RIDE 5

Ok, so this game IS really good. The physics and graphics are great. That's not all, tho: 1. This is the first entry to remove the RED notification from time trials and make this, imo, the most fun mode, and the most fun entry in the series up to this point; I can easily spend an hour lapping one track. 2. While the AI opponents are better than the last games, they will still ram the back of you regardless of difficulty chosen: 40-120% they do this in all aggro settings. You can turn off collisions, but then everyone is a ghost and it's weird. 3. All career base races are set at 3 laps and YOU CANNOT CHANGE IT; Makes the ramming even more aggravating. *this is why I think the time trial is still the funnest. 4. The "Easy Anti-cheat" from Epic is intrusive and mandatory; If you want to play offline it doesn't care: it loads up before game start EVERY TIME. It also installs onto your computer as a separate program...like a launcher. 5. The intro screens are very long and NOT skippable...both of these aforementioned items make start up of the game way longer than needed: and for no reason imo. lol. 6. Every camera has an incorrect FOV, EXCEPT FOR THE 'FAR' 3RD PERSON CAM(the second one.) It is playable in all of the views, but having the FOV wrong for so many seems overlooked...and you can't change them. It makes judging how far away you are from corners(ESPECIALLY hairpins,) and opponents really convoluted and unintuitive: Overshooting and misjudging is almost guaranteed. 7. There are MANY tracks, and 'time and weather' is adjustable(only in time trial or creating single races/championships.) 8. There are MANY bikes. *Ride 3 had the most bikes and tracks. It's unfortunate they didn't add all of that content to this game. 9. IMO, the physics are the most true to life compared to the other games. 10. The first person camera position changes based on what riding style you select. 11. If you play any race, time trial, or anything and hit "RESTART," you will NOT gain EXP nor credits. I did one time trial for about an hour with 16 laps and got 50k with the credits multiplier(came with season pass.) This(imo) is better for making money than races, as I restart so often due to being rammed. 12. Many modes have a 'rolling start' before you can control the bike: they can often be very long and when they do release control to you, it is at very high speed with braking required extremely soon...makes for a lot of falling. 13. SO many pointless videos that are unskippable, as well as an 'intro' video for just about every track that are skippable, but still there. They really made it take way too long to just let you put your hands on the bikes. Even with many negatives here, I would still recommend this game tho. The graphics are great, the physics are really good, and there is a lot of content.
