[@ACGreviews]

My thoughts. It has some issues but man it is a blast. Also thanks to the patrons,. You folks keep it going

[@__G___]

ACG you going to be at E3?

[@argylega]

Glad to hear it, I have coming in the mail & am really looking forward to it. I was addicted to Dirt 2 several years back but never got into 3 for whatever reason.

[@glypheye]

Thanks, man! Always enjoy your reviews :)Dirt 4...Looking forward to it. Just downloaded on PSN from my phone....can hardly wait to play when off work. I loved Dirt Rally, though the level of difficulty was insane. Looking for something still challenging but perhaps a bit less cardiac stress :)...and with more career/campaign variety

[@Grandmastergav86]

Greg Alexander Dirt 3 was disappointment for me after the excellent 2.

[@YDINO69]

+ACG are you putting out a Tekken 7 review?...out of everything that's awesome about this channel the thing I respect the most is how often you respond to people's comments making them feel like they matter to the channel:) #GOAT

[@Clipahoy]

Your grasp at the language and how coherent your reviews are, you have my utmost respect.

[@ACGreviews]

thanks!

[@ShatteredEquilibrium]

Yeah, it always makes me wonder - do you have any educational background in linguistics / literature or philosophy?

[@kikoredog]

this review was Terrence Mckenna good bud. Got dis pre-downloaded on steam ready for tomorrow!

[@yfz450rider39]

Exactly why I love his reviews!

[@joshfoulkes1399]

Kaleem ullah you have my respect entirely just from your majestic moustache

[@Ultrasoundwave]

So glad this is a "buy"! The track generator sounds amazing too....can't wait for Friday 👍🏻

[@ACGreviews]

ya its pretty sweet

[@2011zx6r]

Why does everyone think its out friday i was told that 10 times im like nah i think its today went to walmart there it was price matched from walmart.com and got it for 40 bucks today

[@Rossko93]

It's out Friday in the UK

[@TheFurryInShambles]

Ultrasoundwave The track generator thing is cool. Reminds me of GT5 track generator.

[@ArbiterBrick]

Ultrasoundwave I think I'm going to buy it thanks to this review

[@yp3661]

I love your review style. Here we are 2 years after release and I see DiRT 4 on sale for $12. Is it worth it? Let's just check out an ACG review.

[@getdrinking]

I didnt like dirt rally. I found it far too inaccessible. I wanted to pretend to be colin mcrae without the game reminding me every turn that im not and never will be. This sounds far better, and i can act out my rally driver fantasies far better.

[@Jamieo1977]

It's amazing how you are always one of the first to have you reviews out, but also reman in the elite of thoroughness! :)

[@lukas44325]

Your videos are awesome! They're honest and unlike with some game reviews, I don't watch the gameplay on screen and disagree with your conclusions about it too often. You've earned my sub.

[@ramirof1986]

Lukas Jaeger Welcome brother!!

[@jeremyyoder3908]

Argentocba cringe why did you do that 😑

[@ramirof1986]

Jeremy Yoder cuz I felt like it

[@UrDownloadableJesus]

I've have never seen a review video this in depth, with great examples, explanations, and yet still keep everything interesting. you have earned a sub!

[@S3mj0n]

What is wrong with the racing community and the comments? "Oh you are not a real race fan or car guy if you play Forza or GT, sims are the only good games." Just have fun for fucks sake.

[@terjelindtveit8072]

Nothing wrong, just different preference.. i won't have fun in a forza game, just like you won't have fun in a sim.. (idk).. no need to get angr about it though.. but they are not getting my money :)

[@S3mj0n]

Terje Lindtveit Sure. I have fun in a lot of racing games. Arcade, simcade and sim. But I don't run around and mock people because they don't play a "true racing sim" or because they prefere Forza over GT. If I want to prove something I go out and drive fast on the autobahn or go to a track day or to the nürburgring. There is no need to attack people over a game. But hey, it is 2017. Everyone is a special sjw snowflake

[@jdm757]

Semjon finally someone says what I've been thinking. I love GT AND Forza for what they both do well. And I love stuff like Dirt and GRID etc. Can't stand when people think I'm not a car guy or racing fan because of the fact I like all types of racing games.

[@Brando887]

Play with full assists if it makes it fun for you. I play with assists cuz it's the only way it's fun for me. Who cares what some 13 year old kid has to say

[@fredEVOIX]

"the racing community" that is funny for me who drove cars 280hp+ for the last 14 years irl (focus rs 2018 coming in a few weeks), I stopped playing what people call "simulations" the day I went to the norschleife and realized "sims" were harder than real driving, if anything forza is closer to reality than "sims" as real life loosing control and sliding is actually pretty "smooth" I never had a car snap like they do in games, you have plenty of time to think "Crap...it's happening...I'm going to close my eyes now and wait till it's over"

[@planbrent]

I've always loved DIRT games.

[@andreidmny]

Thank you for the awesome review, as always, ACG. This is just what I was expecting, a more accessible version of Dirt Rally's handling (the numbered Dirt games always have been arcady to some extent). I can't wait to pick it up, however I'm a bit dissapointed in the content, mainly locations variety. Procedural track generation is good, but we're going to see the same 5 locations all the time. I understand the fact that the game made by Big Ben holds the official WRC licenses, however I feel there are not enough locations to drive in. Old CMR games had snow, red sand, dirt, gravel, tarmac, the whole variety you need in a rally game. Even Dirt Rally has a good variety, even though it's lacking in locations as well. Still, I'm itching to play this as it's a more polished and higher budget Dirt game than Dirt Rally was.

[@maxxmitchinson]

YES! A true review for a sequel to one of my most loved racing franchises, thank you.

[@ACGreviews]

you bet

[@NathanJEllerton]

Love how you make these reviews humorous, keep it up!

[@hjhooch3355]

Great review man! You've sold me on this. Just went back to watch your Dirt Rally review - Great stuff! Reminded me how great it is. About to start playing it again.

[@OhighOSkater]

I had never really understood the "Checking the mail" saying until you said what it means. You've earned a like because you've taught me something new. Good video and great review

[@madpioneer]

Really like you're reviews and the crazy lingo humor you have. Keep it up!

[@bricktop.]

The gold standard for reviews as usual. You fully deserve any money you hopefully make for your efforts doing this stuff.

[@KatimaGaming]

After my frustrations of Dirt Rally, I need this so bad. Thank you very much for a great review as usual!

[@AlfredoAlers]

"More than a bro can bro if a bro could constantly bro" my accented ass can't say that without rolling my R's 😂

[@EmilyRose900]

That definition sums up how I feel about Xbox.

[@LittleNemoGaming]

Awesome! I'm so glad you reviewed this, and that the devs had enough confidence in their game to make the review embargo BEFORE the deadline to get it 20% off for humble bundle subscribers. The only thing I was hoping you'd talk about, but didn't, was the amount of Rally vs Rally Cross in the "campaign". I didn't expect much when "Dirt Rally" was in the HB monthly sub because I'm not super into racing games. But then I played it and realized I very much prefer the "rally" type of racing with no one else on the road, time trial-ing, and being okay with coming in at 2nd-4th place a fraction of a second behind the driver above me. Since there's no obvious huge F-ups in Dirt 4 I'm going to go buy it now, and hope those pop-up issues on PC will get ironed out.

[@javajack9197]

As always, great review. Looking forward to Friday!

[@Dr_Baphomet]

Would have loved to see you tackle the group b monsters but great review as always Karak!

[@scalefreakgaming]

Great review. I have been playing this one for a bit and I love it. I find certain areas of the game to be more, and less challenging. Like, World Rally Cross in the cars? Crank it up. But when you get in that little buggy thing? Total write off for me. Short Course trucks? Touch and go. Sometimes I'm a train wreck.

[@GabrielMccredi]

I'm still playing dirt rally

[@luisronaldofigo]

G! Gaming same hope it's as hard as rally

[@GabrielMccredi]

probably not the main games are more arcady i really did not like dirt 3 but loved rally because of its realism

[@1InVader1]

Same, this game came too early. I was hoping for more content for DR. Looks like D4 has a lot of the same tracks as DR. I recognize a lot of them from the vid.

[@JohnRyder-]

@InVader So the devs came to the conclusion that Dirt Rally was too difficult and with Dirt 4 they've redeemed themselves.

[@luisronaldofigo]

J-Ryder yeah they have said this themselves that they hate that dirt rally Is called the dark souls of racing games , but I'm pretty sure they will Make a dirt rally 2 that game by itself put them back on the road

[@justinbezaire8115]

this guys needs to be more popular! his reviews are so good it makes games I wouldn't want to play, a game I want to play. ACG reviews put just about all big game company reviews to shame. he gives so much detail and overall covers everything. great job and more people should learn from him.

[@parsr4961]

Glad to see the series was able to improve over an already great dirt rally game. Great review as always!!

[@JokerJay1990]

Was literally just now looking for a review and damn am I glad I pick this review up first

[@trickyjw]

Nice review. Probably one of the most articulated reviews I've heard. Very very nice. Accurate and honest.

[@3tch3r]

great beginning!!!!! awesome review!!!!

[@bmbmunoz2]

Didn't even know this coming out, now I just need to get some money, I really enjoyed Dirt rally but it did get super challenging for me. This game looks amazing and almost exactly what I was looking for.

[@mutahir2002]

I like that you don't BEG your viewers to subscribe and instead you'r elike "Eh, maybe subscribe." Love the videos by the way.

[@Caliboyjosh10]

Does the game have the multiplayer mode "Cat and Mouse" that was in Dirt 3? Loved that mode

[@DaveBenchmarks]

Got the game. Soundtrack is top noch. One of the tracks has been my ringtone for about 3 months lol. I'm on Gamer settings, Champion Difficulty. Man it is such a tension-filled experience. Good work Codemasters although I'm not too keen on the graphics, I think Dirt 3/Rally take the cake in that department.

[@finn12ioo]

These reviews are so well written and fun to watch, I find myself watching reviews about games I already know I won't be buying :p

[@joechinchar9833]

Sometimes its nice to come watch your review even if im not too interested in the game. Its nice to know that theres a few sain, down-to-earth reviewers still out there. Morning coffee goes good with my moring ACG ya understand.

[@ACGreviews]

thanks joe

[@AstralFrost]

Excellent review, Karak! It's arriving in the mail today! Glad to hear it's good.

[@conundrum488]

earlier in my evening i stumbled upon your dirt rally review, looking for dirt 4 reviews, and as i said on that page, i'm glad i did, since i hadn't completed much of that game, wondering if i should still get this one, because i'm a ps4 guy, and i also wanted to get Wipeout Omega Collection. i didn't really wanna purchase two games at the same time, and your review of dirt rally actually got me back into that game. ha. so, i wanted to thank you for your honesty, especially when you said, (to paraphrase, because i know it's not verbatim) "at times i kept asking myself if this was really made after dirt rally"... and that sold me on the fact i chose not to purchase dirt 4 at this time... BUT, because you said it's a buy, i know i will... eventually. :) thanks for covering every aspect of the game. much appreciated.

[@ACGreviews]

you bet jim

[@stuartc6774]

Can't wait to get behind my wheel with this. Thanks for the review.

[@ACGreviews]

you bet enjoy

[@spiderbat4956]

Thank god they fixed the music. The looping track on Rally was annoying at times.

[@calvincampbell64]

a totally dope review as per bro complete and to the point and love the word play

[@ThaGodfadda]

Awesome can't wait till I gather some money and grab this! I've been hooked to the Dirt series since 2 and was really turned away by Dirt 3. Thanks for the quality review as always!

[@S3thc0n]

Wow, this is an excellent review of a detail I have never seen before.

[@GalacticAstroparticles]

Thanx for the great review as always, Von Karakistien!

[@Trumpetgeek240]

That opening joke has been the best thing I've heard all day. Thank you for the great review!

[@lukesmolders2795]

Great review! Love the amount of depth you go into.

[@avoid6304]

Smashing out the reviews like a pro!

[@HotChilli99]

Funny, informative, and enjoyable. You have yourself a new subscriber (and potentially someone £40 shorter in cash). Thanks!

[@doddynuryanto3800]

Great review, very detail, but please at the end of the video can you add some kind of big font for buy ,rent or never touch? I always miss in that part

[@ACGreviews]

no sorry.

[@whatTheFup]

good review, looking forward to getting this

[@willscott35]

always been a fan of the dirt series. once again another great review, thank you very much!!

[@ACGreviews]

you bet

[@superman37876]

Keep up the awesome work, you're reviews are the best!

[@elchivato9006]

Awesome review as usual man. Thanks

[@TheBatosai]

I really enjoyed dirt 3. This looks just as fun. Thanks awesome in depth review!

[@ACGreviews]

thanks

[@Tommy712rus]

lol, i was bored with 3 (after 1 season), because 2 was realy fun

[@jdbruiser]

Would you say Dirt 4 has a satisfactory degree of personality compared to Dirt 3?

[@sergesieniejo1]

same i loved dirt 3 so much specially multiplayer

[@CanuckGT]

They took out the fun mini games...

[@droneflight1252]

Advanced blending, Like in Dirt Rally, Is an different and precise rendering of transparency effects. Including tree's, Fences etc, etc. As you pointed out, It is very demanding, I have no idea why they put it in the mainstream game tbh. Cheers for the review!

[@xeroeddie]

Awesome review! You mentioned that the consoles aim for 60 fps. How low do they dip i framte rate? Other than the added effects do the PS4 Pro hit 60 more consistently? If you covered it and I missed it, I apologize.

[@1RacerXer]

Looking forward to finding time for this one!

[@TroublingStatue]

Is trailblazer back from Dirt 3? I remember it being pretty damn fun, just taking crazy Pikes Peak cars on a what was essentially a rally stage (albeit not as complex). Also man that music sounds good, can't wait to hear the rest of it!

[@timperley69]

this pops up in my feed at 3 am...yes!!!! Thank you Karak

[@jimmyearly4288]

Great video, sir. Thank you for approaching these reviews as someone who understands the concept of bang for your buck and a finite amount of discretionary income.

[@ACGreviews]

thanks

[@CToretto]

"testosterone for spontaneous baby beard growth" 😂 I love where your descriptions lead to! Thanks for another great review. Feels like they have tried to appeal to both casual racers and sim racers but havnt commited to either. Dirt rally = hard core simulation racers = small market. So they try and go down the middle but I think they havnt gone far enough. Dirt 3, 2 and the original, it was memorable and awesome because of its extreme sports attitude, gymkhana, stadium circuits, battersea compound. Even the dashboard mascots and traveling the world via the trailer menu gave it style. Dirt 4, dare I say it, looks like a recycled, accessible dirt rally maintaining solely the WRC feel which won't appeal to many. Still can't wait to try it and hope the FISH school is decent 😀

[@ACGreviews]

ya fantastic game but it does toe into the middle ground a lot

[@Maren617]

CToretto Lol, this review convinced me to go get the game and as a woman, I very much hope the spontaneous baby beard growth won't be too noticeable... :-D

[@CToretto]

haha I too hope for your sake it wont be noticeable! I got the game Friday and absolutely love it! Hope you are liking it, I have just uploaded a video on my channel showing the Joyride smash attacks, kind of a tutorial, check it out if you like!

[@vgJunkyard]

Very nice. Thanks for the review Karak

[@senmingy]

thanks for the review~

[@ACGreviews]

you bet

[@babobilimbi493]

Thanks for the review, probably pick it up on sale. There seem to be only 2 new rallycross tracks in DiRT 4, worried it might get boring quick.

[@ACGreviews]

you bet

[@feelingtardy]

even when i have 0% interest in a game, i always watch because i have 100% interest in your reviews.

[@S3mj0n]

Great review as always. as a big petrolhead and rally fan I'm really looking forward to Dirt 4. And nice driving you are one of the few game reviewer who is good at every game!

[@LooneyJuice]

Thanks again Karak. Much appreciated. I too had the Horizon impression about this from what I saw. And even though slightly disappointing as I like to have my teeth kicked in regularly, I still think it could be a great addition to the series. Also, as always, thanks for being so thorough, especially all the granularity regarding audio design and such, always so appreciated. Looking forward to the next one!

[@ACGreviews]

thanks so much Looney appreciate it man

[@SpaceWolfHudson]

You wrote that book about mafia body disposal?! You are a man of many skills!

[@DARKnessss14]

Your intro always makes me smile lol

[@diegonantes9651]

Man, your reviews are real gems... Great channel! You deserve much more success!

[@ACGreviews]

thanks

[@Sabrenndi]

The go to guy for real reviews Grats.

[@Qwtygyfryhu77546]

Another beautifully presented, and balanced review. Fantastic work

[@CoverPaint]

What a great review! Thanks a lot Karak! Proud to be your Patron!

[@ACGreviews]

yo rock thanks man

[@anthonyuccello1458]

Interesting! Was not expecting the buy recommendation. I'll give this a second look. I've been seeing mixed reviews. I might wait for a few patches first.

[@ACGreviews]

its not perfect for sure

[@JayTwista]

Excellent review as always. Thanks ACG!

[@canadianfatass4378]

i'm so getting this when i have the chance. you are one reviewer i always trust cause you haven't been wrong yet, for me at least, keep up the great work!

[@vinniecorleone62]

A great profile on it bud, picking it up today man!

[@ACGreviews]

thanks enjoy so fun

[@jesperPLZ]

Love the background music

[@slipangle3027]

I really like the random track generator. In real rally you don't get to race the same stage a billion times and memorize every part of it.

[@ACGreviews]

me to I love it

[@AppleTaco]

Great review! already pre-loading but need to see what i bought right? :)

[@jamesannis5372]

Great video, as a financially masochistic rallyist, ramming a digital escort into a tree is strangely fulfilling. Creating the hope getting it out in these games will stop me from smashing my rx7 into smithereens. you just got a new subscriber, keep them coming.

[@SaabEJ]

7:55 Is that Queens of the Stone age playing in the background? God dammit Dirt 4, I already love you!

[@SaabEJ]

Wait, one of my biggest complaints about Dirt 3 was how music never played while racing, despite the awesome soundtrack (Gaslight Anthem's Spirit is Jazz for example). Now, that makes sense when doing rallies and trailblazers and whatnot, but during land rush or rallycross, music couldn't hurt! Is Dirt 4 the same case?

[@t.a5587]

always a pleasure to watch your reviews

[@lookatmyright]

I hope this will be on steam summer sale

[@mahmam3128]

Amazing and very informative review as always man keep up the good work. also i have a silly question, do you recommend this one or horizon 3 at full price? i know they are kinda different but which one is more fun and less repetitive?

[@MstrCatChowming]

When I get my console from tassie and buy a tv this and ghost recon wildlands can't wait

[@SolidSnake684]

Really glad this is good. Put a ton of time into Dirt Rally. Gonna pick this up soon. Thanks Karak!

[@Tony-ml5bs]

Does anyone feel that if you are playing in automatic mode the car shifts at very stupid rpms? the WRX would shift 2-3k under redline. It basically forced me to learn to play the game with sequential on. Which is very weird when you use a controller

[@nathanprice6804]

Excellent review as always! Would you say it is still worth a buy if you don't have a proper steering wheel and are just using a ps4 controller?

[@derLenno]

nathan price still a fun game

[@ryerye3147]

what steering wheel set up do you use? I've been looking to purchase one but I would much prefer your seal of approval on one.

[@SnizelOfficial]

Subbed, you are just the best reviewer around.

[@ACGreviews]

my thanks spread the word

[@michaelwatkins9479]

can you do a toukiden 2 review? i have the free version but id like to hear your opinion before i get the full game

[@trumanpriest144]

Thank you for the great review! Might have to pick it up. Dirt 3 didn't do it for me at all, and Dirt Rally, although great - didn't have that "pick it up and run a quick, fun, race or two feel". It was more of a "need to have a solid hour or two of pure commitment and high anxiety feel". My only real disappointment in the Codemasters race games lately is the absence of Toyota. To me, nothing has yet compared to back in the day playing Colin McRae 2005 in the Toyota Celica GT-Four ST185.

[@rhd26]

You can choose what camera angle you want on replays

[@BVTzenamo]

Excellent review... totally agree.

[@munday78]

Great review as always. Using the Thrustmaster T150. The game recognized it right away, no fucking around. Adjusted the FFB a little and feels great. Im already looking up bands from the soundtrack lol. Can't wait to get back to it tomorrow.

[@ACGreviews]

ya I am using a logitech 920 and fuck its great steering work in this game

[@munday78]

Definitely. Kept me up till almost 4am. Time to pass out before my kid starts jumping on me in a couple hours :/

[@CanuckGT]

Who here loved Dirt 3 multiplayer! Cat and mouse is awesome it sucks they are taking out the mini games.

[@jambihd]

Man, I can't wait to get home from work tonight so I can play DiRT 4, been waiting so long and it looks just as good as DiRT Rally! Great review as always Karak!

[@taskanawa9604]

DIRT2 > ALL

[@horscht85]

man, have you even looked at the image when enabling advanced blending ? it looks so much better. oc you need a beast of a GPU for that, but it rocks.

[@LordLOC]

Sweet, can't wait to play this tomorrow. Also, just curious Karak - you showed plenty of tracks in the review along with the random weather effects (I assume random, could be wrong of course) etc. Please tell me there are baked in tracks that take place in say, Sweden aka snowy roads and snow falling?
