WRC 10.  I've been trying the online challenges these past few weeks and I'm almost always in the top 20 at the end of the day.

[Which Video Games Have You Bought Several Times?]

So, I'm not alone in that observation.

[Which Video Games Have You Bought Several Times?]

I got NHL '99 once as a teen.  I lost that copy and years later bought another one.  I've actually come to hate the game because I feel like my skaters are slower than those of the other team.

[What Game That Would Never Get Made Today Do You Wish Would Get a Remake?]

My vote goes to The Dukes of Hazzard: Racing for Home.  The issue comes down to the Confederate flag.  My solution is that if the doors of the General Lee say 01, why can't the roof also have an 01 on it.  This would be in place of the Confederate flag.

[New Games That Hit Nostalgic Vibes?]

The NBA Live games used to have decade all star teams.  If the court and player hairstyles were accurate enough it was like a time machine.

WRC 10.  I finished fourth in an online challenge with the rally stage Monti Di Ala from the Rally Sardinia.

[What Was the First Video Game Moment that Made you Emotional?]

I remember that Twisted Metal Black had a level that looked like a very sterile, soulless version of a New Jersey city.  I felt very bad for the residents, even though it was just a game, as they say.

[Have You Ever Had A Game You Couldn't Finish?]

I don't remember if I've told this story here yet, but I was on the final level of The Dukes of Hazzard: Racing for Home and I scratched the PS1 disc because I dropped it.  I never got to complete the game.

WRC 10.  Lately I've stopped playing seasons and tried different challenges.

[WRC 10]

I know that I've been gone from this forum for a while.  I came back to talk about WRC 10.  It has a great anniversary mode.  In this mode you can relive old rally stages in historic rally cars.  Similar to how Twisted Metal 4 was easier to beat than the earlier TMs, WRC 10 is far easier than it's predisessors.  I do however find maintenance and training events to be more difficult than in WRC 9.  Rock and leaf definition leave something to be desired, but I really like the look of the buildings.  I could go on and on about WRC 10, but now I want to hear from others on the forum.  I play on my Nintendo Switch.

[I've just purchased WRC 9.]

Wait, there's a Switch called the Leaf?  I was talking about how leaves are animated in WRC games.  Sorry about the confusion.

[I've just purchased WRC 9.]

I like the Switch's graphics.  Maybe the leaf definition could be better when it comes to trees, but other than that it's good.

[I've just purchased WRC 9.]

The best thing about rally games is seeing lands that you may never get to see in person and playing with cars that aren't for sale in your nation's market.

WRC 9.  Before that it was GT6.  Lately in GT6 I've been kind of addicted to the '67 El Camino SS.  I have a bunch of different colors and aerodynamic features.  Each one costs 30,000 game credits to buy and it doesn't take me that long to earn 30,000.  I'm considering re-visiting NBA Live '03 soon.

[I've just purchased WRC 9.]

Yeah, but I was talking about spoiler angle to change the down-force.

[I've just purchased WRC 9.]

I feel like there is less customization in 9.  You can't change spoiler angle or ride height like you could in 8.

[I've just purchased WRC 9.]

Thanks.  I just remembered another difference between 8 and 9.  You have more options of places they could send you on maintenance days in 9.

[I've just purchased WRC 9.]

I have.  The Rally Sweden rules.  I'm also good at Portugal.  I like Sardinia, but I'm not as good as I used to be there.  I've also been devolving in Finland.  They changed the stage routes and I like the old ones better.  Germany is tough, but it was tough in WRC 8 also.  Wales has been good to me, I've improved at it.  Another thing that I've noticed is that my car only gets body and lighting damage.  Vital systems like the engine and transmission are nearly indestructible in WRC 9.  I'll keep you guys informed on more differences between 8 and 9 as they come up.

[I've just purchased WRC 9.]

Thanks.  Next time I receive a penalty I'll check if the letters and numbers are all in the same color.

[I've just purchased WRC 9.]

Yeah, I think I pulled a covering off.

[I've just purchased WRC 9.]

Nevertheless, this isn't as bad as the glitch I had in WRC 8 where I couldn't access my in game e-mails anymore.

[I've just purchased WRC 9.]

I only play my Switch as a handheld.  The other figures are in the white letters and numbers like they are supposed to be.

[I've just purchased WRC 9.]

A game glitch that I've noticed is that my penalties aren't displayed in bright enough numbers on the leader board between stages.  This gets annoying when I'm trying to beat the objective on penalty times and the number is hard to see.  It's a minor grievance though.

[I've just purchased WRC 9.]

I find 9 easier to play.  I guess the improved handling physics make me think that.  I laugh whenever I get to a higher series and a woman's voice tells me what to do, but the illustration is of a bearded guy.  Just another thing I've noticed.

[I've just purchased WRC 9.]

It could also be the game developers honoring a legendary car model on its way out.  Also, I've found another difference between WRC 8 and 9.  In 8 one can only reach experience level 50.  You can reach level 60 in 9.
