What's the best racing game out there for just driving around in an open world?

People who use third person view in racing games need to be hung by their ankles and shot.

People who use first person view in racing games need to be hung by their ankles and shot.

People who play racing games need to be hung by their ankles and shot.

Using first person when its not locked for all players is a massive disadvantage.

People who play video games need to be hung by their ankles and shot.

People who use second person view in racing games need to be hung by their ankles and shot.

People who use cars in racing games need to be hung by their ankles and shot

Most racing games have a really fucked up 1st view camera

gta5 and san andreas

Being 12 is hard.

>playing car game
>can't even see car

What are you trying to accomplish with limiting to 1st person anyway? Are you some MLG race car driver?

The Crew

Game is typical Ubisoft junk for the most part but driving coast to coast is maximum comfy.

Forza Horizon 2 is also a good contender. 1 is more of a competitive atmosphere, and I couldn't get into 3 at all.

I'm a huge Forza fan, but The Crew has the most comfy world.

>tfw driving through bible belt country

This.

It's like playing one of those old FPSs where you can't even see the gun.

The only answer has to be burnout paradise surely?

it's for kids who cant get their IRL licence yet

I was really impressed by Forza Horizon 3. I'd be surprised if there was a open word racing game that feels better.
I only use it for games that don't have a cockpit view option, like NSF 2015/16.

I use third person and automatic transmission

Without VR or a multi display setup 1 st person is a waste of time.

GTA V with some mods is very good. Otherwise, Forza Horizon 3 or older NFS games.

I've been driving longer than you've bathing with you uncle mate, so more then 20 years.

You're what's killing racing games.

FUEL
Literally miles and miles of absolutely NOTHING to get lost in.

Have fun.

First person is literally the only way to play. Drive better.

unless I have a steering wheel/ cockpit set-up there is zero reason to use manual transmission.

Burnout Paradise if you like "collectibles"

>wheel on the left side
Ugh

britbong please leave
you are the MINORITY

What game does this? Why wouldn't the standard third person behind-the-car cam follow the car as it turns?

Seems like you're saying that first person is best only because one dev implemented a really shitty third person view, which is an odd way of looking at things.

Oh yeah, kind of like muricans who can't use normal units.

It's the Japanese car from the meme anime.

For Open world, your choices are kind of limited. IIRC there was an open world map for Assetto Corsa, Other than that, there's a ton of hillclimb maps that might satisfy the itch, but they're only one route.

If you're not afraid of older games and the problems they bring, Midtown Madness holds up today, and Midnight Club 1+2 are a continuation of the series. Controllers are nice with MM, but wheels feel much better. You can use either

Of course there's the GTA games, but 4 isn't very good. It's kneecapped by GWFL, and even with GWFL bypassed it still is terribly optimized and it's driving model is the worst in the series. Tires feel like dried up pieces of shit, adn your suspension will hit the bumpstops at 15mph. Plus the city design is awful with tons of chokepoints, and bad traffic algorithms, especially on the bridges and skyways. 5 is alright, but it's a bit dull. I tried 5 with a wheel, and it's nothing you want to be attempting. It's just really vauge and terrible. Use a controller.

Forza Horizon 3 is open world, and the driving is pretty good, but it's sprinkled with problems. Terrible optimization, Way too spendy with the DLC, too many luxo-SUVs, unicorn cars galore, awful AI, broken PP system, it really tarnishes the experience. You can use a controller with it, but it's shit. Use a damn wheel.

Euro trucker sim 2 is a pretty good open world driving game, but it's not really balanced towards speed freaks like myself. Also the roads are a bit samey, and london is like, 4 city blocks. But if you enjoy driving, it's a must have game. Needs a steering wheel though.

So there is no great open world sim, but there are a few with their own problems.

BeamNG.drive is the most fun car game in an open world. Only problem is its barebones as fuck and forever trapped in early access.

>you are the MINORITY
you see it's funny because Britian is full of brown people

Then get a decent set up, or fuck right off.
Stop shitting up racing games with your fucking plebbittry, pleb.

All open world and tuner focused NFS games are awful. Only the supercar focused NFS games were ever serviceable. 3 being the best, Shift being the worst.
If you don't use a wheel for at least forza horizon levels of realism, your opinion is worthless. You're like the people who play music games with PS2 controllers.

you can't easily look out your passenger windows in a video game first person perspective

fuck outta here.

Driver is a great drive around and see the sights sort of game

>all that black and brown

well at least they aren't racist.

>Not playing GH3 with Ps2 controller

What's the point then, go and play your real guitar

um, excuse me, but in what fucking FPS do you not see your own gun? The only one I can think of is Ghost Recon

>Sup Forums: The Post

Midnight Club LA is the best racing game.

Drift City

Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit is pretty good.

which one

forza horizon series

Test Driver Unlimited 2.

I second GTA5 honestly

Only if you pirate it. If you pay for the game it's shit.

FUCKING THIS

torrent when

...

...

it's been available to torrent for ages.

3rd this. Ubisoft gave away the Crew last year on uplay and I really enjoyed playing through it. Driving through areas I had been to and seeing the usual landmarks and shit was tons of fun.

GO HOOD CAM OR GO HOME

ya i fuckin love that game

For ETS you really need the Scandinavia and France DLCs, cities are still only a few blocks large and motorway driving will never not be samey but both expansion areas build on the best parts of the game, going round B-roads and mountain passes at unsafe speeds with 20 tons behind you.

ruined by the cartoony ass superpowers IMO

Not locked to windows 10 when?

ETS and ATS are actually intense as fuck, im usually mentally exhausted after playing them for a while

I find it pretty relaxing, pop on a podcast or radio show and trundle around.

>literally optional

Redout.
