NEW to MX Sim (looking to purchase)...Advice required
Posted: Mon Jan 03, 2022 6:44 pm
Hey all!,
Okay, i'll get right to the point...
I am literally a few weeks 'noob' (i hate that term tbh) in terms of motocross/sx games in general; although i have played the MotoGP series (albeit a different style of riding/game).
Anyway, my forte has always been simulation racing, i.e. iRacing, Assetto Corsa, rF2 etc etc - But i decided a week or so ago to purchase some of the MXGP games from Milestone. I liked them so much and have been playing them quite frequently, however i was looking for something 'sim' based and found 2 options...MX BIkes & MX Simulator.
Given the aesthetic looks of both games, i decided to go for MX Bikes first. I have been playing that for exactly 48.6hrs (according to Steam) - I have managed to pick it up pretty quickly with the help of tutorial/setup videos from mainly 'Lynds' (YouTube). I quite happy to say that i am becoming quite competent at the sim now, with even having podiums (and within top 5 lap times) but, for some odd reason, MX Simulator is drawing me in...there's something here :/.
So, i downloaded the demo and immediately after turning off the arcade mode, the bike was un-rideable...
However, with the assistance of YouTube videos, i am now able to ride somewhat pretty good, but i'm having trouble with keeping the front end from dipping after leaving the jump face...
I know about leaning and throttle control and have had some success but, for the most part, it's quite a balancing act! .
But i'm digressing here...
So, the question is, should i go ahead and purchase the full game?
I have heard/read that the demo doesn't really reflect the quality of the game in both graphics and physics - Whether this is true i would certainly like to know .
So, is it worth me purchasing this game or 'sim'? - I have also heard the game is 'dying' and many have migrated onto MX Bikes???
Again...i do not know how true this is so essentially, that is one of the reasons i've made an account here on the forums for assistance.
One last thing...
Why is it that most users of both MX Bikes and MX Sim; If you ask a question or ask for other various details, it's literally like getting blood from a stone! - What's with all the ignorance and secrecy??? - I have asked questions in MX Bikes and no one answers; I've asked Spencer Turley and others on MX Sim and i have the same responses...NONE!.
Sorry for the essay guys!
Hope you can help me out please...THX
