The Crew

tals · 7 Dec 2014 at 09:43

If you use a Xbox controller, press the small play (right one) button, then scroll along to garage on that menu and change cars

Other tips, when you get to a radar that will reveal hidden cars on the map, in the map use the buttons above the accelerator and brake (controller) to change map filter to exploration to see there locations

If you want to access crew and friends press the right analogue stick down, you can then add friends to the crew, change crew master etc

When you have a crew this stays even when you disconnect, very useful if you tend to play with the same people

Quick question, in case anyone knows. What's the point in all the different cars as there speed varies massively? For example the Street cars you get to pick from at the start and as you progress through the game. Why would anyone buy a Focus RS if you can just use the Dodge Challenger you get at the beginning of the game which is so much better?

Partly I suspect for collecting and for variety of drive experiences.

YoungBlood · 8 Dec 2014 at 07:00

Yeah and not all cars have access to the same specs, example the mini is street spec only so you need another car for when the dirt missions open up.

The NY dealer has cars which can use all specs but a raid Camero can't be as good as a raid Humvee. So jack of all master of none maybe? a lot less health I assume.

Dirt spec camaro, what a lovely car.

Also, for fun with friends. Play tag in Midwest > Pikes/Central Forest. It's a huge area and should be fun to try

Starting to get really peeved off with these "chase" missions where the car you are chasing has double the attributes of your car.

Digital X · 10 Dec 2014 at 00:38

Tried a faction mission, takes over an hour.. Managed 38/110 checkpoints and had to call it a night, will try tomorrow. Whopping amount of credits though.

this game looks cool might have to get it

phatboy · 10 Dec 2014 at 22:58

Got this too and finally got a chance to play tonight. Astraben on uplay if anyone is about later in the week

FloppyPoppy · 11 Dec 2014 at 14:21

I love this game especially when playing with friends!

YoungBlood · 11 Dec 2014 at 15:44

Reviews starting to come in, Glad I bought it at release and did'nt wait a week for these reviews to drop, else I would have missed out on a gem. :cool:

IGN 6/10
Gamespot 5/10

It's the most fun I have had all year on a PC game and this review at Eurogamer sums it all up nicely http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014-12-10-the-crew-review Totaly agree, and 8/10 would be my score too.

Now excuse me while I go try beat some forumites speed skills in my nice yellow Camero

meh? · 11 Dec 2014 at 16:26

I have only just started playing this so if anyone fancies it then my uplay name is mehh_uk

Thesnipergecko · 11 Dec 2014 at 16:34

Just finished the main story on his. Have to say it's been a real breath of fresh air compared to recent releases.

I've really enjoyed playing it

afraser2k · 11 Dec 2014 at 18:24

I'm on as "afraser2k", still at the early stages of the game though. Not the greatest racing game ever but enjoying the open world design.

Scottland · 11 Dec 2014 at 19:47

Just picked this up today, on as sclnd. Barely played any of it so far but runs pretty well.

Great post

. Eurogamer review seems to echo my thoughts too. Really glad I just bit the bullet and pre ordered tbh

My system runs it beautifully on ultra sat on 60fps which is rather nice

ElliorR · 12 Dec 2014 at 00:30

I just installed this game and like the arcade physics as I can't do well on anything towards realistic.

Does this game have clubs or the like and if so is there an OcUK one?

dr_volki · 12 Dec 2014 at 07:39

got this last week, luckily a friend gave me his NVidia code.

game is good, but my main gripe is crews don't work properly and that's been like this since release. so no point playing for me at the moment till they fix it

Not as such, we are just adding each other to Uplay friendlist, Progen2k here, add me

Im not progressing very fast on the story, I waste too much time trying to beat skill times from the friend list.

I to try to beat the skill times got loads of golds now.
On one of the skills I managed to 31 on the overall leader boards which made me happy because I am not the worlds best drivers

Also tryed co-op missions and they can be fun and long was in my 475 level car against a level 610 car and was keeping up with them

If anyone wants to add me on uplay my user is dreigns

Also anyone know a good car with a dirt spec the one I am using at the moment doesn't have a dirt spec
