One make means all vehicles are identical right?
Then how the frick am i being overtaken and left for dust by vehicles that are Stock and the SAME AS MINE?
I could understand performance differences if they were upgraded but they arent
Annoyingly this isnt in all races so I just cant work out what the frick is wrong with these cars
Well that happens with every car… try Goliath on unbeatable.
these extreme-e races seem more like the scripted expeditions than the normal racing in the game imo…
i found the 14 races ive done so far an awful experience, never used so many rewinds in my life in single races… i think its the lack of sound deceiving my perception of driving the tracks idk…
you are right, It should just be one vehicle with 10 liveries to choose from not 10 same cars in garage…
this weeks races seem shorter aswell, which just adds to my frustration as a single mistake means a restart most times in these vehicles…
i even quit this weeks championship on the 2nd race after more frustrating minutes…
The HW pack, which ive not bought, has annoyed me this week being everywhere in your face if you bought it or not… but i thought i’d just carry on as normal… these vehicles have made me quit & turn the game off for the 1st time ever… hoping its not the beginning of the end for me
changing the gear-ratio according to the race track fixed it for me…
the default gearing is a little bit to short for fast tracks
I use the car with oranges on it, and the 5 star tune for it. It wins easily. I find the cars easy to drive.
@Mankunian3733 Man you are echoing my feelings on the e junk and Hot mess. This is a good time to check out dirt 5 and some other racing games on gamepass.
At least now you can auction off this junk. I got rid of all my hot wheels junk. Now to clear this junk out of the garage.
Try out co-op. The game will matchmake you with randoms and you’ll most likely finish each championship in only 2 races.
The scoring is the same as the Trial so if you win the first two races, you don’t have to do the 3rd race.
Definitely the way to go. The seasonal championships are a bit easy playing normally but the addition of human element adds a bit of unpredictability.
I got these vehicles to work. Held two back for A and S1, selling the rest for a few million. I’m happier with these vehicles than I was before.
can’t stress how much other racing games have saved me from just mentally draining myself with FH5.
I have to agree with the OP: these Extreme E cars are junk, particularly with a wheel. You literally have to stand on the brakes to even begin to slow down. It like driving on ice. They have ZERO grip and oversteer like a MF, regardless of how much you try to tune it out. And not having any engine braking through downshifting makes them less than worthless in a race. Fortunately so far I’ve been able to avoid the seasonal races with this junk and still get enough points for the seasonal cars.
Dirt 5 sucks. I mean it’s fun to try for an hour then it sucks.
I can’t believe I haven’t seen this anywhere on the internet yet, but the El Descenso Cross Country Extreme E event is literally impossible on Highly Skilled.
Edit: Finally finished it after modifying my buggy. Still, after this experience, I hold nothing but ill will towards every person involved in Extreme E in real life, the developers who though this a good track choice, and the executives who approved of this collaboration.
what you expect from the dev?
EVs aren’t that bad, had fun in mine. Didn’t perfect corner though.
That happens to me every time I incorrectly think I’m on the final lap and try to finish the race Ridge Racer style.
That was intentional. Was trying to carry it around the corner but did it too early.
I also use a wheel and have none of the issues you describe. For me its fun to do races with them.
Really, I’m not that good but won that one on HS using the #44 and a “Don’t give a Deuce” tune without any problem. My fault at first was I kept to much throttle on before taking a corner and to soon and hard after it. My experience is thus, be more gentle using the throttle than needed for other cars and you’ll be fine.
