Release date for RE4, Killer 7

[A Black Falcon]

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

How does that follow my logic first game with shortcuts like that!

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.

Did I forget to mention that I own NFS1 and NFSHS? And NFSHS has all of the NFSIII tracks hidden in it... okay I haven't raced all of those but I've raced a few. NFS has very few shortcuts. Maybe one a track, maybe...

As for NFS2, I've played two of its tracks in demos. I'll admit it's been some time though so I don't remember them... I remember one shortcut in one of those tracks, though.

Oh, and as for NFS1, does it have any shortcuts at all? I sure haven't seen any.

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.

I didn't say Rush invented shortcuts. I said it invented that style of huge, long shortcuts that are all over the track and allow you to spend a LOT of your driving time offcourse... BAR isn't quite at that level, but it tries. :)

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.

Speed Busters is better because at points along the tracks (in at least one mode, in the first demo that is) there are these police cars/helicopters along the track and they clock your speed and you get something (sorry forget what) the faster you're going when you go through them...

Oh, and the tracks are cooler. :) That Hollywood track is great... okay, it's not super deep or anything, but it's a fun game.

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

Yes, because Team XBox is a truly reliable objective source!

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

You're ignoring how ETM's overall score on gamerankings is significantly lower than Rush 2049's, like by 10%... and IGN64 is a Nintendo IGN site, stupid! :)

And my point stands that ETM didn't get much of anything even 80% or up while Rush 2049 got a fair number of scores in that range. You just can't deny that.

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.

BAR better than Rush 2049.. that idea is just so insane... it's taste, I guess, but I don't get it at all.

What isn't taste, BTW, is you denying that Rush 2049 could be a game people could like as much as me. Oh I know that by your rules it is impossible for any game you dislike to be good by anyone's viewpoint, but you REALLY need to figure out how reality works -- how everything that you see as great isn't objectively so! This is your biggest problem, OB1. You act like it is impossible to ever like a game more than (or less than ) you do... you might say 'believe what you want' but even then you do it with a VERY strong undertone of (but you're stupid and wrong to think that way)...

Okay, I defend my perspective, but I don't say that YOU should think the same as me! Which is why I'm not saying that objectively NFS is better than XG. It probably isn't. That is just MY PERSPECTIVE. Based on what I see as the important things in a game. Not you. Me. We aren't the same. *gets blank stare and expects comment of "you are stupid and have bad taste*

Maybe you don't hate Rush, but you clearly have no clue how anyone could love it as much as I do...
