The first thing i noticed was the handling is slightly different. They don't understate dangerous curves and I've found a timing scheme that works just great.Ĭlick to expand.I picked up WRCG yesterday too. Never, so far, have I blamed the co-driver for any of my crashes so far. I got the feeling at times in DR1 and Dirt 4 that the co-driver was trying to kill us. One more good thing: pace notes and co-driver are among the best I've experienced. We'll see if it gets old while going through the career mode. But my butt clinches every time I'm about to hit one of those rocks b/c you expect a huge audible "DONK" and judder through the wheel, but then you get nothing. You get some gravel feel and pebble sound. My only complaint with WRC9 is lacking any audio or FFB when running over large rocks on stage. I remember DR2 being better, but that fact doesn't detract from my enjoyment. Really immersive and with good changing weather effects. But, now when I go back to WRC9, and not immediately after DR2 like when I tested both, the graphics look great. Hoping to pick up Generations sometime next week. It's become my goto rally game over the last couple of years. Long challenging and varied to keep you interested all the way through. FF is aceptable, sound is a bit meh but the stages are just exceptional. I prefer the cleaner look graphics, the handling is decent enough and much better on tarmac than the DR games. WRC9 is my goto (I tried 10 but wasn't keen on some of the handling changes and it had many more of those performance niggles the games are renowned for). On the other hand i've become quite a fan of the later WRC games. The stages are quite laboroius and fairly unremarkable, the handling wasn't as raw and i just felt the experience quite underwhelming compared to the original. DR2 had the content in bucketloads and a lot of nice new features but despite many efforts I just didn't click with it. I loved DR1, in fact it's still installed and i play it regularly - I just wish it had more content. But I just couldn't see myself playing DR2 without ending every session frustrated.Ĭlick to expand.Nice to hear some someone with the same experiece as me. If I play it for 10 hours, it won't have been time wasted. WRC9 has worse graphics - though still pretty good, wider tracks, a better career system, nice challenges. I can't imagine doing these stages over and over again. I was in slow cars to start, but how frustrating to be in rally monsters and averaging 40 MPH. Long story short, DR2 is gone from my hard drive. The fact that we have to download 4 seasons of DLC that we may never buy is totally egregious. So much practicing for events and so much repetition that I couldn't stand another stage and even quit the series early.įirst, WTF is up with the DR2 download size?!!? 110 GB vs. Sidebar - I got completely burned out on DR1 doing the RD rally league. I figured I'd do a side-by-side with DR2 since I had a steam key lying around from a humble bundle or something. With Amazon giving out WRC 9 for free, I couldn't help but try it out, though I haven't played much serious rally racing since investing a LOT of time in Dirt Rally 1.0.
