Dirt2 PC vs NFS Shift PC, which would last longer on replayability?

[Hell Hound]

thanks mate i tried that and its the same thing....

look i tried...

11 drivers + fresh install + XP32 + W764 + my 2 mobo DDR2 and DDR3, 2 different water coolers + 2 PSU + 2 chips only thing is that the game does not like my VGA....

WAIT


Place physxloader.dll and nvcuda.dll in the nfs shift folder I bet it goes away

Thanks Final8ty, but I don't want to install it again to be disappointed, I'll end up wasting more of my life looking for mods and fixes again!

Both are good games. If you're a serious racing game fan, you should own both. End of story.

A true racer doesn't play garbage games like dirt 2. (jk)

[Frag Maniac]

What's ironic there is that in some ways DiRT 2 is garbage compared to what it could have been, but still very fun to play. The ideal DiRT game would have been a good blend of D1 & D2, but they went overboard with the dumbed down damage, minimal tuning options, inept AI, use of Flashbacks, and scant car & track variety.

this game has crazy graphics

Dirt 2 sucks, its not really rally anymore. American pick-ups which are faster than optimized rally cars :S

[RAW-Raptor22]

Dirt 2 is awesome, it has kept me sucked in for probably 50 hours and I am still not halfway done with the single player races, its that good. It looks incredible and runs decent even on my Pentium D 820 / 7950GX2 PC with 2GB of RAM.

[Frag Maniac]

What I find odd is tons of people buy DiRT 2 then say, "What, this is mostly off road racing not rally"! People, get a clue and actually learn about the game you're buying before you plunk down your money. That being said, it would have been much better had they at least made DiRT 2 a mix of DiRT 1 with more cars, tracks and rally, but hey, you all had plenty opportunity to find out about it's content before purchase, so please, stop with the incessant whining already.

[Mickey Padge]

I got my copy of Dirt 2 free with my HD5870, so I can moan about it however I please!

Although I never understand peeps that complain about others expressing their disappointment with a game or similar? Everyone is entitled to their opinion, why moan if they share it?

The game is also titled Colin McRae: Dirt 2 in Europe, so when it holds his name (World famous Rally driver, RIP) and considering the previous four rally games that preceded it, it was not a stretch on behalf of any buyers to expect a rally game really, was it?

EDIT: (Dirt 2 sucks!)

[Frag Maniac]

I think I explained my sentiment perfectly well. It's not so much they complain, heck I get that the rally is practically disappearing and I DID say I thought it would have been better with more rally like DiRT 1 had. What I don't get is that people act surprised AFTER getting it that there's not much rally in it. This makes it rather clear many are not reading up on games they get. And I don't really care if it's one included with a video card or whatever. If you pay good money for a GPU, you at least want the game that comes with it to be to your liking right?

As for the whole Colin McRae name thing, give me a break already. Look, I play DiRT 2 a LOT, and on the official forum for the game we constantly get people waxing on about this same stuff. DiRT 1 was signed off BY Colin McRae, it doesn't just carry his name. DiRT 2 was signed off BY his wife to have his name kept on it. Colin himself near the end of his career DID participate in race events that weren't typical WRC racing, like the X Games for instance.

You're confusing freedom of choice/speech with buying sense, they're not the same. Yes, by all means get whatever game you like by whatever means and critique it as you see fit, but when someone goes on about a game like they're too helpless to do a couple minutes of reading about it before they get it and act all hurt about the shock they got, you're damn right I'm going to have something to say about it.

There's a difference between critiquing something you knew the content of before buying, and pissing and moaning as if the jar of peanut butter you bought at the grocery store was fraudulently advertised because you didn't notice it was the type with jelly swirled in. The very heart of gaming is suffering from poor quality product over the hype of preoders from the very type of people that can't for the life of them READ about what they buy instead of getting their games on impulse decisions.

I like off-road racing. I like rally more than x-games style... I wish you could do custom races so you could be running any vehicles on any track.

[Mickey Padge]

So we agree on pretty much everything, aside from a few points. I'm not confusing anything, I just don't think moaning about peeps moaning makes any sense! I suppose the irony is lost on you?

Also, just because you have seen these types of posts on another forum, doesn't mean you should take your annoyances out on the folks here expressing their views, that's not really right is it?....

I still don't think that expecting the 5th game in a long running and renown rally series to have some form of rally content is unusual, far from it. In fact the lack of rally content would have only come fully into the light after some weeks of play and completion, lot's of people won't hold off that long to buy a long awaited and hotly anticipated game.....

They would have heard their friends say how good it was (I thought it was good at first) and bought it, only to latter realise all the rally content was missing

Cheers!

I wish you could import all the Dirt 1 tracks into the Dirt 2 game, and custom racers would be sweet too, shame the game is so limited really

So let me get this straight, you act like my complaining about his complaining makes no sense, even though you are ridiculing my complaining about his complaining, which is no different, and at the same time completely ignoring that what he's complained about is his own fault for ignoring the previews & trailers of the game? That about sum it up?

Apparently you are very tolerant to nonsense complaints that are basically details of one's own ignorance vs legitimate beefs. That seems to pass right under your limited radar, so yeah, I'd say you're not only very confused, but a bit self righteous. You'd fit right in with the guys that whine on the CM forum. I hope I haven't given you any ideas there, because most of us over there don't want such senseless rants to be perpetuated.

Public tantrums are what hyperactive kids that are poorly raised engage in at shopping malls to try and get attention and attempt to make others feel bad. Imagine someone actually expecting better than that from people chatting on public forums? To those making the same complaint, return the damn game if you can or sell it on eBay, but blaming the devs for content you act oblivious to over your own ignorance is all too common and just plain silly.

just tossing this experience. I OC'd my CPU to 3.6 for ARMA2. After playing I switched to DIRT2.
Stuttered like a 12y/o caught by Mom with a :banana::banana::banana::banana: mag.

I defaulted my CPU...I don't know where I got the idea....but stuttering disappeared. Game plays smooth as a virgin butt.

just my 2 cents
