I'm debating it - it's going to depend on how long I play Anthem for.
I really liked The Division, and I think #2 can improve upon it immensely.

Shame it's not on Steam though.

I'll likely get it, but not until it's on sale. I liked the 1st one but not enough to pay $80

Yes!

PS Vita production and shipments ending this week in Japan. Amazon.co.jp doesn't seem to have any more directly (just third parties).

Loved the first one. Proud to say I've slipped a narrator quote into a meeting at work once. No one clued in but was happy to see a couple nods in agreement.

And Bowser finally succeeds in taking over.

Dirt Rally 2.0 being released next week. Going to be awesome!
(I have a wheel, will be playing PC. Do yourself a favour and get a cheap g25 or g27 wheel)

Promises to be a very difficult game..

My homemade sim racing rig should be done by then. Can't wait

Nice one! One thing I find that helps aside from an h-shifter and clutch is a 20 dollar joystick. Works great as an analog handbrake.. Luckily dirt rally supports multiple inputs. Am hoping my current setup will work as it did in the original

[btimbit]

Absolutely. For dirt rally I'm thinking of getting a sequential shifter instead of the h shifter, and an ebrake as well

[calumniate]

It's funny the old g25s and g27's allow you to switch sequential and h on the fly. But your idea should work for sure

[btimbit]

Really? I didn't know that. I have a G29, the wheel is awesome and the pedals aren't bad once inverted them and built a custom box. But the shifter isn't the best

[calumniate]

love h-pattern because I like the older cars with clutch (group a, b, historic). One option would be to get the h-shifter but use the paddles when using sequential.

Post photos when it’s all done.

It is mind blowing how expensive even basic racing seats and setups are.

I’d also like to see photos.

[Cecil Terwilliger]

Seriously, look at this thing. It’s $300. That’s not including a wheel/pedals. There has to be $275 in profit for every chair sold. That thing is a lawn chair with 99 cents worth of cheap metal tubing attached. And it was the cheapest one I could find from a quick google search.

[calumniate]

Wow that is a lawn chair! Maybe I'll post my setup if I have time. It's on the cheap but works well

That's what I've done in the past but I really want to be able to switch back and forth for that modern rally feel when I want it.

Will do! It won't be anything special, I'm just making it out of wood and it's my first one, I'll be happy if it doesn't have any wobble. Basically just going to be a frame with a seat from pick n' pull bolted to it

I was looking at this one for a while but after talking to some people apparently it's not very stable

The things are insanely expensive, you can't get a good one for less than $1000 unless you're willing to put up with awkward seating position and a lot of wobble. That's why I decided to take a crack at doing my own, shouldn't be more than $150.

If all goes well I'll modify it to easily convert back and forth between racing games and flying games w/ a HOTAS

I want to love Dirt as it's totally up my alley but it just goes a little too far into difficulty for me. Plus I have it in VR and it's the only game that consistently and immediately makes me want to hurl.
