They didn't have the licences for the cars so they changed one letter for each car manufacturer
Looks like The Crew faction will be Crocodiles, with the final vote count being 22 for Crocs, 20 for Bears. Paltala (or whoever makes the spreadsheet), please confirm.
>>11603240
I didn't make the spreadsheet (cunt got there before me)
But post the results here, I'll check then update the page

Any Crew players know how to get rid of faggots that somehow end up on your crew? Somehow I got this guy on my crew and I don't know how to remove him (and I've looked everywhere).

Press ESC to open the menu and choose Crew, then click on him (or you) and kick (or leave).

I hope you have more rice options for the La Ferrari. The Aventador had a nice selection of body parts.
>>11603370
Sadly you don't.
>>11603346
Thanks much. I'll also try to figure out a way to change faction (I somehow got put on wolves) but that's for another time.

I rather farm the drive from point A to B missions than risking to waste 1 hour for abolutely nothing.

Time to upgrade maybe.
>>11603415
Yeah those missions seem to be totally useless. Just do PvP.

O-okay that's a totally normal resolution
Actually the template is at 4096x5880

i just stomped a miata race, by over 15 seconds.

Just joined Croc, still more than 10 minutes to find a PvP game, maybe im just searching in the wrong area
>>11603510
Because baddies.
Sub-1000 iRating people are usually too shit to get to the upper licenses because if you finish like half the race you'll finish better than that but there are some serious slow shits who don't hit too much stuff and the licenses are super lax (like one wreck a race in the shorter races is the average for an A)
>>11603530
Are you doing Faction v Faction or FFA? I find Free for All matches are easier to find.
god bless
>wrecking GEETEARUs with this
fucking commies
>>11602300
nice. I'll concede the high-end TIs are generally better than the high-end Casios, and have more of a following so more user-generated content. But the latest Casio (fx-CG20) looks pretty nice.
Here are mine. I don't like the two BA II Pluses much but it was either those or the HP 12C and I'm too pleb for RPN (KURWA). The Algebra FX is pretty good but not god-tier, I only really got it because it was cheap.
Not pictured: my trusty CFX-9800G. Pretty much the predecessor of Lancer's >>11602398 except it's got a dodgy mid-90s design complete with fake rivets. Same comedy 3-colour screen though. I must have dropped that thing hundreds of times but it still helped me BTFO many a maths exam in its day.

So, i've been thinking of getting The Crew, but people were not happy with how the cars handle. Can you describe how do they feel, when compared to other titles?

>>11601172

I'm happy to do more, just let me know which ones you want.
>>11602411
>If he wants to keep doing Forza rips FM4 has the Corvette, the 430, and 2 Panoz.
I'll probably do the 430 next unless anyone has a better idea.
>But then it becomes the muh illegal bootleg mods series too.
Is this a problem? It sure as hell is better than waiting months for someone to model one when we can just use one that already exists.
>Looks real silly having a "GT3" series with half GT2 cars
Autist alert. Seriously though it's not really an issue, there are only slight model variations. The cars themselves were in GT3, maybe with slightly different aero but it's not like I'm completely making things up.
>and all of those won't be done in the next few weeks.
Is that a challenge? The Gallardo only took a couple of days. It doesn't take long once you have everything sorted and are used to the process.
>>11603644
The physics for the most part are definitely arcadey, but the cars do have a bit more weight to them than other arcade titles. I'd say it's a bit weightier than your average NFS.
>>11603702
Start going through the main missions. As you level she'll start telling you about new factions with each region she sends you to (example, when you're told to head to Miami, you unlock Crocodiles). To manually switch, open the dashboard in Map view, and scroll to the Factions tab. At the bottom it'll say Faction Change. Since the game hasn't been out for 7 days it'll likely tell you that you've already chosen a faction, therefore can't switch. Only alternative to that at the moment is progressing through the missions, which allows you to change without the 7-Day penalty.
>>11603724
How weighty are they compared to the 2010 Hot Pursuit? The cars are pretty goddamn heavy there
>>11603736
I honestly couldn't tell you, never played it.
>>11603722
430s a good choice. Also maybe the 458 after? Only if you're certain the model you're converting is the GT3 model. Otherwise we could just BoP the Kunos 458 GT2.
>>11603734
thanks.
Also, post Miura's
>year 2016-2
>not having a mid mounted spoiler
How does The Crew car physics and handling compare to, say, Forza Motorsports 4? Can you drift in The Crew without stupid bullshit drifting like in Need for Speed?
>>11603758
ok
>>11603736
way heavier, way more sim than hot pursuit 3
you can actually "feel" the weight of each vehicle and you never have any "get out of jail free" moments. everything you do while driving has its consequences. if you make a mistake, you have to live with it, there's no boosting out of it or anything
>>11603755
Those are all GT2s, Forza has a ton of ALMS GT cars and jack squat for GT3s really (literally just the older model versions of the cars AC already has)
The 458 race car in FM4 is the exact same year and spec as the one in AC.
>>11603768
drifting is actually fairly hard to pull of.
some cars are better at it, some are worse, but none are NFS or burnout tier drifting
>>11603758
>>11603771
Welp, now I know what my next car is going to be.

What's wrong?
>>11603143
It's all about how many clean laps you run consecutively. So if you fuck up in the first lap, let's say a 4x, if you run the rest cleanly you'll still come out positive.

Does anyone else use a perf spec 458 speciale? I think the mechanics on it are fucked, the handling is really skittish and using nos at any speed means the back wheels instantly lose traction
also it has virtually no power below around 5k RPM despite having about 600+ hp

Should I get the crew? I don't mind ubi$oft and I like the idea of a relatively popular mmo where I can rice and rally and race cars.
Is it worth the money? Or should I wait for winter sale?

I immediately regretted buying it. Dont waste your money.
>>11604038
From a gameplay standpoint, is it just need for speed most wanted (original) with rallying and mmo stuff?
>>11604051
It's TDU2 with rallying, MMO elements and microtransactions.
>>11604064
I can dig it, are the microtransactions on performance things or cosmetic? Or if there are microtransactions on performance things can you earn them normally?
I threw this together real quick
http://youtu.be/3S2Ponpy2vc
>>11604072
There's microtransactions for perk points (perks give small bonuses, you get 49 from leveling) and buying vehicles (which you can buy with ingame currency too).

>>11603755
Just BoP the Kunos one I guess, no point having two models of the same car.
I'll start on the 430 even though 'technically' it is a GT2 model.
>>11603907
>Jaguar XKR GT
>Panoz Esperante GTLM
I might do those and make them GT3 just to annoy you :^)
From Shift 2 I can also try

>aston_martin_dbrs9
>chevrolet_corvette_gt3
>ford_gt_gt3
I'm not sure about Shift conversions but if I can get them to work that should make a pretty nice GT3 field.
>>11603644
Sort of like the original Horizon, with less assists.
>>11604159
Also, there are a few variations in the way the vehicles upgrade into different specs. A Dirt spec Mustang gets an AWD conversion with heavy rear bias, and the '67 Challenger gets an open diff. The Dirt R34 runs closer to 50-50 center diff and can pull off the most hektik full throttle boosting skids.
I should get the Focus!
