Early Experimental Preview of Career Concept

The tutorial IS AMAZING - it would be nice if you explained what happened if you recover or repaired during a mission - I'm still not sure if it costs money or if it's just a penalty?

 

It's extremely well made, easy to understand for beginners but quick enough to not make it want to be skipped

 

In the tutorial, at the instructions "Stop next to the fuel pump", I am unable to trigger the next objective,
stopped the engine and everything....

 

what? what do i need to complete
i cannot tow my car to the garage because i havent completed.. something?

 

The career is heading in a great direction, especially now that you have to earn your cars. I just wish that there was more of a reason to need to upgrade them/buy faster/bigger vehicles. I've played a few hours now and have yet to get to a mission that requires the use of my own vehicle. Additionally, i would like the ability to toggle police in the traffic rotation to add a little more excitement to my drives in between objectives, even more so now that repairs must be paid for. They could also impound the vehicle making you pay the fines. As far as bugs go I've yet to encounter anything major other than that I cannot access the computer without saving/reloading in between missions. My biggest complaint so far is the fact im stuck on west coast and cant enjoy it on other maps, im not a huge fan of the big cities. I'd rather a small town like east coast or utah that has some terrain variety other than pavement.

 

edit: The real bug is that while in the career/career tutorial the gameplay setting: "Enable gas stations in freeroam" is took in consideration making impossible to advance in the tutorial. I think that career mode should force the setting on, during the tutorial at least.

While purchasing parts you are able to install parts that are already present on the car.

 

love this progress on career mode, its crazy it's been a year and it's finally getting better

 

So i just done a race that i had to use my own vehicle to get the bonus star, and then i realized the damage carried over. To further add my .02 cents why could we not just use them from the get go instead of having to do the mission first? It could be turned into risk/reward system by only having insurance cover a certain percentage of the damage vs a flat rate of $500 and increase payouts based on using your vehicle. More risk = more reward. And for the delivery missions, if my customized d-series has a tow hitch you'd think i could use it instead of the stock one.

 

Loving the update and career mode developments, its an interesting choice to bill players for crashing in a game many people view as a crashing game instead of a sim but I see what your going for. Looking forward to seeing where it goes from here!

 

So I don't know if it's only in my save or what but I can't access the computers or the dealerships. When I press open dealership or computer sometimes (rarely) it works, sometimes it shows for one second and closes and most of the times it just doesn't work and the prompt to open the dealership goes away

 

I've always had this in mind, so now I'll write down my idea for the career mode here: from the WCUSA map, you could use the train or an airport to get to the ECUSA map. From there by plane to Italy map and then to New Zealand. And similarly to different maps where we can do different missions. It cost money to travel to another country and it takes 2 or 3 real life minutes. how about that?

 

The tutorial is great! Had no issues with it. However, i have a question regarding the car shopping system, is it possible for car info to take into account class of vehicle and its model year? I mean, right now i'm playing career and there is a 1987 Legran taxi with only 4700 km of mileage, which is obviously too small for a taxi this old, and at the same time 1986 bolide with over 180 000 km, which seems too much for a supercar, even of that age

 

The new tutorial system works great. and my first hour or so of career gameplay has been really enjoyable. I think however I have encountered a bug. I cannot tell if I am doing something wrong on my end to cause this. But after saving and quitting with both cars I owned parked in the garage (an Etki and a Sunburst). I loaded back in with only my etki available. i know I saved that game after purchasing the sunburst as my money was still depleted having completed the sale. I am also unable to spawn the missing car in . as my computer shows empty on my owned cars list

 

I also have a suggestion, can you please add notification to confirm quitting purchasing parts when there are parts in the shopping cart, because at first i accidentally clicked "back" button, the shopping list has been cleared and i had to select all parts once again from scratch

Also, don't know, if it's a bug or temporary limitation, but there is no way to paint your car or to remove/change parts

 

I can second this one.

First problem, you can't remove a part that's already on your car. Say I want to remove the back seats from that ETK, there's no way I can do that.

Second problem, you can't replace a part without purchasing a new one. Say I buy a vented Brigsby bumper for that same car, but then decide I liked the stock bumper better after all, I can't reinstall the stock one from inventory - would have to buy a new one instead. And the Brigsby bumper also comes with its own fog lights, even if you decide that you'd rather do without them.
