If you plan on buying though - do note while it is quite fun, it is also buggy and unbalanced (chars/bikes/lack of necessary boosts on some levels/etc.) in some situations and therefore it might be hard. Played this on local coop with my partner and we got random hangs after crossing the finish line or 2nd player might not respawn after being thrown off the bike, etc. Definitely seems like abandoned by the studio so don’t expect updates. We’ve bought it on a steam sale so it wasn’t expensive or anything, but it is a shame that it wasn’t polished enough.
In the 18+ hours I’ve played, I only had one enemy takedown mission where the number didn’t go down as I killed enemies. Other than that, I’ve never experienced any bugs in this game.
But I’ve played exclusively solo campaign mode, so maybe there’s something there. I did try to go online last night and it just errored out, so maybe multiplayer/online mode is buggy.
Lucky you I guess, we’ve primarily played local coop, 2 xbox controllers and on a clean win10, maybe ~8hrs max. 1 out of 4 levels, the game was either stuck after finishing (had to be closed via task mngr), one player could not respawn for the entirety of the level and the other had to finish it alone, or we just couldn’t get close to boss to kill him. Solo was I think without much of these issues, but ofc not as fun :)
If you like, the developer displays his phone number on screen every time you die. You could try to reach out to him and let him know his game is broken. If he’s still engaged with the game, he might look into it.
Road Rash was the first thing that popped into my head when I saw this post. Like you said though, this appears to go a level above kicking people off of bikes. Haha.
was Road Rash the one with live action police arrest cutscenes ? i remember a motorcycle game where two cops put you inside their car trunk but don’t remember the title
Yes, that’s the one. The version you played was probably the PC version, which is an improved port of the 3DO/PSX version. There’s a lot of games in the series all just called Road Rash, which makes it more confusing to Google.
I freaking love that game, it’s a shame I can’t get to work on my modern rig, I would love to go back to it. It holds up! I got it running on my laptop a few years back, but I can’t get it to work since…it wants a dang keycode access (drm) and I can’t find any trust worthy sites that have like an ‘open’ version. So many fond memories of that game.
Also a banging soundtrack, it’s the reason I’m a Soundgarden fan!
Same, Soundgarden and Monster Magnet. My version doesn’t need a serial key, it can just be installed. Copy the rest of the data from the CD to the game dir and you can even play without a disc.
Man, that was so much fun. Back then when games actually amazes you that much that you had so much fun and Road Rash was definitely one of my favourites.
and there are no manuals so you had to figure that shit out on your own. it was a whole different ball game when we figured out you could stick your pipe in the spokes of the motorcycle next to you
Normally I would but the DLC isn’t really in my budget right now. When it is I totally want to go check out the DLCs because I’ve seen a few people praise the new Lake House DLC and I want to play it now
I am so angry that I didn’t just enjoy the heck out of Death Stranding, I freaking love it. Why did I spend 20 hours finding mats to build a highway so I can travel a bit faster?
I skipped this game altogether. I knew that I didn’t have the patience to handle a Kojima story without the metal Gear background that I love. And i cannot stand Norman Reedus, I think he’s the ugliest, weirdest, worst actor in Hollywood so skipping this game was easy
