"Explore the entire United States" - biggest lie ever

[Dalv]

So the devs are telling me they recreated all roads from those 9,629,091 km2 USA has in realistic scale?
Nice joke.

[UnrealDelusion]

It's Ubisoft did you expect them to be honest?

[DJ_Trollin]

Lmao, you guys are hilarious. The game was never meant to create a 1:1 ratio of the US. xD But I guess people like you need to find things to complain about, if that's what makes you happy in life, so be it. xD Think about it though. If the developers did create the entire US, think how big the game would be, on a gigabyte scale. Be probably well over 2+ TB. xD Gotta admit, you guys crack me up lmao.

To be fair, some of us have never been to America. They could make the roads up completely and we'd never know the difference.

Although it would be nice to get an actual recreation. £50 would be a hell of a lot cheaper than a holiday.

[DJ_Trollin]

Well, you do get to visit say NY city and LA and all those massive landmark type spots, also Miami. But it won't be to scale of course. Not even Google would put that much time and money into a racing sim. And yea, it would be a lot cheaper, but instead of the "game" being 60 bucks, it'll be upwards to probably say a few thousand, or even more and probably only available to people who own businesses like massive coorporations. But enjoy the game as it is. And all this stuff about Ubisoft lol. Ubisoft, don't listen to them. Listen to the developers of the game, they make it how they see fit, not Ubisoft. Julian even said it himself, it gives you a feel of America a bit with all the different environments in one gigantic map, but it is not a 1:1 scale ratio. Hell, a trip from Miami to Seattle (Corner to the farthest corner city wise) is just about a 45 minute trip, depending ont he car and if you crash.

Did you actually expect the game area to be in 1:1 scale of the whole USA? Are you freaking serious?

I was able to get in the beta and its not the whole United states. Its pretty much all the main cities but the map would probably take you 5 hours total to get every where, but its beta. Im sure more addons will be in it. But 1 thing i found unique was each city felt like i was in the city. Miami looked like the real place, new york, colorodo, texas. IM PUMPED FOR THIS GAME!

[DJ_Trollin]

Either he is trolling or stupid. xD

[DJ_Trollin]

Aaron has the idea, I got into the beta as well. Amazing game but needs a slight bit of work with some things and it'll be golden. Got myself the gold pack and I've been waiting for this game for 2 years now

That would probably take me a couple of hours then. I crash ..... a lot.

It's one of those games I really shouldn't buy, i'm terrible at driving games, but I want it.

Some people wake up every day and immediately start looking for things to whine and cry about like petulant little children. They'll whine and cry about silly, unimportant, trivial matters as a result of their uncontrollable desires to whine and cry. This thread is proof of that fact. Like the old saying goes: "misery loves company".

Video games are made for entertainment and a fun way to pass the time. You guys should try approaching a game with the intent of having fun instead of approaching it with the intent of looking for things to whine and cry about.

But geez...imagine if it WAS 1:1 scale! It would take you a LITERAL 37 hours (Google maps said it) to get from where I live all the way to LA...

...Race your BUTT off to a new level. Your couch will hate you for it PLUS you'll lose your job. :P

[TheInsider (Don)]

Let me ask you? Would you make a 1:1 scale of America? And try to run it on any device? I don't think you can ;)

[Gary Oldguy]

Yeah it's supposed to take 90 minutes to drive from coast to coast, but I guess a guy did it in 39 minutes while going 150 mph. The in game GPS reports the distance from LA to NYC to be ~71 miles.

It's a considerable distance, but nowhere near close to "the entire US". I wish the coast-coast drive time was at least 3 hours personally. But I also wish it was a non-racing game where I could just drive to see scenery when I'm bored or wanting to kill time. Again, personally, if I wanted a racing game, there are already MANY, MANY options better than this one already out. I guess I'm waiting until a more realistic game comes out, because I don't think The Crew is that game.

[Dalv]

of course 1:1 is not possible, my point was developers advertising it like that. big pile of crap in descriptions every darn time

[Carch]

i just read the advertisment and it clearly says : "The entire United States is your driving playground – all roads and everything in between."

so OP is right it promises the entire united states
