Grid 2

Murray said:
If you want Forza like gameplay not much games on PC have it, they are either more sim like and require a wheel or more acrade-y and include drifting around every corner. Grid 2 is one of those :p

Bummer :( Thanks for letting me know, not gonna bother now, proper gutted tho lol. I miss forza so much, think i might even get the new xbox one just for forza 5. What i cant grasp with all xbox only titles is why they cant come to pc? xbox = microsoft, pc = microsoft i may be putting it over simply but it makes sence to me lol
 
Guys, I still want to play the Global records, so i have joined the official Steam GRID2 group with 3k+ members.

How do i get these to show on the global records and go against them? Thanks
 
been playing for 2 weeks, and my lord, what a waste of time, i hate AI that is going in straight line and never looks whose there on a side, ending up spinning me around. AI seems like no brainer, stupid stupid. Drift, what the hell is that, drifting in GRID used to be biggest fun, that's why i liked original GRID. Where is all traction control and other steering assists control, i don't want any of them on, stupid decision not to include them.
GT5 is harder to master, but much more fun. was expecting more from this game, but it's a big let down, as DiRT become after DiRT2.

There is a few racing sims that work on controller pretty well, such as pCars which is currently in pre-alpha and can no longer buy in to and Asseto Corsa which isn't due to be released until next year... :p We don't have a Forza/GT5 type racing game on PC yet unfortunately.
 
Anybody have any thoughts on what the 'best' tier 1 and tier 2 cars are?

(i know different cars are better for different situation etc, but i'm about to buy another Tier 2 car to replace the dodge, and would appreciate any thoughts)
 
Tier 1= Alfa Giulietta
Tier 2= Skyline
Tier 3= GTR (fast straight tracks) or any of the lightweight cars
Tier 4= Bugatti

Imagine my surprise to see a lvl 8 guy racing around in a Bugati veyron!!!!

I suppose it had to happen. GRID 2 - Car Unlock Pack available now for £5..



Anyone else find this a tad insulting? There's nothing to work towards when they release stuff like this.

It's handy for those with limited gaming time, especially considering the grind in the online game.

No idea how to make the whole group to show up other than adding everyone and hoping they all complete the challenges. I'll have a proper go at them all tomorrow, should have a couple for you to try against already though all of which i can do a lot better on! :D

Been playing online more than completing the challenges :)
 
The social side I am a bit disappointed in .I had hoped when I raced even so I would see my friends times but that is only displayed right at the end and your own time isn't shown sp you have to remember it. The challengers are just confusing and could have made much more of the social aspect. Need to try the online racing.

Get ready for the Bashathon® then! :D
 

I like doing these global challenges, especially the overtake ones :D
I should be able to get 47k points, that would be my personal limit. People have got over 49k though :(

Yas Marina overtake i'll be able to get 62k or there abouts, just gotta try a few more attempts on that particular challenge...keep messing up on lap 3.
 
Will I enjoy this? I really like Dirt 2 and Dirt 3 is pretty good.

Are the graphics better? Is it more "simmy"? I have the original GRID and not sure I like the way it handles, found it more difficult to drive than Dirt, is this more of the same?

This x100, I can't believe they ruined what made this game completely awesome, Epic drifts down the side of a mountain, chaining them up, Now I'm lucky to pull of a 3 second powerslide, For that reason I really don't fancy progressing through this game anymore.

graphics are great games a arcade racer so dont expect anything other than that, if you like dirt 3 youll probably like it although i prefer dirt 3 myself but thats one of my fav games.
 
This might sound stupid but how the hell do I select my modified alfa guilietta to race online! I keep racing in the dodge when I don't want to!

Not overlay impressed with this game so far...

Unless you have upgraded to the next class your alfa is a tier 1 car. The dodge is tier 2.
If the online race you enter is currently set to tier 2, then your choice is the dodge or... the dodge.
 
will I enjoy Grid2?

I've played NFS:S and loved it on my ps3 :D great fun, the races, the cars, modifying them and tweaking :) great fun! (not so much the drifting as i was pants at it in the game xD )

played NFS:Hot Pursuit, enjoyed this.... but got old a bit too fast for my liking, always bit buggy as you have to try and hit opponents and half the time their ping must be terrible!!!! but I did like the pick up and play aspect of it and a wide selection of cars to choose from :)

Project Cars, enjoyed this, but mainly because a friend and I set a lap time challenge so we were trying that. game with potential but want to play online and have more cars than the very limited current selection.

iRacing, tried it last night just on the test mode.... already looks a bit too serious possibly from looking at the website with all the cups and races that are on at official times and have to qualify for...... not so much pickup and play but more in it for the long haul....so don't think it's for me xD

so yea, slightly arcady,kinda serious game that can just be picked up and played. lots of cars and customisations...... Think grid is for me? seen a few streams on twitch.tv and looks like the same play as NFS:S so I imagine it's in the right direction for me?
