Games been out for a little while now and I’m sure some of you have encountered some funny things, glitches or whatever happen to you. Well let’s hear some of the stories of what you’ve run into.
One of mine is for a very brief moment I had the one and only true unicorn car in the game. Car in front of me drove right through all the road cones through a corner making them all fly through the air. One landed near perfectly in the middle of my windshield and upright. It stayed right there coming out of the corner and all the way down the straightaway till I turned into the next corner and flew off. For about a good 8 seconds that little bigger held on giving my car a horn like it was a bull rider. Probably a record to for the most distance traveled by a road cone in the game.
OK, here’s something “funny”. Keep in mind that this is my first racing game since the C64, besides FM6 Apex, which was just an extended demo. Anyway, I was out at my favorite track in my favorite car in free play trying to beat my personal best and was going flat out, full throttle, or at least I thought so. I happened to glance at those tiny blue bars in the lower right, and I thought … “isnt’t that the throttle indicator, and shouldn’t it be filled up completely when I’m going at full throttle?” open telemetry "Hm, that number looks an awful lot like 90% because it starts with a 9 and ends with a 0. " So I opened controller settings and reduced the deadzone to 85 %. “Oh, so THIS is how full throttle feels like!” I had been wondering why my lap times were awful, I mean I’m not the best driver, far from it, but so many seconds on a relatively short lap? And people had been overtaking me so easily on the straights online in similar cars to mine and my starts were always slow … So basically I have been going 90% throttle from Sep 29 until Oct 19. You have to press REALLY hard on the trigger on my controller, beyond the point where it naturally stops, to make it go all the way. Yes, I know I’m a n000b!
