It finally unlocked on Steam an hour or two ago, so a bit early to form impressions yet, but I did notice that the Contracts so far seemed to be low XP. I also question the design of at least one of them. In Demolition Day there's a Contract to beat another rider while using the Donkey, limit 4 faults. I estimate you need a time of about 55 seconds with 0 faults to beat the NPC. The fastest time in the world is just over 37 seconds. If you could afford 4 faults and still win the Contract you'd be by far the fastest in the world, and that with the Donkey. It seems a strange condition to add to the Contract.
That map and UI is a disaster too. The NA map is a farce with all tracks displayed, while other continents are fully or mostly empty. The recent attempt to focus with use of transparency doesn't always work. So you have to filter by league to make it usable, but they don't allow you to tap left from the first league to reach the DLC leagues. You have to tap right 10+ times. That's 12+ button presses just to see the league you want.
One weird thing is with the DLC coming out now, I'm getting a lot of easter crates instead of regular game crates from DLC contracts. Kind of feeling like playing the DLC now is wasting levels on those junky Easter crates (that hideous bunny suit is never getting used) instead of normal items. Not sure how I feel about that.
As for the DLC itself, I wasn't expecting much, so eh, more tracks is more tracks. They should not have held out on us for the new bikes, because those add (or rather, should add) way more to the game than a few more tracks and the earlier they are integrated the more likely they get used well in TC.
There are route 66 Achievements in Uplay, and I have the PC version.Originally Posted by Scruffy McGuffy Go to original post
Hmmm, I'm not seeing that. As I look on Uplay and click on the game then Achievements, all I see are the base game ones, and I don't see anywhere in the game to view them. I have it on Steam btw. I do see there are a few more Club challenges which offer more Uplay points.Originally Posted by TeriXeri Go to original post
