Desert Bus VR

Desert Bus VR

If you are lucky, this might be the worst game you will ever play.

–-

What does that even mean? Let me explain:

There’s good games. There’s bad games. There’s interactive art pieces that use game mechanics. There’s barely interactive media that present themselves as games. There’s training simulators that are set up like games but aren’t intended to be games. There’s… how many of these would you like me to list? Want to talk about interactive movies? What about visual novels? What about… oh, was I wasting your time? Did you want me to make a point about Desert Bus? Hang on, I wasn’t done rambling…

That’s a great game.

In fact, I realized that it can substitute my sleep time.

For the last month, more or less, I spend my former sleep hours driving this bus and I felt very well the next day.

The only side effect is that sometimes when I’m walking distractedly I tend to slowly drift leftways. No big deal.

UPDATE:

So… Strange things started to happen as I slowly began to expand my daily driving time.

Now I’m nearly driving 16 hours a day and sometimes I have some really weird and vivid dreams.

Flatout 3: Chaos & Destruction

Flatout 3: Chaos & Destruction

DON’T BUY if you expect Flatout!

I played Flatout: Ultimate Carnage and Flatout 2 a lot and some day I saw Flatout 3 on sale for around 5 $. Totally blinded by the awesomeness of the previous Flatout games by Bugbear I ran into this trap without checking what I was actually buying…

After playing maybe like 30 minutes I was really disappointed since I expected something like a worthy successor for Ultimate Carnage which Flatout 3 clearly is NOT. I uninstalled the game and considered this my worst game investment ever.

(Game was gifted to me by a friend, hence why I’m tagging it as having received the game for free.)

Having the (dis)honour of being one of few items on the Steam storefront to hold an “Overwhelmingly Negative” review score among Steam users, FlatOut 3: Chaos & Destruction is an absolute travesty of a FlatOut game, if not of a video game in general. One does not even need previous experience with the preceding titles in the series; even outside of comparisons to its vastly superior predecessors, FlatOut 3 falls flatout on its face.

I love this stuff. This is a strange cosmic trippy VR experience that makes you feel weird and I like it. A masterpiece of the art form. Thanks for the free experience.

Horror Drift (ホラードリフト)

Horror Drift (ホラードリフト)

Ever wanted to deliver tofu while drifting on japanese touge runs? Great, because this is your chance, only problem is that the tracks you were assigned to are a little…haunted. Try not to get discouaged by the sinister presences and complete your run to earn your fame into this haunted drift world!

An arcade racing game with a horror heart: drive through the best japanese scenery and touge tracks and show what you are capable of, but be aware of the dangers that lure in the dark. You can go for the points by drifting your tires out, or go for speed and best time, driving as fast as you can. Be careful though: on the tracks, numerous evil entities are trying to slow you down and make you crash. Will you be able to avoid them all and cross the finish line? Every drift you make, every corner you cross, will make you closer to unlocking new tracks and new cars, with an ever growing chioce that will be kept updated and renewed even after launch. But behind every corner lies a possible danger that may completely wipe all your progress, randomly generated for your (un)pleasure. Be fast, be smart, don’t get scared.

FlatOut 4: Total Insanity

FlatOut 4: Total Insanity

Right at the start, I will say I like this game, however there are many things which upset me and things that could’ve been done better or differently:

1. Cars have horrible handling and physics.

Even the slightest bumps can make the car flip, spin or shoot into the air. So this makes the driving experience far from smooth and enjoyable, because I have to think how I go over the smallest bumps. It takes away that satisfying feeling of ramming through everything that breaks. And this is with all cars. It doesn’t matter if you drive a sports car or a huge truck, both can flip easily. And I don’t like this…

I have been waiting out for this game, because it had received (when looking at the Steam reviews) a bunch of backlash ranging from inept game mechanics, poor optimisation and bugs.

Now yesterday we wanted to play Flat Out 2, our number 1 party game on the lan party we are at and found the current networking setup do not support the features needed for lan play and because Game Spy is dead for a long time, there is no way here for us to play it.

I was pleasantly surprised to see Flat Out 4 (or Fl4t Out as they try to brand it) costs only a ~11 euro. So I dived in, and was pleasantly surprised.

Snakeybus

Snakeybus

It’s Snake in 3D. No, I promise it’s very entertaining!

Gameplay

So there’s not much to really say. It’s snake in 3D, but you drive an infinitely-extending accordion bus. You have a jump button to help with the 3D, you unlock more bus types, you unlock more levels. It takes a while to understand the mechanics, but once you understand the mechanics, you start trying to get the highest records of Steam and ask yourself How the hell did people get 900 bus length?

I Want To Walk To Work In A Snakeybus

For me, ‘simple with great execution’ trumps ‘ambitious with poor execution’ every time. That every review and preview starts to blur into one amorphous mass is a testament to how true this really is for Snakeybus. You can only reiterate ‘Crazy Taxi meets Snake’ in so many ways.

Here’s my stab at it. Taking control of an articulated bus you deliver passengers to destinations - so far so normal. The twists in the tale are, one, that the bus doesn’t ever stop (thankfully passengers can embark/disembark in an ethereal manner, lest you be driving a bus in name only!) and, most importantly, two, passengers delivered add sections that extend your bus. Snake was always genius, but there’s something about its translation to 3D space here that feels yet more so.

I felt that this game was lacking lots of material for the game. The game crashed a few times for me. Then once I did manage to play the camera would go wonkey half of the time. The gameplay wasn’t great and no instructions on what to do or how to play.

Very nice and relaxing driving game even though it’s on the older side of things. Better to play if you have a steering wheel/controller.

I was initially impressed by this game but the lack of the ability to have UK road rules and signs is disappointing. I also cannot pass the road test for the life of me. Constantly fail because speed limit says 60 but fails me when i go over 50kmph, and cant get past the second roundabout due to driving on “forbidden lanes” when exiting. I have since seen youtube videos where the drivers do EXACTLY WHAT I AM DOING and manage to get past the roundabout. 0/10 until i can actually progress through the game and some decent content is added. To add insult to injury i must’ve bought it for 20 quid 2 days before it went on sale and now its only 2.

This game takes me back to Indy 500 for the Atari 2600. It was so simple, yet whenever there’s competition, there’s interest. The trick is to run the race as efficiently as you can. It requires some experience, some experimentation, and some mental toughness to do it well.

I haven’t played this long, but I love that I can spend 10-15 minutes on this when I’m bored. Depending on how tough the competition is, I might spend more, or less. It’s perfect for people who don’t have a lot of time throughout the day to play a game.

Fun keyboard racer

Lots of car variations and unlimited player made tracks.

You start out with a bit of coin and two cars. You can use your coins to purchase other cars and/or variations of each one. There are also several tire choices for the variable track conditions to spend your coin on.

You earn more coins buy simpy turning laps, but you earn more when setting fast laps. So if you are within a certain percentage of the top time for the day, you are rewarded with coin. This is all sorted and tracked via the easy to use, in-game leader board. That said, earning coin is a bit of a grind at the beginning…not overbearing, but it pays to make smart purchases…you don’t want to be short on cash when in need of some rain tires. :)
