I have been tempted to use my job at GS to get a metric fuckton of Alfa codes, but I don't think they are in the same demand as the 1M and CR-Z.
GAME still haven't emailed my car code to me. Anyone else having this problem?
Finally played on the racing rig today (been too lazy/hungover to walk upstairs until today). Holy triplejizz, cockpit view is now absolutely perfect. Not OTT, just the right level of shake, dip and buffeting. So immersive!
One thing that does need patching is the regularity with which AI drivers fly off the track. It's not so much that they over-cook turns under pressure - they fucking accelerate off the track in a straight line as if the turn doesn't exist. It looks ridiculous. In one S-Class race on Hockenheim no less that FIVE drivers went off track like this. I'm all for making the AI look human, but something seems broken with the current way this is handled.

Same. It is painful to admit, but I would pay stupid amounts of money for Porsche DLC.
Slowly becoming frustrated with the game.
I just don't feel like I'm racing. Every single race is 3-4 laps at best and in this game, that isn't nearly enough to win a clean race unless you got lucky with having the occasional crappy AI or they don't suddenly slingshot past everyone. I've tried driving clean but it never, ever works no matter how perfect your lap is. What you do is play bumper cars; push the opponents out of the way and get first asap and then you don't have to worry as AI cars barely ever pass.
Races are way too short to actually race, it's pissing me off. Not asking for hour long endurance races but I'd much rather have races where you get ready, tune the car, tweak it, qualify and get on a 20+ Lap race and get 5-6x the winnings. I play 2-3 races now and I get bored with the game because it's such a disheartening feeling to just start a new generic race every 5th minute.
People probably don't agree but I'm not getting that race feeling, just feels like a big toybox with some racing mini-games.

That's pretty much where I'm at too. How far are you into the career? I was kindof irrationally hoping it would get better as you progressed further along.Sethos said:

I agree, but only on the race length. I have yet to really get any sizable races, they are all around 3ish laps. I have done R3 races, S races, etc and I think the longest I have seen is 5 laps around a fairly short track. I wonder if they took all the complaints about the races being too long a little far?
Sethos said:
disagree with your first complaint, agree on the second, but still entertained by the career progression. i think its mainly because fm4 is actually a blast to play. some longer races would certainly be welcome though, at least double whats on offer now (primarily 5 min affairs)

It's possible they already did the work and it's just sitting there, waiting on the license.
Didn't some dev make a comment that he enjoyed racing a Porsche (that wasn't in 3) on one of the in-game tracks?
