Yeah, I was trying to point out the visual aspect of that earlier; it's just a game. It has a lot of cars, yes, and some cool/unique stuff, but it's so repetitive. I try to throw things up by using the wheel now and again, but it's really just a game. TDU (yes, TDU1) is so much more involving for so much longer. I went a lot longer without modding than most of you, and entered the modding scene late (especially for someone who had the Digital Download version, released two weeks before the DVD release date), so my gameplay experience was vanilla TDU for well over a year. I didn't even finish the "drive every road" achievement until last month!
And then the community comes into play, with the cruises and the ideas for new games (whether solo or multiplayer) - not even counting the mods. You just don't get that with games like GT5 or NFS. Forza inspired some similar stuff, but nowhere near the level TDU did. This is all I want for TDU2; I want it to be able to grow, and to keep me discovering more.
I know that in the forum post-miniskirt simile, this was the equivalent of a winter parka, but I think we could all use a pro-TDU rant in times like these. :)
