Dirt Rally 2.0?

This game worth playing or no?
I am going to have to dedicate a good 100 hours into learning the tracks before playing online is even an option so does this game still have a community or what?
No point getting good at these tracks only to learn there is no online presence and all that.

I see no threads on /vg/ and no threads about dirt rally on Zig Forums so i assume this game is dead?

Why?
is there something better to play?
Because as far as i can tell it is the best sim rally game on the market?

if you like driving solo, this is hands down the best rally driving sim out there

You do know Rally races are usually just based on time and that playing online is just comparing times rather than actually being on a track together?

>rallycross

>doesn't understand the meaning of usually
Yes it has Rallycross but that is a small section of the game and if you just want to play babymode Rally lite then it doesn't really matter what game you pick. Go play Forza and you'll be just as pleased.

I really hate the washed out cinematic lighting and effects.
Dirt Rally 1 had a more natural look.
Also, this game won't run at an acceptable framerate on my system that runs Dirt Rally 1, no matter what settings I use.
And they completely rehauled the physics, just to still leave asphalt broken.

Dirt Rally 1 was great for single-player, I imagine the same is still true for Dirt Rally 2. But Dirt Rally 2 does have more Rallycross content, which is good for multiplayer.
But a regular rally is just a battle of time, no side by side racing.

Should enjoy Forza more since it always has online community and different online races. DiRT is for people who care about Rally

it's a very good rally game, possibly the best modern rally game. buy you must be REALLY into rally and sim to appreciate it

Wait wait wait so i am going to spend 100 hours playing this game and there are no trophy trucks, no rally cross and buggys?
wtf why is DIRT 2 on ps3 still the best rally game ever made?

PATHETIC

Have you done even 5 seconds of research?

Lazy bait.

the racing games general is on /o/ not on /vg/

I am up to B class on dirt 2.0 and i am getting over it.
Need to learn every track at 100% with no mistakes, 1 fuck up restart the race. It is annoying without an end goal, Is all of the online play really just freaking ghosts? If so fuck this game i am going to find DIRT 2 and play that.

Does DIRT 2 even have servers anymore?
What is the bet the best rally game in history has been shut down.....

>without an end goal
What the fuck were you expecting? An "epic" career mode where auto models come and hand you a trophy? As advertised, the entire mission and purpose is to Rally, the end goal is to Rally - but better.

You do realize that in rally you don't actually have to "learn" the tracks? Thats why you have a dude sitting next to you who tells you what to expect.
Of course it helps to know the tracks, but if you have good fundamentals you absolutely can get good times on your first try.

>buy a rally game
>surprise surprise, I want to do rally stuff
>40% of dirt rally 2 tracks are tarmac
Just buy the first one, it's basically the same but better tracks and less jew bullshit with the DLC

>Of course it helps to know the tracks
The instant I started remembering the tracks I dropped DR1. Not knowing what's coming is part of the fun.

The career mode is infinitely more fun if you stop abusing the restart button. Remember that you get promoted to the next class as long as you finish in the top 3. Rallying is a marathon not a sprint.

What dirt 2 offered 11 years ago in 2009 at the very least?

This next gen or next spend?
Fucking cars that go slow until you finish 8 races in them in the career and no ability to upgrade unless you spend real money wtf is that?

Is that my trade off for losing trophy trucks and actual worthwhile rallycross races?

Shit you could even get your rallycross cars in a 5 man race with collision on rally tracks in DIRT 2.

The car handling really is no different either, everyone who says it is never played DIRT 2, Game engine on dirt 2.0 is clearly using DIRT 2 physics.

Wtf are you on about? DR1 has Germany and Monaco being mainly Tarmac which is 2 out of 6 locations. DR2 has Spain which is the worst location in both games so I agree on that. But the Tarmac sections of Poland and Australia are so fucking short they're basically neglible. DR2 also changes Monaco into an actual Ice and snow track.

This is why i my perfect rally game would have randomly generated tracks, no remembering the corners.
All about skill of the moment, unlike rally games that exist now... There is no game that is what i want from rally.

He is right about the jew bs with dlc wtf is all the dlc i saw on the play station store for dirt rally?

They're selling every single car and location from post launch individually. The locations are all ports from DR1 except for Scotland. What I did was just pick up the locations from DR1 I liked individually because I don't care about Rallycross and most of the cars. But now you're probably best off getting the Complete Edition when it's on sale again.

this
you can get everything for 15 bucks, which is pretty decent

It's okay but:
- Huge focus on rallycross, and I don't give a single fuck about that. So 40% of the content is lost on me.
- Compared to DR1 it's very weak in terms of new content, if it's your first DR go for it though.
- It's very solo oriented, and there's not a single tentative in making the "campaign" somewhat scenarised. I like that but be warned.
- The biggest feature of the game are daily/weekly/monthly trials, which are really fun to do. The pure solo mode is bad.

wtf does that even mean if i bought the game does that mean i have to spend more money to get all the cars?

Yeah but i have to play at least 8 races in each car before i could do the online races right?
So i have all the upgrades otherwise i have to spend real money yes?

FUCK THESE CUNT GAME COMPANIES HOLY SHIT WTF IS THIS

No to both questions.
You can start playing dailies right away. At least I did.

>8 races in each car before i could do the online races right?
>So i have all the upgrades
This is easily the dumbest and gayest thing about the dirt rally games, yes

Dirt Rally 2 came out like last year. Dirt and Dirt Rally are different games.

>I am going to have to dedicate a good 100 hours into learning the tracks before playing online
Are you a fucking retard? It's a rally game, not a cuck circuit game.
The whole point is that you don't know what's coming up next other than the directions your co driver blurts out.

dirt 4 was great because of that, the generated tracks were a solid idea and really helped visualizing the pace notes.
