After 350,000 signatures in an EU consumer rights campaign, Ubisoft is adding offline modes to The Crew games - but not the now-dead original (www.gamesradar.com)

I want Crew 1 offline more than the others because it has an actual single player campaign.

Looks like Ubisoft didn't get enough pressure.

While Ubisoft likely isn't going to make that happen, some dedicated fans are working on it

Yeah been keeping eye on it and they've been making good progress with some of the story being playable already.

Well, and because 2 is fucking abysmal as a game. The starter car shouldn't feel like it's on rails regardless of speed, mostly - it's a fucking racing game, get it right. (modern nfs is in the corner giggling but that piece of shit is always trying to force me to drift, again with an un-upgraded starter car with like 150hp, so it's no better)

I was a closed beta tester for 1 and 2, and was very excited for both, but going from 1 to 2 is a huge step backwards in handling alone. Whereas I pre-ordered 1 and got several others to as well, I told everyone I know to avoid 2, bought it on sale a while after launch, was immediately disappointed they never addressed this, and it sits with... 13 hours on the clock. As a reference, I have 4,048 hours played in Forza Horizon 5.

I have no idea how they fucked up so badly. It's a travesty.

(I play with keyboard/mouse out of preference but also because of physical disabilities, so while I /could/ use a controller and maybe mitigate this, grab a controller and try playing with one hand, see how great that experience is x_x) .

I haven’t even played my copy of The Crew. Seems like now I won’t ever be able to.
