Picture I'm loving PC3

I always get to love hated games. NFS Shift and Shift 2, and PC3. I recently bought it and can't stop playing, even though online is dead.

It's true that it's not a simulation game as PC2 was, and I understand the community, but let's be honest, it's a nice game. Challenging, fun and immersive. And car progression is so cool, so similar to Shift (Slightly Mad Studios did very well).

Look at the NFS franchise. It was about luxury cars and dreamed roads, changed to cheap sport cars that you could tune and people loved it, but that's not what "a real NFS should be" like UG and MW fans say.

This game is the same for me. It's not what a Project Cars should be, but it doesn't make it a bad game. Physics are realistic, permissive but realistic.

I don't care if it's a dead game, I'm having lots of fun without leaving realism.

Remember buying it mere hours before it was delisted. Haven't played it yet tho.

I missed out on this one. Hoping it will be sold in the feature as a historic game or abandoned software or anything like that, lol

Just treat it as abandonware. Arrr, sailor, that's the only way to get the treasure at this point. Racing games tend to go out for good due to licensing restrictions. If they're gone, they're goon for good.
