The Steelbook is maximum nostalgia and I really wish we got it in the US.

It feels good, really good. While DR1 often felt like it was hard for the sake of being hard DR2.0 feels really well grounded in the physics. The way the momentum builds and interacts with the mass of the car to put you in the ditch feels amazing. You can really feel how the mass of the car and the weight transfer is working. I can’t speak to the accuracy of how the car reacts to your inputs as I am playing on an Xbox One controller which obscures what I want to be doing vs what the controller thinks I want to be doing and the games response. I need to get a feel for it on my wheel before I can really get a feel for the accuracy of the driving dynamics. It’s really good and you should play it.

I loved loved loved the first Dirt Rally, so I preordered my 2.0 copy today. Very excited to finally have my Fanatec wheel officially supported!

I’m not home for the weekend. I'll think this through. I do want a larger intercooler, bigger injectors and a dyno tune for the Mini. And a second car. Need to save the monies!

Having just spent all my fun money on the new PC build, I’m not going to pre- order this, but it certainly is on the wish list.

A new PC build sounds like the perfect justification for buying DR2.0 to me.

I like the way you think. Sounds like a perfect use of some proceeds from selling old parts. I’ll have to list some stuff on e bay this weekend.

I’ve been watching a couple streams of this, looks good and I want to play it but can’t justify that cost right now, especially due to the season packs that are upcoming
