Title: Codemasters racing game pack for cheeeeep Post by: jakonovski on April 30, 2010, 03:30:50 PM If you have a wired 360 controller and a pulse, you must buy this. Srsly, Dirt 2 alone is worth the price. It's so beautiful I'm getting an erection.
Title: Re: Codemasters racing game pack for cheeeeep Post by: CaptainNapkin on April 30, 2010, 08:30:35 PM Thinking about just Dirt 2, but are the others worth getting the entire collection? And the price is low enough to off set the need to upgrade the wheel. What's the top of the price/performance curve for force feedback wheels these days? It doesn't look like my old Formula Force GP will cut it in Win7.
Title: Re: Codemasters racing game pack for cheeeeep Post by: Azazel on April 30, 2010, 09:12:39 PM Keep in mind that DIRT 1 doesn't work on Win7. Doesn't cost much in the bundle (effectively free, if you buy the bundle) but just be aware.
I thought about this, but I'm much more of a console-racer myself. Title: Re: Codemasters racing game pack for cheeeeep Post by: Engels on April 30, 2010, 09:52:07 PM I have happily played Dirt2 with mouse and keyboard. It is an awesome game. I don't know about the rest. Reading the steam forums on some of the other titles left me feeling pretty ambivalent.

It doesn't look like my old Formula Force GP will cut it in Win7. Grid is the asphalt version of Dirt (ie. kind of like Gran Turismo for adhd sufferers, in a good way). The race ai in Grid is awesome, much much better than in many so called sims. Fuel is a weird one, a post-apocalyptic sandbox racer. It's a bit clunky, but if you like exploring and eye candy you can sink a dozen hours into it. None of these games are really good with wheels IMO, they're made for the gamepad. Title: Re: Codemasters racing game pack for cheeeeep Post by: CaptainNapkin on May 01, 2010, 10:03:51 AM Good to know, I've got a gamepad on the PC already. I've also had Grid for Xbox for a while from gamefly and I like it, great game to jump in here and there to get a quick racing fix. Thanks for feedback.
Title: Re: Codemasters racing game pack for cheeeeep Post by: jakonovski on May 02, 2010, 05:25:36 AM Lollerskates, Steam ran out of FUEL product keys. Nobody can play until sometime next week or whenever they get more from Codemasters.
Title: Re: Codemasters racing game pack for cheeeeep Post by: Azazel on May 03, 2010, 01:58:13 AM I have to say, FUEL looked good in the screenies. Almoat enough to tempt me.

Fuck. edit: DiRT2 = pretty and fun. After trashing the shit out of my car a couple times, playing directly after a round of GTA IV, it's nice to have a bit more finesse involved. And they call me Mo.

Title: Re: Codemasters racing game pack for cheeeeep Post by: Tebonas on May 04, 2010, 11:26:19 PM But they don't have the sale anymore. Damnit, shouldn't have waited to buy it until I can instantly play.
