I feel the same with modern games. But some of the retro achievements point you to hidden places and secrets, and challenges to complete.
So it’s a little different.
That’s what I have and I love it because it feels solid to use. I bought an expensive Backbone because it was marketed pretty well, but it just felt so flimsy that it had to be returned.
If you already have a Xbox/PlayStation/Switch controller, you can also use that. There are very cheap mounts you can buy for each of these controllers for ~$10 USD that will allow you to hook up to your phone seated on top of the controller. You might even be able to 3D print a mount too.
It’s not nearly as comfortable as this is (though you could say it is because the controller, itself feels better in the hands, but I’m talking viewing angle) but it’s a lot cheaper and doesn’t require buying a new, dedicated controller.
Not knocking your suggestion, OP. Just providing a secondary alternative too.
It’s AG racers I keep coming back to, myself. (BallisticNG)
I enjoy trackmania a ton, but everytime I play I get such a dirty feeling after about a week.
Ubisoft really ruined it with TM20. I miss the sound and aesthetic of Turbo, that’s where it peaked for me (though I’ll admit some of the tracks produced by the community in TM20 are art)
The former is an EXTREMELY faithful re-creationg of WipEout physics (both ps1 and ps3/4 era games, depending on mode), but with support for mods and community-made tracks.
If you haven’t played WipEout, the controls involve four axes of analogue input. Pitch, craft tilt, as well as left and right air-brakes. The fastest way around a track requires extreme precision and a bit of luck.
In addition, weaponry is allowed and you must manage your energy (which is both your health and boost-fuel).
Tic Tac Toe is still a pretty good time though. Legit that was how i killed time growing up, and even now, the number of spontaneous tic tac toe games i’ve started in games while playing with friends is pretty high
Its probably more they just want to let streamers and people get their names instead of being impersonated. But yea, security usually falls by the wayside.
I love MKWii and the mods for it, but god does the game have the worst item balancing in the series. The AIs are all constantly spamming POW Blocks and Blue Shells, which often get rid of your item right as a Red Shell or two are headed your way. There’s no invincibility buffer after getting hit by the Blue Shell either, so you get hit by the Reds too. The fact the Blue Shell instantly stops you in place while sending you flying upwards instead of sending you flying forwards like in other Mario Karts means it’s an even worse time loss. And it’s not uncommon to get hit by multiple in one lap.
Still my favourite Mario Kart, just very frustrating sometimes.
