I feel like I’m driving in an ice level and the game keeps telling my car is gonna explode. 😭

    I would play on PC with keyboard and mouse EXCEPT when driving. Then I would pick up my DS4 controller because the joysticks work better for variable input with steering.

      Did the same thing with my Xbox controller.

    It depends on the vehicle, and the surface.

    Get a Rayfield for the best handling on a supercar, in my opinion. Or the Thornton brand, especially for off road.

    Learning to drive with gentle corrections helps too.

    After a few hundred hours playing the game, I’m excellent at the driving, weaving between traffic and loosing people on the bends. Great fun.

    PS. Don’t hold down the accelerator all the time, use your brakes. it’s not NASCAR.

      I pretty much just started, so it’s just the starter vehicle for now. But it’s good to know that it gets better with practice.

        Makes the cost of upgrading the car worthwhile too, they’re genuinely better!

        Experiment with a range of them, they do vary so much

    That’s the neat part, you don’t.

    Jokes aside, the game is a lot more entertaining if you run to places with the charged jump, sandevistan, and mantis blades

      I’ve really just been running around as much as I can. Glad to know that a viable path 😂

        Honestly, exploring the city on foot is pretty fun. I did a lot of my early game traveling on foot, just soaking everything in. You see a lot of neat details you would otherwise miss by driving.

          As you explore more of the map, there are fast travel waypoints that make travel easy.

          Some cars handle better than others, and eventually you get somewhat accustomed to it. Motorcycles have the best handling in the game though, and I prefer to use them over cars.

          Enjoy the game. It’s got it’s flaws but imho it’s great.

      I mean I would go with gorilla arms but your point definitely stands.

      I just happen to enjoy punching people into a red mist. Lol
