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..................

May I suggest if you don't like it and can't understand why anyone would then you don't read the Steam Reviews so far.

People are lapping it up and talking about how good the physics are and that they hope its all implemented into MotoGp15 to make the perfect bike game, and how they have waited all their lives for this to finally become realised as a dream and they can die happy now.

hahaha ok I'm exaggerating a tiny bit, but seriously, if you are passionately disappointed with RIDE stay away from the reviews or your blood pressure will go POP!

All going as predicted. SNAFU.

Is anyone taking the opportunity to tell these milestone "Ride" wolla's on steam that they should take a look at GPBikes if they want a real bike simulator with realistic bike physics? Might be a good chance not only to spread the word but to also steal some custom from milestone as I'm sure 99% of people who would buy GPB don't even realise it's here!!

YES Gpbikes is a simulation RIDE...NO! Is only a shitty arcade game, if you are not able to recognize the difference is your problem not of gpbikes.

[BOBR6 84]

Yeah I did hawk!! Pointed out that it won't be simulation.. After reading a few wishes from people whilst I was waiting for the demo.

I said if u want simulation download gpbikes

Sadly, some if not most people only want ''pick up and play'' and if u mention simulation u just get slapped with ignorance.

Yeah, well that's just your opinion man. (Big Lebowski) 

[FastFreddy]

Opinions.. Lol.. no no.. physics are not an opinion, is math

Don't do it. Don't.

I think I tried once a long ago (can't even remember what game was), in a very very polite and gentle manner (I swear), saying that GPB had better physics.
The reactions have been ... how to phrase that ...  the kind of reactions you expect from a 14yrs old girl when you tell her J.Bieber is not a musician.

They ranged from (I summarize) "You know jackshit about bikes" to "It's unfair to promote GPB on the forum dedicated to MotoGP", with a wide range of colorful insults in the middle, plus some hilarious blabbing about physics by people that struggle to grasp the conceptually challenging difference between torque and power ...

Juts don't do it.

I'll still wait for the full version of RIDE, maybe it's just the demo that is shitty, but from comments of people I trust, even graphically, it's not that good.

But anyway, you don't allow me to reassign the controls, I don't buy your game. No matter what. That's not negotiable. Not even if your game involves porn.
It's ideologically insulting and plain stupid. It's a 10 minutes coding job.
The moron who greenlighted that decision (assuming there's one) should be given a free one-way ticket to North Korea.

P.S.
@Abigor: +10 for quoting his Dudeness !

I left a review there Hawk but didn't mention GpBikes I regret to say. 

The truth is I'm a bit scared to.

I sure hope I don't sound like a bigot but I'm the first to say "Each to his own" or "some will love it and some will hate it que sara sara" and all that but I'm scared something as beautiful as GpBikes will be inundated with people who will give it a try, go "bah its too hard" and slag it off all over the place.

Maybe I wouldn't of been scared if I hadn't seen it happen to ARMA (Combat SIMULATOR) when it was introduced to Steam. I fear for iRacing (now on Steam) too.

The truth is a lot of people want a game they can pick up, do a few laps, win some races and feel good.  Ride will fill that gap. For the rest of us we are in a desperate search for a game like reality, difficult and satisfying. Maybe I will pop back in a minute and say "All those who hate Ride get GpB! All those who love Ride look over there - boobies!"

Bob and DD summed up my personal feelings - 15 years on and where are the bike games that have moved on since SBK2001? I'm hoping its GpB but I can't wait another 15 years or even 5. I'm getting old already

Hey Napalm, my blood pressures great buddy, I'm loving the RIDE shit, it only goes to prove that GPB is king of the hill baby!!!

I saw you on the forum BOBPPPPPPPPP just before you downloaded it lol. Could have warned you but I thought I would be mean and let you try it hahahaha...............just jokin buddy, I think everyone SHOULD try it, that way who gives a flying shit how much people say its good, those who have a brain will know its shite.

I KNOW Milestone will make a killing on RIDE, thats why they do it, look at Assetto Corsa, £10 more and you get REAL simulation physics, REAL great graphics, a perfect menu system, controller compatibility and customization, exactly the program advertized, AND, AND, AND!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS is why I am angry with Milestone, they KNOW they can get away with lies and a poor game because they have done for years and have no competition from major software houses!!!!!!!!!!! Thats the lowdown of the situation, they sell a piss poor product because they can!!! The bike gaming population is blinded by words like "LICENSED" and "SIMULATION" when all they are is marketing words because the product does not deliver what it promises. I wonder if it would be illegal to in fact sell a product stating it is something it is not? Because that is what Milestone has done. I consider it an outright lie to the public. They know they will make millions selling a shit game and get away with it, how much did they spend compared to Assetto and Project cars that really deliver quality sims for £10 more!!!! Milestone are just software swindlers, selling low cost products in the same category as high end simulations!!!

Napalm my blood pressure is good, I am loving saying it as it is. Its time people realized that Milestone COULD have made RIDE sooooooooooo much better, but why spend all the money to do so when they can get the same profit for a shit game for a tenth of the cost!!!

As was said earlier in the thread, this is the ideal time to spread the word about GPB as even if many like RIDE, sooooooooo many will also hate it and be looking for a real bike sim..........TADA..GPB!!!!!!!!

I for one shall set forth into the fray and battle the evil overlords of RIDE, with nothing more than my words of wisdom for the poor uneducated folks of the kingdom shall  I do battle against this mythical giant called the "Milestone". Even as it tries to seduce me with its lies of licenses and simulation, I will not falter from my quest. I will shed the blood of a thousand RIDERS for every GPB brother bitten by the poison of the Milestone and though I ride through the racetrack of death I shall fear no evil for I ride in GP Bikes and have no fear of real speed!!!

OMG Father DD, that was beautiful.
