So RPG Racing games exist... 

I won't believe you until you do charity stream 🧐

@@wikwayer charity stream isn't supported in southeast asian countries as of right now

It is old, objectively speaking, it's from the 80s that was almost 50 years ago

@@Muffinman6687 It was released in 89, 35 years ago. I know my knees are bad but sheesh lol

The good CARPG. Not like what Forza gave us >_>

What set you bangin, homeboy?

Straight Farberware, if you know, you know.

@@xasumiji yeah...that one hurt a little.

What do you fine folks think of NFS Payback? Recently replayed that game and I'm still torn whether its yugi-oh card system is something that I like or not.

Test Drive Unlimited is something I really gotta try

Choro-Q on the PS2 is THE most RPG of CARPGs if you ask me

TXR was the best! Loved those games so much. Also test drive unlimited was super fun as well.

NFS World too.

@@Victor_2000s Thats an MMO RPG though. Still accessible through fan servers

we're old dude, deal with it

​@@Pythonerspeak for yourself

Yeah, same here.

@@PythonerYeah, speak for yourself. I once FELT “old”. But, realized I’m losing out on life, by doing that. Feeling younger than my actual age is an Okay thing to do.

@@BrottenGuy cope

On point

They need to bring in the boss battles with health bars back.

@@rcheysnarfs2747 reminds me, one of the game has a horror mansion. Not the best one compared to other horror games even at the time, but the lore behind it is literally like Dead Space and Resident Evil. This is a game marketed for children, holy shit.

Same. And Interstate 82 was the first game I ever played where you could get out of the vehicle on online multiplayer, as well as create vehicle skins you could upload to the internet, then implement them into the game. Was A bit of A pain, but loved learning how back then.

I played the crap out of this game. I still have it and my TG-16.

Have fun with it

Ho boy what's this list LMFAO

NANI

The game intro itself is pretty good for it's time too

All we need is touge There HAS to be one

@@StarLuck600 Yesss! I am so happy I found your channel today. P.S. - i wont spoil it but a quick google search(Initial D Game) did not disappoint. ohhhh wow wow wowow haha 😂

LOL RIGHT

That was what I was thinking when I saw it LOL. Wonder if this game was made around the time pokemon would have been around. Yes pokemon came out in February 1996, This game was released 3 years later in June. With the anime predating it to April 1997.

Yeah I realised it while playing the game for making a review on it Wonder if more time and better ethics from EA could prevent it from becoming such a weird game

@@StarLuck600 Not sticking to the yearly releases and splitting the team to make ProStreet, Undercover and Skate at the same time would've helped

@@Reiji_Kurose They tasked Blackbox to make 3 games at once? Wtf That's some unethical nonsense

@@StarLuck600 Yeah, there were articles about major crunch going on at the studio around the release of NFS Carbon. Underground 2 and Most Wanted were also developed concurrently so things ended up being cut, like the airport from MW and the whole alpine part of the map

Corporate shet... I thought EA became greedy around 2008/09. Am I wrong?

Lol

Bruh, why. It's more text than it is racing, the racing is meh, and the characters look *AWFUL*

@@eins2001 Okay, I hear you, and I get where you're coming from. But I assure that when taking your time in the different overworlds to collect stuff and complete extra races, it really makes a world of difference pacing wise. Besides, even if the lack of voice acting does kinda suck, especially for 1999, the characters depicted through these text bubbles are very entertaining and interesting in my opinion. Granted, the story itself really isn't great, the whole plot about your character not actually being himself, and the voice being the real him, while neat-ish, makes zero fucking sense that I do concede. I think the racing is actually okay but I will concede that the beginning of the game is the roughest patch and I did almost give up. The cars are very slow, the collisions are so trash they must be calculated with random values, it all feels like a chore. But once your car gets past the 300hp mark, things actually start getting much better. Collisions seem to have been optimised for higher speeds of impact, so they actually start getting better. The racing gets far more engaging as tracks get a bit more technical and interesting while the car becomes a lot more fun to drive. At some point it alomst starts to feel like a slightly more realistic take on Ridge Racer Type 4. Also, this ties into the main aspect I love about this game, that being the customization and player agency. It is CRAZY how many parts and combinations you can make and have those be competitive. No two player will have the same build and I am very confident when saying that. My personal build by then end of the game was a black and white, quadruple turbocharged, rotary powered, lotus europa with a group C bodykit. It weighed 650kg and made over 800hp. How many other games would let you make something that insane? And that's barely scratching the surface! You can make a 4x4 Skyline powered group C bus with yellow rims, you can make an MR Daihatsu Storia with a Diablo kit or even just a serious tune without any extravagances. It's that player agency that I love and the attention to detail. When you chang a car's drivetrain, the body of the car will change to reflect the new engine placement, even Forza doesn't do that! And talking about agency, I love how there is no difficulty select at all, the player simply starts with a navigation system to indicate the direction of upcoming bends. The player can find a better one very early in the game if it's not enough or they can discard the one they already have for extra performance. I do agree that the character designs aren't great at all though, especially for the guys. But I think it adds to the charm and they can sometimes be so bad it's good. And in my opinion, the game makes up for it, not just because the in-game graphics are actually pretty damn good, but also with its soundtrack which I absolutely love. It's not the greatest ever, for sure, but I think it is still pretty damn good. That ending theme especially being one I listen to quasi on the daily. And just the amount of stuff to do in this game is insane, with 6 whole different areas, 4 of which are quite expensive and detailed open maps with a lot of side activities in each, which is why my main gripe with this game is that it does not have a post game, and that sucks so much, genuinely a big fault of the game for sure. Overall, I will never claim this game to be the greatest at anything apart from maybe customization and even that I wouldn't feel right claiming. It's definitely in the 7/10 range from an objective standpoint, but I just love this game personally despite all its flaws because there's a lot of good to be found if you're willing to dig. And I also find it insane that this game was released in 1999, in a world where the only other game with that level of customization was Sega GT, and that game genuinely just sucks. I think that even if to the modern eye, this game is really nothing but a few good ideas tied in a bunch of eh, the innovation it brings and how good it was for the time to me make it worth remembering. So once again, despite everything, I do not fear to claim this game as one of my favorite of all time. But I do hear ya lmao

@@detipacier bro literally just made a 10 page paragraph lmao You should make video essays honestly XD

​@@StarLuck600 Heh, sorry I have tried to do some actually (I'm French btw), but I lack the means to do it well, or at least without spending months over a single vid, and considering I'm in high school time isn't *that* plentiful. But yeah I'd love to really be able to express my opinions in well made, well furnished essays the way you do it. Thank you very much for encouraging me, I'm flattered (btw, sorry for the shilling lmao, but channel I've done my most recent stuff on is Asterozoa210)

omg i dont see anyone knowing about this game

Gotta shed some light on that game again it seems

Interesting...

Yes! 👀

Sorry for bad wording that game Didn't mean to disrespect that game at all

I mean, it was MMO, but don't have any clue how that was a Racing RPG where all you you could do was race random races, level up (Possibly the only RPG element), get new cars, play with friends. That game didn't have a story or anything like that

Yeah learned about that recently

Well, I think SIGMA STAR SAGA on the GBA is close to what you're after!

@@Daniel_Rodrigues_89 oooh...

I will, dw

I actually realized it just after looking at your comment LMAO

How many people did you need to slay in order to upgrade

@@StarLuck600 had to slay about 9 people 4 laps to even be able to attempt a D license

Dragster build fr

@@StarLuck600 probably, reached 402 KM/H in my monster Micro GT

I recall everything was in Japanese

DAYUM

You mean Burnout Paradise? That doesn't really have much RPG elements

@@StarLuck600 you defeated bosses, gained ‘weapons’, and gathered xp to level up. How is that not an RPG?

@@thirtyfive3d542 I don't recall weapons in Burnout Paradise? What game are you talking about?

The cars you receive are the ‘weapons’. Especially the hidden/easter egg ones.

@@thirtyfive3d542 weird to describe cars as weapons but makes sense

Yeah, sorry for my bad wording

I do have respect I was just surprised by the fact that the idea of a Racing RPG had been around for quite a time Maybe my wording was bad so I take the L

Never played it, but looks interesting

Curse Ubisoft

I don't trust the shop, I got scammed twice, I ain't trusting it again Besides, playthrough is completed :)

​@@StarLuck600 fair enough 😂😂😂

Initial D: Fever Dream Stage

I switched that Tureno into a Shtbox now

Don't know, haven't played it. But from what I've seen, it's got some management elements in it

No, theres no story or rpg mechanic. It is the Gmod of racing games.

@@NerfMaster000 makes sense

Hailo

As listed in the beginning of this video

​@@StarLuck600you can still play drift city today though.
