Ranked in these QuestionsQuestion Ranking
Pros
Pro Tense atmosphere
The game features many claustrophobic corridors, unnerving sound design, moody lighting and creepy enemies that seemingly appear from nowhere. Put together these elements create a lots of tension and a sense of unease.
Pro Unlimited replayability
Once the subscription is paid there is no set path for the user. Everything is open to the player meaning they can choose what to do and where to go. This makes for a completely open-ended title that allows for a fresh experience anytime the player wants.
Pro Unique community rules
There is an actual sanctioning body for the game called FIRST that keeps players in line making for a non toxic community that behaves professionally. If a player races aggressively or continually breaks the rules of the rod their license will receive infractions that will soon label that person as one to stay away from.
Cons
Con VR development was dropped by ZeniMax midway through
Due to disagreements between ZeniMax and Oculus, development of Doom 3 BFG VR was dropped. There are a few community attempts to finish VR support including one by an Oculus developer Samson and another by reddit user mscoder610.
Con Expensive as it requires a subscription plus additional costs
iRacing requires a subscription that starts at $6/mo. as well as has costs for extra cars and tracks. Overall an expensive game to play for those that want to experience all of the content on offer.
Con Difficult to play with a gamepad
The controls for the game are very precise and in being so is best played with a driving wheel with petals and a shifter. Trying to play with a gamepad does work but will really inhibit the players controls especially if they are competing in online races.
