Sacrificial Toast posted:I bought this during Early Access, crashed a bunch in the Mini Cooper, then finally started getting the hang of things....and then I bought a Lancia Stratos. I did the same thing with an Escort.  Then I got an 80's M3 and just skipped everything to R4. Haven't played in a while though so I may start following along the thread and go back to the basics. /edit: Hey Joe, are you using manual or auto? And one more question, from the input hud, which one is the handbrake? Edmond Dantes fucked around with this message at 16:27 on Mar 26, 2016 |

I noticed   Being Finnish is cheating.  Joking aside, you can use any car but only get the upgrades you have during career mode on League events; that's kinda weird. I used my Mini since I had all upgrades for it and none for the Lancia since I had never used it.

Triple A posted:I'd say the Fulvia is outright worse than the Mini. It's slightly bigger with a worse power-band and with 200 extra kilos for an extra 15 horses, it's power to weight ratio is not very good either. Ah, I wasn't using the car as an excuse, I just suck at this game.  Just thought it was kinda weird; if I ever sign up for a league I don't have a car for I could be going against people with fully upgraded cars. Not sure how much of an advantage that would be, especially considering if I don't have single car for a certain class that means I don't have practise in that class, but it feels like a bit of an oversight.

Shine posted:If you're into rally and in particular want a hardcore sim experience, then it's a no brainer purchase. If you prefer arcadey rally then Dirt 3 can be had for cheap. And even if you're not, I'd recommend you at least give it a try; I'm not really a fun of racing games and the few I actually like are arcadey as gently caress (Burnout Paradise), but for some reason I gave this a try and it really clicked with me; even the first few times I got on a course and kept wrapping my car around trees because I was attempting to drive "NFS-style". It's just plain fun. /edit: remember, at the start, just focus on not crashing.

Ahahaha oh god I suck so much at RWD cars. I'm going to have to practise before even attempting the League stages or I'm going to DNF all of them via car-around-tree-wrapping. I actually skipped over a whole lot of classes when I started making my way through the game; I managed to finish a championship with the mini, considered myself "graduated" from the 60's and went ahead and got me a nice Escort Mk2.... which I spun out as soon as I crossed the start line into a tree. It didn't get better from there, I don't think I ever managed to finish an event, by the second stage the car was so banged up it was an even worst nightmare to drive. Someone in the thread suggested I try the 80s RWDs since they were a bit more friendly than the 70's monsters and I got through a championship with the BMW E30, but then I jumped to 4WDs (the R4 Impreza WRX2011, which I love) and haven't gone back to try other classes, since this is the first time I'm noticing I'm getting better bit by bit. Having the league is really nice since I'm getting to try the different handling styles even though I suck at it, but hey, we're here to learn, right?

I'm making my way through a 1970's tournament with the Fiat 131 (I find it waaaay easier to handle than the Stratos, don't judge me). Following Joe's advice on the very first video I've been taking it really slow, just focusing on not loving up (and trying to keep that god drat tail from lashing out too much), and while I feel like I'm going slower than I usually go with the R4 Impreza, I'm actually finishing top 3 every stage. What's more, I'm usually below the split for most segments, the times I don't finish first it's because I messed up at some point and ended up losing 10 seconds trying to get back on track. So, it's been said, but it bears repeating: for better times, go slow.

Great Joe posted:I'm really glad that my tips are helping you out, Edmond! As I've said, this LP is all about self improvement, and I hope that you'll soon get that first place in your Impreza. I had a few of the basics down (hah!), but seeing you taking it easy (and from the outside the car cam instead of helmet) and especially the comment about taking hairpins at 2nd or lower gear gave me a good speed baseline to aim for, and once I started taking the turns properly things just clicked into place. Now just gotta keep practising so I don't come in last on the league.
