Quote:Oh please, TIE is daunting and realistic? Haha, come on now. Use MS Flight Simulator as an example, not an unrealistic Star Wars game.
TIE Fighter isn't much less realistic than the only version of MS Flight Simulator I have... of course that is FS 3.0, but still... :D
And compared to arcade flying games, yes, TIE Fighter is complex. Note the term -- complex. That is, it is a complex game to learn. Like a realistic flight sim it uses a lot of keys all over the keyboard... that is unless you have an expensive joystick-throttle set, which I don't... so yes, it definitely is complex and has a sizable learning curve until you get used to it. Which was my point.
Quote:How the hell was that a response to what I posted.
Because the real point of that point was repeating your stupid earlier assertion that XG and Pod are to F-Zero what Bloody Roar is to Virtua Fighter...
Quote:Racing wheels are best for just about all racing games. Obviously you are not a big racing fan and don't like good racers, so you don't care...
Oh, for some racing games it'd help, sure. I know that in arcades one of the good parts is being able to use a wheel and not a stick. But would it really be worth that much money? A decent wheel isn't cheap! My opinion so far has been no.
