Re order using same day and get it tomorrow

Then cancel two day order. Duh.

 

[Mook]

I don't need it that bad.

GAMES IN THE SUMMER? Don't you guys all have actual cars to drive around in now?

Unlike some of us less privileged folks

 

[Mook]

Ive been out almost every weekend doing car stuff. Gotta keep myself occupied on the weeknights.

 

[IDAFC21]

Out here my summer is your winter. No way in hell im bringin my ass outside in the 115+ degree heat to go do anything. Only time i leave one air conditioned box is to go to another air conditioned box.

I gots the game. Havent opened it up yet tho. I may try and give it a shot before fargo tonight.

Played a tiny bit. Good lord this is such a different animal with the wheel. Did the first couple career events, got far enough where I can buy my own car and start my own team now. Ive got the AI on challenging right now. i MIGHT bump it up to the next one. I dont know, we'll see how it goes. I've had my fun w/ the unrelenting AI of dirt rally already. Time to start fargo.

 

[Mook]

WELL? JOE? NICK? How is it?

 

[wombat]

First time with a DiRT game, I like it so far. Been playing around in the "training area" learning all the shit.

 

[IDAFC21]

I forgot to mention this last night, but in one of my stages it got real foggy, and good GOD. In the cockpit view you literally cant see 10 feet in front of the car. Christ that is nerve wracking. Need to form my team tonight and purchase my own car.

 

[IDAFC21]

Got my team all together, bought me a brand spankin new Fiesta R2 car, and did a couple championships. I upped the AI to demanding, but I may still need to go further. At least with this peasant rally car if everything goes well I can still sail on to championship wins quite handily. I even beat out the group A guys. Not sure what will happen when i get into more competent cars, but right now its still too easy. A couple protips: go into the difficulty settings and make sure the off-throttle braking is off. Cuz that applies the brakes for you going into a turn when you let off the throttle. pssh. Also turn launch control off. This forces you to actually hold down the E-brake yourself at the start of the stage and let it go once the lights go out. Same goes for time control braking. Turn that crap off. That makes you have to stop at the time control guy at the end of the stage on your own.

Just did a landrush event w/ the buggies. Good lord those things are loose. So easy to upset the car over bumps too. And if you let anyone get in front of you, all you see is dust. That was intense. Gonna go back to a rally event where I can feel relaxed

Also just spent well over 150k upgrading my facilities. I rather like that aspect of management that they've thrown into this game. As soon as your level is high enough you definitely wanna buy the R&D upgrade, cuz thats how you get better newer parts on your car.

 

[Mook]

So anyone playing this? I havent touched it since getting to the training place.

 

[Eagle]

I'll give you $15 for the game

 

[The Beast]

I'll do $20

I've played a few rounds but had to go on the road. Will revisit when I'm back.

 

[IDAFC21]

Well according to xbox,

Ive played 6 hours so far
[MENTION=12]Bru[/MENTION] has played 3 hours
[MENTION=5]Mook[/MENTION] has played 1 hour
And [MENTION=127]wombat[/MENTION], 40 minutes, wtf!

I havent played in a few days, but I just havent had the time. I'm sure I'll get a few more events done this weekend. I finally unlocked rallycross, which I never touched in dirt rally.

Gonna need to expand my garage soon. I bought a bugeye wrx sti that popped up in the used classifieds, it was dirt cheap and had barely been used so I couldnt resist. I dont even know if i can use it any of the events I have unlocked yet.

 

[IDAFC21]

Also I just found out last time I was playing that if you go to your employees and bring up the perks menu, there a WHOLE laundry list of buffs you can purchase to make them better and get you better deals on things. I didnt even realize that before. Only thing I dont know yet is if they're employee specific, or if they carry over to the next employee if you hire if you find a better person to hire.

As a side I will say I love that you can encounter broken down cars in the middle of your run, and they have flag people out there warning you to slow down before you get there. Thats something I've never seen in a rally game before, but it just adds to the realism of it all.
