The career does need some work for the next one.. it needs to be better at showing how great it can be. Spotlighting events and different cars.

Anyway did enough seasonals to win the first car but fuck me anyone recommend a tune for the jeep series of races. Won the first race, second in the second.. can't get anywhere near the front in the third.. the entire pack just go past me off the line.

Assuming you did these in the same order as me, so the last race is the point to point at the top right of the map, then that last one is a fucker.

Essentially, I had to not touch the brake almost at all during the race, bounce of AI cars to take corners quickly and make liberal use of the rewind function, particularly around the very last jump to ensure I landed well and was able to catch the leader on the final corner.

Yes that’s the one Yoss! Thanks

Not with a tenner each.

To answer what I consider grindy, it falls into two camps. The first I've blamed on Game Pass and that's probably unfair, where the sort of gameplay I'm criticising is what younger players are into. outoftouchskinner.gif

I'd ask who in the feck finds winning horns and dances and shoes on wheelspins exciting, buuut... Skinner. I get that a lot of people enjoy winning random cars and actually approve of that side, with the proviso there's minimal busywork (in this case a few silly prices).

Mechanical grind's highlighted by the likes of smashable boards, where I rinsed a few hundred grand fast-travelling to FT boards for... free FT. Back in the Tony Hawk era you'd get hidden tapes, but they were skill-based and local, not Pokemonesque in their collection requirements. But you don't have to collect boards; I get that.

I just think fast-travelling should follow the OG teleport-where-you've-been model, and doing it this way is obvious padding. They could dot diners and pubs and garages around the map (no petrol stations, by the way?), where you'd appear in their carparks once you'd been to them.

Am I thin-end-of-the-wedging prematurely, or does anyone else get a whiff of GTA pigeons?

As for teambased play, I've been crying out for it in fightmen for years, because I feel games have become more and more insular as their singleplayer content's increased. Keeping us screenlocked more important to publishers than classically, more temporarily entertained.

I know we've lots of MP-focused games, but I wish driving games like this encouraged communities with neater gameplay aspects, rather than relying on likemindeds getting it on via outside channels.

That last one's a bit of a harsh crit, but we've spun through several gens now without much MP evolution. Rivals is good if you're into TTing, but how old's that Need for Speed with popups?

Teleporting liberally with my full garage, I quite enjoy ambling around. Shame about the dull map, and how much slow-going it imposes in its copious offroad areas. Its handful of cheery sections reinforce the grey-and-brown mood elsewhere, but the engine sounds are nice for an hour's ramble. Sure is drab for such a sunny place, though.

I mentioned fightmen and they epitomise grinding, but it's self-inflicted. Same as playing WipEout Omega for ages to reach higher zones. Anything where you're against yourself/others without forced objectives, however easy they are. Street Fighter IV's an example of offering combo examples for its characters (good), but then tying an achievement to completing them all (bad!).

FH5 got off on the wrong foot when it had me slogging through jungle to photograph a couple of hard-to-see statues like it was two thousand and PS2. Trekking up a mountain to solve Lex Luthor's maze smash into lava vents...

Alternatively, other people play this driving game because they enjoy the driving.

It's a lot of fun.

I like a wheelspin .. getting some shit I'm never going to use is part of the risk/reward that makes it rewarding when you do get something good. Also you win shit loads of cash.

I've won ten Dodges I'm never going to use, would never buy.. but might come in handy one day.

Are you sure right about this? I bought the f40
As also had the wrong f40
And did it no bother without dropping loads of
Cash

You can always flog the Bentley and rebuy the F40 when you’re done with it. From what I was seeing on the auction house earlier in the week, you’ll likely come out with the F40 and an extra 6 or 700K on top.

Lag.

lol. was just on my way here to post that link. would be top lols if that happened on FNF. imagine the flounce!

I'm out for tonight, btw. Sorry chaps.

I’m also out.

I think I'll give it a miss too, feeling a bit shit.

I was free tonight. Never mind, I’m tired and have a bit of a headache so I may play something gentle and relaxing instead.
