![]() The thing about art of rally, however, is that the game didn't let me reach this stage. Eventually I'll come across some arcade racer and go * "wow, that was fun" * and find myself back at it again, with a totally renewed interest and the cycle repeats. Time to go play a fromsoft game instead.Īnd this is where it ends. The rallies keep getting longer and stages keep getting harder and I get fewer and fewer restarts so fuck it. And try again, and again and again ad nauseam.Įventually I realize that this game sucks ass and I'm never going to get good at it anyway. It becomes a chore, and no matter how many guides I read and setups that I try, I just cannot for the life of me avoid hitting those goddamn tombstones in Germany. In my relentless effort to achieve my goal I begin to stop having fun playing. I mean, have the devs ever even driven in the rain before? Because it's nothing like this.

In phase 1 I start whatever type of career mode is available and quickly work my way up through the classes, enjoying the gameplay and generally having a great time playing as much as I can and learning to git gud by scouring the internet for tips and tricks in every moment of freetime I have when I'm not able to play. ![]() That's fine though, because I have this game. Man this game is awesome! How much does it cost to actually get into rally? Those weeks normally go something like this: This is especially true for racing games, which have enough depth and immersion to keep my thoughts, time, and dreams occupied for weeks. Much like any other village idiot, I can get unreasonably obsessed with something to the point of deciding to write a short-form essay about it on Reddit. ![]() Hi, my password is taco and welcome to my Ted talk. Other than being bad at them, I find myself going through a series of phases, ultimately leading me to abandon the games in frustration until I inevitably come back a year later and the cycle repeats.
