@ScarDuck14 I know that going crosscountry is an option, but I would've bought Dirt or WRC if I wanted a rally game. I find it stupid that the only way to make distance in this game without being spotted is take a streetracer car with a rideheight inching the asphalt, with sideskirts and splitters and go all Collin McRea with it. Not that I don't do it, but only after the game driven me to pure frustation.

@Caelum_NL I know. But it’s an arcade racing game. So you’re going to have physics and mechanics that are beyond reality. Going cross country is actually the more realistic. I’ve encountered many boy racers attempt it in my time. Hitting a huge rock in this game. Just smashes the rock to pieces in real world Rock smashes car and you to pieces. Not to mention the huge jumps across bridges etc in this game, impossible. in real would car and you destroyed attempting it. And highly unlikely you would even get to the other side.
- 3 years ago@ScarDuck14 It's an arcade STREET RACING game 😉 Even though it is an arcade game, you have to be kept in the mindset that you are a streetracer. Fast and the Furious 1 to 3 are also fantasy car movies, where stuff happens beyond real physics. But the moment they would take that Supra or the Eclipse on a Dakar stage, you'd also walk away because there are limits to where your believe will take you.
Wrecking stones and metal pillars is only allowed because otherwise the game would be unplayable. Those are gameplay mechanics to keep the game fun 🙂
Jumping bridges and trucks with car loaders and ramps with roadgoing vehicles have been a car fantasy used in media since the car and television have been around, like Dukes of Hazard, Smokey and the bandit, etc etc. Never have I seen them roadcars going cross country through grass, forests, jumping from one hill to the next and off ravines. 😉
