If the game lives up to these vids then I'm excited. I want one of these rally games to be good in the worst way. Dirt 1 absolutely sucked imo. Last weekend I was weeding out all my games Ill never play again so I reinstalled Dirt thinking maybe its not as bad as I thought...its worse, so much worse, its gone. I'm craving a good rally racer. I love rally racers. Its my favorite genre and it barely exists. My fingers are crossed.

Any reason why you totally trashed the game without explanation?

Horrible physics. Cars have absolutely no weighty feel. That Center pivot steering thing that every Codemasters game has to some degree. Really bad graphics overall. There are a couple exceptions that stand out tho. The Trucks and rails are very decent...they completely stand out from the rest of Dirt. Come on man, you actually think Dirt is a good representation of offroad racing? Whats it trying to be? Its horrible as an arcade and never even comes close to a sim. It is Codies worst effort to date, IMO, mainly because I was expecting so much more. Every Codemasters racer ever made, Ive owned, all the ToCA/race drivers and CMRs. Codies always has something in every game that keeps me coming back. Ill buy Dirt 2 without a doubt because I know there will be a gem in that game as there is with all their games, with Dirt is was to a much lesser degree,IMO.

Loving everything about the game so far, will wait and see how MP is before judging though.

And really into the song they are using for their trailers. They Say - Scars on Broadway (for Spotify users)

Let's f*** the world with all it's trend, they say it's all about to end...:cool:

Why is the 360 upside down :blink: Either that or the video is mirrored.

Edit: it can't be mirrored actually. His shirt is the correct way round.

Edit 2: stadium looks good, not a lot of dirt being kicked up though :/

    • The Microsoft Office feature that time forgot

      The original word arts were far more awesome! With their own preconfigured fill patterns, 3D layout, etc, with options to fine-tune their size and colors as desired. I especially loved the ones circled below and still miss them from my primary school years: I frankly use them less these days 'cause the new one isn't as straightforward fine art as what we originally had, taking time and effort to get back to the same graphics quality as the original offered, which I simply don't have enough of for merely fine-tuning my presentation titles. Same with the built-in picarts selection. Bring back the original pre-configured options for word art then I'll be using them far more frequently in my presentations even today.
    • Why you need to take back control of your synced passwords and how to go about doing that

      By +Good Bot, Bad Bot · Posted

      What didn't you understand about that was mainly referring to Google, Microsoft, etc. keeping your passwords. Password Management is a key service of Bitwarden and it's not going anywhere. In any case they do offer export to other Password management services, backup/download of passwords, and the already mentioned on-prem option. I don't agree with the OP to use the free option as it's better to be an actual customer IMO. They don't just don't delete accounts like the big tech companies with no recourse which was the main concern of this article. I was confused if the author was trying to sell this setup? It should be obvious to anyone reading this article this solution is overly complicated and overkill for most users.
    • Ads in Now Playing notifications on Spotify Android mobile app?

      By Steven P. · Posted

      I got this notification just now in Android: So I went in to disable the "Other" or "Marketing" notifications in Notifications management: But it came through the Now Playing? So if I disable that I no longer get what's Now Playing in Notifications? I'm a paying subscriber, not on the free plan... can they sink any lower?
