So bog

You think the notes are not wrong on purpose, how come they get 99% of them right then?

How come a lot of stages finishes have very tricky corners in them and a massive variance in the length from the yellow board to the red stop board? When in fact they should all be the same? These are all little things to add wildcard aspects to the difficulty, not realism.

 

[The Flying Hun]

Got the DL edition in recent steam sale and the CMR update for free just days later. Extremely positively surprised, I like the first game, but their last update for it ruined the VR part, it had a microstutter every ten seconds which by no means I could get rid of. This game now has smooth VR, immense content, drives nice, and this for a very low (sales) price. Excellent bang for the buck ratio. Absolutely recommended, I love it. The one thing i do not like - once again in a Codemaster title: the menu is baaaah, and mouse does not work in VR and with wheel attached at least. They hsould not enforce this stupid console design on PC platforms, it has always sucked and it will always suck. Else: great racing game. The difficulty for my taste is just about right, not too much, not too little. The new Scotland stages mauled be badly, however, which is no criticism, but an expression of appreciation.

 

[Dobermann92]

Nice, now I only have to wait for a hefty discount to get everything at once.

 

[Daniel Watkin]

So I just spotted the GOTY edition on steam for £22 and bought it. I planned on using it with an Oculus Rift CV1. Will this be OK on the steam version?

 

[anton_Chez]

Should do. I use Index on Steam version, I don't seer any difference with a different headset. You MIGHT not have native Oculus support, however, and might need to use SteamVR instead. Can't be certain, but it's a possibility.

How about human error maybe? How come they fixed some of the notes in updates if they were wrong by design as you suggests?

Having finishes in tricky corners is surely one aspect of added challenge, not that it's abscent in real life now and then.

Also, there are notes describing the finish lines, adapt your speed to that. If you don't care of it you can turn off the flying finish feature.

 

[Rob Every]

I am not expecting perfection, that is impossible. and I am picking faults in an otherwise fairly well put together game.

But, there are areas that are clearly deliberately made to be overly difficult, and by design, not by anything natural.

That's all I mean. The game is hard enough already, there is no need for this false increasing difficulty, lights, awful rain drops, etc etc.

 

[Alex Harkett]

I've been burned slightly with regards to the DLC for this title, and to be honest i've not put that much time into the game. But it'll always have a special place in my heart because of where the franchise all began... Colin McRae Rally.
RIP Colin!

 

[Mekonrider]

Most fun I've had in these Covid ridden days. Most VR fun I've had for a while actually! I still flinch and duck when I crash into a tree over a jump.

 

[theravenousbeast]

[QUOTE="turbo86, post: 3137517, member: 3125"There are developers out there who make mostly simulators, and their products haven't been cracked yet and will probably never will be. [/QUOTE]

lul

okay buddy sure

only sims that aren't cracked ARE the ones constantly connected. Raceroom and iRacing.

 

[nepal roade]

I wonder how much I should invoice them for storing 20gb of their data on my system that will never see the light of day with me.

 

[Thomas Lambaerts]

"My steam is online the moment my computer boots, but f*ck codemasters for always connecting to racenet" I just don't see the problem? Google and facebook stalk you every couple minutes, even without a facebook account. They spy on everything you do on your phone, where you are etc. But f*ck codemasters for checking piracy / the leaderboards? Give me online over pc slowing DRM's. Except for last week( they patched it), racenet connection problems have been unexsistant for me. First month had its bad moments but after that, nothing. For the rest of those 300hours i have been racing, mostly club championships

 

[Nico]

As a PC player I hope they will unlock the DLC cars for modding. Some DLC cars need custom liveries very badly.

 

[Ole Marius Myrvold]

Nice, now I only have to wait for a hefty discount to get everything at once.

Last Steam sale, it was everything for 20 EUR or something, so maybe easter sale ?

 

[Ole Marius Myrvold]

Oh, and a bit of self-promotion https://www.racedepartment.com/forums/dirt-rally-2-0-club-leagues.138/
The RD Rally Club runs weekly, and with an open DR2.0 club, we've steadily gone from 20 starters to a whole lot more now. 180 This week!

 

[budlix]

Scotish tracks seems super-easy..

 

[bogani]

The Newhouse Bridge stage reminds me of Swedish Rally roads during summer. Ditches and elevations makes sense, it just feels like a proper rally stage.

Best thing about Scotland is the absence of weird bumps that kills the flow. Great stuff!

 

[Tony 93]

Best rally sim Dirt 2.0

 

[ChevyGuy566]

I was struggling to find the fun in DR2 compared to DR1 but I have to say the new Colin McRae challenge mode has been a blast so far. As others have said, the new Subaru Legacy is a joy to drive and the new Scotland stages are a real rush. They're like Wales and Finland mixed into one.

 

[Dobermann92]

Last Steam sale, it was everything for 20 EUR or something, so maybe easter sale ?

I keep track of it and it wasn't cheaper than 27.49 euros in my country (currently it has the same price as well). I'm hoping for that 20 euros mark.
