Story mode / Infinite lives / invincibility modes.

Difficulty should not be a barrier for entry. I like how Insomniac games like Ratchet and Clank, and to a lesser extent Spiderman, offer a really easy mode for those who just want to blast away or swing around New York.

Lol, find me a tattoo artist that takes credit card and they can have my skin, twice.

Probs low hanging fruit for this thread, but vinyl collecting.

Started around 2011 by going to charity shops and second hand stores to find bargains. I used to be able to spend £10 a week and get 3/4 new (to me) records. Some were great ,some were trash, but that was the fun!

Then I started getting specific records, building towards band discographies... next thing I know, I'm dropping £25 per record for two bootleg records that were definitely not worth the price. Was a watershed moment and one that made me take a step back.

Ticked over for a year or two, next thing I know vinyl records are now in Asda, Tesco and Sainsbury's. Every new release comes on vinyl, and they're now £25+. Charity shops are now just full of junk vinyl, and all the second hand stores now charge £25+ because their pressings are "original"... all the fun is now gone.

Eternity is on f-droid, if you add the izzydroid repo.

Imagine Linus a few weeks ago saying "I'm not paying $500 bucks in staffers to retest this shitty product", to now having to defend some serious abuse allegations.

Wild.

Time for Linus to [sic] "put on his big boy pants" and lawyer up.

If now was a time to bring in a full time CEO and relegate Linus into "creative director", or whatever title he wants to give himself, now is that time.

GN has simply pulled back the curtain to show another corporation who put their bottom line before their viewers. And his response only shows this even further.

Truly disappointed by the whole debacle.

I'm going to borrow things "to try" from my friends house, say they sucked, and then sell them on eBay.

I'll just say I auctioned them.

GOT EM.

How would the world feel about a ridge Racer, RR revolution, rage racer and RR type 4 remaster/reboot? The same game mechanics, menus, modes etc, just with a modern gaming engine and graphics.

As Linus said, think of it like watching a Top Gear/VIN Wiki video about a super car. I just want to see it at its best, and going fast.

Yeah, talk about some downsides but recognise this isn't a product for everyone. His attitude of "don't buy it at all" was really bad faith.

The communication re: the auction of the billet product appears to be a genuine fuck up, and LMG needs to do as much as it can to own that.

The review, and subsequent doubling down on WAN of [sic] "do not buy this product" , however, is down right negligent. Billet are a start up and every review or demo of their product is absolutely critical to their success. To say "we want you to eat" is borderline offensive. LMG must recognise the majority who watch LTT are often casual and will forever just remember "Linus said no" and not question it further.

While I commend the attitude of not being drawn into an online pissing contest with GN, I think the least they could do is remove the video, retest and evaluate, and offer a sincere apology for the previous efforts.

Everything else is a QC issue. Do less with more, and you won't have to spend so much time putting out very public fires such as this.

They've not seen a "mainline" numbered release of Ridge Racer since 2006, a spin off on ps vita in 2011 and a PS3/X360 in name only "Ridge Racer" unbounded.

So yeah, what happened?

I miss the simple arcade racers. I loved Horizon Chase Turbo, but I would love to see Ridge Racer take the arcade racer crown back!
