Well..it sucks. Seems it was more or less an enhanced port of the PSP Ridge Racer. And that one was a ton more fun than Ridge Racer 5-7 combined.

I remember Doctre81 talked about this in the early days of the Switch. He's good for finding info on LinkedIn. This was one such game.

Dang it. I still think Ridge Racer Type 4 is one of the best racing games I’ve ever played. Loves the music, the CG intro was legendary, the tracks were great. Hell, I loved it more than the Gran Turismo games. I wish this series could continue.

I could have had a Ridge Racer 8? Now I'm really disappointed, I've been clamouring for a new Ridge Racer since 7/PSP versions.

Many of those who hate Dark Souls II hate it because it's not Dark Souls. The same people love Dark Souls III because it isn't Dark Souls II.

And so many of the issues at the centre of common complaints about DS2 are present in DS3 and sometimes even DS1. The hatred and bile spewed over this perfectly decent game is ludicrous.

I don’t think it’s a terrible game, but like a movie sequel by a different director, for me, it does NOT capture any of the “magic” felt from the Miyazaki entries. Boss battles don’t feel epic, environments don’t have the same sense of awe, the enemy variety isn’t particularly interesting, the art direction just feels bland, about the only thing I can give it praise for is some of the music.

Now, again, this is only how I feel about it, so I’m not trying to invalidate his you feel about the game, but it is the worst entry in the series due to those factors and it’s the least re-visited entry, for me.

Is it decent as a game on its own? Sure. But in comparison to the Miyazaki entries, it does not stack up and I believe that’s where many were disappointed with it.

Completely fair. I cannot disagree either, mate.

You can also play it in VR flawlessly on PC & controller with the LukeRoss mod so… another reason to jump back in with extra immersion.

It’s not a bad game it’s just not as good as the others
