The RC missions in the original version of San Andreas are brutally difficult because they're actually broken and don't function as intended. They fixed a bug for (as far as I know) every subsequent port.
How did you figure out what "shalom" was when you first played Driver?
It's Slalom, not shalom.
Well, in my case I'm specifically talking about the RC Helicopter mission in Vice City. But what bug is this? Because I don't recall having that much of an issue with them in the original PS2 version of San Andreas but it has been 20 years
From what I heard, people were turned off from the game BECAUSE of the tutorial. Even so, it was successful enough to be a franchise and win a couple awards, so it did SOMETHING right.
Only reason I've heard of Driver was from GTA throwing jabs at it from the 3D era. "Tanner, you suck ass!" Driver: SF, meanwhile, is a good game.
Same. Nobody I knew in school gave a shit about Driver until GTA III made fun of it.
As ass as Driver was, it was good that there WERE GTA clones out during its heyday so that the GTA formula and series could have competition. Not even competition, just make some ideas better. I know that Driver predated the 3D open world gameplay loop that GTA III revolutionized.
Necrofantasia tends to be a major fan-favorite due to being set to an iconic fight against one of more popular characters in one the older, more iconic games in the series.
This already exists. It's called a mid-range gaming PC. There's emulators for the PS3, original Xbox, and Xbox 360.
Last I checked, both of those are still terrible to emulate and even PS3 is hit-or-miss depending on title.
20+ years ago, Anita, Mercante, Schreier, and all other gAmInG jOuRnAlIsT creetins would have been ran out of the industry.
Hell, if that was the case, 20 years ago, the feminists thought that having sexy women in cartoons and video games was empowering; someone like Anita would've been laughed out of the room for being a prude.
I'd figured original Xbox would be easier to emulate since an Xbox is just a modified PC. I wonder why it wouldn't be.
You're thinking of Supply Lines, where you had to use a RC plane to destroy rival vans. The meter would drain when you press the accelerate button AND under a time limit too. I think they fixed it in later versions where it's just holding down the accelerator would drain the fuel.
From what I've read, it's more a function of lack of interest than technical challenges. There just aren't that many Xbox exclusives that people care about.
Huh?
Two games that come to mind with that are Super Mario Sunshine and Outrun: Coast to Coast.
They both look the same. No art direction.
I mean, yeah. I've played a bunch of Zelda games, but I mostly enjoyed BotW and TotK as video games as opposed to a continuation of a series. I totally get that fans of the other games may feel they miss something. I think they stand on their own very well though. Different strokes for different folks.
