The Race Mission

[B]

The amount of copium I've seen on this mission is outstanding. The driving in this game is outright horrible. And now you're telling me I have to win a RACE?! Nah I'm good. The story might be good, but not worth the headache tbh. I'll update if I ever beat it (not likely anytime soon).

Did i miss something? This race was easy.

it's a mechanical or conceptual issue for most people.
it's not even the hard race in the game.
that distinction would go to free ride classic mode "the mule".
not to say it's the hardest free ride racing mission,
it's just the one that's the hardest while being purely racing.

Classic mode, first attempt - won. Don't know why ppl are complaining. Just learn how to drive xD

IMO driving good, mission isn't.


I turned the difficulty down on my first playthrough because the AI cheats.

Unlike the original game, the AI has rubberbanding which means if you get too far even on Easy, the AI will cheat and magically become faster to overtake you.

This is why I find people saying "git gud" about this race to be truly braindead, I literally stomped the race on Easy after failing on Classic a bunch and still lost because the AI cheated and got more speed right before the finish line so I lost.

It's a dreadful mission and the low point in the main story. (some of the Free Ride missions also feel like they were not designed well at all.)

It's actually not that hard, the car will slip like it is ice but it's manageable. I got it on the 1st go. You should try the race in the original version.

It's easier in the original version due to how the AI cheats less.

try letting go of the directional buttons and mash the ram button on the straightaways.
it recharges about every half-second. see if the ai can catch you when you do that.

I don't know what you guys are talking about, the race is easy as could be, even on classic mode. sounds like a skill issue

[dn.nave]

quite easy win even on classic mode. just be aggressive at the very beginning.

[Hopper-King]

it's a little... no, it's fine. i just wish people struggling would ask for tips,
instead of us only hearing from them after they've already rage-uninstalled.
cuz after their initial post, they pretty much **** off forever.

I remember it being harder for me, but then when I played it first I was a kid.

Started at Classic difficulty, I just uninstalled it after my 15 try or something. Gamepass btw.
Kinda funny coming from a person who loves some difficult games as per see at my profile.

I raced 1st time with x-box controller on pc and won already in the very 1st race .
Maybe it,s becuase i,m used to race simulators.
Cars were close behind , but i found that braking on time for corners made a big difference.

The race mission is a real classic they had to include it but in the normal mafia it was way harder and ya had 5 laps instead of 3 this remake is pretty faithful to the original mafia ya suppose to feel like ya accomplished something and feel proud of ya self when ya win but i get why people hate it people used to hate the original one

[ThisGuyOverHere]

Really?

[Hopper-King]

...hmm... all the talk about "rubberbanding" reminds me of how the ai would always pile up,
whenever i broke hard before a turn, but... now i'm wondering if that only happens because the cars are snapping forward.... hmm...
