If it makes you feel any better, she's probably 17 now.;)

Confirmed.

Yeah, why do you think they cast someone that looks like her? To gross everybody out?

When you're hunting grade-school girls in a white van, it's time to feel guilty. Appreciating Emily Browning in her 14 year-old glory is what God intended.

BTN.

What the fuck? I came in here trying to find if this game is worth a damn and all I find is a nest of pedophiles. Goddamn kiddie fiddlers.

Hey bro, it's ok. You're among friends. :chunobi:

Wait a minute, what the hell. Everything I read told me PGR3 was the much better game, but I'm having far more fun with this. PGR felt like a clinical study in racing. This feels like a game. Just got to the nighttime Rave Racer track with the Galaga remix song. Damn good stuff.

Now I'm wondering if I made a mistake by skipping RR2 through 5. At least now I know there's ONE game to buy if I get a PS3 soon (RR7).

Pretty much any Ridge Racer game is a lot better than PGR.

Though know that RR6 is a lot more forgiving than the other Ridge Racer games. R4 is my personal favorite, and RRV is also very awesome. Both games are much better than RR6 (and presumably RR7, as it looks identical).

So what would something like Gran Turismo or Forza Motorsport be to you, then?

You are right in your assessment that PGR3 is the more technically demanding game (cue isamu.... now), and if that is not what you want it is not what you want. That is understandable, at least. Unlike...

I think PGR's arcadey enough that I wouldn't put it in the clinical study category, but I know exactly what you mean about the feeling like a game part. I own both, but something about PGR 3 leaves me flat (and I liked the first two games, never played PGR2). I had alot more fun with RR6. RR7 is like the exact same game with one more track and better customization options, though.

Geez, I didn't realize RR7 was that much of a rehash. Kind of sucks.

I know I know. I was this close to putting "and not in a good clinical study way like with Gran Turismo", but I wanted my comment to be zippier. I enjoyed the original GT as the hardcore sim that it was at the time, but kind of got my fill from that first game, and never felt an urge to buy the rest.

But yeah, I can see how PGR is a technically accomplished series. Like Strider said, it just left me feeling flat. I feel like maybe it's kinda soulless. I could change my mind if I gave it more time, though. I do that a lot.

In other news, I just played Burnout 3 for an hour and got the most intense rush of the night. That's white knuckle action right there -- literally. Ideally I'd like to finish that one before trying Revenge.

Maybe I'll pop in PGR3 for a refresher, and the trifecta.

I like racing games a lot recently.
