Real racing 3. #rant
So more than a month ago I re-downloaded Real Racing 3 saying it couldn’t be that bad, everyone says it’s a great game. Well I uninstalled it a week later. People ask why don’t you like real racing 3? Well…..it’s everything I hate about a free moblie games. First off why does everyone appreciate the progression? It’s way too slow, 1k-2k CR per race doesn’t get you enough money to progress without grinding. A average of 800k per car makes things extremely difficult to get a decent car. Second, you might as well place a wall where the AI would be and it would be more productive than the AI. The AI have no race craft they just hit the brakes way too early into the corner, the punt anything in their way including other AI. The AI block the apex, pushing you off the track, and not leaving the space. Third, I know it’s a free game, but why is the gold such a focus in the game. Everything revoles around gold liveries, cars, and upgrades(opinional). Also the amount of gold you receive is tiny compared to what you need.
Fourth, multiplayer….. where do I start. The Net code is awful with cars lagging all over the circuit “Colliding” with cars that are 4 car lengths back. Collisions are so stupid you barely touch a car and you slow down to a crawl. Trolls are everywhere they ruin people’s races costing them their repair times and their sanity. Now we get to the worst parts of the game, The ridicules handling model, the repair system, and the Rigged Events. Let’s start with the lesser of three evils, the Events. the events promise a “Free” car. The reason I put “Free” in quotations is because you will be spending all of your gold to get the car anyway. The time limit is too short and you have to wait till the day ends to start a new section. You have 7 days where if you get behind a day you might as well say goodbye to the “free car.” Why does everyone support the handling model, it’s not as good as everyone says it is. It’s like driving on ice out of corners and understeer into corners. The brakes etheir don’t slow you down or they send you into a slide. Once your sideways out of a corner it’s race over, the AI cars go faster when they’re infront and extremely slow when their behind
Finally we get to the REPAIR SYSTEM. Arguably the worst part of the entire game. It fits the free game formula of play for 4 minutes now wait 4 hours to play again. This is the main reason why I hate this game. Why play for 10 minutes when I can play Gear.club for an hour or less. Also the cars are so fragile you would be lucky to race in two events before waiting an hour for your car to be repaired. So why, why can’t this be good it’s so disappointing and rage inducing. If only if was more like it’s predecessors instead of a disappointing mess that it is today

It’s just another typical mobile game. In South Park they called these type of games “freemium” , which means that the game can be played for free, but basically the game is designed so that it will no-fun-bore-fest unless you spend real money. Giving you only certain amount of free repairs is meant so that unless you want to play only few times a day you have to pay money. If you want to survive the eventual paywall (in this game, fast cars) you have to pay money. Unless you are willing to grind for months or even a whole year.
Sadly that’s how all the mobile games are nowadays. Companies realized that people aren’t willing to pay 10-20 euros for a full mobile game, but they were easily lured into paying 50-100 euros, or even hundreds of euros through small and tempting micro-payments, which helped you progress.
I also played Real Racing 3 for couple weeks about a year ago, and uninstalled it after I saw it’s yet another “freemium”
This is why I only pay small silly games on mobile devices and leave the proper games to compute where it’s tons more fun and meaningful (if games can even be called that lol)
Well, that comment got longer than I planned in the end lol. Was bored and I thought I’ll go ahead and show off my awesome knawledge lol :D
I agree with you about repairs but also I have problem that car would just go sideways at like 50 km/h so stupid.
Ikr
About the “event” thingy, NFS No Limits is doing that too, but worse.
They’re r both awful at it
Well, coming from the same publisher its truly no surprise
Eh theyve made them easier. Ive gotten the last three cars without using any of my gold.
i can’t win even i enter event
There’s a typo in this rant. If you find it you’ll get an upvote bomb
Awwww. I could’ve searched it for you, but I don’t want an upvote bomb :(
“Free mazda games” instead of “free mobile games”
I agree and I especially hate the AI and the fact that it hasn’t got a quick race or time trial race mode.
Played it for like 2 weeks and got rid of it.
All is sooooo true
Depends what car you’re in. I drive with TCS on but everything else off, and some cars (for example Porsche 918 Spyder Concept, McLaren MP4-12C, Nissan GT-R) feel very stable and easy to drive, whereas other cars (Ferraris in particular) feel really slidy and are very hard to control.
Bits of it suck, but it’s the best game I’ve found and has kept me hoocked for a while. Haven’t spent a single penny and still have good cars (recently I bought an Agera R and an Enzo).
There’s are way better games out there like gear club and CSR
Gear club is way better
The worst is the handling and AI the money thing will happened with all free games but when the front has infinite grip and the rear randomly lets go it’s not good
I haze to agree with most of your rants, as I have played the game for over 300 hours (thank the lack of a console for that one). The AI has quite a learning curve, with them starting off too easy, but then becoming impossible unless you spend your money (or most likely gold) upgrading your car. I was able to bypass the issue of gold by downloading Lucky Patcher on Bluestacks on my computer, them moving game saves from my phone to my computer, them back again. It worked smoothly (if not slowly), and because of that, I have 5k in gold. I know this is all-out cheating, but I don’t really care at this point. All in all though, it is my favorite mobile racing, as it feels more of a sim than the others, without the opportunity of using one.
The issue is you have to cheat to have fun, instead of the developers just making a paid game for us to enjoy but no they have to micro transaction paywall the entire game so you have a hope of having fun
