    Re: The "Random Thoughts" Thread

    NFS Shift is amazing. Though Spiked is right, the handling is a bit off, but not enough to throw you off the game. I can easily make some real-world comparisons, the EVO (ten) is well off it's abilities in the game, it turns poorly. Of course, I don't drive the thing at the speeds in the game, but the difference is significant.

    Plus don't use a damn keyboard, racing games are meant to be played on a wheel.
    BUT, the drift races are ANNOYING. Suddenly the steering is psychic and reads your mind and oversteers at any input you give.

    It's sad that the threw out their storyline based racers like Underground, then again, it isn't open world. A shame, because Underground 1 and 2 were awesome.

      I'm not quite willing to buy a racing wheel.

        I don't care. The wheel makes it easier to drive. Being in control of the throttle is always a big bonus.

        The handling in NFS is nowhere near close to as bad as you think or find it is.

          UT3 is pretty fun and I'm quite close to buying it, but there's still only a handful servers online and the game runs like crap even on lowest settings... nah I'll pass.

            Really? It runs like crap? I was running it on close to high settings just fine when I had my 8600gt...but I could be having memory problems

              This is on a local server with like 3 bots... runs the same if not worse in MP. :/ (note that it drops whenever there's an enemy in my face, not to mention the game demands some aim and reflexes)

              Gotta be a setting or something I've missed that screws everything up lol. Physx is off though.

                UT3 always worked wonderfully on my computer. Try turning on the slow motion mutator when you're shooting bots haha.

                    Has anyone noticed how Google always corrects the spelling of recursion, sending you on an infinite loop?

                        Ha, you play with a keyboard? That's stupid :p

                        Whilst I don't condone buying a wheel as they cost too much, take up too much space and when you're 20+ years old and have friends/girlfriend, they look pretty stupid.

                        Buy an xbox or PS3 style controller. I have a PS3 style one which I use for racing, Pro Evo and lots of other games!

                          UT3 ran brilliantly on my computer, pity Epic thought a Gears of War influence would be good (WRONG)

                          nice Engine, well for the most part, if you look closely its naff

                          pity they forgot how to make Unreal Tournament though, UT99 and 2K4 are still the best

                          and yer the game requires some immense reflexes and skills, quite a step up from TF2 :p

                            The lower end, non-forcefeedback wheels are pretty cheap. Less than 50$ or so.

                            Logitech G25 is by far the best.

                              I know... but I would still feel pretty sad at nearly 21 years old having a pretend steering wheel clamped to my desk...

                              Anyway, I have a Corsa and Punto to have fun in with regards to driving

                                Indeed, I use a cheap logitech one on PC, better than a keyboard.
                                I prefer it on PS3 though.

                                Has anyone else tried the PES 2010 demo yet, it is quite awesome.
