A bloke i work with plays dirt with Colin Mcrea's nephew. I tried to play with them once, lapped me about 2 minutes in. Racing games are not for me.decent offers on the steam winter sale. being someone of limited imagination i just loaded all the dirt rally 2 dlc for 50% off.
just started Odyssey, on the starting island. liking it, great scenery, gameplay seems good. playing without the 'join the dots' navigation. still has way points and such. just slightly less go to point A stab this, loot that, go to point B, etc vibe. if there's too much navigation assistance, you might as well be on a frikken conveyor belt, IMO.Decided to get ac Valhalla for $59 from Amazon. Odyssey was so good. Let’s hope I’m not disappointed!
The join the dots thingy has always been the trademark of ac games I think. It’s certainly much much more challenging without it.just started Odyssey, on the starting island. liking it, great scenery, gameplay seems good. playing without the 'join the dots' navigation. still has way points and such. just slightly less go to point A stab this, loot that, go to point B, etc vibe. if there's too much navigation assistance, you might as well be on a frikken conveyor belt, IMO.
Agreed. Some racing games and fun but some just miss the mark. I didn't mind the earlier Colin McRae games but the later Dirt just weren't as fun for me. The Need For Speeds were hit n' miss.A bloke i work with plays dirt with Colin Mcrea's nephew. I tried to play with them once, lapped me about 2 minutes in. Racing games are not for me.
But is he as fast as Cookie?A bloke i work with plays dirt with Colin Mcrea's nephew. I tried to play with them once, lapped me about 2 minutes in. Racing games are not for me.
Drive Club is fun. you get to drive the teats off some cool exotic sports cars in different settings, and the engine notes are pretty sweet, to my ear.Agreed.

I liked Burnout games just for the speed and scenery. SW Pod Racer was fun too.
Motocross Madness and Pure was just no thinking, go fast fun.
the dirt series is very arcadey, dirt rally 1 and 2 are more serious. Still the best racing i found was in iracing but it sucks when you want to do a series but need to constantly buy new tracks or sit a week out and find something else.Agreed.

Might have ot give it a try. I'm on the fence with games that get too sim-like where you are adjusting all sorts of car settings opposed to ones where you just drive fast, and don't run into bug immovable things.Drive Club is fun. you get to drive the teats off some cool exotic sports cars in different settings, and the engine notes are pretty sweet, to my ear.
Dirt rally was intense, haven't tried DR2, but just got WRC 9 to try out over the break. Jimmy Broadbent (sim racer) approved
I have spent some time in that one too. It was a lot of fun.Road Rash was the pinnacle of all driving / riding games
I might have to try a few more. I don't mind a bit more arcade over full on serious car sims. Each have their place thoughthe dirt series is very arcadey, dirt rally 1 and 2 are more serious.

They were pretty good at the time and packed a lot into into. Play the original one now if you want to hear music from the 90sThe early burnout games where amazing.
I remember something about motor cross madness where you would get to the end of the map and be 'shot' back to the track or something. I used to play it with a mate I'd completely forgot existed. Just found him on my girlfriends facebook, he is a muscly as shit and into dirt bikes now. This has been a wild ride haha.
Get on it. Not the dirt rally series, just the dirt series. 2 was the most fun I reckon, pure Arcady action. 3&4 tried to add some realism so kinda lost me a bit. Havn't played 5 yet but I hear it's more or less discarded the realism again, so should be a hootI might have to try a few more. I don't mind a bit more arcade over full on serious car sims. Each have their place though
Still got burnout dominator and revenge on the PSP, ripper gamesThe early burnout games where amazing.
