Wtf is up with Shift's handling? The game looks great, why did they have to throw it away with GRiD like handling :no:

Turn the aids off ;)

... Then proceed to turn them back on again after you obliterate your driver after hitting a wall sideways at 60 MPH. :p

WHAT???

grid like?

all those reviews where they compared the game to likes of Forza, GT...

did EA also pay the reviewers? :p

btw, what driver aids are you using?

low TC is a must for gamepad users (atleast in GTR2 :D ).

I've not even read the reviews for the game, but if they are saying the handling is comparable to Forza and GT, lmao then yeah they've been paying them all off. It's not even close to either game, I have no idea who the hell would even suggest that. It didn't even enter my mind.

Honestly, NFS Shift is just like GRiD, you make a slight nudge on the thumb stick and it doesn't just turn the car, it doesn't even just slide it. It's over the top drifting.

@spookie, I was only playing the first race where they test your driver skill and what difficulty level you should play on / what aids you should use.

Seriously, I can't believe reviews are saying the handling is like Forza/GT. Funniest **** I've heard all year :laugh:

I let the game calculate my settings based on my driving...

Plus I didn't see anything about adjusting steering lock?

Set it to experienced and fiddle with the assists. :)

Steering lock is under car tuning. After a bit of tweaking I can set my M3 to almost full lock on experienced with low traction control and unless I turn out then in when hitting a corner or hit it at 80MPH the car screeches like cat going through a mangle but I still come out the other end at full pelt with a tiny bit of correction to prevent a drift.

I am loving the game just wish I could get to play it a bit more.

Trying to pry the controller out of unimatrix xero's hands is a task (a personal audience with the pope is an easier task in comparison).

Whens the PC version out? Its not even listed on Gamestops computers.
November or December. It was pushed back to be a flagship DX11 game.

Wow really? Amazon lists it as the 25th September. Damn I was hoping to pick it up then :(

edit: Damn you're right :( http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/59412

Dirt2 is great! My only gripes with it so far are the cheezy dialog during the track intros, the lack of any real car customizing and "Liveries" :rolleyes:

I take the cheesy dialogue as long as I can hear the announcer keep saying my nickname over and over again...spanky! My personal favorite would have to be when there is a lot of contact and I hear, "Spanky, you are being too aggressive out there!" :woot:

Stay connected affordably in 120+ countries/regions with your own lifetime eSIM! An eSIM is a digital SIM card. It's basically just mobile data. Once it's activated on your device, it can connect you to data networks in other countries – giving you an internet connection with NO roaming charges. With aloSIM, you can load prepaid eSIM data packages onto your phone, tablet, or computer. Your lifetime eSIM never expires, so it's yours forever and there are never any monthly charges. You'll get $50 in eSIM data credit, which is almost always enough to cover all your data roaming needs for a full year. But if you run out of data, you can always top up your lifetime eSIM and stay connected internationally. Pay $24.97 for a lifetime eSIM with $50 in travel data credit Use your eSIM to join data networks in 120+ countries Install your lifetime eSIM on a compatible device to roam on local data networks Your lifetime eSIM never expires, and can be topped up with more data anytime Many data packages cost as little as $4.50 and last 7 days. Depending on the package you choose, the length of time varies. Good to know Length of access: lifetime For NEW customers only Instant digital redemption Once you add your $50 credit to your aloSim account you have up to 12-months to use it — after that your credit will expire When you pay for a data plan you also get a free phone number (via Hushed) for the same duration of your plan that was purchased - IE 7 day eSim plan gives you a free 7-day phone number Purchased coupon must be redeemed and used within 12 months This deal is not stackable (one offer per aloSIM account) A $4.50 data package will last 7 days The data DOES expire, and you WILL NOT have any leftover data for your next trip unless it takes place within the validity period. While the eSIM never expires, the actual data package is only valid for the length of time stated at purchase (i.e. seven days after activation, 30 days after activation, etc.) So if you buy a seven-day package and only use a tiny bit, that package is still going to expire after seven days.

      WordArt was cool. We now have color fonts as a substitute although Word only supports COLRv0 and COLRv1 (Fraud OS 11 only). The OpenType SVG color font format needs to be supported by Office. Adobe's apps support it
