Ok so I came across your F1 2021 game post and I am glad I did since there are a severe lack of them and like yessss, I love Aiden Jackson💜. The story mode is actually really good for a first time story mode. If you’re still playing or finished playing Braking point what are your thoughts on it gameplay, character and story wise?
I finished playing the story mode as soon as I could haha. I actually couldn't stand up till I finished it because it was so good!
So my full opinion:
• Story: Codemasters really impressed me this year. And interesting and chaotic story that can make you feel anger, sadness, happiness. If you showed it to someone I bet they couldn't tell it's their first story! I loved every single moment especially the tense parts and the realization part! Although I'm a bit disappointed with the ending. Yeah, Aiden gets an email from Toto/Horner/Binotto, but that's it? I would have loved to see Butler's reaction to losing or to Aiden getting the seat. This made me feel like the story is a bit incomplete, but it was still great! (I bought the Breaking Point pack as well, so I just made Aiden my driver besides Robert Shwartzman in the My Team Career, haha).
• Characters:
- Aiden Jackson: I loved him, you can see that this kid is a great guy! He's only 19 in the story, but he already showed great talents! He takes blame for his action (although its was just a misunderstanding) showing he has a good soul! He also lacks confidence because he immediately believes Butler and the "paddock". All in all, I love how Codemasters made his character, he's a charming and lovely guy who'll become great in the future of F1!
- Casper Akkerman: He's the character that I think is the most real. His struggles can easily represent many people. He's getting a bit old for the sport and youngsters are coming to replace him, so he tries to show that he still has a place there. He's not a bad person, but he's blinded by the fact that he thinks that Aiden is paid more. Near the end you can see that he cares about Aiden and knows that he needs support because he's a kid. I absolutely loved how he became a mentor figure for Aiden!
- Zoe Akkerman: I loved her character as well, perfectly shows an energetic and caring wife! Her relationship with Casper is a perfect representation of a healthy and supportive relationship!
- Devon Butler: Oh boy, oh boy! He's the perfect villain! His voice and his looks are exactly perfect for such a self-centered man like him. What a sore loser he is! Although he's smart too! A cunning man who's ready to ruin others' career for his own benefit!
As for Brian, he perfectly represents a team boss who cares about his drivers, but still focuses on the fact that they need to score points and is not afraid to chew out the racers.
Besides these, I can praise the graphics, which were really good! I also love that they didn't completely abandoned Lukas Weber, just made him a background character.
All in all, 10/10! I really enjoyed the whole thing and I can't wait to see what they come up with next year!
(So realistic! 😆)
