I'm playing this from a demo players point of view. The thing about the demo is that it's so fun that people buy the full. It's not even fun to drift anymore. I enjoy drifting AND gripping (I know talking about drifting is risky on the forums). Drifting was just so fun. But now all we have is a sluggish XRG (Trust me if feels and sounds sluggish).
Drifting uphill isn't that fun, and I think everyone can agree with that, because Blackwood non-reversed is mainly uphill.
I really do hope that something is fixed because it will drive away alot of the fanbase. If you want to encourage people to buy S2, making the demo crappier isn't going to help. I personally am about to get S2, so I'm not over-devastated.
I go onto the demo and I'm already seeing people saying their going to uninstall. Weather they do or not, I don't know. It doesn't feel like I can even go fast anymore.
I do like the clutch update though because it gives those of us with a wheel and advantage. However putting the FMB or whatever in the demo is ridiculous. It's going to bring crashing to a whole new level, people that even tap your car spin you out (We all know how demo racers are).
I have mixed feelings about the patch, but the things I don't like are the no reversed maps and the XRT out(on the demo).
PS I know people will say "Then just get the full and stop whining" but you have to think critically here and realize what makes a person get S2 and that some people just don't have the cash.
I know I'll think of something to improve what I have to say after I press "Submit New Thread"
