Dirt Rally 2.0 |OT| Prepare to DrIvE
- Thread starter janusff
- Start date
That's what I had from 2014 to 2017, but I had the 599xx rim and Pro pedals (they're not great either compared to even the cheapest load cell pedals on the market). Great wheel for what I paid back then new, which was far less than it is now.
this has always been my frustration with the championship, which unfortunately is what I enjoy most about these games. Just seems random
I´m really enjoying the game right now but yeah this AI does not work at all.
Gonna finish this one and then will try again with group A or R5 again and see how it goes.
Daily/weekly/monthly challenges give good rewards, get on that.
i wish i could gift you some. i own every car, i've upgraded and maxxed out many of them (the ones i drive), and have a fully upgraded staff. i have millions to burn. i never got the achievements for owning all the group b and a cars, perhaps i should rebuy them all. lol
as mentioned, the dailies/weeklies/monthlies will get you some good amount if you do them regularly
i have several that just wont pop. kind of frustrating, though i dont care much.

That would irritate the hell out of me Lol. Hate it when that happens. Though I gave up on getting the plat. That Polo spain challenge broke me. Guess I coulda lowered the difficulty though.

"Win a rally event in Spain driving the Volkswagen Polo GTI R5"
its showing for me (west coast US) in game from the "store" menu. already got the 100 jump cheevo too!

damn - I'm a sucker for Christmas DLC. It's like Christmas NiGHTS but rally. I'm in.
so, uh, i get the idea behind having a way to get people who havent bought additional content to perhaps invest after playing the open to all festive challenges... but there is literally nothing new to those that have it. i guess i expected *something. lit up tress with xmas lights? but its just regular events, opened to all, with one offering a new (ugly) christmas themed livery, and another (likely ugly) christmas livery (for a shitty car) for those that can make top 10%?
i guess i expected too much. i love this game, i just want more and something to brag about.

I bought this game yesterday but I'm considering a refund before my 2 hours is up on Steam. Something about it feels super off, although I can't put my finger on what. It's not the difficulty either, as not routinely strolling to wins as soon as you start is easily my favourite thing about Codemasters games in general (especially Dirt and the F1 games). I dunno, something about the visuals and the games structure, such as seemingly having loads of cars available from the off, didn't sit right with me. The first game feels so streamlined and focused by comparison, although that's a bit of a fluffy description..
Is it worth sticking with? Is the consensus of this game strongly in favour of it being better than the first and I'm just having a jarring initial impression?

I don't know. Tbh with you if the game doesn't feel great at the start then maybe you should refund? I thought it felt fantastic as soon as I started playing.
In regards to all the cars available, it can be a bit overwhelming deciding which car to chose and unfortunately, it is a trial and error type of method in choosing a car that you like driving. But all these hours later, I only drive like 4 of em?
It depends - generally people feel the handling is improved over the first and the visuals are pretty clearly better. I think the stage design is a little worse compared to 1, but all of the 1 tracks are available now if that's an issue. I also think the messed up the difficulty in the career mode.
But Eurogamer for example - who I definitely trust including if not particularly with respect to sim racers - felt it's not just their finest rally game, but their finest driving game.
If you've put in almost two hours and aren't feeling it though, I'd refund - that's a pretty representative slice of the game.
Thank you both.
I think I can pin my main 3 issues down to a bit of confusion about how Career Mode worked, the visuals looking jarringly blurry and "off", and being a bit overwhelmed by the UI and the cars available right from the start.
I've read up about career, found some tips on visual performance (which seems to have been a common complaint) and can handle the available cars, so I'm going to persist.

Yeah I never really dabbled with career mode that much it's really the dailies and weeklies is where it's at I've found. You get good amount of credits and the "you only get one shot at this" aspect adds some levity to it all. Have fun!
Career modes in DiRT Rally games are just... odd. They probably shouldn't even call them that. Your comment about the UI is well-taken too, and both of these issues are so strange given DiRT 3 had incredible takes on BOTH of those.
Be interested to hear your further impressions in here... despite this thread only being populated by 10 or so people lol, we're generally all checking it!
Really glad I stuck with the game now. Took some time to properly dig around things, especially the visuals, and I'm really enjoying the game now. Got it running nearly flawless 60fps at 3840x2160 and mostly high settings, and it looks fantastic. TAA was the big offender as to why I thought the game looked so off. Did they just botch the implementation there? It honestly looks like someone has just smudged a wet wipe across the screen. I've turned it straight off.
TAA isn't all that bad in combination with some image sharpening applied to it, no idea why they don't offer it ingame (not the only devs to do this and i don't know how this is still a thing 5 or more years after TAA got popular, not really a problem on pc thanks to reshade and recently even driver options but poor console players :-/)
um, more seasons????
holy crap if true! best racer ever keeps getting better. yes codemasters, i'll continue to throw money your way for more content. how about some of the missing major WRC rallies? maybe the 2020 rally japan and kenya?

when you're 72nd in the world, deep into a monthly challenge, and just set a green split time(!) and, because you are sitting a meter in front of the TV wearing headphones, the wife decides she needs to ask me a simple question and hovers in my peripheral vision staring at me until i lose all concentration and fuck it all up at 120 mph.

oh damn just saw that tweet. spring 2020 with more content huh? wew.

After some months not playing I got the itch and bought season 3 and 4. Have they fixed the clubman difficulty? I remember that the open was a walk in the park and clubman was hell on earth.
wish i could tell you - once i started playing the dailies/weeklies/monthlies, i never went back to career
wrc is on sale for 34.99 on the microsoft store.... i really want to bite, but i'm still playing so much DR 2.0 i'm not sure i'd really get into it
EDIT: fuck it, i bought it. will be nice to have crazy long and varied stages, real teams and drivers, and some team management, at the very least :)
EDIT: (+) much more sim handling then i expected, ( - ) twitchy as fuck steering on a controller. ugh, hope theres a fix

xbox. i found some settings on reddit i'll give a shot. otherwise, this seems like a pretty great game - does a far better job of replicating real rally than DR does

when you are up against crash team racing for racing game of the year... this industry can be so stupid.
