Ridge Racer 6

[Melf]

lol Yeah I guess so. I dunno if it's just that I'm not used to it because I'm new to the series (PSP RR is the first one I really got into) or if it's just the fact that I'm so used to non-drift racing games but I only drift when I go around a turn. I don't swing the car left and right like crazy when I'm going down a straight line. Just feels strange and dirty to me.

It sucks, plain and simple. I still find R6 to be slow and dull, and the fact that you have to slide all over the fucking place to build up nitrous, just to get some sense of real speed, shows it. When a race starts and everyone starts spazzing out all over the place, it just seems like something is broken. I know about the better cars, blah blah, but it's stupid that someone can just drift all over the place and constantly be ahead. It says that you should spend more effort learning the drift exploit than unlocking better cars.

Dude, seriously. You have no idea what you're talking about with this game. Stop. Nothing you said in that paragraph is even true.

When I played it online, everyone racing did the drift/nitrous thing. It was really lame. I know what I experienced, thank you.

No you don't.

Nitrous builds up depending how fast you are going. The higher the speed of the drift, the faster you build it. The only way to get up a high speed is to drive in a straight line, not zig-zagging around. I don't know what you think you saw, but go into a class 3 or 4 race, start drifting all over the place and let me know how you do. Not having a good racing line = instant ownage.

I wasn't in a high class race that I know of, and the others were all using the same car as me. They were drifting all over the place and consistently stayed ahead of my traditional driving. I was using drifting in turns to build up nitrous, but I could never catch up.

Regardless, I simply don't have enough interest in R6 to keep playing it. I found it to be too slow and dull, and it requires much more time to get through than I'm willing to invest. It's just not really my style of play.

Okay. I'm sorry for being so mean.

RIDGE RACER RULES OK!!

Started this tonight. I haven't played a Ridge Racer since the first one on PS1. I like it. I could see getting way into the World Explorer mode if I had the inclination.

I wonder how it will feel to go back to TD:U (currently still my favorite 360 game) after this drift-crazy madness, though.

I just watched Lemony Snicket and I feel really dirty for thinking that 14 year old girl is hot. She is though.

Don't worry, it happened to all of us. It's natural.
