The main issue with this game is that it just lacks impact. Or hype, or whatever. There's also no natural pacing in the objective game modes that make for some frantic moments (or nobody, including me, understands the modes yet...). It's all paced too evenly, making it feel dull. No extra hype when the match is about the end, or when it's close. It all just flatlines. Maybe Gridfall is different, I only played it once and immediately drove off a cliff 🤣.
If I were to rank the game modes I think it would go Mayhem>Stockpile>Gridfall>Carnado , Carnado has the worst focus. All the other modes are great and esch hero flexes in different ways

- The Maps feel too big, making it hard to hit others- So often I can drive around and not hit anyone or will keep missing even in a full match no matter what the mode. For a game about chaos it just often feels like I'm doing more catching up than actual wrecking.
I feel the same about these points. Also the fact that other people leave the match and there are no AI cars to replace them, makes the thing worse as the match progresses. I hope they address these in the future.I think the biggest issues here (that aren't like glitches/matchmaking) are

- Some of the rule sets need to be redone - Mainly talking about the BR mode here. You shouldn't lose/draw in a game and automatically get like no points for playing. Every BR on the market gives you points equal to your place near the top. So don't take away people's destruction bonus.
- Not enough SP content that isn't barred behind a paywall- I think a lot of people are sleeping on the free challenge mode (Which is effectively character story mode). IMO the games core mechanic shines in SP where you aren't struggling to play how the game wants. I legitimately had the most fun when trying to get all stars on the free character.
I hate talking down about the game, but I do so because at its core there's absolutely something great here. It just needs some help getting out.

That's Las Vegas, and yeah it's the worst Carnado arena. My problem is that once you dump your car for points, you don't have an easy way of getting another. Your only option is to jump and grab one of the four floating platforms nearby which will lead you to a car. The problem is that the platforms require a near perfect jump to grab them, and you have to run far away for a car if you can't manage to do it.I do not like that stage that is a big circular area in the middle with steps in Carnado mode. It has too many walls/ledges. Really stalls the flow of the match, feels like everyone's just hitting the walls all of the time.

I was unaware of this and hadn't considered it. Thanks for the tip!You can direct the car towards the centre, jump out of your car early and still bank the points when the car hits the tornado.

Personally I haven't seen that behaviour yet, but I have seen other people post about it elsewhere.is just me or the mute-voice-chat-in-activity-cards doesnt appears in every match?
It should appear when the "Voice chat has started" notification comes up, usually during character selectis just me or the mute-voice-chat-in-activity-cards doesnt appears in every match?
. Where can i turn off other people's mics? i'm sure the game has that option but i can't find it, lmao.
Yeah this is really dumb (someone already explained why) but it's awful how muted everything sounds. I don't want music during a match like others do, but I'd love for the sound to actually have some impact.
Weird, I haven't noticed this happening in the other games I play. But I'll give it a shot, thanks.It's the party chat kicking in. PS party by default lowers game volume so you can hear the chat :D which in this case is the big issue
You can adjust party/game mix in audio settings on the quick menu when you press the PS Home button.

Does this game have couch multiplayer? Can i play against my friend when he's sitting next to me? Or is it solo or online multiplayer only
That's... super disappointing. I was so looking forward to this game thinking i could play it with my bro or my friend when they're here. Like good old Destruction Derby. Ouch.The latter. Solo on your own or online multiplayer. No local stuff.

I thought it was a joke, lmao. I'll explore that. I barely use activity cards and have no idea what's going on. (because i still don't play a lot of ps5 games)
I really hope this is still a part of the game coming in the future.
