I think I'm ready to give up on this game. For the second time now it won't recognize my saved games. All my purchased designs and DLC are still there, my club is still there as is the car I put in my club garage but my level has been reset to 0 and I'm back at the intro race. This is just ridiculous.

The hard drive on your xbox might be screwing up. Have you tried putting your save in cloud storage?

I haven't bothered yet. It hasn't worked on multiple flash drives. It's getting pretty frustrating but I guess it's worth a shot. I'll try setting it up next time I'm on I suppose.

It reminds me of some of the race tracks in the Northeastern part of the u.s., which are covered in forest.

I'd love a racing game with nothing but Ferrari's in it, but I've bought games like this a zillion times, and ever since Forza entered the scene, quality of the driving simulation trumps everything else.

My lack of overall car knowledge and poor racing skills have made me reluctant to join. I don't want to ruin anyone's race haha.

Speedtek can attest to how great I did on the Rampage challenger rival race (hoo boy)

Use the XB Ford Falcon. In stock form it drifts amazingly well. It's so floaty but with a fair bit of power and it just never looses the back end.

Allright I had to stop after getting a time of 2:00.373 anymore and I would have broken my controller in my rage. The Dodge Challenger has the worst handling and braking. I'll probably take a stab at it again tonight but GODDAMN.

My best time is 1:56.571 (which i think was a clean lap) and i can't top it so far. It's the most frustrating challenge ever because that car sucks as is and me and Laguna have a long history of not getting along

As long as you've got a gold Live account, you should get it. If not, I'd email Turn 10 to see if there's an issue.

That sounds like they invalidated your save. I've read they've went kinda scorched earth about "dirty" hacked credits, even flagging or invalidating people's saves for having a car purchased with dirty credits, regardless if you weren't involved in the creation of "dirty" credits.

That's goddamn annoying. It happened 3 loving times.

Just a reminder that you have until Wednesday to set a time in the King of the Track event. Rampage hasn't bothered to try posting a new time, so 1:51.674 is still what you have to beat to get a unicorn Camaro SS.

gently caress. I'm at 1:58 still. I really don't want to do that challenge again. gently caress that car in every way.

Now you only need to get nine more to finish out that badge set in your profile. Isn't that a comforting thought? :q:

Of course with my luck I'll probably be one short and never get that badge either.

I'm REALLY glad I'm not concerned with those. I am not a good racer and there are probably tons of slots that won't get filled.

However.....

I got a police badge and a "Five-O" title. My gamertag is SheriffKevin. I'm set.

I'm not-so-secretly hoping for something completely off the wall like the Renault Espace F1 or a Chevy Astro van, especially since the gimmicky Fords like the Pinto and Country Squire have unironically become the most interesting cars in the game.

When was the last time you watched it? It's gotten much better since the beginning of the first season. Still not a huge fan of Adam Ferrara though.

I'm still not sure I enjoy their reviews, but the challenges are quite entertaining. They've definitely stepped their game up.

The career mode is just a bunch of random events strung together without any cohesion using different cars for every race which negates any real sense of ownership.

I actually kind of like this though. It seems the clubs do a fine job of setting up their own races/leagues ect. The random career races make you use different cars and classes that lots of players might otherwise not use. Someone like myself who isn't as familiar with cars might not ever choose a Lancia or a Renault or a Peugeot but in order to complete all the races in career mode, we might have to. If forces the casual gamer to play outside the box a bit and not just choose a Viper or an M5.
