The Crew makes me want a modern version of Cruisin’ USA

GameZone's Jake Valentine: "I shouldn’t have stronger feelings for a good-not-great 90s arcade game than I do for a 2014 open world racer releasing on relatively new consoles."

Yes yes and yes. I've been saying this for years.

I've never liked racing games, but for whatever reason Crusin' USA on my N64 was fun as heck. Almost forgot about my time with this game, brings back good memories.

San Francisco Rush was also another racing game I enjoyed on occasion when I rented it from Blockbuster. Along with Need for Speed II that I played on my brothers PS1, was hilarious driving around as the T-rex with cheat codes (man I miss cheat codes... shame they mostly went away due to online gaming and the risk of people cheating online). How awesome would it be if somebody were to release a Gameshark for the PS4/XB1, maybe then we could start having mods like the PC gamers.

San Fransisco Rush and Hydro Thunder are my two favorite arcade racers of all time. Nothing made me sweat the way they did.

Never played NFS2 but did play NFS3 - I believe the first to include police pursuit. Very fun as well. But there's just something about the way Midway did things back in the day that others couldn't match.

That game was awesome in the arcades and N64!

Wait. I don't get it. I reported on something that I recently noticed. I did mention in my article that I wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't gone to play The Division 2. That said, if this was nearly a week ago, I wouldn't know, as NO ONE REPORTED ON IT! Not IGN. Not Gamespot. Not Kotaku. No one.

You got people here complaining that there are any real gaming journalists and game journalism sucks, but when someone is acting, doing something to make something known to the public about what a company is doing. What do you do? You poke fun at it. What is it that people want? Do you want to complain for the sake of it? Or do you actually want people to do something to make those who aren't in the know aware of the shady stuff that's happening and to sound the alarm?

It's the "oh well" setting in on digital users. They don't care they don't own their stuff for some odd reason. 🤷🏽.

Good for you! People sometimes just feel the need to show how little they actually have to say. Very respectful dressing down, btw, which is another thing we need more of.

I appreciate your article,
- "If this isn’t considered both a “WTF” moment and setting a dangerous precedent, I don’t know what else it would be"
- "it could also signal other publishers that removing games from our accounts would be okay"
- "Maybe those firmly against this digital future have a point after all"
- "This. Is. Fucked. Up."

As someone against an only-digital/streaming future for entertainment content (movies/TV shows/games/books), it feels like talking into a void about the points above on this website, or on Twitter, or with my friends, etc. People don't get it. I'm strongly contemplating whether this will be my last generation of PlayStation & Xbox consoles (I'm confident enough that Nintendo's next system will still support physical media and that their 1st-party games won't have online-required installation or usage restrictions).

He is one of the long running trolls of this site, he never says anything positive. Every single one of his posts are either incorrect or flat out stupid. Pay him no mind.

OtterX17d ago

Thank you @shadowhaxor, we appreciate you.

Yet people will sit here and still say that digital is better 🙃

Welcome to the era where you no longer own your games.

gvrd001917d ago (Edited 17d ago )

I'm so done with Ubisoft, removing games one paid for is a new low...
Bye Ubisoft,
You've done f#c*ed it up !

Chocoburger17d ago

This was me 9 years ago, when I realized all they wanted to make were filler boring games that are packed with micro-trash-actions.

Snooze! Moving on from Ubi-junk!

vTuro2417d ago

I see they're trying their best to surpass Activision Blizzard for being the most hated gaming company. Keep at it, Ubisoft, I believe!
