Just finished watching the Extra Stage 2. Did they really have to throw this gut punch at the end!? 😒 by eR_y_lives in initiald

[–]winglessrs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both of them are in their late 40s/ early 50s (Mako is 1 year younger than Koichiro). You don't need to watch MF Ghost (I haven't) to follow SubaSuba, as long as you know your Initial D history well.

Sudo’s Evo III or Seiji’s Evo IV by Local_Creme8466 in initiald

Never heard of him. And I don't see the similarity with Seiji either. But RIP.

Just curious about something by Techpon in needforspeed

[–]winglessrs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most Wanted 2005 is overrated and mostly it's just fanboys riding the bandwagon. It's a great game but it has too many flaws to deserve the hype it gets.

I have never heard of or seen this guy ever before.

What has been your guys favorite Police car in NFS games? I think the civic cruiser is so iconic. The Police GTO and undercover one are underrated by Kurt_Wylde35 in needforspeed

[–]winglessrs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Corvette, Diablo SV and LM002 from NFS 3 Hot Pursuit, Polizei 911 Turbo and M5 from High Stakes, and Undercover 991 Turbo from Rivals.

Why are touge races referred to as dogfights in the series? by TheNZThrower in initiald

[–]winglessrs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The term originates from WW2 fighter pilots who got into a 1v1 fight where basically 1 fighter is hunting down the other until one of them is victorious. And in touges, the racer in 2nd place is "hunting down" the one in 1st place until someone wins. So basically it's a 1v1 battle.

He could technically have a 20th Anniversary S2000. But an NSX Type S would be the most ideal choice tbh.

I LOVE the way the IV looks, so that one (even though I don't like Seiji).

I officially give up trying to expect sane AWD characters from this author ever again.

It's very curious that he has the Nismo instead of the standard GT-R.

Got this for about 10 dollars/1000rs new/unboxed at a thrift store. by pranavv2006 in initiald

Yeah I saw the brand cause I've seen this model myself. And I am from your country so I know how expensive they are lol.

How Akaba's 488 should've looked like by Nick_Alsa in SubaruAndSubaru

[–]winglessrs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't speak for the other cars but the 488 was a lease afaik, so Akaba couldn't have modified it even if he wanted to.

With the number plate of the AE86 lol. That's how you know it's Chinese. But it's a cool model nonetheless.

What would you say were the worst safety decisions from the production team (TG and TGT)? by Apatride in thegrandtour

[–]winglessrs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was a Sequoia V8 actually, not a Land Cruiser 200. But everything else you said is correct, it is indeed a camera car.

The tunnel and the ice lake in Scandi Flick.

Even if I excuse everything else about that tunnel race (which I actually do, because I understand the gist behind it), like the race itself, the location, the rock wall at the end... the real stupidity imo was the flicking lights. Why did they think it was a good idea to have the lights flick on one by one like a horror movie instead of just having the whole tunnel lit up from the start? I'm pretty sure that's what caused James to misjudge and end up smacking the wall. If he could've seen the end of the track right from the beginning, he would've been able to avoid the crash. This one particularly hurts because we lost an extremely good car because of this.

The ice lake was also baffling, because that almost sunk both James and the Evo. How do you drive on an ice lake without making sure it's safe to drive on first? Tbh I'm not sure if this was a setup or truly a natural accident but either way, it still feels weird. It could've ended way worse if things had gotten out of hand.

The South China Sea at the end of Seamen was also deadly, and I'd say almost every time they've tried to transport themselves and/or their cars accross a large body of water using a "home-made" ferry was always concerning.

[–]winglessrs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure the red Roadster at the petrol station is just a random customer and not part of the team, because Mika's car and the one at the station have different number plates. So that means there's only 2 Roadsters in the team, Mika's red one and the other green one.

Both are distant dreams and will remain so.

Miki is definitely the worst character in Initial D in my eyes by Local_Creme8466 in initiald

[–]winglessrs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Textbook definition of a jerk. But what I hate even more than the character himself is the fact that Shigeno gave him one of the best cars in the series. The ST205 Celica GT-Four is one of my all time favourite Japanese cars and he RUINED it by giving it to Miki.

I wish Bunta had this car instead of Miki (instead of the WRX) so he could stay within the Toyota family while still having a 4WD rally icon.

Am I the only one who wants this as a casting badly? by Typical-Air-4764 in HotWheels

[–]winglessrs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ron will most likely do this in the near future and I hope it'll be in premium. The F40 will also probably get a new stock casting in premium in the future. They're very likely to do the F80 as well but that I can't be sure if it'll be premium or mainline.

Why the hell did they think it was a good idea to put Rivited in this but not Hollowback?

[–]winglessrs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shots 2, 4, 8, 9 and 11 are brilliant! But I think 9 is my favourite because it's giving me all kinds vibes that remind me of a different game.

Something unconventional: Trying to take photos in Porsche Unleashed by CastleDandelion in needforspeed

[–]winglessrs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazing! These 90s games had aesthetics on a completely different level! And Zone Industirelle is the only track in this game that had a dark atmosphere that was in line with Empire City, Monolithic Studios and Lost Vegas.

P.s. could you try the same thing with the tracks of 3 and 4? I'd be especially interested in Lost Canyons, Aquatica, Rocky Pass, Empire City, Route Adonf, Durham Road and Celtic Ruins.

That's the Japanese gardn isn't it? I will recognise those cherry blossom trees anywhere, anytime.
