[quote name="Entropy Stew"][quote name="Jerry Whorebach"]No one has ever once said Street Fighter would be more fun if your punches started coming out slower after you'd been knocked in the head a few times.[/quote] Bushido Blade was fucking great. [quote]So who the hell wants to have to finish a race with a bum wheel just because they got shunted into a guardrail on the first corner?[/quote] This is when I press "restart race" because I fucked up. [quote]The answer is no one. No one wants to do that.[/quote] YOU don't like doing that. [quote]This is why the next most requested feature in racing games, after realistic damage modeling, is always and invariably <i>a fucking rewind button so you can undo the consequences of realistic damage modeling.</i>[/quote] Guess what? Racing is an exercise in progressively damaging your car. Tires account for 75% of your simulation, and racing literally melts them off your fucking rim. Top Gear guests have sent wheels flying, for Christ's nitro-burning sake. Clutch plates turn into powder. IT IS WHAT HAPPENS TO CARS. Why the fuck would I not want it simulated if I am trying to simulate racing? What's next on your list of unnecessary racing minutia to go? Friction? -/ES/-[/quote]
