Release date for RE4, Killer 7

[OB1]

So now DD is the first game with low gravity?

I mostly remember the DD demo for being really hard. ... but hey it was 1996 and I was a lot younger...

Going by your logic yes, Rush copied DD's low gravity.

If "plenty" means "you'd be lucky if a track has more than one" then I agree with you about NFS.

NFS I: no shortcuts
NFS 2: from the two demo tracks a couple but not many
NFS 3: a few
NFSHS: again a few but not many.

I've played these games. They just do not have many shortcuts. They also don't have open areas or exploration. Rush has all of those in spades.

Playing a few demos of these games does make you an expert, I'm afraid. I have all of them and there are plenty of shortcuts throughout the tracks.

Mario Kart does have a few shortcuts but I'd defintely say Rush has more.

Yes, key word being "more". You pretty much said that Rush invented shortcuts and that BAR copied it in that way, which is ridiculous. BAR has as many shortcuts as Mario Kart.

The handling works for the game and is not "terrible". And it's just plain more fun than NFS...

It takes absolutely zero talent to play that game. The cars have terribly shallow controls, and not the good shallow like F-Zero. Even comparing Speed Devils to NFS shows how laughable your taste in games is.

You have one bizarre definition of "good"!

It got a 4/5 from teamxbox.com and games domain, and plenty of 7's.

How about A's? Rush got some. Including IGN.

ETM got reviews that said how mediocre it was on the whole and a coorespondingly low average. Rush got reviews from mediocre to quite good. Remember, IGN gave Rush 2049 a 9.0 for N64 and Dreamcast...

The non-Nintendo ign sites gave every game a good review back then. And yes ETM got some good reviews.

You know what I meant. My point that Rush is a Love/Hate game, and you're clearly on the hate side. You don't get it, so you don't see why anyone else could... well it isn't a bad game by everyone's standards! A lot of people love Rush! So as I said it's a Love/Hate game. Your not understanding that it is one is just more proof that I'm right that it is! With your typical attitude you think 'i don't like it so how could anyone'. Well it's obvious that a lot of people do so trying to say that it is objectively bad is false. So the only conclusion? You have a typical 'if I don't like it no one could' attitude, but it's not just you because of things like IGN... it's a love or hate game. Can you understand that?

Yes, I understand that you like crappy games. :D

Rush 2049 isn't bad, and I've stated that in the past. I have the game, and the stunt mode is fun. It's just not BAR or NFS good.

Keep telling yourself that, maybe it'll help you sleep at night to "know" that your great BAR wasn't contaminated by any evil ideas from bad old Rush over there...

Magnificent rebuttal.
