I feel like Alex doesn't have a WRX.... he probably has a base model Impreza- there weren't any automatic WRX's in the vintage he claims to own (probably a GD platform 2002-2007)
My problem with Dirt Rally's career mode is that they make it harder by forcing players to drive the oldest cars before the newer ones. The older cars are dramatically harder to drive than the newer ones... particularly the 1970's and 80's cars (Group B was notorious for how stupidly deadly the cars were). So it basically ends up being a reverse learning curve.
Holy shit! @brad, I've been struggling to get one of the machines on my network to find the built in NAS storage that my router has for almost 4 months (admittedly not trying that hard), and you just helped me fix it in 30 seconds!
Unfortunately, I find this movie to be one of the worst of the series... so many holes in the story, no attention to detail, probably because they are trying to create reasons to do the dumb stunts, rather than accent the plot with stunts. When I say that, I know a lot of people chime in and say "It's an action movie, why do you care about the story?" But that's just it... by the time we got to 4,5, and 6, this series was doing way more than it needed to do to make its timeline and story work, that is resulted in a really complex and interesting multi-movie journey that many other series with six movies could only dream of.
I think this one might be where the series "jumps the shark," in a sense, but I suppose we'll have to see what comes out of F8, to make that claim. (From the trailers... I don't have a lot of hope)
I've heard many people say they love this movie, but I think that many of them are blinded by their sentimentality from the final scene. Don't get me wrong, I teared up as much as the next guy... but it didn't make the movie great. :(
This opening part of the game actually bridges the gap between 5 and 6, in that it contains scenes and plot that 6 picks up from in Moscow.
I really wish games did this more often, much like the Enter The Matrix did between The Matrix, and Matrix Reloaded. (Well, technically between the short film "Final Flight of the Osiris", and Matrix Reloaded).And, to some extent, the Chronicles of Riddick game.
@alex The "wtf cars are those even?" at 1:27:00 are a couple of GMC Suburbans, which probably isn't worth the impassioned "wtf," to be honest... but what you're likely referring to is the other black jeep looking thing which is a Lamborghini LM002, which is much more rare and well worth the wtf ;)
I enjoyed this... I did. But Jeff talking about FWD vs RWD vs AWD and drifting at 1:17:00 was a little painful :(
Drift cars are predominantly RWD cars, sometimes AWD cars, and (extremely) rarely FWD.
...
Update: Oh man, @jeff.... no. I'm sorry but, No. They did not make the Mustang a FWD Car. The engine was from a Nissan Skyline, an RB26DETT to be exact (though it is shown being taken out of a Nissan Silvia), an engine very popular in drifting scene. Skylines are AWD cars, so the engine put in the Mustang was converted to RWD... which, again, is the prefered setup for drifting!
