So recently, since my PC died thanks to Samsung and RAID 0, I've been playing Race Driver Grid on the PS3.
I like this driving game as it throws you straight into a race, with a reasonable choice of real life vehicles. without faffing around with the cars setup to get those few milliseconds that wouldn't make a difference between first and last place.
I thought, I'd stick it on "Pro Mode", which means that you can't restart a race and you can't use the magical action replay function if you plough into a concrete barrier at 240MPH.
that in itself is grounds for a challenging experience in itself, but on top of "Pro Mode" you have to pick a difficulty of: Easy, Novice, Normal, Serious, Savage & Extreme. Along with that, you have the option of disabling assits like: Traction control, Braking assist & manual gearbox. all but traction controll are off for me.
I thought I'd go for normal to gauge the difficulty, and it was too easy, to which the annoying voice representing you race manager pipes up: "You won those last races too easily, ramp it up a notch!" fair enough, lets go for seriuos.
the next 2 races I came in last and she pipes up again "you came up short in those last 2 events..."
to which my response was..."eat shit *****!"
So whats the deal here, normal is childs play and 1 difficulty up is miles more difficult...whats extreme gonna be like: you start with no wheels! talk about a steep difficulty curve!
I'm all for games with the option of going that lttlie more extreme but,not when you have 6 difficulty levels and the mid range ones are as far apart as london and sydney!
Any other games with a stupid difficulty curve?
