Without the yapping:
I can't in good faith recommend buying this game in it's current state. I've been on the motorsport side of Forza since Forza Motorsport 2, and this game is largely disappointing. This game is proof of Forza Motorsports fall from grace and it's sad. I bought this game to have the most up-to-date forza with the most players to race against, and with the player numbers constantly dropping it fails to deliver even that.

With the yapping:
Most races I enter (from a pre-determined, temporary hopper) have about 6 players. A 25 player lobby with 6 players. The progression system is flawed, the penalty system is absolutely abysmal, and the bugs are still very numerous and apparent. I don't want to grind 4+ hours to finally be able to upgrade the car how I want, just for it to be a very mid build for it's class. And that's AFTER they "made it less grindy". No one wants to play 20 hours just to finally be competitive in a single hopper.

The multiplayer experience is not great. But actually racing in the car FEELS rather good. The single player is awful, and the fact they resorted to FOMO for their career rewards tells a very important story. While we're at it, maybe we should stop this thing where we get dropped IMMEDIATELY into a race on first start up. It's obnoxious. Motorsport also doesn't know if it wants to tend to the casual crowd or people who are serious about racing, and that's a problem.

Players found a way to make the game less grindy (by letting it play itself overnight (or the wheel spin money glitch), because the game progression is disgusting), and instead of realizing "oh hey maybe this isn't working for the game", they punish the players by removing the work-arounds. Maybe the GAME is the problem, and not the players. I didn't do the money glitch, but the fact that you RESET their credits because they didn't play your BROKEN game the way you wanted them to is pitiful.

Rework the progression system (or remove it), FIX the penalty system, and maybe instead of adding new content, make the existing content playable? Some endurance races? Anything?

TL:DR version: I don't recommend it, It's sour milk.

The reason I say it's sour milk is because it's gotten old, and it's over-done itself. Team Pillow-Fortress 2 was based around a good idea, but then it just got over-ridden with silly ideas and principles that had no true place in the game. And i say no real place because It's silly to let anyone wear seventeen different fedoras all at once. They would've gotten a better crowd if they had called it "Team Hat" and painted one side a baby blue, and the other a pretty pink. Wait, don't they do that already? The game has a strange sense of "warfare" where you repeatedly hit someone with a baseball bat saying "bonk" like a toddler trying to formulate his/her first word. Sure, the game is interesting, but after a while the ♥♥♥♥-up just displays a word in the middle of your screen "hat". It'd be nice if there were some more weapons, presumably some decent looking ones, and maybe a dildo skin for the baseball bat, so that i can get the glory of slapping the sniper in the corner with it. I couldn't get half way through the game without being bombarded with ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hats.

The game has over-stayed it's welcome, and i believe that it can go die in a pit of fire.

I tried to love this game. I tried really hard. Over 200 hours and I've come to the conclusion that it just really isn't worth the time.

It's a very fun game, do not get me wrong. When i get into it, i get INTO it. But the lack of stability is jarring. I have an AMD 2060 with an nvidia 1650 super, 8 gigs of ram on top. It is simply unplayable. The game is too buggy, i can't even play anymore. It slowly freezes more and more until it completely freezes my pc.

I have tried verifying the game cache, deleting the game files, reinstalling the game, changing my paging file size, changing the graphics settings, unchecking the "fullscreen optimizations" box, not using full screen, different resolutions, just playing vanilla, running the launcher as admin, running the game as admin, running steam as admin, NOTHING makes this game stable on my computer and it's honestly impressive. Depressively impressive. That coupled with the general unstability of cars turns this from a game into a monsterous CHORE. I run the lowest settings. I have everything off. nothing works to fix this.

The core gameplay is thrilling. When you get into firefights it's thrilling and you'll be on the edge of your toes. It's much less thrilling when the game is frozen to the point where you don't get to fight back. I haven't had a proper fight in this game YET. Once the sound of the shot happens it freezes. Every. Time.

This isn't to say that you'll have the same experience, of course it might be fine for you. But it's still a game laden with very game breaking problems.

TL;DR version: It's fun, if money isn't too much of an issue, buy it.

Counter-Strike:Global Offensive isn't the best of the shooter genre, nor the worst. The game has a theme of either "Good team, We're doing great" or, the more often, "MY TEAM ISNT COVERING ME AND THE ENEMIES ARE HACKERS!!!! Q.Q". The game incorporates many different scenarios in which you either save some brain-dead hostages or you have to cut the red wire. For some reason, though, Valve thought it would be a good idea to implement skins into the game. Now I'm not saying that it's not a bad idea, I just don't want to have a vast selection of hats (Helmets?) to be implemented also. We've already had a similar issue in a different game *cough*. This game throws you in as either a Counter-terrorist or a Terrorist. In a lot of cases, the side you choose doesn't matter. It's mostly dependent on the map. It has a strange way of working out like that. After a while, once you get some skins, and you're 15-2 in game, you just have this repetetive process of doing the same thing. Kill people, get drops, rinse, lather, repeat.

Once i got to that point in the game I had a knife that could help me buy the state of montana, whereas i questioned why I continued playing. All the stress of bad teams and adequet players i just started to continuosly smack my face into the wall. The enemies finally found out that i was a bewildered deer, and just shot me on sight. The game is fun, but the kind of fun that makes you want to cut your pinky off. Not like a DayZ fun, where you search for everything your previous grandfather owned in his basement, but the fun of being a filthy casual.
