Dirt 2 Discussion Thread

[Detronix]

Installed and played the game today. First of all I want to say I absolutely LOVED Dirt 1, am a big fan of racing games and have played most of the popular rally racing games. Now, coming onto Dirt 2: the visuals are dead gorgeous! It's nice to see how Codies have optimized the game for PCs. I have a 4670 and am playing it with everything high and 4MSAA. I think it's the best looking rally racer I have played.

Now here's the bad part: what the **** is wrong with Codies exactly? The handling SUCKS BALLS! No way a car would feel SO LIGHT on a surface like that! Dirt 1 had a better damage and handling system I'd say. It seems like the car doesn't even have weight, it's just too damn light, keeps floating around like a boat. I am sure many guys will agree with me on this point.

I'd say NFS: Shift handles better than Dirt 2. It seems like they spent all their time in justifying the DX11 visuals bull shit and made a game for rookies. I am disappointed.

I created an account here just to say I totally agree!

I really think you are playing the wrong game. Richard Burns Rally is the game for you.

I say this because you nailed it on the head with the cars feeling light and floaty comment. You won't have the same problem in RBR.
