    The PC Thread V2

    Yeah that's why I only have the one SSD as I think I'd end up spending more time uninstalling and installing games rather than playing them. I tend to only have my more demanding games on the SSD my older games get to sit on the HDD for when I play them

    The Game Thread!

    I don't think there's enough changes to warrant buying the new FIFA at launch given it's another £50 though I am tempted (so may end up caving like I did with F1 2019 though it was mostly the driver transfer system that convinced me there) as whilst Volta looks fun I don't think I'll be enjoying it that much given I'm not really a tricks and flicks person but the new career mode changes sound interesting but like with things like the F1 games and the press in the F1 game it might get repetitive after a while. I do like the new character creator system they've added though as I can see that helping to add some roleplaying options to help mix things up. I've certainly got a few ideas in which I might do so time will tell though. In other news recently bought the Control game not played it yet but it looks cool and interesting with the telekinetic powers and stuff you can wield.

    Patch Notes for 1.09 – Discussion Thread

    Probably for the same reason why we always have had these yearly franchises like Fifa as well. MONEY So long as people keep buying them they will keep making them

    Well you know EA they don't like spending more money than they have too. 😛

    Apparently they've added a new party mode game for Fifa 20 called mystery ball it looks kind of interesting and fun. Here's a vid explaining it

    You can in Championships mode just not in career. I've kind of put my career on hold atm as I don't like the wet AI. It was OK at launch al be it a bit slow but now they've made it too fast which has screwed everything up imo.

    AI in the wet - all circuits

    I thought it was fine at launch although the AI were at times a little too slow but given it's far easier to make mistakes in the wet by pushing too hard because the AI are too fast now they need to bring the speed back down again. I think it only needed a minor adjustment to speed them up but it felt like they did a major one which has ended up I think screwing the whole game up

    AI in the wet - all circuits

    Yeah I play at 35% at most tracks I only tend to drop it right down at Monaco as I can handle the AI jus t fine in the dry at that level but since the wet pace has been changed I'm not only struggling with the AI but the practice programs as well and like the AI I can usually do fine and pass them in the dry. Kind of make career a bit pointless if you can't pass them or you don't feel like you can pass them because the objectives are just too high regardless of whether it's in the wet or dry.

    Do you listen to music when you play DiRT?

    No I don't listen t oany music when I'm gaming as I prefer to hear the sounds of the game I'm playing.

    Do you play RPG's? I've not played either of the Destiny games but given it's an MMO and most MMO's work best if you approach them in an RPG fashion it might be best to approach the game in a similar fashion.

    The Game Thread!

    Must admit it looks like they've done a good job with the CC for Fifa 20 using it for Volta and for career will be good fun. Still not sure I'll buy it at launch as I'm not sure the changes are worth £50 but my stance on the game is softening a little bit. I'm still not sure I'll play it as much as 17, 18 and 19 though as I think I'll prefer the Journey over this Volta mode. The only good thing about the Volta mode is the fact our protag is completely customisable whereas Alex was not (at least not beyond his hair and clothes). It's more that for me I prefer the professional game than street football as I can't do the tricks and flicks very well. I do like the idea that at least they've done another story mode in the Volta thing though. I'm just not sure how good it will be in the end though given I don't follow street football. I think they did well with the Journey trilogy though as I really enjoy playing as Alex Danny and Kim so there is hope.

    Patch Notes for 1.09 – Discussion Thread

    Yeah they need to fix the AI in rain as I think it's also screwed up the practice programs as well. It's one of he reasons why I came away from the game as they adjusted it too much and it was frustrating me. Whilst yeah they were a tad slow at launch but now they're far too quick. But I'd rather them be too slow than like this given that it's far easier to make a mistake in the wet going too quick than in the dry. Which in my opinion just makes the game unnecessarily too hard. I do like the game and I feel they've done a good job with it but changing the AI as much as they have in the wet was a mistake.

    Must admit the changes FIFA are making to career mode do sound interesting but I'm not sure it's worth paying full price for though. Whilst I can see myself getting it now to explore the changes I can only see it happening when it comes down in price. It probably won't be a launch purchase anyway.

    AI in the wet - all circuits

    Yes I think so but it could have been with 1.05 as that's when the AI were changed.
  15. sjsharp2010

    AI in the wet - all circuits

    I don't think it's jus the AI that are screwed I think it's possible that the Practice programs are as well as I seem to be struggling to meet them in the wet and usually I find them easier

    AI in the wet - all circuits

    Yeah I'm thinking if I end up with a wet session I'll just drop the AI down 5 points to give myself a bit more of a chance of fighting them.
  17. sjsharp2010

    AI in the wet - all circuits

    Yeah I think originally they were too slow in the wet but now they're probably in general a tad too fast just did a wet Baku race and they kind of left me for dead. I don't think I necessarily hadthe best setup for the race but I just couldn't keep up with them.

    Just started my career on 2019 but I'm only at Australia but it's been interesting so far I joined Toro Rosso Butler's gone to Renault and Weber ended up at Alfa Romeo after I completed the F2 bit. Took a few attempts to do given the game chose to crash 3 times for some reason. I've only driven the first practice session so far but I' m hoping to get in and do some proper racing later now that I'm back in familiar territory I did enjoy the F2 bit though and I'm looking forward taking on Butler and Weber in F1.

    The Game Thread!

    I know what you mean I've still got a few games in my backlog that I'm still yet to play. I'm hoping to get to one or 2 of them soon though but I want to get a career underway on F1 2019 first because with careers I kind of let myself drift in and out of them because they can take a while to finish so I kind of just do a season or 2 every now and then. I tend to do the same with Fifa as well but I plan to soon play Assassin's Creed Odyssey and the remake of Resident Evil 2 as I have those in my library but I also plan on playing Shadow of the TR again so I can play through the DLC's as I got the Croft Edition which gave me the season pass I just haven't got round to playing them. I've played the main game once but I thought I'd save the DLC's for a second run once they were all out and now they are I'd like to do them. I heard they were short but I thought the fact I'll be playing them together combined with the fact I'm quite a slow player anyway I don' think it will matter much. Plus with games I enjoy I tend to want to play more than once anyway and I have to admit I did enjoy my first run of Shadow. I am kind of intrigued by what kind of driver transfers I'll get though once I start on F1 2019

    Is Time Trial Redundant?

    I only use time trial for a bit of practice sometimes as a kind of winter test mode where I just do a few laps in a car I plan on racing next in career mode. I don't care too much for bragging rights.

    I actually find them more aggressive after the patch as they were really bashing me around in Hungary but then that was in wet conditions so it might have been the improved wet pace just catching me out because in my first F2 championship they were really slow. Strange your suffering from stuttering as it's been running nice and smooth on my system and better than the last 2 games. I did suffer a lot of that on 2017 though although since I've switched from Windows 7 to 10 the stuttering seems to have gone.

    So has anyone had any weird transfers in their careers yet? I've not started mine yet but I'm looking forward to seeing how mine plays out.

    Yeah apparently it's getting released on PC soon.

    Not sure you can once you've started no as it' all part of the profile setup.

    Career number 1

    Yeah I saw that and that's what I meant if you say yes to that It should automatically appear on the car once you win the championship.
