StaceyPowers Posted June 9, 2021 Posted June 9, 2021 What video games have you played with awesome driving mechanics? And which ones have you played with terrible driving mechanics? What made them good or bad?
The Blackangel Posted June 9, 2021 Posted June 9, 2021 Hatred kinda sucks with its driving mechanics. The cars you steal, regardless of what it is, are always stiff, and next to impossible to steer. It's like they haven't invented power steering yet.
killamch89 Posted June 10, 2021 Posted June 10, 2021 The best driving mechanics is a toss-up between GTA, NFS, Gran Turismo, and Forza. As a matter of fact, there are plenty of other games that have very good driving mechanics. In my opinion, the worst driving mechanics in a video game is Cyberpunk 2077 - it is infuriating!
Reality vs Adventure Posted June 10, 2021 Posted June 10, 2021 I wouldn’t mind getting a racing game like Need For Speed, but I’m having a freakin blast and a gaped tooth smile playing Mad Max. GTA obviously is good too. But the desert is more fun. I can’t think of a bad one.
Family sedan Posted June 10, 2021 Posted June 10, 2021 GT6 has awesome driving mechanics. The worst I've seen is probably NASCAR Thunder '03. The steering is just way too sensitive. It takes nothing to spin a car into the infield.

Family sedan Posted June 10, 2021 Posted June 10, 2021 No, I meant Gran Turismo 6. I know it's old at this point, but I still love it to death.
m76 Posted June 10, 2021 Posted June 10, 2021 (edited) well if we exclude driving sims, then the original Mafia has the best driving mechanics. Worst probably a tie between L.A Noire, and Saint's Row 2-3-4 If we include driving sims, I think Live for Speed is still the king despite being quite old by now. Edited June 10, 2021 by m76
Patrik Posted June 10, 2021 Posted June 10, 2021 Best driving mechanics : GTA 4 Worst driving mechanics : Simpsons hit and run
The Blackangel Posted June 11, 2021 Posted June 11, 2021 I was originally thinking of Mario Kart games, but didn't think racing games counted. If they're fair game, the original Mario Kart game on SNES driving mehanics SUCKED. At least they improved with later entries.
Razor1911 Posted July 5, 2021 Posted July 5, 2021 Best driving mechanics: Need for Speed most wanted. Worst driving mechanics: GTA San Andreas.
Empire Posted July 5, 2021 Posted July 5, 2021 I say the best of the best that we all agree it's Euro/American Truck Simulator, A very relaxing and oddly addicting driving experience where you transport cargo across countries and run a trucking company if you want. It's great for listening to music or a podcast and taking in the scenery.

I love playing it multiplayer and single player.

Seriously, for now I can't really think of anything or anyone that I would call bad or maybe I haven't played enough, it depends.
