Remove checkpoints from races

One of the things I do not like in the newer games is that every race is filled with checkpoints that are really annoying sometimes.I suggest checkpoint removal from races in the future. It's a lot better having percentage rather than checkpoints.

    Hey, good buddy how ya been?

    Yeah, I have to agree with you, the checkpoints have become way too repetitive in many games.

    Sometimes I just pull the game and go back to older games that don't use so much of this checkpoint *.

    Some of the older N.F.S. games are good to warm up on the old PS2 system time to time for me.  LOL 

    I hope you're otherwise kinda enjoying Payback game.

    I have been playing Dirt 3 lately over on Steam.

    It's has been kinda fun for an older game.

    Hey, if you ever want to hook up on Discord voice and play some racing games together let me know!

    Take Care!

    Regards

  • checkpoints aren't necessary unless there are multiple routes to destination. Which can happen quite a bit, however, in this case they have arrows telling you which way to go. the checkpoints should be fewer some events have 3 on one straight section which makes no sense since there is no where else to go. also there have been times when i narrowly missed the checkpoint and had to turn around and lost valuable time.

    in Short no, please keep them.

    There is one Huge Problem with not having Checkpoints which i know from "Burnout Paradise" why ? it was etremely easy to cheat, you save your car Location on the finish line and when a Race Ends with only that Checkpoint at the finish line you just have to teleport you to that spot, means Cheaters would be able to Win these Races in less then a Second.

    Having many Checkpoints prevent them from doing so, even having only a few Checkpoints can lead to abuse if they can Teleport instant for 2km or so.

    So for that specific purpose I prefer many Checkpoints.

    But on the other Hand i can understand that it can be frustrating if you miss one (especially with that checkpoint missed bug) or that you are forced to take one specific route which was also a awesome feature of "Burnout Paradise" that you don't always had to take one specific Route.

  • Asphalt 8 doesnt have checkpoints. Instead it has alternate routes
