Not really. But there was a barricade which I bypassed. And the checkpoint was just in the next lane, albeit a different off-road path. Anyway, does it matter which route I take as long as I start from point A and finish at point B? And this is not a rally race where things like cutting corners will attract penalty. Even if it was, a 5sec penalty was more logical rather than telling you are 2nd. You call it feature, I call it dumb.
Just for the fun of it, this was the final straw.
this type of checkpoint **** can be found on some other games like GTA SA, Mad Riders .....
Every game must have some common sense at least.
Commonsense meaning senseless driving only to reach the finish line?
at-least in a arcade racer like this .....
One thing I couldn't understand why game developers are so hell bent on taking control away from the gamer. Max Payne 3 & Sleeping Dogs are also prime example of this.
just play dishonored then
Common sense is definitely not:-
1) Showing your track green when it should be red.
2) Showing your position as 2nd when you are ahead of your rival on the same lap
3) Closing your options and calling it open world.
the first two can be fixed with an update patch if they ever going to release one .......
