Hey G4WL (° ͜ʖ͡°)╭∩╮

PROS:

- Awesome graphics;

- Great driving experience (very good car handling);

- 37h (or even more) of actual gameplay (Completionist Playstyle, according to How Long To Beat [howlongtobeat.com]), though my playstyle took a little bit longer);

- Lots of FREE DLC included! It includes all of DiRT 3's DLC, adding several new cars and tracks to the game. Yay!

CONS:

- In the game's Video settings, selecting an Anti-aliasing (AA) mode higher than 8x MSAA won't work on newer GPUs such as nVIDIA's 900 series GPUs (you can find out more by reading the discussion here ). For e.g., on a GTX 970, the highest Anti-aliasing (AA) mode that you can go with is 8x MSAA, which is actually enough for this game and almost any game out there. If your PC can handle it, you should totally go with MSAA, because the game looks much better with it enabled and also, it isn't bugged like, for example, 8x QCSAA is on newer video cards;

- The lack of a soundtrack during all of the races and events. I have resolved this "issue" by listening to my own music;

- Took them (Codemasters) long enough to migrate DiRT 3 from GFWL to Steamworks DRM, but at least I got a free copy of DiRT 3 Complete Edition when it launched on Steam, given the fact that I have already owned DiRT 3 on Steam, prior to DiRT 3 Complete Edition's release. This is not really a con, but I though it was worth to be mentioned in my review :)

An absolute disaster! Where can I start?!

CONS:

- The game feels like it's not in Early Access, but in Pre-Alpha stage!!

- The voice acting... ugh ...horrible!

- Subtitles removed in a later patch (Jesus Christ devs, the hell did you do that for?!);

- The game has a "you know the word" grain effect which I can't stand and it's absolutely hideous to play the game with it enabled and did I mention the fact that you don't have an option to disable it?

- Buggy Achievements - I have tried my best but I have had it! I couldn't unlock not even a single achievement! although, of course, I did what I had to do so that the achievement/s should pop out!

- The game needs a lot of resources (it has way higher system requirements than the recommended ones, listed on the game's Steam Store page) to run smoothly, although it doesn't offer neither great graphics nor interesting and "the need to come back for more" kind of gameplay;

- Even if I had purchased it from a different digital online store alongside with a big -75% discount ($5), I still don't think that I had made a bargain at all! I also think the devs should have payed me the 5 bucks instead, for playing their broken and poorly optimized game!

PROS:

I'm sorry, but there aren't any pros in this one, only if it gets Removed from the Steam Store and then, I'll have one more game to count as a Game Removed from the Steam Store (I won't even...).
