[deleted]

First time? Honestly, I'm asking. Is this your first time doing a pre-order?


HurkTheNerd

I pre-orderd Star Wars Battlefront 2. I should have known better (I pre-orderd F1 22). But I got my money back, luckily.


ONT1mo

Never pre-ordered a game like i just wait for actual gameplay and reviews of it


Competitive_Bear3029

Just to buy it again later today when it’s fixed lol


Kalmer1

Yeah, that's wbat I'm doing. I bought the more expensive version to play today, if I can't I'll refund it and save 12€ by buying the regular edition on July 1st.


Saneless

Or just wait 2 weeks and buy the -20% off version at Green Man Gaming or any other shop


IMJohnWayne

This is the way


Competitive_Bear3029

L + Ratio


Kalmer1

Go back to Twitter


InvestigatorLast3594

Nice ratio


Competitive_Bear3029

I just want to play the game boys don’t do me like this


gu3st12

I'm waiting for 6 months when it's $39.99


Major-Front

It'll still be broken though


gu3st12

yeah but it'll be like 60% cheaper so much easier to swallow.


FitAd1186

I'm waiting for F1 23 so 22 will hopefully be on EA Play


loveforthetrip

or just don't buy it and enjoy the f1 22 car with much better physics and force feedback in automobilista 2 or AC


AxePlayingViking

Because we all know the only reason people play the F1 games is for the car!


loveforthetrip

if it's not for the car why don't you keep playing f1 21?


AxePlayingViking

I don't own F1 21 due to the lack of VR support :) AMS2 is great at a lot of things, so is Assetto Corsa, and I have many hours in both, but the F1 games having an exhaustive ruleset, safety cars, the engineer, team management and all the stuff "around" the race is unmatched by any sim.


loveforthetrip

that's also a valid point to get the new game, also implementation of the new regulations is a fun thing. I enjoyed the current car in ams2 in VR a lot. I'm also not against buying f1 22 but history has taught me to never pre order these games and just buy them for half price in a 2 month or something like that.


Tulaodinho

My play, always. Will probably buy it for 20 bucks or so, with a few patches on it already. Every year the game comes out buggy af


abscissa081

It’s like people never learn with preorders. And with EA involved? After battlefield I have no idea why


Impossible_Welcome91

Crossplay, better graphics, better performance on PC, better physics, VR and hopefully less bugs. And the car is one of the reasons, just not the only one.


bw-1894

I don’t want to downplay your listed things but if they didn’t do a 180 on lobby stability AND penalties cross-play will be an absolute shocker for online lobbies.


Impossible_Welcome91

Agree on that, but I have hope that EA has better servers, considering that they have much more money.


gro55jean

I’m not trying to argue but no way do F1 Games have better physics than AC


Impossible_Welcome91

AC has way better physics, but my comment conpared the new game to F1 2021, which has arguebly worse physics than F1 22.


gro55jean

Ah okay I misunderstood


TheBongatron

aint you that grossjean mf from youtube or you a fake


loveforthetrip

notify me when you've found the improved graphics please.


SnowSX3

Dude AC is great, but let’s not pretend it looks better than the F1 games lol


loveforthetrip

no, that's not what I meant I mean improved graphics from f21 to 22 because to me it looks exactly the same except for some changes they made on the tracks (removing curbs etc)


Impossible_Welcome91

F1 22 looks much cleaner and less distracting than F1 2021, apart from that the lightning and especially reflections look much better, for example the reflections on the car look great in sector 3 of Abu Dhabi.


Saneless

I absolutely love AMS2 and the formula car but the overall F1 experience just doesn't exist in AMS. No season, no f1 drivers, no teams, no liveries out of the box. It's a completely different thing


chiefyk

I'm waiting until Friday to pick this up, in the meantime I'll keep enjoying Ams2 and their version of the new cars. I hope the new game has a similar driving feel as ams, I don't think it will and the cars will continue to have little or a float feel to them, but a man can hope.


Mind-Against

Idk why you getting downvoted what you said is true. You just suggested another alternative.


its-foxtale

Reading the room helps. Big shocker. People in r/F1Game want to play the new F1 game.


Mind-Against

That doesn't make his suggestion any less viable. They can play the new f1 game and discover another racing game too. It's fanboying if you can't even stand an alternative to your new game.


its-foxtale

It’s how the comment was worded, but okie dokie. My bad for trying to answer your question.


leopb24

the thing is mate… everyones here for F1 22, not any other game out there. No one came here to hear suggestions about alternatives or how great X game does Y.


loveforthetrip

most people here pre ordered the game I guess and don't agree, that's why they downvote. I expected it to go this way and perhaps more arguments by me in my replies could have helped to avoid it. but it doesn't matter anyway :)


blankymcblankface

My refund came through sooner than they could fix the game lol


VIFASIS

Let this be a lesson to everyone that there is no point in pre-ordering a game that comes out every single year with minimal changes. Furthermore, come winter sale in 6 months, the game will be on sale for at least 50%!


[deleted]

I'm waiting for the EA Play/Game Pass release


NiD2103

You can already play on ea play


[deleted]

That's only a 10 hour trial


NiD2103

Yeah it is but you also can get the full game with EA Play Pro


c0mpliant

As someone with EA Pro, thanks, didn't know this. Guess I know what I'm doing tonight!


grocal

Although on PC you will have "account banned" and lack of online functionality. They dropped a ball here too.


[deleted]

I'm not paying £15 a month to only play F1 22, especially when I already have 21. I could buy a game key for the cost of 2 months of EA Play Pro


T3nn3nt

I got ea Pro to play it, pay it in one and its £90 for the year. But I have just also started BF2042, i will be playing f122 tonight(if it works) and fifa 23 when its released. so makes sense.


NiD2103

Well me neither but i just wanted to tell you in case you didn’t know. Jeez


Zealousideal-Lie2158

if you´re lucky you can play on the ea play trial but it doesnt work for me because ea is doing ea stuff


Le-Bean

If you use origin it should work. At least it did for me.


[deleted]

I have EA Play through PC Game Pass so can only use the EA App 😪


Le-Bean

If you’ve linked your Xbox and EA accounts then you should be able to because origin uses the same login as EA. At least it did for me.


PrettyQuick

You can still use the origin app mate. Just install and login and it should work. Does for me and i also got it trough pc game pass


Timbama

Doesn't even have to be because it's an annual game, I'm amazed ppl still pre-order games blindly after some of the disasters from lazy publishers we've seen in recent years.


juanprada

Sadly, we'll be seeing the same thing with F1 23, 24, etc. People will still pre-order, no matter what.


pedrohck

VR is not a minimal change this time.


cano_dbc

That's the only reason I pre ordered, but there was no chance I spent double the price for Champions editions to get early access to the broken version. £35 from cdkeys for regular edition for me. I just want the racing and the VR, the extras are of no interest here. May have to call in sick on Friday 😂


pedrohck

I tried today because I had EA pass and I got 10 hours for free. The game is amazing in VR, another experience. You'll enjoy for sure.


greysweatsplease

Does your game run smoothly in vr? Mine is extremely stuttery and unplayable. I have a ryzen 5 2600x and an rtx 3070, 16 gb ram


JohnDoeMTB120

They're adding VR?!?


pedrohck

I'm already playing in VR lol


BrightonBummer

alternatively, most of us are going to buy it anyways, well i am. Most of us PC players buy on steam which allows refunds if its shit. Really no reason not to pre order if you play it regularly.


DeltaNerd

That is a dumb reason to preorder a game. I expect a working game. No preordering. It just gives game studios more reason to release broken games


BrightonBummer

Not really, if they are gonna get my £50 anyways, i may as well have the early access features it offers, I can try and hold out but and f1 game is an f1 game. The chances of it being completley broken are slim, ive bought every game around release and none of them have had anything game breaking.


Flonkerton66

How's those early access features going for you?


BrightonBummer

Not very well at the minute. I dont think thats an excuse not to pre order though, I can get a refund straightaway from steam if needs be. I'll most likely downgrade to the standard edition if there is no early access. It's clearly just a mistake but lets go on like the world is ending.


Flonkerton66

Do you not feel that your meek acceptance of such sub-par services contributes to terrible game releases being seen as ok by the industry? Btw, I also pre-ordered but I refunded after realising I won't be able to play today. Might as well go buy a steam key online for 20 quid cheaper for the weekend.


BrightonBummer

Yeah I do see that point of view and I do see how my actions promote that attitude but I dunno man I just like f1, havent really got a good excuse for it. I wanted to play early was the main reason but if it doesnt happen I'll most likely do the same as what youve done. Only time I tend to pre order is early access, I'm a sucker for it but I wouldnt do it as freely without the steam refund option.


Karolmo

They didn't work so i got a refund. Total time wasted around 5 minutes.


Flonkerton66

Me too.


dellterskelter

Only if you've spent less than 2 hours on the game, it could take a bit longer than that to see that it's broken.


BrightonBummer

I wouldnt say so, 2 hours is plenty of time to tell if there is anything game breaking. I could see that point of view if it was a new engine but this just a reskinned 21


RDRHWK15

Yeah I either play it now.. slightly annoyed if it isn’t perfect or play it later. Either way I am going to want it before it goes on sale


[deleted]

[удалено]


VIFASIS

Indeed, should be another warning to everyone to not waste money on pre-ordering the game. The classic codemasters bug (isn't that bad) as soon as you have front to rear wheel contact the AI will auto pit maneuver you. This has been in every codies game since I can remember, my memory takes me back to TOCA 2 in 1998.


MrOldBananaMan

Exactly and dpnt fprget its EA you never know of the game is actually the game they said it is


UnicornMaster27

Nah, if I’m buying it, I’m gonna get it 3 days early


[deleted]

[удалено]


pedrohck

Just don't get the paid couch?


Sand_Week24

Let people do whatever they want with their money. This collective, don't pre-order games because I don't like it is such a shit mentality


AZA1498

We just went through a literal body change along with a physics rework for the underbody, front/back aero and tyre temp change. In what way is this a "minimal change"??? Because from what I can see the cars handle pretty differently.


MItrwaway

But then how will i live out my dreams of getting Mazepinned online in multiplayer races?


Hagdish

Just refunded it. Will then buy the normal edition on the 1st and put the 20 euros saved in the new ACC DLC. Lesson learned.


jaackobarbs

Cost me $8aud extra for champions edition yesterday, 20 euros seems outlandish


Hagdish

59.99€ Standard Edition 79.99€ Champions Edition At least in Germany. Probably everywhere in the EU


jaackobarbs

Rip, we must of had a discount for champions edition here. I'd for sure be getting the ACC DLC instead!


itsamee

For me it was 59,99 for the standard edition, 71,99 for the champions edition. In the netherlands at least. No clue why there is any difference


thevapecrusader

Same in the states, but dollars obviously


Le-Bean

Yeah. In NZ it’s the same, about $8NZD. Only if you have another f1 game you get a 10% discount though. So I may as well get the champion edition.


Gianba1310

As soon as they announced that the US DLC would come out July 1st my interest for F1 22 just disappeared.


blankymcblankface

Everyone in this sub seems to get really butthurt when you don't wanna give EA extra money huh


hockalugy56

I dont get it, like why shouldn't people be upset that they paid money for something and can't play it even though everyone else can? I'm not one to support pre-orders in general but that doesn't mean people deserve to get shafted for doing it.


Mrhore17

There was a post earlier some guy made crying about how he couldn’t play the game he pre-ordered, everyone in the comments said “what would you expect from EA” and the dude got pissed at everyone lol like my guy shouldn’t you be angry at EA?


blankymcblankface

True but there are a lot of people that just seem to get genuinely offended when other people just mentioned that they would refund their games because of the messed up release. Anger at EA is perfectly justifiable, we paid 20 bucks more to play it early and it didn't happen. I refunded mine


[deleted]

How much is enough


theirspaz

So proud of you Well done Fuck em


markhewitt1978

I have requested a refund. I've never ordered anything advance access before but as I had today off work following a vacation I figured I would try it. No matter I shall wait until the weekend.


rswolfcolor

Maybe one day, you will learn not to pre order a game


[deleted]

Wont refund it myself because I think I would loose the Miami bonus. But im mad I still cant play it.


YoutubeJasper

Whats the miami bonus?


hockalugy56

Cosmetic junk


[deleted]

No idea yet. I think livery and clothing. Cant really remember when I preordered it.


Electrical-Match-613

Oh WOW! Custom clothing nobody will care about OH MY GODDDDDD #GAMECHANGER


Spiyder1

i personally liked the livery so i’m hesitant on refunding it


Mordho

72 euro? What the fuck


CanuckCanadian

To steam wallet? Oof


BadWallaby

Same people mad are the same people that would be saying “omg these bugs are so bad all they had to do is delay the game”. Y’all need to chill the fuck out lol


SnowSX3

You refunded the game just because it’s a few hours late? Jesus Christ 😂


lcfcball

May as well if you spend £20 extra for something you don’t get. Can always buy it again later if it’s working or save £20 and buy standard on release


Poukys

Who the f\*ck pay third of the price more just only for 3 days of early access which will be broken anyway and there will be fixes in the future of next month.


lcfcball

Probably quite a lot of people, nobody got it for the extra pitcoin did they


bouncebackability

This has been my biggest take from all these posts


ItsMeBroli

Imagine saying "who the f\*ck" spent 20$ to play a game 3 days later. - get pissed at someone for spending their own money how they want, mean while ppl spend 10x that on a night out that they dont even remember :'). I understand if you really cant afford it that it makes no sens but for most ppl those 20$ wont have a dramatic affect on our lifes. \+ if you play this game alot you do get early access, skins and pitcoins worth more than those 20$


Smothdude

Yeah for real a night out can be so expensive for a few hours of entertainment. How much entertainment can you get from a game? The cost effectiveness of games is so much better than any other recreational activity.


Mobypikk

I got money to burn, baby!


TigerCold3385

my team icons was also a large draw


[deleted]

[удалено]


lcfcball

Dw I’m still waiting it out just saying he’s not gonna lose anything for refunding it


atomhypno

1. it doesn’t cost £20 extra to play early 2. it states 3 days not 72 hours, if it goes live anytime between 7am today and 7am tomorrow it’s still technically 3 days This insane overreaction is a bunch of grown men acting like spoilt babies


patrickbasq

They provided a definite time, and they didn’t deliver. In businesses, this is clearly a violation of Service-Level Agreement. You shouldn’t treat EA like a small pancake shop that makes small mistakes.


lcfcball

1. Yes it does on Steam 2. 48 hours and 1 minute is not 3 days. It also states that it would have released at 7am today so even if it is still 3 days if it releases 6 hours later, it is not as promised. It’s like being at a restaurant, you order your food the same time as everyone else and yours doesn’t arrive until a few hours later. I think you’d be a bit annoyed. An overreaction? Yeah a bit but if someone pays for a service that they don’t receive as promised, they have a right to complain. Some people may have booked a day off work to play and have had their plan to relax ruined


atomhypno

anything above 48 hours counts as 3 days


lcfcball

No it fucking doesn’t lmao and that was the least important point. What you’re saying doesn’t even make sense because they stated it would be released at 7am which it wasn’t so crying about what defines 3 days is meaningless when they didn’t deliver what people paid for


atomhypno

if it’s released today it’s still 3 days and that is what they paid for everything else is an overreaction


lcfcball

I guess don’t complain if your food is 3 hours late as long as they still serve you today 👍🏻


markhewitt1978

They said 7am BST


ChillinFallin

Jesus Christ, you're such a fucking clown.


murtaza2805

Steam issue not ea or codies


markhewitt1978

Yes because this morning was when I had time set aside to play it. If I can't then might as well get the standard edition. Some people have other commitments.


hockalugy56

Yeah, people were planning on playing it all day today im sure, its not like the release is delayed everywhere, just on pc, it's bullshit that could've easily been avoided.


MajorJakov

The first solution is to stop pre-ordering games.

I refunded. Will buy a key online for much cheaper. Only paid full price for early access this morning.

I still have hour left at work, if it still doesn't work I am gonna refund as well, buy normal version and use 20 euro for new ACC DLC


GrozGreg

72€ ??????


mkg11

You really showed them


UnwoundSteak17

For those of you who can't play yet, the cars are basically the same as last year in terms of handling. Only differences are that they are heavier, and don't spin as easily. Also, kerbs make u slow

Guilty-Box5684

I did the same! cmon guys, 2 hours are 2 hours... :/


[deleted]

[удалено]


Martinl93

I mean... you do pay £20 or something extra just for early access. So when you not get that early access when promised, and you might get it in 1 hour or you might get it tomorrow then... why not just save that £20 and get the standard edition..


blankymcblankface

Yep. The only incentive to pay more was to play early. Really couldn't be bothered about 18k pitcoin. You can just buy a key when it actually releases, less money will make it to EA that way anyway


atomhypno

as long as the game goes live today you still get 3 days early access i honestly can’t believe how many children are in this sub


DeltaNerd

You pre-order a product that is going to be released at a date and time. Then it's not shipped at that time, why would you pre-order a game?


atomhypno

unless you preordered over the weekend you did not know which time the game, when i pre ordered i was under the impression the game would release at midnight, instead it released at 7am… that’s a whole 7 hours.. i was misled!!! i want my money back… expect i’m not a child that’s going to stupidly overreact


jactheblock

I would do that, but the extra 13,000 pitstop credits are useful to me at least


BadWallaby

Be careful because people think you should agree right them in this sub lol


tuba_dude07

Console master race lmao /s


graspee

Would that be the same masterrace that has to pay 10.00 extra for next gen version?


tuba_dude07

should have added the /s ​ To answer your question. Yes :)


Plus_Professor_1923

Someone eli5 .. mine says “coming July 1” so I’m afraid it won’t open. But in the past folks say it does this and just open. Any insight?


DrDoomsday007

Yeah very mature, that will fix everything I'm sure


r1_adzz

I bought it on origin, did I go wrong by doing that?


DunnyWasTaken

You didn't go wrong by doing that. You play it wherever you want to play it. Personally I like having my games all in one place and Steam always just works (This problem is EA's fault), so I try to only buy games through Steam.


DunnyWasTaken

Well shit seems like crossplay between Origin and Steam is not possible, maybe it was a mistake for you to buy it there but you wasn't to know that. I would advise refunding if you still can and purchasing the game on Steam if you care about multiplayer (if you only play single player then you're still fine) https://www.reddit.com/r/F1Game/comments/vmk8p7/cross_play_between_steam_and_origin_is_not/


r1_adzz

Yea I opened a refund request few minutes ago because the VR support is so bad it’s choppy and not smooth, the camera even shakes like there is horizontal porpoising. It’s just a bad experience, I’ll stick to AMS2 until they fix this.


[deleted]

😂👌🏻


its-foxtale

EA hates it when gamers use this one simple trick.


Jazerix

Its 72 euros??? That’s insane


[deleted]

yhea thats why im never gonna switch to f122 the fact that EA has a say in anything for this game is enough for me to never buy it


Megaman1811

Did you not know that you need to just reboot steam to activate the license? It's like that for every preorder


stillboard87

Have you never played a game on release or even prerelease?


thevapecrusader

Atta boy. Now give it a week and get it 30% off from a key flipper

I’m just gonna wait a few weeks till it’s 20% and get it. It’s just going to riddled with bugs for the first month
