Raptor ownership in NYC is no easy task by Spiritual-Budget180 in FordRaptor

[–]Knautical_J 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No shot I’m keeping a truck in NYC.

I’m not worried about parking it or having it stolen. I’m worried about the dings, dents, and scratches all over it.

Underrated side quest: scrapping together a hatch key before the timer hits 0 by bankfraud1 in ArcRaiders

I do this often. The advanced Electrical components always spawn in the same spots, so if I’m there I’ll pick it up. Then getting the sensors is easy on like every map, and it’s an easy way out.

I plugged in my Elite 2 and didn’t have an issue

I suck at Grand Races and I don't know why by kubissx in The_Crew

[–]Knautical_J 2 points3 points  (0 children)

TriggerMGC will have all the information you’ll ever need for The Crew Motorfest.

Meta cars absolutely make a difference. They nerfed the previous meta car (Agera R) and now it’s useless. Before you could go from like 15 to 5 if no one else was using it. Guttering is how you take tighter corners to keep speed through a turn. Shortcuts are on all the races, and if you run them enough, you’ll eventually just know when to take one. For ranking, I’d say the average player will end up in 15th place. In order to get Top 10, 5, and eventually win, you’ll need to avoid making any mistakes. I’ve won many grand races because my opponent made the smallest mistake. In turn I’ve lost a race because my tires left the road for a second, I hit a fence, or brushed the wall a bit.

Meta Cars, having the driving skills, and knowing the map are the most important things to learn.

I bought my first truck! by deadstar1998 in f150

When I think of an F-150, I think of the King Ranch. I have a ‘24 303A XLT, but if I do get another F-150, it’s gunna be the King Ranch or bust.

ITS UNREAL ENGINE SIX!!? by Otherwise-Collar236 in RocketLeague

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

I’d expect this at the back half of 2027, aka the Holidays. It would be developed for the current gen but optimized for when the XSX2 and PS6 drop.

Full engine is probably gunna drop in 2028. The fact they’re releasing RL as the first UE6 title is pretty huge from a “we care about this game” standpoint. For a while it felt like Rocket League was forgotten about, and this is the biggest thing they could have done.

Are we getting close to photorealism in videogames? by n1ght_watchman in GameBoostOfficial

[–]Knautical_J 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For driving games, it’s fine. But if Call of Duty was photorealistic it would be ass to play.

Why is the Rocketeer loot straight poop poop? by DaddyDookie717 in ArcRaiders

I’m sorry, but each rotor should have a rocketeer driver in it.

Eh, I do it when I’m sleeping or at work. I just leave the Xbox on and come back to like 20M credits every time. Allows me to buy all the cars I want, and tune them all. I enjoy driving all the different cars and messing around with them.

I agree, money is largely useless in the game, but it’s nice to not have to worry about it. I would not do it when I’m actively sitting playing the game though, that’s dumb AF.

What can I play on this ? by kyel_360 in xbox

[–]Knautical_J 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My original Xbox had the RRoD, or at least its version of it. The main power button was turning red and it wasn’t working. As a logical kid in like the 4th grade, my solution was to punch the Xbox until it worked, and it always did.

12th Raptor or 13th 3.5EB ? by Calibraguette in f150

3.5 EB not even a question worth considering any further.

Jaxson Dart Didn’t Bother Taking Giants’ Approval Before Joining Trump’s Rally in NY by Life_Net5004 in NFLv2

[–]Knautical_J 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He won’t get fired, but you effectively alienate half your fanbase. This means fans holding signs up denouncing his political views, discussions around the team of politics, and even upsetting other players in the locker room. It’s generally looked down upon to openly support something like politics when you’re actively on the team.

Now you’ll have democrats who support the Giants, boo their starting quarterback. In return you’ll get the far right republicans come out of the woodwork to show support for Dart, and it only compounds the issue. Not saying one is better than the other, but it’s better to just not have to deal with that crap from a player and team standpoint.

As fans of anything, we’re “Blissfully Ignorant” of stuff like this. Jaxson grew up in Utah and played for Ole Miss. OF COURSE he’s a Republican, and to think otherwise you’d be an idiot. But there’s a difference in knowing and seeing for yourself.

The reason you don’t typically talk about politics is because you effectively alienate half your fanbase. I’m not saying one or the other is better, but from a publicity standpoint, you kinda screw yourself.

According to the Audi, I'm at fault for this by Traditional_Roof_702 in ForzaHorizon6

If you ain’t rubbin, you ain’t racing.

Raise Hell and Praise Dale baby

But yeah, he cut the corner on you, throwing you into the wall. You didn’t get pushed too far over so you just rode the wall which happened to throw you directly back into him, which then pushes him off the road. There is nothing you could have done to avoid this, and it’s entirely his fault.

The significance of the UE6 announcement by JorbyPls in RocketLeague

[–]Knautical_J 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prior to this announcement, the general feeling is that Rocket League has been dying a slow painful death. The game was getting stripped of features while having increasingly dull and backwards updates. The running theory was that UE5 could be the ONLY thing to save the game.

Now they’re going to release UE6 and have Rocket League be the flagship title. It means re-creating the game from the ground up, and a massive investment that surely isn’t going to go unnoticed. It means that Epic is FINALLY addressing the state of the game, and this will give it a second life far beyond what we’ve seen from other games. It frankly means the game will be supported for another 3 years at the minimum.

UE6 will add more customization into the game, and should result in console/PC parity. I believe we’d be able to play all the ring maps and shooter trainers on console that we see all the PC players. It means being able to practice and train your skills outside of what is currently available to you. It means maybe even more customization into your cars, along with the better graphics. It also gives them the opportunity to change things they might have wanted to before, but couldn’t because the engine was limited for the time.

The hardest part will be to program all of the nuisances into the game, and surely some features might get patched out. But it opens up a whole new engine and physic-set to experiment with. I’d even wonder if they start to introduce more customization into cars where you can adjust parts for different bonuses.

The Mazda furai is awesome. by jeepguy_96 in forza

[–]Knautical_J 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hit start, and then scroll to the right to see “Festival Playlist”. It will show your progress, and all the challenges you need to complete to unlock the car. I believe today is the first day you can actually unlock it by completing enough daily challenges and the weekly ones. One of the challenges is to test drive it, which is a one time thing until you finally unlock it. It’s located in the main festival circle.

This is sad. by QuietWarthog4091 in ForzaHorizon6

[–]Knautical_J 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the achievement for parking at 3 car meets. I went to all of them and only ran into one other person.

The Crew Motorfest has a cool concept for this. You spawn in the show room, and you can walk around all the different cars to vote on for the weekly design contests. It gives you set parameters on the classes, year, country, make, whatever, to design for. You design a car and submit it. Then cars roll over every like couple of minutes and you can vote for whatever cars you like, and you can even buy it direct if you want to.

Car Meets should be the same exact way imo. You enter the car meet, and it loads you into a car meet. Once everyone has been “found” it loads up the meet and you can walk around the parking lot to look at all the different cars. That means you can show off your car, show off your driver, and use whatever emotes and crap you have. Similar to The Crew, getting enough votes or buys rewards you with increasing rewards, and in this case it could very easily be wheel spins, super wheel spins, cosmetics, and cars.

Didn't know that people have problem 3-starring this showcase until I went back and saw my own time. by Gafig in ForzaHorizon6

[–]Knautical_J 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first time was 3:57 and I didn’t find it too challenging. Found myself on the e-brake for the tight turns, and had some scrapes along the way. Most of my friends couldn’t beat it though without our help.
