Ok ok, I’ll try to make this as serious as possible… Firstly I’ll talk about the AI because jeez they look like they are on damn acid, they tend to put 250 MP/H at like a car that would only go on a maximum of 200 MP/H, I personally find this a bit of bull and I even bought a car that the AI was using just to make sure and… I still got my butt beaten by the same damn car driven by the AI, nice…, the AI tends to full throttle and don’t brake at all at some turns, resulting in them mostly falling of the track just to respawn a few seconds later and latter they sometimes make some turns that you would likely to reduce the speed A LOT only braking a little bit and sometimes doing like 90 degree turns almost perfectly where a human would likely to struggle a bit. Secondly the damage… seriously you can’t do simulation damage as most of the jumps will damage the car and sometimes the car almost does a frontflip on some of those jumps, leaving the car hanging in vertical just to stop back on the track and backing this off to the AI as they don’t seem to take damage you will likely lose performance on your vehicle and so get easily beaten by them. And finally I would like to point that all those problems mixed with the difficulty settings on the menu, they don’t seem to do a lot of difference, I had to reduce to EASY just to get past the last event because of the aforementioned problems.
Now I would say… why? The base game was fun to play, although it had some of those problems it was like “half of it”, Blizzard Mountain was a breeze to play, with the difficulty just plain right (a bit too easy I’d honestly say), now why the hell would the HotWheels DLC be like that? It cuts off all the fun part and just keeps being way frustrating to play, it took me 50 minutes just to perfect an event, yes… 50 minutes… I honestly am bothered with that, I decided to achieve 100% on HotWheels but like that It’ll be a pain just to do so, it’s way too much for me. And yes, I played most of the game with the unbeatable difficulty and now I can’t believe I have to reduce it just to get past some of the events…
I will end this with some questions. Does this happen only to me? Am I the only one who finds this particular DLC to be frustrating? Am I the only person who thought the DLC would be fun, and then ended up like this?
If you read through all of this please comment on this thread to keep me or maybe other players who have the same thoughts or similar thoughts about it informed. Thanks!
I actually thought the Hot wheels DLC was easier than blizzard mountain DLC but that’s just me…I don’t bother with unbeatable difficulty because I know I wont enjoy it
what i do find a bit frustrating is how out of the field of 12 theres always 1 or 2 that are as fast if not faster than me to the point that if i dont have the drivatars set to the absolute lowest i will lose by huge margins. Its not down to cornering speeds because the drivatars are still brake heavy on corners, its more down to the cars are simply massively faster on straights, to the point that i have to look behind me and actively block them and if i miss a block they are gone because the margin of error is SO small due to closing speeds
Also while i have these 1 or 2 that are going uber hack speed all the others are going at the expected lowest possible setting speed and usually finish 20-30 seconds behind the top 1-3 finishers
why are there such huge differences in drivatar speeds, why cant i scale the drivatars up to make them a challenge instead of having to become a pro elite blocker just to beat the “easiest” setting. Also this whole uberhack thing wasnt even a thing early game and i used to play with my drivatars on above average or even the next step again in the original australia content. Heck i was lapping cars when doing that 25 lap pro driver race achievement because i picked a track i was very good at and had it all rolled in my favour despite the very high drivatar skill.
gone are those days, easiest settings block or lose. Seems a bit off
Dont play the easy settings
If you arent happy with the fast drivatars change your hired drivatars
I always had high level avatars and as I mentioned, they only seem to go over the top speed on HW, and yes, they will most likely push the car even off its limit which is extremely frustrating because you know that car can’t do that…
