Tired of Assetto Corsa

[Jason Mullin]

How can I say this without sounding negative as AC modding was the reason I ditched consoles and bought a PC.
Anyone else feel like they've gotten what they can out of AC, and perhaps like me have become bored with it?

With the endless mods available there's no reason anyone should feel bored, but I do.
Perhaps I've played it too much, it just feels like it has run it's course and doesn't make me smile like a giddy child as it once did.
Am I alone here?

Mate, I don't think anybody cares about things that bore you.
If you wanna talk to someone about stuff happening in your life, try get a haircut somewhere.

Spoiler: *sigh*

As you can see by the activity in the mod sections, there is plenty of stuff going on and ppl ain't bored at all.

Do you play online? Its always cool racing real people, like with simracingsystem.com.

Over 3600 played here and still playing every day. Not a single sign of boredom for me.
The only limit in AC using CM is your imagination, maybe that is where your issue is.
Yesterday I drove Targa Florio with the Viper from adr3, in VR, what a blast, every lap is around 40 minutes, I could not believe how fast time flew, the day before I raced a M3 against other road cars online at Laguna Seca, with a nice bunch of drivers, that was great also.
So much to do, so little time.

Yes, had some great races on SRS!
Have met some very fast and polite racers as well.

MP brings longevity for me. I'm normally only racing with 1 or 2 people but it still doesn't get old after countless hours of racing

 

[Kek700]

Unfortunately that is life now in our society, new buzz, new buzz, new buzz.

But the same old boredom always returns, quicker, quicker, quicker every time.

Perhaps the answer is in the statements from the first post

1000+ hrs here aswell and no sign of getting bored. Racing here in the club and doing some other leagues keep me busy with the sim, since either I have a race night or a practice night

I also don't want to sound rude or neative, so don't take this the wrong way, but if it is boring to you, just go and play something else, no use talking about it here. You're not spellbound to AC, and maybe if you take a break from it and come back some time later it may be some fun again, or maybe it won't be.

Nobody cares, and nor should you

Genuinely possible, but implausible as I'm balder than Stefano himself and getting a haircut would undoubtedly waste my money and the barbers time.
But, I understand you may think that this thread could do the same.

That's okay I was just wondering if others were feeling AC to be a bit stale as we've had it since 8 November 2013.
Ironically rFactor 2 has been around 5 years and still draws me in so I don't think it's a general sweeping society issue.

Everyone gets times of burnout in any activity - I get bored of offline AC in a few hours, let alone years. Online though, never gets boring.

Don't agree it's a modern malaise, was the same when I was a kid & I suspect always has been.

Well said.
I think a break is a good idea.
Still holding strong looking forward to ACC perhaps that will light a fire.

Just do something else for a while, you could be bored of sim driving rather than AC itself, ACC won't help there. I would perhaps try doing something in AC you don't usually do before you give up completely because you obviously don't actually want to stop, it's just not stimulating you enough.

If you are bored of Assetto Corsa then you are bored of LIFE!




Or maybe just bored of sim racing.

You might be on to something there friend.
Time to knock the dust off the Ducati and go get a red bull.

If you are bored with the all variety that is Assetto Corsa, I don't know how long a single series game with a limited number of cars and tracks is going to hold your interest.

But an early morning ride on a great bike with nobody on the road ... now that is something else.

Just a single bike!? Gosh, that must be boring. Surely you must need some variety to avoid real life becoming too 'arcade'.../s

Very true on both fronts sir.
You know the roads where we live, they are life giving to say the least on two wheels.
My old, exciting, somewhat unreliable air cooled 750SS should get it done.
I do apologize for creating a thread that could be seen as questionable, should the site staff feel it's unneeded, I completely understand.

 

[Jempy]

Variety of pleasures in your free time should help a lot not to get bored ....
Although AC is my favourite one ( only in league ... or here at RD Racing Club if I had time ) .... nothing prevents to .... drive another good sim .... according to your preferences:
RRE or RF2 or Automobilista or even a good old GTR2 ....

Maybe the right cure not to get bored.

If you're talking about me ... I ain't "staff" ... I'm a broke down old man who likes to think, always asks questions and enjoys writhing about the experience. You should see how much trouble that has gotten me into here, there ... and everywhere .

Your thread gave me a moment to think over my morning coffee and a chance to talk with you about it.

BTW ... you should see the roads here in in the hills of north Georgia ... and all 318 curves found in the eleven miles of the tail of the Dragon (LINK) isn't all that far away.
