If you do not care how the cars handle, play racing games with your keyboard, and your experience with cars consists of public transport or driving an automatic commuting to and from work/school then the crew may be right up your alley.

Very epic condescension over extremely innocuous poo poo going on in this post. Well done goon.

It's not blatantly arcadey enough to be fun in the way say Wipeout, SCUD race, Initial D, and Ridge Racer are.
It doesn't have enough sim-style components to be fun in the way sim/arcade fusions like Dirt, Grid, Forza, Sega GT, Project Gotham, and Gran Turismo are.

There's nothing wrong with people who do that, I'm just saying the game was not made for people who enjoy certain aspects of the driving experience. It's apples and oranges. In fact it's probably a good business decision to make the game far more accessible for keyboard and/or gamepad users. Most average joe people who have a passing interest in cars will probably enjoy the crew.

You'll find most people, including myself, mostly drive automatics to and from work and poo poo like that. Sorry.

There's no need to apologize for the reality of the situation. There's something about the handling that feels off compared to Forza and Gran Turismo that the majority of people won't even care about.

No way.I switched to manual years ago and it is a better experience.The only drawback is the steep learning curve, but it is entirely rewarding.

City/traffic driving with a manual transmission blows chunks for sure. Also if you live in a place that has no twisting/back roads at all. Compared to that poo poo The Crew is the most fun thing ever invented.

Burnout Paradise was the best "car game" so far, to me. If I want a realistic driving experience I'll just go get in my car and curse at rush hour traffic like I do most days.

So is the complaint that it's an "arcade" racer and not a "sim" racer?
The complaint is that it's neither. The handling is unrealistic in ways that aren't fun, as opposed to Burnout games, where the handling is unrealistic in ways that ARE fun. Cars aren't supposed to feel this heavy, drifts aren't supposed to be this hard to get out of.


Let me put it this way: I had an easier time getting the car where I wanted it to be in Richard Burns Rally - a hardcore sim - than in The Crew. That's hosed up. That's making a game feel more simmy than a sim and I don't like it.

the reason why gun nerds get angry over films being dumb about firearms is because the people who write gun laws write them based on those films

You say this because the vast majority of your roads are probably boring. There's nothing like rowing through the gears, even in a lovely car when the roads are twisty.

I picked up a copy of Richard Burns rally on thread recommendation. Also Moto Racer because I enjoyed playing that as a kid, wasn't much to it but it was fun.

Anyone got any love for Big Red Racing? Another racer I played as a child and adored. I think it was one of the first PCCD games we had.

Richard Burns Rally owns but it's a bit dated and that one french mod that's supposed to update it is a pain in the rear end to get going.

There's a few car games I play depending on what I wanna do:

- Assetto Corsa if I wanna be a sim racing tryhard
- Dirt 3 if I wanna feel like a rally badass with minimal effort and maximum graphics
- Distance if I wanna play a half baked Rush 2049 that looks like Tron 2
- Euro Truck Simulator 2 if I wanna deliver poo poo leisurely while listening to podcasts
- Spintires if I wanna deliver poo poo through mud and get frustrated when I get stuck
- BeamNG.drive if I wanna smash cars up
- Next Car Game if I wanna smash cars up and still enjoy the driving

They're all certified Good Car Games but I mostly just play Assetto Corsa because mods in that game are :krad:

Oh, I got ALL the love for Big Red Racing. I've yet to play a more varied racing game, and the best part is, most vehicles felt really fun to drive! :waycool:
