User blog:HV2308/ 'A complaint is someone giving you a second chance'

There an interesting saying: someone posting a complaint, is in fact someone giving you a second chance. A chance to correct what in his opinion (or her opinion - assuming there are female RR3 racers?) should be put right.

I estimate 75% of the comments on this RR3 Wiki are complaints. Mainly that the greedy FireMonkeys (the common enemy) are increasingly forcing players to spend gold. Then there are complaints the game is not working properly (and yes, you'd think FM would test a release properly before going live). People who are cheating less are complaining about people cheating much more (yes, it does seem rather strange FM don't seem at all bothered to crack down on this). And there's people complaining about races not being doable (this is very often down to impatience or lack of skill. When things don't work out as planned, blame someone else immediately)

Yet in spite of everything that's wrong with it, and irritating and downright frustrating and annoying, it's still a great game. Great circuits, great cars and (apart from the Multiplayer challenge) realistic racing and great graphics.

Having (virtually) raced famous tracks, makes watching motorsport on those tracks better too. You know where the cars are, what's coming up, the difficulties ...

The obsession of with wanting more and more (more cars, more gold, winning more challenges ... ), maybe even wanting it all (100% completion, a full garage ...) can make that we forget two simple things:

'''1. Nobody is forcing you to play. '''You play whenever you want. You can stop playing whenever you want. You can even quit the game altogether.

You'd almost forget it's a free game.

2. You can play for fun, without having to have it all. If you really want a car, or really want to achieve a goal: go fit it by all means. Remember it's your own choice and there are plenty of alternatives. If you don't want to spend gold: don't spend it. If you haven't got time to put in the necessary hours to pass a Challenge: just skip it. If a car is crap: don't buy it.

One saying at the start of this blog leads to another saying at the end of it: why not try to enjoy what you have, instead of complaining about what's not there?
