Started playing this yesterday. It is pretty great. Made a video of my hudless ride from New York to Miami

Super enjoyable. Makes me want to get a wheel.

Man, this game is so good.
In which other driving game can you watch a launch of space shuttle ?:

I gotta say, this really feels like the game was tailor made for me and I love it.
Things I always wanted in my ideal racing game:
mix of both mundane and beautiful exotic cars (check - Wolkswagen Golf and Pagani Huayra or McLarens or Ferrari are in)
beautiful varied world ripe for exploration with things to see and enjoy (check - compressed USA with zero loading screens and fast first loading)
well done cockpit view (check)
fun physics/driving model (check)
good music (kinda check, I really like electronica and ambient radios as well as the original soundtrack..only complaint would be the lack of custom mp3 station)
total freedom, possibility to drive on and offroad (check)
day/night cycle, dynamic weather (check)
nice graphics with good optimization (check - runs at 60fps maxed and looks great)
The only other games that had these were TDU 1/2, no surprise I also loved them. And now the same devs did it again, on steroids, even better than before. Yay I am glad Ubisoft funded this, because after Eden Studios shut down, I was sad I was never going to see this kind of all encompassing driving game again.
Oh and it also has a revenge B-flick story, which is not great, but it's not terrible either - I only had to roll my eyes once or twice
I like Troy Baker so him voicing main protagonist is cool.
The integrated multiplayer has no value for me for now (and I don't mind, I actually usually prefer singleplayer) but after I am done with the story and exploring I will get into it as well.
Just riding from city to city, enjoying the sights, no HUD except minimap..pure bliss:

I finally bought the wheel and the game supports it perfectly without any setting up needed:

Took few shots from sightseeing tour:

I must say, I think if Ubisoft released the game in its Wild Run current state, without season pass/microtransaction shenanigans, AND made the player start in some more appealing city (NY, Miami..just not Detroit FFS), the reviews and player impressions would be so much better. I think it would easily get 9s in reviews.

Just wondering how many of you still play it?
Tweeted them around 1am, no replies but quite happily posting other things. Thecrewgame and ubisoftsupport twitter accounts.
Worth a try! Still cannot play. There apparent fixes of removing the uplay folder and downloading an old client but I'm just gonna wait.

I still play it. It's a fantastic game, if you enjoy the racing genre and want to play with people online then there's nothing quite like it.
I'm still waiting for Wild Run to go on sale but I did buy the DLC when that was on sale and it's well worth the cash. Especially if you get to the stage of having millions of dollars and owning all the base game cars you desire.

Anyone still playing this?
Haven't played it in months, had all the base cars and almost all the other cars that you could buy (before wild run). Uncovered 100% of the map done all the little discoveries as well so haven't played at all since GTA online came out.
Picked up wild run for £9.99 and the graphics really have had a big overhaul, much cleaner and sharper. Only just started with this DLC so have quite a bit to do and discover yet but looks pretty good so far.
Being able to quickly add checkpoints to the map and race is quite nice.
If anyone's up for races my uplay name is Radeon85OCUK.

Weirdly I gave this a re-install on Tuesday (servers down for maintenance though!) Yesterday I had a bit of a play but I'm still in my first car and the upgrades are confusing and meh. The driving physics are actually pretty fun!

Is TWR worth it for the graphics alone? Or does everyone get a Graphics update through a patch?
