No Tommy, he's still chebbed up with a PS3 that conks out every so often. He needs to upgrade to the Sexbox 360, IMO.

Oh wait RLOD! Anyhoot I love blu-rays ktnxbi.

Hi Tommy mate, what happened to your progress thread? Mines is good mate, did you read my winter detail? Have another one soon and some new parts to go on.

 

[tommy g]

I have both slim and new 360 :rasp:. 360's better thou online but ps3 is good for big screen p**n and bluerays.

Still got the progress threads mate. Have a look through my started threads and it should be near the top. Iv'e got a big update for the golf but im being lazy to upload the pics. The saxo's in storage at bruntingthorpe atm until i get this unit. I've seen the detail mate it looks cracking. What parts have you got to go on?

 

[Gally]

Brand new suspension, badges, grilles, mud flaps and rear guards, new interior mats, bushes few other bits and bots. And a really good detail, got some new products to try out.

 

[Curtis!]

[tommy g]

Last time i heard atari are making bikes dlc

 

[Gally]

Mudflaps?

My ex girlfriend had mudflaps.

They suit the car, they don't suit a lot of cars.

looks sh*t to be fair, arcade handling & graphics with a 'The Sims' bolt-on.

So are you saying you won't be buying it?

 

[sbridgey]

wouldn't pay for the game its not to bad for free though and i agree with sims bolt on

just found an awesome dirt road at the south of the map that was quite fun, the graphics remind me of GTA 4 for some reason

 

[Gareth]

no wonder its gone straight in on Steam with £10 off.

 

[Christopher]

Ugh. Do not want.

Disappointing.

 

[Gareth]

So are you saying you won't be buying it?

correct

 

[Krispwee]

I enjoyed the first one but this feels like Need For Speed. Just worse. Uninstalled.

 

[Wilkeh]

Not worth buying then? I was gonna nip up Argos on Friday and pick this up?

+1

Cant believe how much of a slating this game is getting

 

[Cookie]

LOL at the haters.. it's like TDU 1.5, which is all I wanted/was expecting

 

[Silent_Scone]

I think most people have only played the first 5 minutes, just doing the off-roading and it's ace fun. It was never going to be realistic so saying "urgh, it's well arcade" is a bit duh..

Cars sound authentic, look authentic, graphically it's better than Forza if you crank everything up, loads of variety in challenges, fairly big car list.. The only thing which gets on my nerves is the draw distance but that's probably a by-product of poor porting from the xbox version

It's not a racing sim, but I thought that would of been obvious

 

[Christopher]

It looks three years out of date from what I've seen.

 

[Cookie]

I'm playing it on the PC, looks purdy

 

[Christopher]

The footage I've seen is from PC... lol

 

[Cookie]

Not all PC's are created equal

 

[Silent_Scone]

Chris you willy, take into account it is basically a MMO for most accounts - so with the netcode that needs to be implemented + the size of the world.. it's not going to look like it just jumped out of 2015.. I think it looks nice tbf!

 

[jenic]

Mine came today on the Xbox, got about an hour in.

Its a good game so far, its what i expected it to be. It looks slightly better than the first, the handling is slightly better but still no where near forza level. Thing is thats not what the game is about, its about the whole huge island, and the variety of challenges you do rather than just racing on a track.

I like it anyway, and if you enjoyed the first one you'll enjoy this, but if your looking for a sharp handling racing game your better off getting forza, if your wanting something more arcadey then this fits the bill imo.

 

[Gally]

Is it a bit like PGR handling? Easy drifting ect...?

 

[Rob_]

Out officially tomorrow and still no reviews for it hmmmmmmmm dodgy

 

[The Ironist]

Got mine today (xbox), will have a go later.

 

[jenic]

Is it a bit like PGR handling? Easy drifting ect...?

Not quite like PGR but very easy to get the back end out.

Its fun, rather than serious.

 

[The Ironist]

Mike want to online it later?

 

[wozzaa]

Put about an hour into it so far and really enjoying it. Got it on the 360, thought about getting it on the PC then came to the conclusion more people will buy this on a console. So worth it for the MMO part to get it on a console.

 

[The Ironist]

Online later?

I'm only starting now so will have rubbish car.

Intro vid is awesome!

 

[Brazo]

FPMSL! Touche 'ol boy!

D.

Out officially tomorrow and still no reviews for it hmmmmmmmm dodgy

There were two reviews on metacritic this am 85 and 80

 

[The Ironist]

is there a way to change your character appearance?

 

[jenic]

Not tried online yet.

Anyone found a dealer that sells honda's yet?

 

[The Ironist]

I like the handling with all assists off.

Eurogamer review has been out since Tuesday poppet

 

[Rob_]

Yeah wheres the reviews from the other usual 10+ sites

 

[The Ironist]

Offroad is pretty rubbish so far. Got all 3 starter licenses. Not done any tarmac ones or whatever they're called.

 

[st3ve]

The comments in here backup my thoughts on this, I was so close to buying it but was a bit unsure with there being no reviews and the fact I'm still playing GT5, this thread has just made helped me make a decision not to buy it lol.

It does look pretty cack tbh.
