a demo to impress new customers to buy a game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

EDIT...........cant find any steam programs or data folders for RIDE??? Oh well 3rd time lucky...........Downloading again!!!

OK   first impressions:


Downloaded and ran for first time.................typical Milestone 1990 stuff, waiting...........waiting............. OK it started at last, oh still have to use the key board to navigate the menus!!!!

So let set up controls.............oh I am not allowed to use any button I want as 3 are dedicated to chat!!!!! so I cant use my normal button for downshift!!! FINE its a demo why let people be able to use a gamepad fully on a demo after all!!!!!!

Supposed to take ANY controller but cant even use all the buttons on a gamepad WTF!!!!!

Okay no problem, lets ride............................

Waiting...........waiting..............waiting.....................oh the game crashed !!!!!WTF

Restart game 1st time...............crashed

2nd time .....................crashed

3rd............4th..............5th...............

Time to uninstall it so cant say much about it until I download again and install, thank god its only 12 mins to download, its 4GB btw

Guess who is NOT impressed so far...............and read my system specs below!!!

Could this be an answer to why GPB bikes in 6 are having problems? If the basics of the beta5 are better Piboso should be told so he can figure out why. i may be a big help for the physics issues as this bike is great to ride.

Great work again to you Franco, love it

DD
