Quote from -NightFly- :

i took down my firstone on level 9 or 8 . Currently level 13 and completely powerless against bears, few seconds and i'm done, can barely scratch them if lucky .

To be honest, after getting battered a couple of times early on in the game I avoided even taking Giants on until now.

There is no wildlife that i'm afraid of any more. I use destruction spells/archery mostly though, so I don't let most wildlife get near me, and when it does get too close I use my ice shout to freeze the bugger so I can get some distance on it again

Quote from Klutch :

How the hell have you racked up 60+ hours already?

Being unemployed is a nightmare, but it does have one advantage at times like this

I had to look up Geif.

"Geif
Retards way of saying give."

Says it all

I don't have access to the iRacing forum, so I cant find the thread. It was well known what he said though.

I'll probably be re subbing soon, so i'll dig up the info when i'm back.

I don't see why i should have too mind, I'm not in the habit of lying to people.

Up to level 24 now, staring to get fairly powerful. Took down my first Giants last night.

Even after 60+ hours this thing keeps throwing up golden moments. I still feel that I've done so little as well. There's gotta be another 200 hours of gametime in this first play through, the way i'm playing it.

Despite its minor issues/quirks and bugs (of which I've encountered about 3..none of which were anywhere near game-breaking) this is the best single player game I've played in 30 years of gaming, and i'm not really an RPG fan.

To think its only going to get better with patches, DLC and some major mods is awesome.

Quote from BlueFlame :

The Gis said the FPR Falcon is fine.

He said it was not even close to how the real thing drives! I don't know what comment you're twisting to come up with "he said it's fine" but that certainly wasn't his opinion several months ago. End of story.

They used the physics for one of the impalas as the base for that car, and it shows. It also brings out all the worst characteristics of the old Tyre model.

I'm not saying people shouldn't enjoy driving it..it's a free world, but it's definitely not a "good" car in any way at the moment and its not in the slightest bit realistic to drive.

Can I just say...

I fu****g love this game like I've never loved a single player game before. It's awesome.

...That is all.

Quote from BlueFlame :

It annoys me when people say it's crap cos they clearly haven't driven it enough.

It's crap. I've driven it a lot. It's still crap.

Mildy amusing to do a few laps in, but absolutely nothing like a V8 supercar. Ask Shane van Gisbergen. Actually don't bother, he's already been asked. "not even close" was his response. Luckily he's helping them to get it right, so it might well be a decent car in the future.


Agreed with the Radical though..that IS a must have car. (As is the Lotus)

Quote from adamlfs :

UI is fine for me as well (PC, M&KB) Little tricky when your clicking away on text.

Hmm, the UI is possibly the worst designed UI I've ever seen for KB/M players.

I'm used to it now and can navigate around things, but it's still a pain to use. It could have been made 1000X better, but they obviously assumed everone uses an xbox controller

I also want to be able to sort my weapons/apparel by type, not by bloody alphabetical order ! Who came up with that shit!

Still, nothing game breaking, just very inconvenient at times. Hopefully the modders can come up with an alternative soon.

Still loving it despite some silly bugs and the UI In something of this scale some bugs are completely expected. I've only come across one bad bug so far, that prevents me continuing on a side quest. I've read that there are quite a few quest killing bugs, guess I've just been lucky so far.

Couldn't get into Morrowind or Oblivion. Absolutely love this one though. It's in a different class.

I've been looking for a potential wife. I think the virtual hottie above might just be the one.

Is she single? Where do i find her?

Quote from brandons48 :

I think i've finished the main story..

WTF? It's only been out for three days. You must have fast traveled everywhere and not done hardly any side quests...

I hope it takes me weeks to complete it. I've done about 30 hours so far, I'm only level 11, I've not fast traveled anywhere, i'm doing every side quest I can. You miss so much if you just speed through the game like you must have done.

It is the most immersive game I've ever played in 30 years of gaming.. and i hate RPG's!

Here's to the next 300 hours of gameplay!

Saw Opeth last night in Bristol. Awesome band live. :headbang:

Listening to a load of live Opeth tracks now. Sounds great, but doesn't come close to feeling those drums pounding you at a gig :drummer:

Thanks for the update Phil!

Looks like the Lotus is getting a decent overhaul. Now i'm going to have to sign up again just to test it out. Damn you!!

Quote from BlueFlame :

What, really are you talking about? Your attitude is foul, you should see anger-management or something.

lol, my attitude is fine thanks. There's not a word that i said there that isn't true.

Why would i need anger management? I'm not in the slightest bit angry

The view from a camera is never the same as the view from an eye, so yet again you're talking bollocks.


@Pablo.. sorry for calling you Pedro mate! It was early and my brain wasn't engaged

Pablo, don't waste your time replying to Blue Flame. He's a know-it-all dickhead, who generally knows nothing at all.

It's completely pointless having a conversation with him. (On any subject. If your view on something differs from his he will either call you a liar, or ignore your view entirely.)

people on this forum like to continually point out to people "YOU'RE WRONG" like some witch-hunt.

Don't be such a drama queen. People are only pointing out that you're wrong because....you're wrong

It only seems like a witch hunt to you because you're wrong an awful lot

Quote from PMD9409 :

Stu, Moose, whatever you wanna be called ... Eric Hudec has opened up a thread in the Lotus79 forum and asking questions to the community on what to fix with the car. Just a FYI, because I believe you liked the car.

Thanks for the heads up

I'm no longer a member though, so it's not a conversation i'm going to be involved in.

Surely the Devs are the experts anyway? Shouldn't they know what needs fixing

Quote from BlueFlame :

So this is what's not correct.

Your choice of FOV will determine how the track looks. Bigger FOV=Stretched track/Shallower turns/less look of elevation.

The track is fine. End of story.

Quote from BlueFlame :

Well whatever it is, it ain't right is it?

What are you on about?

There a good 5 degrees difference on the FOV from the sim car, which naturally makes everything look a bit narrower.

As Tristan was driving there recently i'll take his view that it looks fine as correct.

I'm no iRacing fanboy, but when it comes to the tracks they have always got it spot on. I fail to see how the track could be incorrect in width when it's been laser scanned. That's the whole point of the process.

I could accept it being a couple of centimeters out, but there's no way it could be 50cm out as you are claiming.

Quote from BlueFlame :

Also, pause that comparison video at 0:23 , you'll see the game version looks about half a meter too thin.

You really are clutching at straws. It obvious the FOV of the sim car is different to the vid from the real car. That's what is making it look different.

I suspect the apparent lack of bumps is more to do with iRacings's crappy suspension/tires than defects in the track modeling.

edit: beaten to it

..and here's a comparison. looks spot on

Quote from tristancliffe :

as far as I'm aware the Knickerbrook chicane is always used on the longer configs except for sighting laps to the grid

This is true, but when they asked on the England forum about which configs we'd like the answer was unanimously "every possible permutation"

Quote from BlueFlame :

You know I tried it feels like the right track with OTM...... guess the NTM was a step back..

I found that the FFB on cars with the NTM is just numb compared to the OTM. All the subtle detail in the track surface is gone with the NTM. I hated it, It was a big factor in me leaving iRacing.

I was hoping to hear that things had improved. Doesn't sound like it has.

Quote from anttt69 :

Is Oulton not a perfect reproduction?

Just been to my brothers to check out Oulton and it looks absolutely spot on.
