SRL? More like SOL. Thoughts?
So SRL is here. Exciting at first, but when you jump in, your plagued with so many glitch races. Its not really skill to come in the top 3. At least in my opinion. You can be in first the whole race but if you make even the slightest accidental tilt to that analog stick youll crash and end up in 6th. Even if you were 10 or 20 seconds ahead of 2nd.
Sure there are riders out there that are winning and not complaining because everything is going well for them luck wise. Those are the same guys that got gali 5 times in year one. Of course ill get some comments like "why do you play it then?" Well excuse me for trying to give some feedback. There are too many fixes that need to happen, but ill pick a few.
To start, the steering is all over the place, either its way to sensitive or you have to turn your analog as far and hard as you can to turn. Another prob is the perks of the gear you earn dont make any difference really. Players that join with no racing gear are not missing out on anything that isnt purely aesthetic.
Another issue that ill adress again, is how long it takes to reset after a crash. Its very unforgiving. Sometimes it glitches and crashes you. I lost count how many times my sparrow began to spin out of control for no reason other than barely tapping a wall. Other times youll slam into the wall by accident and nothing happens but a slight ricochet. There have also been instances where I hit the ground and my sparrow exploded on impact.
One last issue ill bring up for now, is the pointless gates. Sure it gives you a boost, but oh you missed that last one? Get ready to go back 2 or 3 places. Or, Awesome you hit 68 gates!, But the first place guy only hit 48... Yeah I know but its fine you came in 6th and got that sparrow everyone has been buying with silver. What?!

Find a driving line that suits your style and stick to it, own it, and win. I like to stay as low and straight as possible and I combine the side thrusts with some gates to boost even faster. Get a stunt sparrow to keep your fuel full.

3 RepliesThere is armor that speeds up cooldown when you crash, so that fixes that problem. As far as the steering, it drives like your sparrow always drives. As long as you hit the gates pointed in the direction that you want to go you will be fast. Also when I win I usually have the least amount of gates hit out of everybody. You have to learn the tracks and know which ones really slow you down even though you are boosting. I mean why boost into a wall when you can just drive over the bridge. I also do tricks to keep my fuel built up for my side thrusters. That to me is the key to being fast is to be able to use your side thruster at the right moments. The guys winning a lot are frankly just better drives. I have almost finished my book on my other account. I need 5 more wins on Venus. But I am usually good at racing games. I feel your pain on the physics. I have been bumped into and went flying through the air more than once. But usually hitting walls and not landing right are driver error. You can pitch your sparrow and use your thrusters to avoid a lot of these problems.
