Hooligan_DCS: The controls in PC version are even more worse than on Porsche Unleashed, which I find has the most ridiculous controls ever.
Hey! Porsche Unleashed is the best arcade racer ever, and that's a real compliment coming from a NASCAR Racing 2003 freak! Especially since I found a hack to get it running perfectly under Win2K and have been playing it non-stop all week. ;-)
Every other NFS title is crap.
[XBox anything...]
My big beef with XBox is that the most titles I've seen don't really take full advantage of the hardware. Even though XBox had a hard drive, for example, games seem to load much, much slower than they do on the PS2. Also, as harsh as I am on PS2 for reliability, XBox takes the cake for breakdowns. I've almost never seen a working one in stores, and I've seen the green screen of death way too often ("Your XBox requires service"...)
Jeffimix: Yeah, but console games were 50$ in the 90s too as I recall. atleast Pc games sure were. Don't know about 80s but there was more competition back then, 30$s I think...
When Playstation was released, I was hard pressed to find any games less than $70. It wasn't until a year after I bought mine (in my area) before prices started to fall. Needless to say, my Playstation collection was very small for a while.
Meanwhile, most PC and Amiga titles I bought in the late 80's/early 90's were about $35. Adjusted for inflation, game prices have "fallen" quite a bit. It was a real shock to see "Red Baron" selling for $80 in the late 80's, but other than that, I've never thought that games were too expensive.
