Dirt 5 is a good fun game but I would have loved to see some more Rally action, the other games in the dirt series always had rally stages dirt, dirt 2, dirt 3, dirt 4.. Its one thing that does dissapoint me a little

[@GaelPorFlo]

Dirt rally exists tho

[@GuyWhoLikesTheSnarkies1435]

@@GaelPorFlo It's more sim-based rally than the typical simcade middle ground the main series was known for until the 5th game. Rally mode should've just been a core element to practically every Dirt games and it's quite a mistake to omit it from the main series.

[@theninjamaster67]

I think it's a good direction to go cause the main Dirt games being rally games too makes Dirt Rally redundant I feel the main series should go for as many dirt type racing as they can without it feeling bloated and Dirt Rally can be the rally focused games for the fans that want that there's really no point in having two game series of the same name by the same company focused on rally racing.

[@knowledgeland9880]

@@theninjamaster67 Because money involved. Instead of releasing multiple games, they should have focused on supporting already existing games with multiple DLCs then after 3 years of support move onto a sequel or something. Nowadays we are getting almost annual CM games and racing genre has been stagnant for more than a solid decade now. I wish they stopped pumping out new games after Dirt 3 when the differences are almost niche between each other. But again, money is money.

Kinda. Dirt 5 effectively is a reboot to the main series, literally an entire new game made by different core development team as well, and it just happens to embrace the arcade side more so than its predecessor.
