Makes with the working
Venn-
- Main mechanic is broken on Linux.
- Still broken after the patch.
- Wonder why your boost is so irregular?
- Because it’s showing painted track where there is none.
- Does not save resolution settings.
- This has been resolved.
- I TAKE THAT BACK.
- It now defaults to 1080p on the main menu but everything in-game is 2160p.
- Resets player’s option configurations and save data.
- Also, resolved.
- Performance
- Has yet to dip below 60 @1080 with everything on 11.
- 30 @ 2160 /w the crusty, old, 980.
Jordan-
- 60 ferps @ UHD on the 1080ti. Although it better
Pedro-
- They put out a Patch on Friday which fixed the issues with not saving configs or progress.
- Yes, this game wouldn’t save progress when it was released.
- I didn’t have the issue with track painting just happening without having to hit A
Total-
Shiny / Sounds
Venn-
- If you ever wanted to know what would happen if Borderlands fuc*ed a flying car.
- Don’t know why but the soundtrack reminds me of SEGA Dreamcast.
- That, or the late 90’s in general.
- Each character has one or two lines that they repeat ad nauseum.
Jordan-
- I keep saying cell shading helps hide a lot of the flaws in a games visuals
- Soundtrack has wub
Pedro-
- I can, and – spoilers – will, leverage a lot of criticism at this game
- But the graphics look nice.
- Granted, they look nice if you’re just wooshing along.
- The moment you see any type of animation to or around your ship, that falls flat on its head.
- The sounds are also on par with generic racing game #26’543’739 the likes of which Steam is infested with.
Total-
Control
Venn-
- ZErO keyboard / gerbil support.
- Steam controller works OOTB and things respond accordingly.
Jordan-
- Played it with the blueteeth paired areola controlla
Pedro-
- Changing controller layout with Big Picture makes fuckin’ all difference.
- No rebindable controls
- No way to change it even by setting a different layout through Steam.
- No keyboard support
- Accelerate is R2(RT) and paint is A.
- For someone without fingers in his right hand, this game was a wrist pain inducing experience.
Total-
FUN
Venn-
- Single player has a few tracks (artificially inflated because they count mirrored and reversed as additional tracks) and some brain-dead AI.
- Multiplayer is literally nonexistent.
- I have cross-platform play enabled and will be leaving it in a lobby waiting on players until the prepre super showzen.
- Scratch that, the Steam conrolla times out after 15 minutes and you guessed it, nobody in the lobby, nada, not a single one.
- The primary game mechanic “painting the track” is still borked on my end and several others.
- It seems to be a rendering glitch causing the car to lay paint 24/7 but you can only get boost from the areas you have actually painted.
- Later in the game boost is required to win and good luck telling what is (and is not) real.
- No sense of speed and yeah, no speedo.
- Now for this last part IMA need you to listen to me hard as you can, K?
- You want $30 for this.
- Do you know what $30 is?
- Ten dollars more than fuc*ing Rocket League.
- That’s what is is Brad, and at the end of the day (take that shot) it’s all that matters.
- If / when you un-FK this game you might have a fun little derp around racer on your hands.
- Something that could fall comfortably in the $9.99 price bracket and build a decent community.
- Seriously whomever decided the pricing on this is incompetent or even worse, malicious.
Jordan-
- A far as racist games go, this one’s alright
- That’s really about all I can say
- Paint the ground, go zoom zoom, slam into walls
- The AI is dumb enough for me to beat it. Makes me feel smrt
- Way more dialogue than I expected for a racing game
- Makes me want to…Race through it
- Real trailblazing humor right there
Pedro-
- Playing this game caused me physical pain and forced me to consider that grippy mechanical claw thing that Tim mentioned in last week’s hatemail.
- I don’t think it would have helped much but maybe it wouldn’t have been such a slap in the face of people like myself, with less than ideal right hands, to have an option to rebind the fuckin’ keys.
- Remember when I wondered if it’d be to much to ask this game didn’t suck?
- Well, I think they may have been listening and decided to make it the worst possible game for me, specifically.
- Also, £30 isn’t the same as $30 US.
- What the fuck kind of pricing model is that?
