Message: [QUOTE="Sunnyside, post: 251331, member: 499296"] I wish I was better able to look past superficial things like graphics, but unfortunately I cannot enjoy X. It's not a problem with the gameplay. In my opinion, the N64/PS1 eras were a sharp downgrade in how games looked. Could never gel with early 3D and that affected my experience with every game I played. Mario 64, Ocarina of Time, Crash, Spyro... the list goes on. Poor X is just a casualty of this. Hopefully one day I'll be able to look past the polygons. With all that said, GX is the peak of the series for me. So much of the presentation reminds me of the Sega arcade racers I love. This makes sense. Sega developed the game with oversight from Nintendo. So GX is a strong contender for best racing game I've ever played. And honestly? I feel like it's partially a blessing that we've never gotten a followup. I feel like I'd just be disappointed with the result. Nintendo doesn't like to resurrect franchises without adding a gimmick to make things fresh. I don't think that's necessarily bad, but GX doesn't need this approach. The best thing I could ask for is them deciding to rerelease the game with added courses. Aside from GX, I really like the mechanics of GP Legend. Blast turns in particular. Mashing accelerate to take tighter corners doesn't sound impressive on paper. However in practice it really engages me. Must be unlocking something primitive in my brain. Monkey smash button, monkey happy. [/QUOTE]
