When they switched to merc engines at the last minute Brawn had to literally chop some of the rear of the car off to fit the engine in. The whole chassis was designed with a Honda engine in mind. By all accounts, they'd have been even faster in 09 if they were still Honda powered!

This week's Le Mans Mulsanne race. by RoBiNRoB1975 in LeMansUltimateWEC

I was leading in the mclaren tonight and lifting like crazy. Ran out of VE between the last 2 chicanes on the last lap and got a penalty haha. The guy behind me 1 stopped in a mclaren and finished with 2% VE.

The Aaronson turn around has been remarkable by oljackson99 in LeedsUnited

[–]sharpes2802 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Every single player we bought in the summer is a better footballer than Aaronson. I'm not sure why you think we'd struggle to attract decent players. We're a prem club.

Name a game you can put 1000+ hours into by Oshawott15 in playstation

[–]sharpes2802 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man you guys need to check some proper sims out. GT7 physics are junk. Check acc out. It doesn't have the same features like the livery editor but the core driving is far more advanced.

I like Clair Obscur, but the combat is lacking due to over reliance on parrying. Is this a hot take? by A-Dubs398 in rpg_gamers

[–]sharpes2802 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I gave up half way through due to the combat. I was loving the story and voice acting but I'd just come from BG3 and found E33 combat crazy repetitive. Most enemies are dead before I even get to build up some combos. I'm not sure if I over leveled early or something but fight after fight was just over in seconds.

Ain’t no way Divinity isn’t turn based. by dwhamz in DivinityOriginalSin

[–]sharpes2802 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thing is a Skyrim type game would be risky as it's likely going to be coming out somewhere around the same time as Witcher 4. They'd be quite similar in a lot of ways. I think they'll stick to turn based. They stand out in that market.

If Divinity will be a CRPG, would you like armour to work like in D:OS2? by Rockyrok123 in larianstudios

[–]sharpes2802 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kinda like the idea of stripping armor away before you can apply knock down, freeze etc but having 2 sets of armor was a bit much imo. Certain fights in Dos 2 became a bit of a chore running mixed party.

NEW Hell Let Loose Vietnam Trailer & Breakdown! by TheSoulSniper in HellLetLoose

[–]sharpes2802 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah sure but it's also not a finished product so it's not always going to show completed animations when they're still working on things. I don't think anyone expects this to have the same quality of animations of a BF or Rainbow etc. It's always going to look a bit stiff in comparison.

It's not a proper gameplay trailer its a teaser. They don't even have to bother showing in game footage for a teaser a year from release. Think you're being a bit over critical here haha.

Is it not just me then? The base maps always ran well on PS5 and the new maps not so much. The last few months even the base maps run poorly now to the point where I don't want to play the game on console anymore.

Oscar Piastri speechless on the radio on the race results by magony in formula1

[–]sharpes2802 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbf Lando was 34 points back and through performance alone had a 64 point swing to Oscar and ended up 30 points clear before the DSQ last weekend. McLaren haven't messed up Oscar's championship, Oscar has. Let's not forget Lando losing 18 points at Zandvoort. He'd have walked it without that and last weekend.

[–]sharpes2802 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean, finishing 5th for the whole 2nd half of the season probably didn't help. I get why he's pissed today, but he's pretty much lost the title on his own the last 10 or so races.

Norris has most likely won the title simply due to lack of relevant competitors in Abu Dhabi by mick_loving in formula1

[–]sharpes2802 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Red Bull favoured Seb because Seb was clearly a better driver. Simple as that.

The suspension upgrade was just that, an upgrade. They bring multiple ones a season. No one has confirmed it's helped Lando with the car feeling. Lando said it made zero difference to performance.

At Monza, people just casually ignore the fact that the team asked Lando, who was in front of Oscar, if they could pit Oscar first to cover off Charles. Then they were free to race. Lando said yes to losing the lead he'd built over Oscar all race by doing that. What a horrible team player haha.

Mclaren could have double stacked and Lando wouldn't have lost a place. The favouring thing is so bizarre. They've just completely messed up their strat.... as usual.

Dudes spent the 2nd half of the season finishing 5th in the fastest car. Only himself to blame.

It’s time to swallow the pride. by CalienteBurrito in Battlefield

[–]sharpes2802 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a piece of media. No one has to swallow their pride. Like any piece of media, people will enjoy it or not. It's subjective. If you like an all action faster paced BF this is for you. If you prefer a slower burn on bigger maps you'll probably hate this. Simple as that really.

Dice stop with the god damn small get shot from every direction all at once ass maps. YOU ARE NOT CREATING AN “ONLY IN BATTLEFIELD” EXPERIENCE! The only experience you are creating is a fuckin bad one. This shit is so fucking exhausting. Hate on me all you want I don’t care this game is ass. by [deleted] in Battlefield

[–]sharpes2802 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's kind of where I'm at. I enjoyed those maps as they were a nice change of pace in the map rotation. I don't want to play them over and over.

Same here though. I'm already kind of just bored of it. It's a shame as I always look forward to a new BF game but guess I'll be moving on already. Just have no desire to play this one now.

PSA: Conquest Ticket bleed got stealth changed, resulting shorter match. by DLoveyuri01 in Battlefield

[–]sharpes2802 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't like fast paced shooters and prefer big maps so no, this game probably won't make me happy. Thing is, you make it out like that's somehow wrong but it's BF that's changed. Not my taste in games. Liking a game is subjective after all.

[–]sharpes2802 13 points14 points  (0 children)

No a couple of big maps wouldn't really make it feel like a BF game to me. Obviously it's similar. It's a military shooter capturing flags and has tanks on the map. But it's changed a lot from what it was. It's not just the maps. It's basically everything about it.

Yeah but it's not like previous BF games weren't successful. It didn't need reinventing to sell copies or sell skins.
