Fuck it man, just dive in. I think it could be fun on a casual level. Trick might be to find the car you enjoy driving most and you can just set up custom events and not bother with the campaign (like I did). Also it's fun playing dailies.
On that note you should get the deluxe cause simply put, half the game is locked away with it at this point. And there's some good content there too, I ended up maining the Citroen in the class 2000scc and it's a DLC car.
It's kinda shitty but yeah if you got the base game, there's so much content locked away. So I say dive in with the deluxe cause it's a great game.

Yeah and there's no do overs so you got one chance at it. Has leaderboards. There's several a day. Also there's weeklies that have multiple stages and monthly's that have multiple events.
That's pretty awesome actually. Hmm I think I'm going to bite. $31 isn't expensive and it seems like a good time.
we also do (did?) our own community events.
still interest here? - its been silent on that front since our last

I'm always down. Set something up some time and I'll ping folks >:)
Probably wanna start with a really low level car. Mini Cooper is always a safe bet. Faster the car ~ higher the championship difficulty essentially.
It´s up on PSN at least, €25 for the S3/S4 pass and €50 for the S1/S2/S3/S4 bundled together.
Going to buy the S1/S2 for €12.99 for now.
Wales looks so good in DR2.0, it's a massive upgrade from the first DR. Just took a few shots

the lighting in this game is pretty remarkable. good hdr support too.
How's the track deformation in this game? I really loved the implementation in Sega Rally Revo and everything else has paled in comparison. Forza Horizon 4 has a very basic implementation but it doesn't seem to really affect gameplay at all.
Might be better to start with the R2 class or the R5 and adjust the speed and flow to the pace notes and then when you feel comfortable move to faster cars.
Enjoy the game :)
huh, can't seem to find it on NA PSN. I'm only interested in S3, but I assume you can't buy them separately
I have to say I haven't really noticed it from a gameplay perspective - it's certainly nothing as dramatic as Revo. It's definitely visually there, but mileage may vary on whether it has any implications for cornering etc.
i dont believe its real time, the stages seem to just load at predetermined levels of degradation. whats there is good though. easy to see and has a pretty significant impact on driving.
EDIT: i should add there likely IS some sort of visuals for tire marks. i wouldnt know playing first person and not racing directly against other cars. my response above was focused on the much toted degradation system
Taken from the latest roadbook
again though, i dont think its real time as the poster implied with sega rally. i'd love to be proven wrong though - i just havent noticed

Can´t say for sure how it works. Just mentioned the Codies page because it has the full details coming from them. If it's really how it works i´m not sure.
Nice! I'd also recommend spending some time outside the car while you're getting to grips with it so you can see how the cars behave on different surfaces
i'm still not seeing it, microsoft store for xbox one. what platform are you guys on?
found it for xbox
i hope DR2.0 has been successful for them and we get a next gen 3.0 as their next project

Seems like season 3 and 4 are an encouraging sign. I think their games never blow the doors of sales wise but they do a ton of sales constantly so I'm sure they all have legs.
i dont mean to discourage you but i find it easier with the pad than a wheel :P
Well that was odd. I am in my late 40s and have been playing the Dirt games all my adult life starting with the original Colin Mcrae. Today I received an email from Codemasters asking me to take part in a survey to help them shape their future off-road games ('your opinions matter to us'). I figured I would take part since I have a genuine love for the games and have some views about how they could improve. The first question asked me for my age bracket so I selected the late 40s one. The response was quite shocking: "Sorry, you did not qualify for this survey". Codemasters is based 15 miles from me and I have always supported their driving games at full price even though I know a sale will follow very quickly. If this ageism is genuine then no more.
That might just mean they've completed data collection for your demographic bracket. Some surveys cap at certain numbers and mandate specific demographic contributions.
Don't have experience with that issue but racenet was a mess at launch. I'm not surprised it messed up with cloud saves and multiple consoles. I would look on the CM forums
The survey was issued to my inbox at 8.00 this morning and I replied to it almost instantly. I find it hard to believe that there was a rush of over 45s completing the survey this morning. It seems likely to me that Dirt 2.0 hasn't really achieved the sales that Codemaster's wanted and they want to see what their younger demographic would like out of their games. When configuring their survey they could have been more respectful to people who have been supporting their games all these years. I hope they are succesful in their endeavour since this old fogie will no longer be buying their games

never tried them. should i? honestly not that into sim racers. I love these games and gt sport somehow managed to scratch that itch. maybe i should give it a shot.
Doesn't make any sense to me. The over 40 guys feel disrespected and it's free data about your customers You could always just toss the data later without anyone knowing. Sure, you stole someone's time then, but they will never know it was wasted.
Very weird.
Would you like to tell us, what changes and direction you would have advocated?

I mean surveys can come out in waves. But whatever, if you're upset, fair enough. But let CM know them.
They're really well reviewed - eurogamer's take here. I tried one once and couldn't get into it because, as with f1, seemed like there's a lot of stuff to do outside of just racing. But f1 fans are apparently in heaven right now - the reviews read like these are the best f1 games ever.
You can if it's within a couple weeks and haven't played it much. Just contact support.
A decent career structure is one thing that I would add. Maybe not to the level that seems to coming to Grid but something that is a little more involving that what was on offer in Dirt Rally 2.0
I am not sure of the value of the Rallycross licence, indeed the entire format of that series bores me to tears. Would prefer to the see the investment on Rallycross directed towards special stages. The absence of special stages has always felt quite heavy on the Dirt Rally games.
Favour daytime for most of the stages and add more times of day when the stages are held. Night stages should not be as frequent as they currently are.
I tried it with wreckfest and they told me no, and that was ike a day later.
I've played them a bit, and on paper I think they do a lot of things right. the way they force you to practice on a track before a race makes sure you actually know how to tackle each track, and the AI feels much better to race against than other sim games I've tried. And the driving model also seems fine.
But I just find them so exhausting to play. Between practice, qualifying, and lengthy races, each event takes at least an hour or two, or even more if you want to play with longer race times (which I feel like I should because shorter races don't feel right to me). And that's a huge time commitment. Granted you don't have to do all of that in a single play session, but if I don't then I'll forget what I've learned in practice by the time I play qualifications and the actual race.
