It's very immersive but the dashboard takes too much real state to be useful and there are no rear view mirrors which I find absolutely ridiculous for a driving/racing game. > Ah I wasn't aware, I was using the Xbox controller and only saw the way to look left/right/back. I'm using the hood view mostly and that helps considerably as the camera don't pan behind you so you can't tell quite what direction you're going. I also was looking up things and found suggestions to change the controller settings from most assist to hardcore. I've been playing around with the settings and found that and adjusting some of the silders helps too. I was still getting really bad lag this last weekend, so that's when I picked up another racing game - Gas Guzzlers eXtreme (postesd separately on that) that seems to work so much better, but doesn't have the open world, storry, missions etc. I had some fun tooling around my home city Monday in The Crew, it was tiny though, and it was funny going from Sacramento to Tahoe in about 5 minutes which would take a couple hours in the real world. :) I went back to The Crew Monday as I figured the lag would be better and was able to finish a mission I found impossible on the weekend (the one that you have to hit boxes with a raid car they give you). I'm still getting some noticeable lag even on Monday, but it's far better than it was on the weekend and it doesn't seem to be impacting my driving much. - Justisaur P.S. I'm Justisaur916 on Uplay if anyone wants to add me for this game.
