I haven't played any Story Mode or Time Attack except for the fittest game, just basically playing online cos I have a chance to free free games - and free games is good hehe. Might be one of those things that changes once I get to Full Spec. I see more people using traditional BC, but when I use in the game I tend to be slower. Technique wise, I'm basically using BCCCC variants for the moment. For example, the game might allow you to buy five parts when you reach Level 5 then the next set only unlocks when you reach Lv 8 or so. Spec parts are cheap compared to before but you are only allowed to access the menus once you reach a certain level. Tuning works differently than before since your specs is gated by your level. I've beaten people that are higher spec than me and the opposite have already happened. Spec tuning also plays less of a role than before in terms of beating opponents. I personally think the lower spec gameplay is much funner than the D7/8 equivalents since those games only become more fun nearer to their Full Spec physics. Totally better than Wangan's, not that it's saying much. The advantage of not playing on a ten year old screen I guess. The new screen also makes the game looks really crisp even though they're using the exact same assets. Good that it works though I guess my Japanese profile won't be usable on the upcoming EXP version.Īlso the screen is HUGE! I've seen the pictures and the size comparisons but it's one of those things that only hits you when it's physically in front of you. I'm currently using my Malaysian Banana Passport card to play the game. Currently up to Spec 4 or so, with no D-Coin usage (don't think I could have afforded it anyways). I've mostly been playing online battles of the two hours or so I've played it. I'll be honest despite the massively inferior wheel and the poorer course selections, the game itself is pretty fun gameplay wise. Currently in Japan, and have tried out D0.
