The Crew Motorfest - General Discussion

[strela]

I wondered where you were - you haven't posted on The Crew threads for ages.

I know... But I really like this game and I thought it would last just a couple of weeks. It turned out I needed couple of months. 😅

Sorry for the whining but I got a huge burn out. Almost deleted the game 🤣

The thing that burns me out about Motorfest is the constant addition of new stuff. I had the same problem with the Crew 2 when you had to grind 4m credits for each Motorpass. I enjoy the Crew 2 a lot more now, because there's nothing new being added, but the rotating summits keep it feeling alive. I don't like a game that goes too far in the other direction, like AC EVO, where I like that there's nothing to keep up with, but at the same time the game doesn't feel alive, and there's nothing to do. I like games in the middle, like BTD6, Rocket League, CS2, Crew 2, where there isn't anything you have to "keep up" with, but there's always stuff going on that you can do if you want to. I don't mind games like Motorfest or the FH games in the winter, but once there's gardening to do, I don't need a game giving me extra stuff to keep up with.

I find GAAS put me off. I don't mind new stuff being added periodically, but I don't like having something to do each week/month else you miss out. I really miss decent single player games that just gave you a full game and you maybe got a DLC add on at some point in the future and progress was in no way tied to real world time.

I'm tempted by Motorfest, it's on sale at the moment as well. But with FH6 around the corner, I'm not sure if I will buy that instead. I may end up buying neither, since I don't spend nearly as much time gaming these days. I need a day off life to squeeze in a couple of hours haha.

I agree totally.

Although at least with TCM it helps to remember you can skip stuff and catch up later. Particularly the Main Stage catch up which is easy with the Legacy events.

The Summit stuff is a lot more of a pain - in my case I'm not good enough to get platinum anyway so I'm always going to need to go via the Prestige Tickets route.
Also, presumably TCM will be rerunning Summits in a few years like TC2, and Platinum rewards will be easier as players start to move on to the next Crew game by then.

So, it's at least possible to take a "healthy" break from the game and come back refreshed later.

With modern games it's almost impossible to have "complete" sets of cars/liveries etc in any game anyway. Although it doesn't stop the urge to try anyway...

Talking of "new stuff" there's a new Elite Bundle next week - no spoilers, but if you do want to know what the 2 new cars are, look at next week's Summit 😉

PS AC Evo is just a sandbox currently. Something which does not appeal to me AT ALL, hence I've not even booted it up in 3 months.
