Why do kids these days dislike video games with cars or racing?
>>723600863>can't drive>new cars are expensive>modern cars are fucking shitI honestly can't blame them.
where's the fun in holding the W button.
>>723600964Racing isn't done with keyboards.
>dislikeThe numbers don't seem to suggest that.https://www.neogaf.com/threads/gran-turismo-7-is-now-the-franchises-highest-grossing-title-in-us.1680572/
>>723600863sorry bud by liking cars is part of the toxic masculity stuff and that makes you a nazi or something
All of them are open world now for some stupid fucking reason
Back then you could buy your own first car by just working a lot as a teenager, nowadays I think it's quite impossible to simply be into cars when you can't even own the real thing as an adult.
>>723600863>walking simulator but slightly faster>no combat Yaaaaaaawn
>>723601064>2 generations>much bigger market than previous consoles>best selling in the franchisewowMeanwhile the best selling PS1 game was Gran Turismo 1, and the 2nd and 3rd best selling PS2 games were Gran Turismo 3 and 4.
>>723601037that's blasphemy, unc. it's the same W gameplay on the controllor.
>>723600863RYAANNNN COOPAAAA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YmrwGkDKYQA
They probably dislike GT specifically because the franchise went to shit during the PS3 era and never recovered.
>all modern cars are boring, slow, plastic, jellybean-shaped mom-mobile crossovers that all look and drive the exact same>zoomers are stupid and scared of everything so they can't deal with being behind the wheel of a car so don't even bother getting a license>even used cars are way outside of most zoomers' price range unless they get an absolute shitbox that will cost more to keep running than the car would ever be worth.That's why
driving is for fags lmao i just get my tesla to drive me to the shops while i jerk off in the passengers seat
>>723601932this, ill drive when its legal to run people over.
Modern cars suck
>>723600863Its popularity was astroturfed in the 2000s by American media and facilitated by an abundance of cheap, easily modified imports. The economy sucks now so young men can't afford it anymore and politicians tried to make themselves look like tough guys by making examples of drivers of modified cars even if they weren't driving recklessly.
Grew up, wrong place, wrong time.
Emission requirements have turned every car into either your typical mid 2000s soccermom crossover or into a huge ass truck. They looked so different from each other 20 years ago.
>>723600863Racing on its own is very boring. Only fun when there are cool crashes.
>>723600863Kids are the entire playerbase of The CrewLike brother have you seen the custom shows? It’s all BIG WING + CHROME It’s horrific. Fun as hell with a rig though (outside of drifting, fairly certain this game played too often on a wheel will make you a worse driver)
>>723601862Modern cars are becoming so PEAK. Mark my words, the next decade will bring for the enthusiasts what the 00’s were
>>723604148Zoomers are too poor to be buying AMGs or M Power cars in any great numbers.
>>723600863>Why do kids these days dislike video games with racing?Huh?
r34 > r32 >>> r33
>>723603730This, its cool when whites and the rich die
>>723604403Do you do any actual racing or do you just watch?
>>723600863Kids these days don't like cars, it'd make sense that they wouldn't want to play video games purely about cars.
>>723604484do you have sex or do you just watch?
>>723604403At least post something that interest kids like Oguri Cap or New Era Opera/Tachyon.
>>723604531Ask your mom and then answer my question.
>>723600863Define 'kids'. Still plenty of hooning in my hometown with my mates
>>723604484anon, it's a mobile gacha kusoge. there's no gameplay
>>723600863zoomers can't drive, can't afford cars, and don't know the right direction to turn a ratchet to loosen a bolt.cars might as well be magic to them.
>>723604075I just vote for myself 7 times if there's an item up that I want, but some of my higher effort liveries actually got a couple of third party votes, like my Silencerz Centodieci and 919.
there just aren't any cool affordable cars anymore, they're all either the same absurdly expensive gay teletubbie wageslave transportation pod these days or the gay neon-colored batmobile supercars, car culture has died and with it racing games
I have a car but idk I don't really like driving because I only use it to go to work and pick up my parents. It's just a tool to me.
>>723605392drive over some niggas if u want some fun lmao
too much gameplay and punishing mistakes
>>723605392drive anything that's lightweight with over 200HP at least and things will click.if all you've ever driven in your life is a toyota corolla or equivalent, I wouldn't blame you, which is unfortunately the majority of people.
>>723600863they were raised by a media that is anti car and anti private property ownership
>>723605952>drive anything that's lightweight with over 200HP at least and things will click.like what
>>723606319Don't listen to him, just get a Miata.
>>723600863I prefer walkable cities, bike lanes, and robust public transportation infrastructure.
>>723606624Not going to happen when the same people that wanted that want to shove trillions of non-citizens and basketball players in the same area.
>>723606319In general, there's a bunch of lightweight hot hatches are around 200 hp. fiesta sts, golf gtrs, neon srts, mazdaspeeds, subie wrxes. those aren't too expensive these days.you can still have fun with less power, but good power to weight, which is why miatas get recommended so much, and why gt86/brz are considered fun cars, even if they're a bit underpowered.
>>723605952don't listen to this guy, anyone that really loves cars will have as much fun with a shitbox kei car as they will with a supercar. driving is either fun for you or it isn't.
>>723606319FR-S. Retards will think that Scion is a luxury brand.
>these daysfinding enjoyment by driving in circles was always pretty niche
>>723606873>>723606494you don't get converted until you get a shot of adrenaline from your first pull.if he buys a miata and drives it like a corolla, he's not going to learn shit.
>>723604610in the city it's mostly fresh off the boat immigrants who are clueless about the severe penalties for hooning, but out in the sticks it's white bogans thrashing old falcons and commodores, not even racing just donuts and burnouts.
>>723606906not all racing games are nascar, Cletus
>>723600863Because most kids these days are too scared to learn how to drive and their parents can't afford to buy them a shitty used starter car anyway.
>>723606319Imo what made it fun was going manual.
>>723606987Is 2000 dollar for a beater car/van/suv too much to ask?
>>723607078one step at a time. telling someone to learn manual is a pretty big ask these days. better to give them a reason first.
>>723607078how difficult is it to learn manual by just winging it? my family had an old ford escort that was manual, but by the time I started driving it was out of commission
>>723601440>controller
>>723607143after cash for clunkers where are you finding $2k beaters?
>>723607287Not at all with enough practice. The hardest thing is understanding how to balance gas and clutch usage without stalling, also downshifting. From there it's smooth sailing.
>>723607156If you have a driver's license, you should already know how to drive a manual. Or do Americans not do that?
>>723607287if you generally understand why you're pushing in the clutch what it actually does, how bite points work, and how it interacts with the transmission and shifting, you'll catch on quick. It's just about building muscle memory at that point.You'll DEFINITELY stall the first dozen times you drive, but everyone does, and it eventually becomes natural.
>>723607506American can just get the license without knowing how to drive a stick.
>>723607506I have bad news for you, eurobro...
>>723600863sound tech not only stagnated, it got worse and all the big studios making racing games are created by bus taking virgin devs who only know how to make 3d models
>Nascar is bori-
>>723607658instructions unclear, too many right turns
>>723600863I'm flabbergasted this game is gassed up to be a great game but it is such dog shit compared to MC2 and MC3R. The handling is the worst it has ever been, so is the camera, so is the frame rate, and the car list, and the cities, and the music, and the list of customization parts. WHO the fuck thought this was a good game?
>>723607658Is that supposed to be impressive burgerfat?
>>723607807this looks like the level designer collected his stool samples over the course of a week and then joined all together
>>723606987I don't know what insurance rates are like for kids these days, but I don't envy them.They were already bad when I was growing up, and I only imagine them getting worse.
>>723607807>no 90 degree turns>no narrow lanes with buildings left and right punishing any mistakes extremely hard>no furious straightaways for risk/reward acceleration Let me show you what a REAL racetrack looks like.
>>723600863>Why do kids these days dislike video games with cars or racing?Because the games are fucking dog shit.
>>723600863>gen z >brainwash "cars kill the planet" >wonder why they don't care about racing games
>>723608317Cars are bad for the planet though you stupid nigger
Zoomers are a completly cuckold Ed generation that can't fathom actually having enjoyment. Unlike millenials that chase enjoyment by any means, or Gen X that just fall into nihilism, zoomers are a completly compliant race. The silent generation 2.0, but without the war needed to get them honor
>>723607958Probably horrible, but the used car market has definitely priced most people out of buying their teenager a car. When I turned 18, my dad bought me a 6 year old Ford for around $4000-$5000, and it lasted me 12 years before finally crapping out. Nowadays for a 6-7 year old used car, you're looking ar $12,000 minimum, and I doubt anything manufactured these days last nearly as long as my old Taurus did.
>>723608353your existence is worse and much more harmful for the planet, uninstall yourself for one season of formula v10
>>723608353Reported for being underage. 4chan is an 18+ site
>>723608014I GOT SOUL
getting good at real racing games is just alot of trial and error and people don't have the patience for it. kart racers are more straightforward and less punishing so they get all the success
>>723608014How is this track remotely viable?
>>723608353Yeah yeah, kiddo, cars destroy the planet and guns kill people.Go back to Fortnite and come back when you’re 18+.
It's all California and new York. They ruined car culture
>>723600952The only reasonably good/fun modern cars for a decent price are the BRZ/GR86 and the Miata ND, it's pretty grim. Widespread car culture died in the 00s for various reasons
>>723608783It's neo 80's/early 90's where there are alot of cool cars that are price locked for the average person who can buy at the time. In 5-10 years there will be another boom period for car culture as the 2000's cars become cheap
Why would real life reasons for zoomers not driving cars make them not play video games? What does real life have to do with video games?
>>723610387Because if they don't have any experience or access to car culture irl, they probably won't become interested in it in video games.
>>723608353disliking racing because cars are harmful is like disliking ping pong because ball and racket manufacturing is pollutingeverything we do leaves a mark on our planet, whether you consider it good, bad or otherwise
>>723600863boomers destroyed car industry and culture
>>723610387Normies chase what is cool and what is cool is dictated be pop culture. One of the only reasons street racing and car modifications broke its niche containment was the Fast & Furious franchise.
>>723601862You know what?Volvo's actually looks pretty good.
>>723610625Video games are fantasyIf they don't have experience in real life wouldn't it all the more reason make you seek it in games?
>>723611319Didn't F1 just come out and was a smashing hit?
I have bad car control trauma from too many games that have forced racing sections with the worst vehicle controls in gaming
>>723608353>cars le bad>proceeds to shitpost on 4chan on a power grid likely ran on nat gas inside his air conditioned/heated homeif you're not one of those off grid types who hunts and recycles their own piss you are a fucking hypocrite
>>723606873thisnormalfags stay out of racing games simply because they suck at them.driving well and knowing how to tweak and tune a car's setup takes a certain autistic dedication, and being a consistent and fast driver takes additional autism on top of that. the average "gaymer" has no patience for slow burn, completely tactical gameplay where the only reason you lost is because you simply weren't good enough.
>>723612896nobody gives 2 shits about those snobs>>723613169it would be way more approachable if there were in game tutorials for making your own setups
>>723612896f1 games are astroturfed to hell because the FIA is owned by the saudis, nobody actually plays that shovelware with any seriousness. note how nascar games are mostly unpopular except for the ancient Papyrus sims that form the basis of iRacing's physics engine.if you are actually into open wheel racing you are playing some rfactor variant, iracing, or assetto corsa, not yearly release slop.
>>723613169>where the only reason you lost is because you simply weren't good enoughneed I remind you of the rubberbanding from 2000s games
>>723612896It's the racing equivalent of FIFA, doesn't count
>>723613456and i will remind you again to get good, using rubber banding as an excuse is pussy shit, especially when no simulator does it and only a few purely quartermunching arcade games do.in my experience playing thousands of racing games of every genre, the ai isn't actually rubberbanding most of the time, you are just slow in a section and don't immediately understand why.
>>723606987>Because most kids these days are too scared to learn how to driveI don't see how this can be possible. At least in the US, you can't do anything at all without driving unless you live in NYC. Zoomers can't all live there.Driving in real life kind of sucks though I admit, it's the killer combination of being very easy and boring while having very bad consequences if you slip up. What fun you can get out of it is ruined by too much traffic if you live in a populated area.
>>723613628alright verstappen sorry I didn't realise your credentials on the matter, I'm obviously talking about comically implausible slingshots out of nowhere but go ahead and keep telling me how good you are.
>>723612845It needs to be an experience they want first.
>>723613314>it would be way more approachable if there were in game tutorials for making your own setupsthere is a practice mode in nearly every game where you can figure out what it all means, if you need additional tutorials you can just look up what things do on an irl car, the games can't hold your hand with this because it's mostly down to personal preference. a setup won't make your car actually go faster by itself usually, it's used for making the car comply to the way you personally drive, so a tutorial will do no good. you have to know what you want out of it first, which may be different things for different people.
>>723613873>I'm obviously talking about comically implausible slingshots out of nowherei've literally never played a game where this was unmitigable in some way, even when there is actual unashamed rubberbanding or blatant ai cheating like in the new TXR or F-Zero GX. aerodynamic slipstreaming and slingshot passes are in fact physical elements of real life racing and it's entirely up to you to make it difficult for the ai or another player to take advantage of this.
>>723613814all the doomers are just astroturfing browns which is why they always say the same shit in every racing games thread. don't fall for demoralization campaigns. racing games don't have broad appeal because they are more physically and mentally demanding than character action games, that's literally all there is to it.
>>723614137I HAVE PLAYED A RACING GAME BEFORE, I KNOW WHAT SLIPSTREAMING ISit's just a meme stop going all reddit on me I don't care
>>723613924>if you need additional tutorials you can just look up what things do on an irl car,if that were the case GT wouyldnt bother with license tests. Id say learning how to make a good setup is just as important as the driving techniques they teach in those>the games can't hold your hand with this because it's mostly down to personal preference.no it's not. they dont even cover basic shit like natural frequency >a setup won't make your car actually go faster by itself usuallyyes but a properly set car makes all the difference
>>723612896Literally who?
>>723614356look man it's like dark soulsnobody ever complains that the games are bullshit difficult, they just overcome it and get gudif you can't do that or don't want to that's fine but don't blame the stuff that keeps the ai competitive with a real human bean.
>>723614383>if that were the case GT wouyldnt bother with license tests.GT's license tests are just filler and teach absolutely nothing about motorsport. if you needed a video game to teach you basic visual trigonometry then you're never gonna make it anyway
>>723614527Not him but NFSU 1/2 has bullshit rubberbanding. Its not fun to build a perfectly spec car only for this shit to happen.
>>723614383>no it's not. they dont even cover basic shit like natural frequencythis isn't important because you are a driver and not an engineer, the car is already built and the appropriate range spring rates are selected for you.now if you are making a car mod for an existing video game this is indeed important but that's beyond the scope of most gamers
>>723614639that is a bug caused by running the game on systems much faster and at much higher framerates than it was ever intended to be played on, this rarely occurred in actual gameplay back when it was new, and no other game does this as bad. the solution of course is to stop playing EA shovelware slop but you don't want to hear that i'm sure
So what car do you guys drive? I have an Alfa 156 with the 1.6 Twin spark engine. Beautiful car, decent handling, not a lot of power.
>>723614701good luck trying to make ANY racecar work as it should. the standard setups are shit, that's why the fully customizable suspension is default for them>>723614587I bet you didnt even read the damn text that goes with them and when you hear "weight transfer" a fat fuck getting off their scooter is the first thing that comes to mind
>>723615607i didn't bother reading any of the text that went with them, no, because if you weren't a faggot zoomer that had played gt2 on release day you would have remembered the sizable supplementary driver's manual that came with the game that explained literally everything you needed to know without touching a single idiotic "license test"the license tests are filler. without them you can beat every race in gt2 in a couple hours with the starter and prize cars. it's really not a difficult game at all.
>>723600863they suck without a wheel
>>723617146thisgamepad babbies need not apply
>>723614639>Finish race anyway>Check stats>Opponent was going over 600+ MPH with the rubberbandingSeriously rubberbanding AI sucks ass. Developers are too lazy to make proper AI in racing games which why we always have rubberbanding AI in racing games.
>>723614925That's a classic and explains why I've never seen that bug before.I'm not retarded enough to insist that my games run at 300 FPS on my 60 hz monitor.
>>723617419every race would be a blowout without rubber banding. i remember playing nfs shift 1v1s and there were very few close races. just do time trials bro
>>723608353>he felt for the kike propagandaWhat a fucking retard lmao
>>723605952A Corolla would be a huge improvement for most people actually.>>723613169Overdose and die kita
>>723617690stop seething at me and get good you fucking scrub
>>723601037yeah, you steer with the wheel
>>723600863I'm bad at them.
>>723608946And that will be the end times of cars as hobby because the rest of good cars will be completely broken or used for scrap, because almost everything made past 2007 is shit, and because it's even worse if you look at cars made past 2012.
>>723601862It's not zoomer fault that world's economy is fucked, you faggot. Young adults can't even afford most basic shit most of the time.
>>723600863Yikes! It's not 2006 anymore, chuddie. We've learned to embrace public transportation and walkable cities now. Just ignore the mentally ill black man shoving that 7" combat knife into your throat and you'll be good, okay sweetie pie?
>>723600863>$5 DLC for literally every car>no career mode effort anymore at all just online faggot bullshitI just want to put a turbo in an old skyline and flog around laguna seca again
It evolved into simcades like Forza or actual simulators.
>>723601862The crossover and it's consequences has been a disaster for the automobile industry.We're too late, nobody stood up for the humble station wagon or sedan when it mattered...thanks boomers.
>>723614335How TXR 25 by the way?
I really want to get into GT7 since it's one of the only modern racing games that isn't open world slop.It's still expensive though.
>>723600863>1980s>the price of a used, race-worthy car was 300 bucks and a charismatic attitude plus a couple grand over a year or so to fix 'er back up>2010s>kids can barely afford to move out of their parents place, much less a home and garage to fix something>WhAt HapPuN tO cAr cUlTUrE?????????op confirmed braindead
>>723619981It's not car culture thoughIt's racing video gamesThey're pretty much separated
>>723600863Cars are dead in 2025, cool cars will be an ancient relic in our lifetime. It's crossover hell from here until we die.Dodge doesn't even make the Challenger anymore(EV fag shit doesn't count), Chevy doesn't make the Camaro anymore, and Toyota hasn't out anything cool besides the new Supra thats half German.It's over. Gen alpha will have self driving cuckpods, and nobody will be allowed to actually drive anymore eventually.
>>723600863Because devs think that someone constatly talking to you while you are driving is fun.Just shut the fuck up I want to listen to engine.
>>723601862ngl I recently saw this suv-whatever Lexus and had to look again because I thought it's just some lame Hyundai. it's all so same and boring
>>723620031what do you think INSPIRES devs to make good racing games? why would anyone give a shit about racing games if no one gives a shit about racing anymore? culture drives media and you are retarded.
>>723620182I think it's because there's less car culture that the games will thriveCan't have nice sports car in real life so people turn to gamesIsn't that obvious logic?
>>723620175There's retards that buy Lamborghini crossovers, they look identical to normal traffic slop cars
>>723601862This is what happens when you let women dictate purchasing decisions.
>>723620219>buying overpriced slop cars is the same as being interested in racingconsoomer moment
>>723620264Sorry chuddie, I want to feel safe when taking Brayden, Aiden, Jaiden, and Bryliee to soccer practice.Thats just impossible in a traditional station wagon for some reason, we need to make every car a giant fat lifted hatchback so I feel safe.
>>723600863I can literally just buy a car and drive it. Same with sportsball simulators, I can't understand why so many people need them when you can just go outside and play sportsball.Video games should be simulations of something that can't be just acquired like that IRL (like for example FPS that doesn't end when you die), because otherwise what's the point?
>>723606987Sports cars are out of the question for young people but I don't see how beaters are too. Although they are pretty expensive too (my 10 year old car cost 5000€). But you can get around with them and mine has a slightly sporty suspension so it can take corners nicely for a low power hatchback>>723608353Tie a rope to your pencil neck faggot
>>723601862why did sedans die out anyway
>>723605952And manual.I never gave a FUCK about driving until I drove manual, its like a video game with actually engaging video game mechanics.
>>723601862Do you realize that this shape is a result of solved aerodynamic optimization problems retardo? They all have to traverse the same atmosphere.At least complain about something meaningful, like every car nowadays coming with a proprietary black box computer inside it that an owner can't fully control.
>>723620416You can't just buy one and then drive twice the speed limit blasting by other cars.
>>723620416you cant buy a mclaren and drive it you lying fucking nigger. and you cant go max speed around a race track and wreck it every 4 minutes.
>>723600952Buy an old car.My car is 23 years old, daily drive it, no problems. Redlines no problems to this day. Just don't buy a hunk of shit, its that easy.
>>723614701If you're not tuning your car you haven't actually gotten good at the game. In real life the engineers do it but we don't have the privilege. Only by being consistent with your driving can you learn to set up a car effectively so you can perceive the tiny handling variations. In arcade games it's not important but the better sim you have the more important it becomes. It won't make you into a good driver but a good driver can become great from it.
>>723620509It isn't. It's about safety rules and the price of petrol. Pop up headlights for example were banned for the safety of pedestrians and I bet some manufacturers would still use them because they look cool as hell, even though they provide some drag.
>>723601862When you ask a modern child to "draw a car" they'll probably draw one of these. Sad
>>723620628forza is more fun than that rpg 'tism anyway
>>723607764if you like the gameplay of mc2/mc3r more, you should try the PSP version. doesnt change the car list or music though but it plays identically to the previous 2 games on mc2's LA map + tokyo
>>723619792It's good if you like mindless arcade fun.
>>723620494I regret selling my 1992 Miata everyday, the manual transmission was so smooth and satisfying...Back then I was an early 20s miserable alcoholic stoner loser, but I got pure genuine joy driving that little fucker hard as hell ripping through the gears on my to various shitty entry level jobs I'd hop between every 4-6 months.Cars have zero soul anymore, they're consumer products like a microwave.
>>723600863Zoomers are anti-racist
>>723620753on my way to*I still drink a bit
>>723620732Even in forza you can improve with a good setup, whether it's horizon or motorsport. But I hate the handling in horizon, rwd lose traction for no reason at all so the meta is awd swapping which isn't fun. GT7 unfortunately also has GT3 autism in the multiplayer but I like the handling more. Unfortunately they won't let you set up because otherwise the babbies would complain
>>723620494some real shit. got a used s-10 with a manual tranny and while its no racing platform, its just... a better experience. soccer moms and zoomers will never get it
>>723606873pretty much this, I drive the most common poorfag car in my country (skoda octavia diesel) and I still enjoy it. it can do normal family driving and it can be pushed to surprising speeds
>>723620601>Buy an old carWhat old cars? Boomers scrapped them all because of that stupid cars for clunkers scheme that got pushed everywhere. Unless you live in the middle of nowhere most cars are going to be at best post 2007
>>723601812GT7 is very good, the best game Sony made this gen but it’s not a zoomer game
>>723600863BACK ON DA ROCKS BACK ON DA ROCKS, BABYhttps://youtu.be/y88M1eaM538?si=7QpUxpv1NmFJw6loMost kino shit in initial D
>>723600863We need to go back in time when Audi Quattro was a thing.
>>723601862my dad wants to buy me a car since I'm getting a license soon and everything he's shown me looks like this, it's so ugly. he won't get me an older car even though they're cheaper because reasons
>>723621647If I was you I'd try to convince him on a single cab manual pickup truck, you could use it to do side jobs for cash, and it's much less faggy and more fun than a crossover.Just my 2 cents
>>723622252This depends on if you enjoy manual too, but this is an autistic leaning site so you probably will.
>>723600863Because cars are boring.
>>723621123I don't think they really scrapped that many.My country never had that though. Early 2000s sports cars that AREN'T the famous ones that cost 100k for no reason.
>2002>user car from 1992>200 Euro>2025>used car from 2015>4999 Eurowhy?
>>723622481* are a good deal
>>723600964>said the guy playing games about clicking on heads
>>723600863I failed my driving test twice and I feel horrible I will never manage to drive a car
>>723622698Try 9 times. I applied for courses and after 4 years of learning, I still failed the license test 9 times. After that I gave up entirely and don't even talk to my parents about it.
>>723601862Jesus, it's the slop of car design.
>>723622698I failed my test 7 times before succeeding on a manual carNot american btw
>>723622698>>723622759What the fuck? I learned to drive from a truck with a manual transmission and just reading the state's licensing study guide. Oh, and being told the best way to get into a parallel parking spot is to reverse into the spot.
>>723622698I failed 4 times.My parents just didn't really teach me any road rules and I never cared enough to pay attention before I started driving myself.I drive just fine now though.
>>723623498I never really got to learn to drive properly because our family car would always be on brink of breaking down and because we live in a fucking forest. The only real way for me to practice would be going to city once or twice a week.I fucking hate my parents for dragging me out to bumfuck nowhere where nothing ever really happens.
>>723601037>spend $1000 for a wheel and pedals just so you can hold the gas pedal (same exact functionality as holding the trigger on a controller) for 5 minutes until you winWhere's the fun
>>723600863Because internet glaze too much on nerds youtubers and streamers, and zoomers spend tons of time online and dont touch enough grass.Being cool is about banging bitches and driving fast cars, not owning a collection of pokemon cards. A child's dream should be becoming a football player or an astronaut, not a fucking youtuber who plays videogames for a living.Besides this, considering the surge in driving simulators and car games in the last years, i think more and more people are getting into it. Bonus points since the game rotates about driving and it's not an RPG with story and characters, no reason to worry about DEI stuff + very few women get involved.
kids aren't paying for those games. They're likely playing some clone of gta or some janky drifting sim on roblox of the ones who like car games. Them being priced out of enthusiasts cars irl might contribute to it as well
>>723622759I did both the written test and driving test in one go. Is it harder where you live ?
>>723600863Most of them don't even have a license, anon. Did you ever wonder why there's this huge trend of people taking their little Tiktok videos orwhatever in their cars? Because it's a status symbol now. Because none of these people have fucking cars and licenses. They think they're unique, rich snowflakes for having an '88 Honda Civic Hatchback and a license. Because, comparatively, in current year, they are. So of course, they don't get into car games since it's foreign territory to them.
cars aren't fun anymore
>>723624159Most of them don't shoot guns, kill people, fish or farm either. Just for example.
One of my nephews actually likes cars but he only like gay arab supercars that he obviously sees on his youtube short slop. Always talking about "Bugatti" and he says it in an american accent too.
>>723624159There's not much draw to get a licence when you don't need it to go out and have fun with your friends.
>>723623498It's 1000 times easier to get a drivers license in USA
>>723600863What's a modern car you actually like? For me it's the GR Yaris
>>723600952FPBP cars are way too expensive most zoomers can barely afford them, why fantasize about something you cannot indulge in
>>723620461>but I don't see how beaters are tooInsurance and scarcity since most of them got scrapped years ago and the fact the used car market is completely fucked.
Racing games are walking sims but on wheels.
>>723624146It is because I get no practice. I know theory very well, but I suck at applying everything to practice because I don't get to practice irl at all.
>>723600952>can't drive>new cars are expensiveI can't fly WW2 planes and I still play games with them
>>723620509crossovers and SUVs are are purses on wheels, bought and driven exclusively by women and manlets. Which one are you?
>>723607764Skill issue lol. MCLA is peak
>>723624385Honda Civic Type RVolvo XC90
>>723620416>I can just buy a gun and shoot it>I can just buy a sword and swing itRetard
>>723622698My driving instructor was based and we drove the test route several times so I passed it on first try.
Racing games are designed for carfags, not gamers. Make a racing game that isn't for carfags and I'll play it.
>>723600863because modern racing games are boring track sim slop >top speed is a sluggish 30 mph > no sense of speed what so ever >forced corning very 3 seconds>have to slow down to 5 mph entering every corner >no drift allowedwhy even bother
>>723600952>modern cars are fucking shithow?both commercial and sports?
>>723601862I hate SUVs with all my fibre of being
>>723625163Why are the games so slow?
>>723624956Star Wars episode 1 racer was very fast and fun
>>723600863Driving sims completely lose all appeal when you have your own vehicle and begin to associate it with unpleasant responsibilities like work.
>>723600952I was the opposite as a kid. I wasn't old enough to drive or afford a shitbox so I played racing vidya instead
>>723625404I dont knowthe tachometers say 200 kph in game but it feels so slow
Not into racing. Bought a wheel and pedals so I can drink and drive safely.
Buying cars doesn't even make sense in a modern city. Just use carshare, you'll save money and you won't have to look after a car
>>723624385Pic, but as far as cars you can actually get, I think the nu supra and 400z look ok but neither really grip me.
>>723625404>>723625754field of view and camera effects
>>723624628A lot of guys now think they need an SUV to have a family for some reason (marketing)
>>723622507I remember seeing a 2011 honda fit with like 200k km selling for like $10k a few years ago. It was that bad.Dunno if it got any better though
I enjoyed Car Mechanic 2021 but after unlocking everything in the workshop and fixing my own car from some abandoned shit I found in the graveyard I felt like I was done with the game.
>>723626958Truck Simulator is genuinely comfy
>>723600863Because driving is only cool when you're a kid, once you get a car, you realize how fucking annoying it is
