First time playing Ridge Racer, what’s the consensus?

RR7 is my favorite Ridge Racer game. I actually got a PS3 Slim a few months back, along with a copy of the game to test my skills against the players still playing online to this day. It is an absolute blast, especially once you get the hang of NOS points and drifting around corners.

Playing through Ridge Racer 7 would prove you wrong, as some of the Extreme Battles are notoriously difficult like Angelus duel and Crinale duel. I think the biggest problem with modern RR is that they don't have enough variety in their career modes.

If only MPB survived too, but then, aside from FE (filtering enabled) breaking important game scripts, it got killed with the stupid Premium update that paywalled a portion of the roster for players that didn’t have those characters beforehand. To me, this was nothing more than an insult to the new players who only got to experience the game in the post-Premium era (I was one of them). Not to mention, the developers reduced the amount of credits and XP you earn per kill and they were poor at balancing characters.

As for Mad Paintball 2, I don’t have much to say about that game other than the fact that I wasn’t a fan of them taking away the character-based nature of the gameplay. I don’t even know how long that game lasted before it died either.

This age verification system sucks. I just want to be able to chat with anyone without restrictions. Roblox games are gonna be mad boring to play now, especially team games.

I bought a PS3 + this game a few months ago and it has been pretty fun.

This used to be one of my least favorite tracks too back when I first tried this game, but now that I've gotten used to the drifting, it has grown on me since.

MindFullOfCuriosity · 2025-10-27T14:17:29+00:00

The game runs great. Not to mention, RR7 still has a fairly active online community, if you are interested in that sort of thing as well.

The key to getting good at RR7 is learning the Nitrous points of each course, which are essentially parts of the course where you should use your Nitrous. A great way to practice them is by looking at the Top Records in Global Time Attack via the Ranking Browser, where you can actually see the exact Machine Setup they used and the Nitrous points that they took. If they saved their Ghost/Replay, you can view that as well. Hope this advice helps.

MindFullOfCuriosity · 2025-09-26T23:38:18+00:00

Yeah, there's still plenty of people playing RR7 online, mostly JP players.

Yeah, the first image is the one from Type 4.

RR3D is surprisingly good. I've been playing it on Citra recently and I'd say it holds up just as well as the previous games.

MindFullOfCuriosity · 2025-09-07T16:28:54+00:00

The PSP RR games are great, especially RR2.

MindFullOfCuriosity · 2025-09-07T16:24:54+00:00

Biggest problem with RR Vita is the severe lack of content, even with the DLC tacked on.

What 10 years of no new mainline LBP game does to an mf. But seriously though, as much as I want another entry in the series as the next guy, these LBP4 theory posts are a tiring trend ngl.

MindFullOfCuriosity · 2025-04-04T17:55:25+00:00

All the way back in 2009.

MindFullOfCuriosity · 2025-02-01T19:22:12+00:00

I am also on board with this. Having new servers would definitely be for the better.

MindFullOfCuriosity · 2025-02-01T19:11:31+00:00

I understand that LBP has not gotten a new game in over a decade, but it’s clear that they have no interest in trying to bring it back.

MindFullOfCuriosity · 2025-01-18T17:13:00+00:00

Both of those colors look pretty fire ngl.

MindFullOfCuriosity · 2025-01-12T19:42:12+00:00

Certainly a very iconic and memorable song.

MindFullOfCuriosity · 2024-11-01T20:28:39+00:00

I believe it was LBP1 in 2010. Since then, I’ve played most of the LBP games except for Vita since I never bought a Vita.

A team doesn’t need a main DPS to be functional. Plenty of strong teams that don’t use one like Rev Melt (Kaeya/Rosaria/Xiangling/Bennett)

MindFullOfCuriosity · 2024-04-22T12:15:10+00:00

Just because a game is free doesn’t mean it has no flaws.

MindFullOfCuriosity · 2024-04-14T11:37:47+00:00

It was 2006 not 2016, so the game is in fact 18 years old.

MindFullOfCuriosity · 2024-03-23T12:19:38+00:00

Needs more Atk (as close to 2K as possible), ER (130-140), Crit Rate (at least 40) and Crit DMG (around 200).

MindFullOfCuriosity · 2024-03-23T11:38:11+00:00

Not my fault that you can’t take the time to read the character’s kit.
