This was my day of trying to play CCD. When upgrading, I had to delete my previous game, thus losing all progress on my career. "No problem," I though, since I didn't mind replaying it, anyway. I'm at the fuel consumption and fragile cargo missions, and I was simply frustrated into quitting the game.
I start the fragile mission, and I get up to speed on the motorway. The motorway is completely erratic ever since 1.3, with cars deciding to brake from 110km/h to 60, to avoid colliding with a speck of dust, I assume, because I cannot see anything for miles in front of this car. If a car has to brake because of something, that's one thing, but it's simply not enjoyable at all going along the highway/motorway any more, since you cannot get a flow of the road. It's just erratic shit, if you'll pardon my french.
But I continue on. I get past the motorway section, and I pull of at the correct exit, where a car is doing one of its "braking for no reason", and ruins my mission. Oh, and I had to weave through the traffic like a moron, because going 90-110 is just not an option on the motorway anymore. After dealing with ridiculous stuff like cars deciding to throw themselves into my lane when they're going 60 on the motor way, or more of the ridiculous braking stuff, I decide to move onto the fuel mission. I start on a tiny road going into the main road. I start driving, and get an infraction for not using my blinkers. Already annoyed, I find that unreasonable, but restart the mission.
I get past the first traffic light, and I'm thinking it's finally smooth sailing. Then a car that's along side me decides to just turn into my lane. Into the side of my car. I restart. I get an infraction for not blinking as I'm entering the motorway. Blinking to drive the only way you can drive? Didn't you guys also say you'd fixed the blinking problem at the top of the hill? I still have to do it. Well, I can still get only 5 penalty points if I do it perfectly from here in, so I continue driving despite the indicator issue. Then a truck decides to go into my lane right in front of me and brake down to 40 km/h, because, you know, it's the middle of the motorway, no junctions or any cars in front of him. Then my screen saver turns on, because the game has stopped registering as a full-screen rendering device.
I really used to like CCD, but with these changes to the AI, it's just not fun. It's turned unfair, inconsistent and just stupid. I am trying to stick with you guys through thick and thin, but this is just not OK. I think this is an issue that needs to be rectified in a post-haste manner. I don't think this is right.
