@@ManLikeEddy Yeah, you might wanna have to use a cracked version. Luckily, EA themselves have the patch for the DLC, so you can just use a standard version.
Shift and shift 2 runied me for how racing games NEED to feel in the cockpit on console. Forza and especially Gran turismo just feel so sterile in comparison. Most of the same team that made these games made project cars, but even pcars and its sequels paled in comparison to just how visceral and exciting shift 1 and 2 were.

For real tho, why can't anyone replicate this Godlike helmet cam quality ? It feels and looks so realistic and it's stupidly immersive, the sense of power speed and fear are increased to a whole new level and it's completely spoiled me and made me almost dislike any cockpit view in recent games that isn't even close to this, every time I see videos of people playing Forza or GT the cockpit is so boring and unexciting, it feels like you are just walking with how it looks so perfect and sterile, no movement or fluidity or depth of field just feels like I am looking at a wall.

Это называется навыки, которые нужно оттачивать, хотя они у него не самые лучшие, если он играет с помощниками и наверняка не с максимальными настройками сложности, а также упрощённой настройкой машины, о чём говорит странное поведение её на прямых, тем не менее он всё равно водит явно лучше, чем большинство других игроков в эту игру, потому что может проехать такую трассу на настолько мощном заднем приводе. В играх есть такая штука, как "геймплей" (не во всех, в донатных помойках его нет), если следовать ему, то всё будет получаться, более того появится атмосфера, но большинство его просто не видит, большинство - казуальные игроки.
