It’s more an issue with their street models compared to their purpose-built race cars. If you can buy it at a dealership or used, they seem to prefer you’d do so, but stuff like NASCAR and WEC where average people absolutely cannot get their hands on it, they aren’t worried about.

Just give it a few more years.

I have the fondest memories of the first Budokai, and likely sank the most time into it and its sequel (3 didn’t get released on Gamecube so I’ve still yet to play it). But for the sake of variety and it not being mentioned yet, I should note I had a lot of fun with Supersonic Warriors on the GBA. Very simple but…

It’s a comment on the guy from Barstool exclusively using the term “girls” to refer to grown women, instead of referring to them as women, drawing attention to that discrepancy rather than literally interpreting their staff as underaged.

Sadly, no. Every GT Vision car made since GT Sport’s announcement is only being released for GT Sport, even if the specific car itself was originally announced during GT6's run.

They came to a screeching halt before completing the set for Gran Turismo 6, leaving a bunch of empty slots on the menu for it, and now abruptly picked up again with the impending release of GT Sport.

I’m definitely with you on not buying any games that include these, and it pains me that it’s left me with a lot less new stuff left to play. But I’ve still had something to play at any given moment without having to touch an exploitative un-fun business model, so it doesn’t feel like too big a sacrifice to say “if…

NASCAR Cup race at Charlotte was moved back to 1:15pm in an attempt to beat the rain, I believe.

It helps that you’re alongside 39 other people in vehicles usually drastically overpowered for the courses you’re on. If you’d like to be reductionist for the sake of thinking yourself ‘above’ a kind of motorsport, you’d likely never enjoy ‘drive in a straight line’ drag racing, ‘get the pole and go around in circles…

You’ll find a lot of fans are as disappointed to hear this as you are. I’d say not to let it dissuade you from what can be some pretty good racing, but then again, it’s not like this whole dealio is making me rush to see an NFL game, so.

I love cars and I’m disabled and can’t drive without risking blacking out at the wheel and killing someone, so hey. Congrats on not caring hard enough to declare you don’t care.

Alright! I’ll bump it up further priority; thank you! SV definitely had some camera weirdness, too, and it’s nice to have heads up I’ll be locked into characters on the first run.

Estival Versus live up to your hopes? I loved Shinovi Versus, but budget constraints have made me hesitate on the sequel for a long while.

I finally got my hands on DiRT 2. I’m really enjoying it; it’s very much the fantasy of racing more than the reality, but it stays so consistently upbeat, happy and beautiful that, even with people having complained at release that it was going for too edgy and dudebro, I just find it kind of cute and serene. You race…

That it is. All 23 tracks on it (though the road course layouts are different), and it’s actually a Cup again!

Yeah, I love stock car racing and NASCAR especially and I really want to get friends into this, but even with a guide, I genuinely can’t keep track of this.

Actually, it was only Madden NFL 2001 where they finally were bluntly asked to remove it, and thus I believe 2002 is the first entry to have the cart/stretcher instead.

“Said in private” are the key words there, I’d say.

It was originally an intentional joke on the part of the developers, but as time passed, the NFL was decreasingly okay with it and eventually asked for it to be removed in later installments, hence the lack of an injury animation in some titles and it being a brief cutaway in modern ones.

All I could think when I saw it is it was the motorsports equivalent of this.
