Never tell your password to anyone.
5:39 PM - Blash: How much would you recommend the Crew?
5:40 PM - Mork: it's the 1st of its genre (MMOcaRPG) so it's far from perfect.
5:41 PM - Mork: my advice, don't buy it retail... wait for a full-on sale
5:42 PM - Blash: That's what I was planning on doing, thanks
5:43 PM - Blash: I like that, caRPG
5:43 PM - Blash: Did you come up with that?
5:43 PM - Mork: no, it's just going around, idk who first coined it LOL!
5:44 PM - Blash: haha, nice. Thanks for the input
5:47 PM - Mork: also the fact that it's on uplay might taint its virtue so keep that in mind.
5:50 PM - Blash: even when purchased through steam?
5:51 PM - Mork: yup, it's still gonna force you to launch uplay to run the game.
5:51 PM - Blash: hmm, that's a little ridiculous
5:51 PM - Blash: thanks for letting me know
5:53 PM - Mork: yup, it's like a deal with the devil involved https://i.imgur.com/YSerpv6.png
5:54 PM - Mork: the story is the same for every ubisoft game
5:54 PM - Blash: haha, i love it
5:54 PM - Blash: so should i just purchase it through uplay then?
5:55 PM - Mork: i suggest you buy it off steam and just ignore uplay in the background
5:56 PM - Mork: then when you get into the game and find yourself in a crew, get them to use steam to communicate instead.
5:57 PM - Blash: makes sense, sounds good
5:57 PM - Blash: is it a fun game though?
5:58 PM - Blash: i mean obviously you've got your money's worth with that many hours
5:59 PM - Mork: yeah i like it fine... i find the virtual drive relaxing
6:00 PM - Blash: nice
6:00 PM - Blash: i appreciate the chat
6:02 PM - Mork: sure thing.... i still don't know how to review this game so i think i'll just copy and paste this conversation LOL!

EDIT: now that i'm more informed...

EDIT2: and here are some TC1 videos that are seldom seen for reasons unknown, it was region locked for a long time so that I couldn't access it even though I'm in the English-speaking state of California...

TDU wasn't I don't think. NFS World was there first... and then before that there were some Korean ones... maybe that's what Drift City was.

I think 'caRPG' was first used by Mike on the Youtube Channel 'Outside XBox'. Here it is:

Yeah ok, I stand corrected.

TDU and Drift City are two notable examples of MMOcaRPG's made long before The Crew though.

As marcel said... TDU was the first Car MMO.
Marcel76 14 Apr, 2015 @ 10:42am 
:stop:Ist not the first MMOcaRPG, its predecessor Test Drive Unlimited was the first.

An age old tale about how purchases are really made.
