Seriously, what the **** is wrong with all these racing games where you always start from the absolute last position? I may be wrong but from what I recall GRiD was the first racing game I played (aside from hard core simulators) where you don't always start from the last position! what happend to that?
Â
It's just so stupid and annoying to start from the last every single time, it's like the top opponents payed everybody off and made me start last, so they can have 10 really slow shitty drivers blocking me while they zoom ahead starting from those top spots! And like any other game where you start last, the computer always accelerate faster than you. Maybe there is some trick to do a perfect start at the correct RPM, but I've had many races and I've never been able to pull it off even once, they always start faster than you.
I'm not a hard core racing fan I don't play that well but I usually don't have any problems playing normal difficulty, I can get the wins at the end of the day but it just feels unfair and frustrating. I mean the whole point of me playing a fantastic looking racing game like this is to drive fast and drift with stlye and stuff, but I can't freaking drift with all these stupid slow cars blocking all the corners! Especially when they have magical traction control and when you drive into them it's always you that spins out!
Also a few other small details that annoys me:
- The fan count after each race, why can't I just skip it? I don't care! just cut the crap and get me back to the garage! Also, the texture for the numbers are like 720p standards it looks blury on PCs.
- When you pick a car it has to load that car before you can do anything else. I don't have to look at the car just start the race I'll have the whole race to stare at it! come on!
- sponsor decales have shitty resolution, they should be doubled.
- the guy that talks to you during races is annoying. he tells you the same useless things multiple times. Yea I get it! RWD cars can over steer! you already told me that 5 times!
For me I think the biggest improvement over the original GRiD is the rewind thing. That old system was just retarded, why the **** do I need to rewind the thing, after I have entered rewind? Like, would I ever enter rewind, and start again without rewinding? Also if you crash your car you have to watch it crash and hit the ground before you can rewind, that was also annoying.
