I'm playing some GTA IV again. I got killed by someone flung from another car.

Date: July 31st, 2019 8:06 AM Author: Primrose stage legend I had no patience for it, there is no way Cars handle that terribly at low speeds irl. I just ended up spawning the sports car and helicopter iirc, and I would spend a ton of time in the stupid helicopter traversing the city because missions would constantly send you from one side to another. Such a rubbish game. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4313529&forum_id=2#38615598) |

Date: September 1st, 2019 11:15 PM Author: Yellow windowlicker i have come to appreciate the kooky physics in this game. in some ways, they are reasonably close to real-life, in that relatively short falls from height or serious motorcycle collisions will outright kill you. in other ways, they are completely nuts - colliding with a vehicle's gas tank (usually behind above the wheel-well of the back tires) will often set the car and all of its occupants on fire. hitting a car with a heavy truck at speed will send the car soaring through the air, with passengers ejected all over the place.
i also think they did a good job with the object textures. there are thousands of small details that went beyond the cut-and-paste textures of the basic building/road/etc. models. like how old brick buildings will have painted advertisements for the game's fake products, and you can see that the advertisement was actually painted over a previous advertisement for a different fake product. |

Date: December 6th, 2019 2:18 AM Author: Yellow windowlicker one thing i discovered is that the RIPLEY airport truck is the most destructive vehicle in the game in terms of what it does to other vehicles. it can also take the most non-firearms damage before exploding. its extended side-mirrors clip and overturn other vehicles with ease. it even flips over the black armored NOOSE vans that chase you after 4+ stars.
