yeah similar here as in it's an achievement rather than a cool looking game or something it's the 4th place score thats the important one as it says stage 6, there isn't a stage 6 it means i've completed the game (dodonpachi doj) which was really difficult!

finished the story mode earlier, unfortunately never properly got into it, felt like i was getting a hang of the handling just before they introduce combat, changing the controls about a bit did help a bit with combat but also took me a few steps backwards on the handling. there is some stuff i liked, some of the cars look really cool, some of the music and tracks i liked, the story i thought was alright, if i could have got a hang of the handling i'd have liked it. but overall can't recommend it. feel like the chase cam could do with some options, maybe even just making it more normal might have fixed my problems with the handling. also taking out some of the various system so making the controls a bit simpler would probably also have been better for me.

crosscode is good imo

Cheers I’ll give it a try!

Is that while drifting?

I’ll try switching it to A, thanks for the tip!

read a tip online about not braking while drifting, and that does seem to help with not sliding straight on into walls so much, so was getting a hang of the handling a bit. then got to the combat stuff and struggling to hold the right bumper and aim at another car with the right stick at the same time as holding the right trigger to accelerate, tried messing with the controls a bit to help but didn't get anywhere. dropped the difficulty down to story mode to compensate for not being able to press all the buttons at the same time.

there's probably a lot of types of games i'm rubbish at, like most turn based combat games, especially persona style ones but i still like them. and fighting games like dmc3.

Like the upgrading cars and stuff? I’d also have been fine with that part removed. I think the other Woden racing games have a gran turismo style progression with upgrades so possibly a carry over from that

As denshattack got delayed and this was on sale on steam (although still pretty expensive) I got it. I like a lot of the stuff here, the story mode is interesting as you don’t get that in racing games often, although I’m not too far in. The graphics are nice, the tracks seem decent. Unfortunately the most important thing, the handling, I am struggling with, I think having a more normal chase cam would help but anyway I’ll stick at it and hopefully get into it.

Played this just before my gamepass ran out the other week. I enjoyed it, liked the music and liked the characters/story, there was just enough interaction to keep me interested. Good game imo

Yeah I really liked this, like Sly says it’s like an arcadey version of art of rally. (I also prefer art of rally) but people more into arcade racers I think will like this more.

coming to switch 18th https://www.nintendo.com/en-gb/Games/Nintendo-Switch-download-software/Parking-Garage-Rally-Circuit-3114509.html

yeah steam version £34 on loaded at the moment, probably preorder that

yeah inertial drift is cool. i'll definitely get this at some point, just skipping the demo, i think what you said makes sense the demo might do more harm than good if it takes a while to get into
