Yeah it had a pretty rough ride at the start but when it worked, it was really nice tbh.
Also:
Damn shame, tbh. Out of all of them I really like the visuals and vibe of Firefish.
Questions are growing? Haven’t they been out already for fucking years??
Don’t worry everyone, it was fine. Someone just drove into
Hardly surprised to be honest, I hear there’s good versions of toasters to drive too
I mean the trend these days is massive preorder price then back down to a normal price after a month or so, right? :/
I know right?! It especially runs really well on steam deck, too
Yeah to be fair I’ve seen loads of examples where sim racers have multiple wheels that they use on display on a shelf and they just swap them out
I’m sure that could probably be bound to a Push To Talk button or something for extra immersion!
Can see that. But a piece of art that gets used or just kept safe? 🤣
I have a few friends who are now dropping this game (they’re on Linux). Such a dick move by EA
Right?? Makes me want to smash out a stage like that in wales on Dirt Rally 2 but alas, I would make a shambles of it 🤣
😂 endurance rally!
As stupid as it sounds, I forget which gear I’m in when I use sequential, and spend more time pissing around trying to look at which one I’m in. With manual, I at least have that physical, muscle confirmation as to which I’m in and can make a split second decision as to which I need next. I’m probably just not used to sequential, but I still don’t get the enjoyment out of it I guess. That’s entirely personal preference though.
Yeah this was a bit of a dick move by EA (intentional or not). A friend of mine also had to write off the game for this exact reason.
Awesome choice, love having a good fight with this thing. I did a video about this one in EA WRC. Such a great car. Link if interested: (not my best editing, going through rough times atm but oh well) https://video.gamerstavern.online/w/1QFkxig44RQBsaQ1wahHqQ
Stratos! Great car! Though in it’s class I always end up choosing the Ford Escort MK2 instead 😆
Hell yeah, manual shift all the way. I literally don’t drive any sequential shift cars- if I I’m forced to I’ll still drive it as a manual. It’s what the joy of driving is for me to be honest.
I wouldn’t knock EA WRC, it’s still made by Codemasters- the guys behind all the dirt series so it’s still very much a similar game but with the added bonus of a WRC license so you get a shed load more cars and official tracks
Yeah I feel you on this one- very similar situation myself! Forget energy, you’ll never have it. Just find the time, and aim racing will give you the buzz you’ve been looking for.
