Breachlan GameNight : Monday 10th - DiRT 2

[gemini]

Given that a large number of us have now bought DiRT2 due to its stupidly low price last weekend, I propose we have an official gamenight of it.

Mumble and what not will be required. As will someone with a decent net connection offering up to be the host.

Who's in ?

 

[Bloodnok]

In

 

[Castiana]

Love to, but dont own the game. /cry

 

[Skull]

Possibly in, depends how well I'm doing at the game over the weekend. XD

On a bonus, it seems I don't need to be signed into the steam account that it's on to play it, just into live.

Possibly in but i'll have to play through it for the 3rd time after the save file got corrupted

Won't the host be in control of what cars everyone has ?

 

[Negator]

No idea... hadn't read up on how the host affected what cars are available. I'll definately be in then if i don't have to go back and spend 4-5 hours playing through the game first beforehand. Like all racing games having all the cars to choose from does make a fair bit of difference.

 

[Bloodnok]

Won't the host be in control of what cars everyone has ?

Yes but there are cars the player can unlock (Ford Escort Mk II, 1995 Subaru Impreza WRX being some of them)

 

[Negator]

is this still on for tonight then?

 

[Bloodnok]

should be, max of 8 players per lobby is the only downside to this game so first come first served

 

[Deep Blue]

Thanks to everyone that showed up, we had a good time and there were quite a few megalulz

The game is way more fun when you play DiRTY

 

[Skull]

sorry about forgetting this guys, too much on my mind last night, and was busy most of the night anyway

 

[Negator]

The highlight for me was coming flying around a corner to find a 350z (dex) barrelrolling all over the road and having to try and dodge it.

Going to wipe all traces of the game and install again after all the autosave corruption as not having the choice of car i want is a bit annoying.

 

[Deep Blue]

Glad I could provide some amusement!

 

[ZeroG]

I'm useless at driving games. I always end up facing the wrong way ramming other cars Maybe that's why I like Flatout 2 so much.

 

[Negator]

I'm not too bad at them, really depends on having enough time to get a feel for the handling and the tracks to allow for use of manual gears.

 

[Deep Blue]

Flat out is great, although last night was proof that DiRT 2 has plenty of destruction derby potential!

 

[Negator]

The damage is a bit odd in the way you can slam right into another car with little to no damage but clip a wall and a wheel falls off. I just stayed out of the action and tried to go quickly in my slow cars.. apart from the one time i was ordered to take someone out

 

[ZeroG]

I can be hired to take out anyone specific
