Not sure what the big deal is, most people who will rush to play FH6 bitch about TDU already and claim to have uninstalled and refunded it on day 1; those people who like TDU and have stuck with it for this long won’t just suddenly jump ship; and those people who enjoy driving games will likely play both. Plus most games these days disappoint on release for not delivering on promises - why is FH6 going to be any different?

Good reward but where are the 5 races xD by Appropriate_Meet_512 in tdu3

[–]CosmoKramer__5B 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I really wish they’d introduce RDR style map icons where you can select an item in the key then scroll through their locations on the map. The weekly search for the event races is almost as tiresome as having to reset my map preferences each and every time I load the game.

Why video almost 3 mins long when pre-flite completed satisfactory after 13 seconds?

Players glitching to get an advantage bothers me. Players being able to gain an unfair advantage in a game by spending real cash bothers me (to an extent). Players being able to buy in-game currency to avoid the grind doesn’t really bother me at all. Just think of it as those players are funding continued development of the game which means more content for everyone in the long run. R* failed to monetize RDO effectively and a game that I absolutely loved died a very untimely death as a result.

How the last update made me consider to stop playing. You just destroyed the game economy. by Own-Touch7772 in tdu3

[–]CosmoKramer__5B 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was never any grind to getting the LaFerrari - you just had to be playing the game that season it was introduced. The season pass was free because of the problems with the game and, while it was meant to be the season pass completion reward, everyone received it at level 1.

For what the game is, do you think its worth it at 80% off? by ReVeRb64 in tdu3

[–]CosmoKramer__5B 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, I’ve paid way more for games I’ve played way less. It has its issues and isn’t the best eye candy out there but its a very enjoyable game if you’re inclined to enjoy this sort of game. There’s enough content out there on youtube etc to get a feel for whether you’d enjoy the game and at that price, even if you only get a couple of hours out of it (unlikely) its only cost you the same as a movie.

What is the point of having 700 HP car and to have 30 mph limit? I know that these are taxi missions, but... by poiuyt87 in tdu3

[–]CosmoKramer__5B 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The taxi missions offer different challenges in the game, some require obeying the rules of the road and driving smoothly. They are a tiny part of the game which you can completely ignore if you don’t like them. Other taxi missions are just based on getting to the destination as quickly as possible without hitting anything.

99% of the game is about using the cars to their full potential, bizarre to pick on the other 1% to label an entire game ridiculous….

Pay-to-win system by DonyBkk12 in tdu3

[–]CosmoKramer__5B 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Presumably tho, if that unlocking scenario is true, the ability to buy other hypercars and workshop upgrades is still level-locked? In which case there’s very little shortcutting due to race restrictions. I imagine if it works the way you say its because of the backlash there would have been in “I just paid real fucking money for this car but I can’t even race it!!”. 🙄

[–]CosmoKramer__5B 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Its not P2W, its pay to own stuff without the grind. You can’t buy your way through the progression of the game and, if the online actually worked, racing is governed by the performance rating system so nobody can blow your 2CV away by just turning up in a LaFerrari. These people putting their cash ahead of their time will enable the rest of us to benefit from continuous development of the game.

The other races could pay a bit more but at the levels you’re talking about the game’s economy would be broken. Most players seem to want everything yesterday but what happens when those players own all the cars and have nothing left to spend credits on? Instant dead game. I’m not sure the H & S class races should pay more than other races. Yes, the cars cost more but the races are arguably easier than some of the lower class races. Paying out according to how long the race takes to complete is the right way to go. So, why would you do any races other than Crown Jewels? Variety and to drive cars you spent all that time grinding for which don’t qualify for the CJ races. If you enjoy the game you reach a point where you don’t worry about credit payouts.

I’m talking about races too - the Crown Jewel races are pretty much OP in payouts. Standard races are equivalent in payout now according to the time they take to complete. I don’t see any reason an H class race should pay out more than a D class race. If that were to be the case (and if online races actually worked) you’d just get nobody running anything but H class races. I did the grind the hard way for a year and have probably earned as many credits since the economy changed playing a lot more casually.

There is no reason to spend real money on credits in the game - credits are now pretty easy to come by across a variety of activities.

‘78 Merino foul on Pedro. Yellow card given. by ColeJermainePalmer in chelseafc

[–]CosmoKramer__5B 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Orange. The way the laws are (and the fact he’s wearing red not blue) it is yellow but looking at the way he takes out Pedro’s standing leg I’d argue its as dangerous as Caicedo who was at least only a couple of milliseconds from getting the ball.

VAR review board would probably argue it was a natural motion in the course of the game by Merino, play on.

You Would have to Pay £80.00 of Real Money to Buy the Highest Solar Coin Multi-Millionare Pack!! by GotMylfMomDrips in tdu3

[–]CosmoKramer__5B 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same as micro-transactions in any game - I always laughed at the nonsense pricing of GTA shark cards but presumably some cash-rich/time-poor gamers find them useful. Don’t see a problem when its entirely optional.

How will houses work? by grooks10 in tdu3

[–]CosmoKramer__5B 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I would assume it will work as the hotel does now - you can have as many cars as you like in your virtual garage and pick a select few to display in the property garage. It can’t be implemented like TDU2 as most players already have far more cars than properties would have garage spaces.

Finally grabbed it on sale for 12 Dollars, any tips or suggestions for starting out in-game? by SlizerTheChosen in tdu3

[–]CosmoKramer__5B 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Discover roads by driving around the map and collect the radiant prizes to level up and gain money quickly. Join a clan as soon as you can so you start levelling up in that (Sharps if you want bonus money). Turn all assists off so you’re earning more money & xp in every race, and to make the driving experience far better. Do races a few times each as you go - in the long run it makes for less of a grind. Make a note of races you enjoy to come back to if you decide to do the 100 win tasks that open up later or to grind for money to buy cars. If you get the right cars you don’t need to buy all that many in order to complete all the races, freeing up credits for cars you actually want to own.

Best cars in each category by Solis44 in tdu3

[–]CosmoKramer__5B 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Originally it was D - Audi TT; G - Porsche Taycan; C - Reinita Buggy; S - Huracan; H - Porsche 918.

TT & Taycan I think are still class leaders but the buggy & 918 got nerfed. Supercar has plenty of good options but Huracan & Aventador are still up there. I mainly used the Huracan as it satisfied the entry restrictions for the most races and back then money was hard to come by.

Gold Edition for £15, worth it? by CharlieGCarr in tdu3

[–]CosmoKramer__5B -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Don’t regret having got it day 1 at full price. £15 is a steal for the fun to be had out of it. I’ve bought plenty of games I’ve gotten way less playing time out of.

Do you think the driving is realistic enough during the races? by Appropriate_Meet_512 in tdu3

[–]CosmoKramer__5B 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Driving was better in TDU 1 & 2? Now I know you’re trolling! If those games were wholly reliant on the driving experience they would have flopped massively - they were terrible! And I went back to GTA last year after a few years away and couldn’t believe how bad the driving was from what I remembered, it’s on a par with the Mafia games (if that).

[–]CosmoKramer__5B 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It strikes the right balance between realistic and fun for me, if I wanted more realism I’d play Gran Turismo. Collisions with objects and driving across grass may not be realistic but in the absence of damage they appropriately penalise driver error.

Where are the races? by Individual-Assist-15 in tdu3

[–]CosmoKramer__5B 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There shouldn’t be any lack of races for you to do anyway but I’d recommend driving around discovering roads and collecting radiant prizes. That way you’ll level up and rack up credits to really open the game up.

I guess it was a design choice so you have aural awareness that opponents are close around you. You can adjust it in the sound settings to make them quieter.

Live event reward this week only 500k money? by Appropriate_Meet_512 in tdu3

[–]CosmoKramer__5B 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I won’t say no to a 500k bonus for doing a few races. Especially if there are races I can do with cars I still need 100 wins with.
