I need help
Post by Dominic on Aug 1st, 2003, 10:53am

In recent days, my faith in the new F-Zero has been constantly dwindling (That dakou is the final nail in the coffin), I feel as if the new one is pretty shallow, I was wondering if anyone could replenish my want for the game because in all possibility this could be the worst F-Zero ever... I'd really not like to think that, but it has crossed my mind everytime I get online

I don't care about the graphics (they are great though)

I just need to feel secure about the gameplays competence everytime I boot it up...

F-Zero X after all has been my favorite game and for very good reason

So give it to me straight, is GX a step down from X? I'll try not to cry if you give me an honest answer

I haven't played the game, but let me give you some reasons:

-The graphics are top notch, which is the first F-Zero game to have that. But you don't care about it, right?

-Of course, it takes time to learn to race, but who says that makes the game less good?

-Character Profiles

-Customize function

-AX Linkup

-Great music

I could go on, but personally, I think this is going to be THE MOST COMPLETE F-Zero game up to date. Just buy it.

Im afraid it wont be as good in time-attack (the long-laster) as F-zero X (just guessing though), mainly because of this dakau....

Ill definately get it for the other stuff though, seems very solid in GP and Story mode, etc. Ill just not use that lame technique ^^

Don't focus on the negative : dakou is the only thing that makes you feel F-Zero GX sucks. The plaesure is not only in doing the best times. For example, you don't need sliding and DTDing to enjoy FZX, do you ? Wait until you have the pad in your hands. And, are you sure that dakou is the best way to make world records ? Has somebody been disappointed by F-Zero GX ? I don't think so, and you won't be the first one, for sure !
Just wait until the release... and don't be scared for nothin' !

yes, I won't even touch that dakou move, Jesus that's gay

I know all the other stuff is more than enough to entice me, but doubt rears its ugly head all the time... but you're all right, I'll just have to wait till I play the game

and who knows, there's still a big possibility that this damn glitch won't cut it in the US version, if it doesn't I can't begin to elaborate on how happy I'll be

Thanks Guys

PS. The whole point of this is because I pushed this game and convince dozens of people to buy it, I feel as if I'll have a guilty conscience as a gamer if all I was talking about was wrong

Thanks, I think I can calm down now, hm... I got an e-mail from NOA, they said there's a possibility that Dakou won't make it to the US version, you guys better E-Mail them too and give them the video about it

Could anyone please tell me what this 'dakou' is? Is it a special strafe/drift technique? Also, if it will be cut out of the USA/EUROPE release, won't the Japanese get much faster times?

If Dakou is removed in further versions, that s great!
I don t want to use it anyway. I m going to buy the japanese game soon.

Dominic, two days ago i went to my favorite store to play F Zero GX. I had the same feeling , focusing on negative points...
I took the pad, and all fears vanished^^
It's a wonderful game, speeds is incredible, CPU are agressive, and GP mode is so fun. Boost are more powerful than in FZX. Sometimes you get first place only a few meters before finish line. The gameplay is perfect.

I just want to play again now! Even there s this f...... Dakou!

Just one thing to do, play!

Please read this
I got the game and I can say you that if you only want to play the Grand prix, so ok, the game is beautiful and great.
But if you wanna play Time Attack, so the game is dead.
The dackou kills TA, it's a shame for Hard core Gamers.

The Giant F-zero license turn to an empty game.

Really, the game is dead in TA, too bad for the universal ranking of fzerocentral, we have to play GX

Solution:
Just do the same thing as me: Don't use the Dakou Technique ANYWAY

But then you'll be easily beaten by somebody snaking (unless Dave has a change of heart and bans it).

Yes, of course you're right, but it's in the game ; is it really interressant to finish 15 seconds later than Dakou players does ?
Unfortunately, the TA is made to beat records, and to do this, you have to use the Dakou. It's like if you wanna beat the World Records of JKT without using the DTD ....

Yeah, The GP mode, Multiplayer, custom, versus and ... replay apparently are really what I have my eyes on, in the event that the TA mode is fixed, I'll join in and show my suckiness at the game
