first experience with initial D

[stretch240sx]

was at boomer, all you so cal people should know what that is.

saw it and was like ohhhhh gotta try. so i got on and this kid was trying to tell me what to pick, i ended up picling the sil80 and the kid called me gay for not picking a subaru:rolleyes . so i race the guy with the s13 and beat him. and then give the kid a try and he gets rolled on!!! and says its the game.

most of the kids playing it didnt realise it was a drift oriented game and were looking at me all wierd when id take the corners

but yeah just thought id share my first experience with the game, pretty cool game

[Eklectrick]

I wish I could find that game in Minnesota.

[Kaioshin1982]

same here... i wish they had that game in NYC

[Rockenreno]

I just started playing that game. Spent $5 and got a card and played a couple times. I am using the s14 silvia Q's. White. It looks EXACTLY like my car, especially since the first "upgrade" it gave me was rims that look exactly like my crappy American Racing ones!

[crypt2k]

any NYC cat that wants to play the game can come down to jersey, GO JERZ, and play it at Fun-n-Games... its an arcade in willowbrook mall... just take 46E all the way to the mall.

and i got me a 180 tha looks just like my car too!

funny... most other players use tegs... or civics... yeah... they get owned.

[skitzo]

I live in So Cal. Where exactly did you go to play, I don't know what boomer is.

[TrueSlide]

I have not been beat on that game!! Set a few records too. I played some serious ppl with soem built cars, in my s13!! Fun game.

[fiznat]

I dont understand: if it's a drifting game, why did they include FWD cars like tegs and civics...? Why not just keep it normal drifting cars (RWD and AWD)?

Seems kinda supid... I donno maybe they've gotta keep other car companies happy or something who knows.

[TrueSlide]

Gotta make sales, everyone will now play it since it features a teg and civic as that what majority of ppl drive

[stretch240sx]

boomers is the new family fun center. they have em all around "so cal" im talking SD area. true so cal.

how do you get a card???

[gunclap]

sd is not true so cal. Oxnard is!

hmm i heard about that game. too bad....no boomer here. when you drift and stuff does anything vibrate to make it seem like you're actually drifting?

[4felix20]

sd is SUPER southern cali....

Really...hmm, might have to take a jawn up there sometime and check it out. Unleash the wife on a shopping spree, while I drop a few bits into the machine.

[crypt2k]

iight guyz.. here are the directions!!!!!

you come across the GW and take 46 West... and you just take it all the way to the mall. It is maybe 15 miles away. It is right after Wayne. you'll get there in less than 30 minutes...

now for a faster way here... take 80 west after the bridge then just take 46 west farther down... they meet up again. Like i said before the mall is off 46.

edit: for Meantime... just take the parkway up here till the 46 West exit... and ride it to the mall... very easy.

If you guyz are planning on coming ya should let me know so I can join ya... or if you get lost, which you probably wont.

My IM is ScytheShifter, MSN is [email protected]

and about the FF cars.. well... in the cartoon they race against some FF cars that think drifting sucks... so we get to see some nice Grip vs. Drift battles also. thats why they put those cars in.

[Kaioshin1982]

how is the game? is it easy to start drfting? is the game really realistic? how much is it? how easy is it to maintain a drift and how long can you play for hehehehe

[crypt2k]

pretty easy to drift i think... there is no car damage... and when you hit someone else's car it feels like you push off eachother, that i dont like. to maintain a good drift is another thing now... depends on the driver. and you play a dollar a race... the cheapest you can play it anywhere since its a pretty new game and there is always someone on it.

[MrFox]

Battle Gear 2's driving feel is much better than Initial Ds IMHO

[S-14boy]

My friend was tellin me about that game, he just got back from Puerto Rico and he said its big over there. I want to play it soo bad since he told me about it. But i dont think ill be seein it for a while.

[s15nc]

They raised it from $.50 to $.75 a play at the arcade in Raleigh I was pissed. I did not like it that much. I played it a few times but I still wanted to race and not drift so I kept losing all my speed in the turns. Does anyone else think those car accelerate way too slow?

[crypt2k]

thats the whole thing man.. if ya cant drift properly than you cant get the best exit speed.

[s15nc]

Dont everyone start flaming me but drifting is not the fastest way threw turns unless you have really bad rear tires. Don't get me wrong I love to go sliding threw turns in my car but I do it for fun not when I am trying to get the most corner exit speed. That game is a lot of fun but it is not realistic in that drifting threw turns does not in acutallity give you more corner exit speed

[crypt2k]

wether griping or drifting is faster in real life ... i dont know.. but the GAME is made so that if you do drift the corners... you'll be much faster.

and im not flaming you man... im a nice guy

Civics are in the game because they're in initial D and too many people drive them and you can drift (read: SLIDE) in them, heh.

[stretch240sx]

ok i knew saying true so cal would getsome comment so im gonna restate and say SO SO cal... better?

but yeah family fun center changed a little while back.

so does anyone know how to get the card so you can save you car on it????

boomers has on tuesday that for 10$ you can play all night for "FREE" so i want to get this card and just sit there and pay the game all night.... hog the game like a jack ***.. :rolleyes

[skitzo]

I was just kiddin, I know what ya meant =)

Tuesday $10 play all night, sounds cool, thanks for the info stretch.

This game is supposed to come out on PS2 in October of this year as well, just buy a steering wheel and build yourself a setup.

[stretch240sx]

ouhhhhhhh goood idea

[Rockenreno]

You don't have card options? It's $1 for a card and $1 per play up here (I played 4 times and got a card). You buy the card after you put in your $1 to play the game and it prompts you for a card or if you want to buy one.

Also, we just got Ver. 2 up here

[stretch240sx]

maybe it was just because the machine was set on free play

[AkademikONE]

sd is not true so cal. Oxnard is!

hmm i heard about that game. too bad....no boomer here. when you drift and stuff does anything vibrate to make it seem like you're actually drifting?
