My favorite part of this game, every time I play or see it, is those little dudes running out of the way when I come tearing through - lol - I wish DR2/WRC would add more crowd silliness.

[@joshwag9136]

Yes, you and me both. We.get animals in the road, and broken down cars. I wish we had more unexpected moment options. Also the crowd doesn't react even if you plow into them, though your co driver Does react in wrc 10

[@hugocorreia8039]

when the RBR game launched people would do that, right now when you go to a rally you have the police and the marshalls, thats why i dont think they should add that

[@ericpullen524]

I am in the US, so I had to order this from the UK. I built my first race sim setup for this game. Logitech MOMO wheel and a rig built from 2x4 and Plywood. Used an old VW Rabbit (Mk1 Golf for those outside the US) seat. It was awesome!

When you go through the training scenarios you see right away how well the game reproduces understeer, oversteer under the 3 different surfaces just in the wheel alone. It's really well done. Ton of effort, 16 YEARS ago too! Good algorithms go a long way!

[@gabehowe2778]

I really have to try RBR don’t I? I’m a bit obsessed with DR2 at the moment so I guess I need to try it. Edit: if you’re feeling up to it Jimmer, I would love to see some online rally streams. GPLaps have been doing them and I have been really enjoying them.

[@beracinq]

Do it! I took a long time to give it a try but it is just so much more realistic then DR2. It is not as smooth and polished tho! The mods are easy to install but sometimes you need to tweak a few things. If this puts you off, then you better dont try it! :)

[@zknarc]

Especially for rally

[@recarsion]

What I love about RBR is how lively the cars feel, somehow just more intuitive and more connected to the road than Dirt Rally or even EA WRC, and you can actually spin on throttle, you can't just floor it and get out of trouble automatically. Also how the hell do the stages feel more authentic than in modern games despite the lack of graphical detail and being made by independent modders for free... Absolutely mental that a now 20 year old game is still the gold standard for the rally genre.

[@realfakecars]

[@snoozieboi]

Love this game, gotta play it again. Played the modded RBR online, it started with a few weeks of DNF's then I started to drive slower and then I had few weeks of top 500 and I then I just improved my pace from that till I got to top 20.

[@kaspeerbtw9809]

you're exaclty describing my experience in DR2 ahahah, at first it was really hard because I had no clue about how to drive, abou the corners etc... Then I started to finish some stages and I'm actually at the step where I can perform, like I'm usually in top 1000/500 in stages and I must have to admit, DR2 is a very good sim and game and I realy love rally, so being able to make it in the World Top 500 is something very cool and it was worth the pain

[@gustavogoesgomes1863]

what kills me most in this game are the cursed pace notes. you literally have to learn what each codriver understands as "medium right", "flat left" and so on and even after you do, you will be caught off guard by something infuriating, like a flat left followed by a hairpin right, as if you could go flat out and then brake on time... not even a caution, anything. sometimes it feels like the codriver is actually just trying to kill you both lol

[@Puhdull]

That's because the pace notes are made by the map creator and in some cases are "lazily" done to influence you to edit and make you own.

[@gustavogoesgomes1863]

[@HollidaySpessa]

ppl don't like rbrpro for very VERY good reason, but i think the pacenote plugin they have is so far ahead it's crazy as it's so easy to edit notes and make your own notes and voice pack (i use my own voice, if you check my channel.) if RSF had something like it, that would be a total godsend; especially because i use angular pacenotes vs 1-6/medium easy/etc. which is a very limiting factor for playing RSF, especially when i jus do time trials offline.

Im very biased on dirt rally 1 & 2 but ive experienced the satisfaction of when you get the hang of it. I turn all assists off besides co pilot, only assist i use is the auto clutch for controller. Sometimes abs and particularly on paved road courses. Im not the best and i know how sometimes just getting into it youve gotta go slow forst before you go fast. Then when im ready get my subaru that loves to be driven with the phrase in mind, when in doubt flat out. Im sure it fits other cars pretty well too, but just my experience if you go slow then you have to go really slow. Feels like the car is always trying to finish the last turn you made. Its like youre constantly overcorrecting but thats just the surfaces youre driving on making you lose traction.
