Great write up - nice and up front opinions about both cars.
The one thing that I can't now un-see regarding the Mk4's is the front appearance. It must be driven by aerodynamics, but it looks like the result of a very bad face-lift. If the car was human, it would look about 5 seconds after...
The FRP is lovely - but again, they didn't actually go to town with additional power on them. I'm sure @gally will say whether or not that extra performance would be needed overall though.
Yep - the Puma is a great shout. The Yahama derived 1.7 lump just loves to be thrashed and I agree with the steering and gearshift feel too.
My wife loved hers - she'd have another one tomorrow. Aside from the dreaded tin-worm (rear arches, especially) and a few starting issues, hers was a good...
Thanks for the Gold reminder. It's coming up for renewal again and I've not switched on my 360 in two years. Always nice to see you getting charged a membership fee when you don't use it!
Totally agree with the freebie games given out, though. When I did use the Xbox, some of the titles given...
Trouble is, most of their business model is based on trinkets, DLCs and other crap that you can buy. Similarly, I saw a coloured knife going for sale on CS:GO on Friday for £351. Worse - someone had previously bought one at a similar price. It's a knife. In a game. Get a grip.
As much as we all...
Leading on from that find yesterday, I had a quick browse of Atari Lynx stuff on ebay. I was surprised at how high the prices were for a quarter-of-a-century old console.
Still got mine - will have to dig it out at some point.
Lol - and they wonder why sales are poor!
Just why would you pay a sizeable chunk upfront for a car that you might actually detest? That is one big wing-and-a-prayer that they are asking their potential customers to go for.
If you want - forward it to me and I'll see if the password box appears?
I'm happy to save it in a different format if you send me the password - assuming it's not too confidential?
This looks like it has potential. Literally fired it up last night for a few minutes and instantly picked up on the SimCity vibe.
Looks very pwetty for such a traditionally bland looking subject matter.
Lol - no. Just f*ck off! :smile:
The amount of jihad-jeeps they had way back in BF2 was annoying enough! I would have thought EA/DICE would have sorted that by now.
Definitely can relate to this. Had a set of 15s on mine for about a week - just using them for daily commuting. Made a significant improvement to how the 182 'felt' to me. On track, I'd assume this difference is even more pronounced?
Yeah - I tend not to be an early adopter of EA stuff. I only got the Season Pass last Christmas as it was in a flash sale on cdkeys for about a tenner. Otherwise - no chance!
That can be an issue. However, the accuracy taken up with the mouse is sublime. Once you get your head around it, the slick and smooth operation of targeting with a mouse becomes second nature. Just in the same way that in driving games, a wheel is far more subtle and specific with steering...
Seems to be a bone of contention that. Personally, I love single player campaigns in FPSs - they are pretty much exclusively what I play on any of the COD games. Yet other players don't even fire them up and are purely focused on multiplayer only. I also have a liking for player vs bots options...
I think that's one of the things that really works for me in the existing game. I'm regularly around the 30% of kills through headshots alone - the fact that you're firing linear laser beams rather than shells that can randomly go anywhere - makes accuracy more, erm, .....accurate.
I pretty...
The sniping issue behind a rock is similar to the one I've had when firing from a parapet - the round is probably hitting the stonework a foot to the side of me, rather than the bloody enemy that I'm looking at down the sights.
Game loading times? Yep - even on a PC installed on an SSD - it...
