![]() They also seem to get random speed boosts so that they can stay on you at all times. That being said as well, when the AI is on it, it's on it, which occasionally leads to some moments of frustration where the AI seems to just be robotic, and doesn't seem to have any problems driving their cars, even if their driving a vehicle that is known for being very slidey. Other times I'm able to get the lead by the first lap or first few corners, and it's smooth-sailing from there. Some races the AI puts up a fight and stays on my tail the entirety of a race, and is always looking for an opportunity to overtake. Even on Very Hard difficulty, the AI can't seem to make up it's mind on how easy a time it wants to give me. ![]() AI Consistency: The AI's overall speed is, shall we say, inconsistent.It is a bit jarring to hear Troy Baker and Nolan North in a racing game, in both a good and bad way, but it feels like both of them are super relaxed time talking (even through Bruno Durand could probably have his own page on TV Tropes), which I do enjoy. I'm not gonna say that it's great, but it feels like all parties involved aren't taking it too seriously and are just having a good time with it all. While most of the lines spoken are corny as hell, and some of the "celebrity" guests on the Donut Podcast feel very phoned-in (heh), I get the impression that Codies basically gave everyone a basic idea of what they wanted to say, but otherwise let them have at it. Drifting the BMW M1 on its skinny dirt tires through a long, shallow corner on the power is so much fun. On the flipside, I feel like you still get complete control and the game allows you to pull some pretty insane moves without completly destroying you. Physics: Even though DiRT 5 is very much an arcade racer with numbed-down physics compared to DR 2.0, I still personally find it to be an enjoyable experience for the most part.* I find it has this odd but good setup where if you drive a car poorly, instead of loosing the car, you just lose a lot of speed, but can still drive.The only thing I could really ask for in regards to the music is for there to be some kind of UI element in both the menu & pause menu that shows what song is being played, a la older NFS games with EA trax. I feel like all the music so far fits the general atmosphere of the game, and I also really dig the 3D music element. Even Ace Combat, a series that I adore for both its music and gameplay, doesn't have that personal accolade. ![]() While I'm admittedly not familiar with most of the artists and songs in the game, I've yet to hear a song that I've just gotten completely sick of.
