GRID needs a lot of work for newcomers

I'm new to GRID but not car games - and I am new to Stadia. Yeah, I'm old but I'm still a paying customer who is looking for a good experience to pay more money to you, if it works for me. Convince me that you're better than a console.

GRID needs a beginners instruction sheet <period> or else nobody new will have the patience to keep on crashing, spinning and going nowhere. We aren't all GTA experts.This is true of other games I've tried. One simple instruction sheet or pointer to the controls will help new users a LOT.

On Stadia, GRID starts in a game and there is no way to figure out what the heck is happening until a couple of cars have crashed into you and you hold down the Esc key in frustration, and a kind of menu shows up.

It takes ages to find the setup menu, and nothing appears to take until you join Racenet, which not explained at all.

It absolutely needs a practice mode and a menu when it starts - it's not hard to program a switch to turn that feature off when you eventually become an expert.

I have an old Xbox360 controller I am using until I figure out if Stadia is worth my money and invest in a Stadia controller. It won't take as the default on GRID - it switches back to keyboard as the default.

Know your audience - us oldies have a ton of disposable income that we cannot spend during lockdown, and after a 20 year hiatus from gaming, I'm looking to spend my money on you. Make it worth my while!

I do agree a bit. I definitely see what you mean, because I had the same issues. I'll admit, I got a tiny bit frustrated with the beginning, but quickly got the hang of it

I've been stuck at home the last week and a half (haven't been feeling well), and Stadia seriously came in handy. I do think GRID could've had a little bit better of a tutorial, though it was pretty interesting to be thrown in instantly!
