DR is on sale (60% off) until Tuesday.

I took advantage of the 60% off sale (which is still in effect)

Admittedly, I'm brand new to the world of rally racing. I've always been aware it exists, but that's pretty well where my knowledge ends. In recent days I've spent a bit of time doing some homework on the disciplines...rally vs rallycross (both are included in DR), the history of various cars, championships and drivers. Car selection is great and includes all the iconic rally racing machines throughout the history of the sport: 60's, 70's, the insanity of Group B, all the way to the top World Rally Championships cars of today.

I've been struggling quite a bit (and I suspect this will remain the case for quite some time), but I'm having an absolute blast learning to listen to the pace notes from my co-driver and trying to visualise what's ahead of me on these impossibly tight roads.

In short--I'm hooked!

If you're looking for a new and exciting sim-racing challenge, do yourself a favour and buy this!

Has anyone purchased Dirt 4 yet? I'd love to hear some thoughts on it.

I'm just after picking up a copy of it . I'm going to put about an hour or so into it later . I'll let you know my initial thoughts during the practice ?

I decided to live dangerously and purchased Dirt 4 yesterday. I've only played it for a few hours thus far, but at this point I'm giving it a solid one thumb up...I'm still undecided what to do with my other thumb though.

I find the menu presentation to be far too extreme for my taste. I much preferred the plain jane menu take it or leave it menu of Dirt Rally; but I digress...

They've made some curious changes as far as difficulty goes. For example, water splashes in DR nearly made you panic to turn on your wipers in time, otherwise you'd be blind. In D4 it's almost not worth the bother as the windshield is dry in around 1 second, and the splash is minimal. On the flipside, driving at night (especially in the rain) is even more terrifying than DR. That's a good thing.

I drove the buggy around for a bit and enjoyed it more than I thought I would. I'm a little worried about the lack of circuits though...which was the same issue in DR.

Multiplayer features seem to be greatly improved over DR. I'm excited for the leagues update and would be very interested in adding this game to our official lineup if enough people are interested. If not, I'll enter rally championships etc in DSRL and/or AOR.

It looks like i'll have to give this game a go as well. Is it worth the full price or should I wait for a sale?

Not yet.

The buggys, stadium trucks and crosskarts are fun, and I still haven't tried rallycross...but the rally portion just makes me want to play Dirt Rally. That's probably not a good sign. lol

Add me to the group of people who also got the game.

Dirt Rally is currently on sale for 75% off. Still a very worthwhile purchase.

Are we still thinking of running a Rally league at some point on either DiRT 4 or Rally? I’d be happy to help organise it
