Where are my dedicated servers at?

The best feature of Chivalry 1 is missing. You can no longer host your own servers. The feature was even better than sliced bread and now it is gone. Its literally a step back into the Middle Ages.
The removal of dedicated servers is such an archaic policy that even the most hardcore reactionaries are progressive in comparison.

Not great, not terrible.
Dont buy for the full price, because for 10 Bucks the lack of content is disturbing.
You get one new mechanic for a meme niche religion.
3 crutch missiontrees for the special needs countries (Mali, Songhai, Kongo)
A couple of better designed missiontrees for mostly boring countries.
If you are not a Great Lake Ultranationalist wait for a discount (or get a Key)

DLCs features no longer work and PDX doesnt fix them after almost three weeks.

Johan ♥♥♥♥♥♥ Leviathan up for a reason: Johan doesn’t believe the official report of the MS Estonia – disaster. His problem is that he cant prove his theory (he believes that the Danish Secret Service bombed the Estonia, to punish the Swedes for surströmming), because he has no knowledge of deep sea diving. That’s why he joined a radical Catalan Separatist group in Barcelona and covered this up with his own Tinto studio. Why Catalans you may ask? The radical Catalan Separatists are trying to recover the lost US Nukes of the 1966 Palomares crash, to force independence for Catalonia. To recover the nukes, they have to be excellent at deep sea diving. It’s a win-win situation for both parties: Johan learns something about diving and the radical Catalans can use Paradox Tinto for money laundering.
You may ask where is the connection between Johan´s quest for diving skills and the state of Leviathan? Johan took diving too literally and decided to crash Leviathan on purpose. He uses the product as a Submarine; The lower the steam rating is the closer he gets to the wreck of the MS Estonia. He actually thinks that it´s works this way. This is not a joke.
You don´t believe me? Well here is more evidence: The title of the DLC. Normally Paradox names DLCs for EU4 after important historic books. You may think: “Leviathan” is the title of Thomas Hobbes political philosophy book. If you think in that way, I have to inform you that Johan screwed you over like Paradox. You and Paradox thought of Hobbes, but Johan took Leviathan literally and had the mythical sea serpent in mind. Sea serpents have the ability to dive really deep, which is what Johan wants. Additionally the radical Catalans use “Leviathan” as their cover up name for their diving mission. This makes totally sense, because for the Catalans the Spaniards are sinners and the Leviathan is punishing the sinners.
This is a true story. Look into it 👀.

Hell turned real
Stephen Hawking runs better than this game

You can build a big black Phallus and call it a Great Wonder. This is even better than the giant flagpole measuring contest in Central Asian between local dicators.

It is good that Rally is not in the name, because it lacks Rally.

The five different rally locations are not enough for my taste; 2 of them feel the same (Australia & USA), driving on Spanish roads lets the fun vanish, Wales with its sheep fences is quite nice and the Swedish snow is an all time classic.
Where is Monte Carlo? Endless slippery U-Turns in the Sea Alps are fun.
Where is Finland? I want to destroy my bumpers with endless jumps.

Dirt 4 shifts the focus away from the classic Rally stages to Rally Cross and weird Murica Monster Truck racing.
Monster Truck Racing has 3 tracks and is as stupid as it sounds.
Rally Cross has potential, but it suffers so bad from the collision AI: When you are behind someone, you can just drive through him, because your 1,3 tons car will turn into 455 tons highspeed train with a wedge plow: You flip the other car high in air get the number one spot on the podium (if you don’t mess up).

Speaking of massive mess ups: Who manipulated the brakes? It’s a massive pain in the ass to deal with the the brakes in Rally Cross (even with ABS), especially in England: If you smash the brakes on concrete with a hammer in Lydden Hill your brakes react in a “weird way”: Instead of locking up (no ABS) it feels like you are sliding on an oil spill. The only valid explanation for this is that every inhabitant from the British Isles decided to quit deep frying (won’t happen they love their Fish & Chips too much), travel to Denton with Wootton and pour out their remaining and used frying oil on the track. This would explain why racing in Lydden Hill is such a slippery matter.

Additionally: Hill Climb is missing… Driving irresponsible in the Suicide AUDI Quatro above the tree line was so much fun…

You can buy the game if you somehow like Monster Trucks. The rest should stick to Dirt Rally.
