Smokey Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 How do you feel about driving games like Gran Turismo? Ridge Racer? Driver? Are you a fan of them? I can take them or leave them to be honest. I don't mind driving in games like GTA, well at least not in the older games on the PS2. I generally don't find driving segments in games to be all that entertaining, but I can see their appeal. Are you a fan of driving games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortie Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 I have always been a fan of driving games but I haven't played them in a while myself to be honest. I love to hang out and play games such as Forza Horizon and I remember when I was a kid we used to have a Nigel Mansell I believe it was an F1 game for the Super Nintendo and that was a game I used to spend a good chunk of time playing after school when I had done my homework.

Shagger Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 I'm more of a fan of arcade racers and "kart" racers. It's not like I have anything against driving sim's, I just think that other types of racing games are more creatively diverse and have more to offer.

killamch89 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 I love driving games and I've always been playing them - whether it's Ridge Racer, Need For Speed, Drivr, Gran Turismo, Mario Kart, Twisted Metal, Forza or any other game that includes driving, I love playing them.

Empire Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 The only driving games that I do, with my G29 is ETS and or ATS 🙂 I have got F1 games but not really into them, in fact I can't get the settings right to able to do a race... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 I have to concur with @Shagger on this one. I prefer unconventional racing games and kart games. F-Zero is a longtime favorite of mine. I've played a few over the years, and while fun, they just weren't my thing. I ended up with Ford vs Chevy at some point, but it just couldn't get its hooks into me. Racing games are wildly popular, but it's such a small niche that a lot of gamers either overlook them, or just aren't into them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane99 Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 I used to play the hell out of Driver 1 and 2 growing up. Even though the first game had that notoriously hard tutorial that you had to beat to get started, I really enjoyed the driver games. Even with the time limits and all that, idk what it was. Maybe it was the car physics and the graphics at the time, but I really liked the Driver series. I even like Driver 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F-zero was a lot of fun on the SNES and there was one for the PS1 called Jet Moto that had flying bikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizdustry Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Two driving games I've played are Forza, and Grand Theft Auto Five. While GTA amongst it's various releases, focuses on Grand Theft Auto and committing crimes, it does have an element of driving within. However, Forza is more focused on the competitive racing and "speed". Shortie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't had time to play the latest Forza Horizon game as much as I wanted to but the game with every new release just gets better over time. GTA is great for just driving around sometimes and checking out the map, they have such huge maps and loads to explore and being able to do that in a vehicle is awesome.

Remember a few times in GTA I got the "Dunce Hat" and got locked inside the Dunce Hat Group, where you get placed if you explode too many registered cars. That group is crazy with normal people to hackers constantly blowing you up. One man/ girl for him or herself. I think there was 365 days left, as it wasn't my first offence lol. Would be interesting to login to my gaming account now and check this. Shortie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverie Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 I loved them, except I was terrible at them. For some reason I could not for the life of me be good at racing games. I'm somewhat better at like Mario Kart due to being able to turn off the falling off the map. I was AMAZING at the one on the GBA though! I wish I could play that again and again.

PGen98 Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 I am fan of racing games and driving games, I used to absolutely love games like Outrun or Cruisin' USA, they were so much fun to play! Then you look at the modern systems and see games like Forza, and those are fun for a whole different reason. Sometimes you want to have a blast in a sporty car, sometimes you want to do objective-based gaming in a car. It's all fun and all good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravenfreak Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 I'm more into kart racing games myself. I tried playing Driver 2 when I was a kid but I couldn't get into it. My dad loved the game though, so he ended up playing through most of it. I do like a few racing games like Super Hang On, and I don't mind playing a racing game at a arcade here and there.

Kennysplash Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 I played need for speed to a comma then. Then GTA, which I only drive there since I’m not a fan of shooting. I will continue driving around aimlessly just for the thrill of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
