I wasn't going to reply because you completely missed the point, but that's fine.

Just some of the otbr collection of Yakuza bashing. Out of 274 posts on this message board, 10% of your posts have taken the piss out of something, because you don't like it (and only 2 posts {that I didn't include here} are in the actual Yakuza thread). But no, as you can see above, not only do you not like it, YOU GO OUT OF YOUR WAY TO SHIT ON THE SERIES; why? Not to mention, the majority of those posts up there aren't passing off your opinion as opinion:
"The Modern Day games aren't enjoyable to say the least." (statement, not opinion)
" the cheesy TR classics eh? Still better than anything Yakuza." (statement, not opinion)
"I have bad taste too! I figure it could be worse though, I could be a Yakuza fan." (SOOOOOOO a statement and not opinion)
"It's far better than anything Yakuza related." (Statement, not opinion)
I mean, come on; you hate something with a passion and (wrongly/unnecessarily) take the piss out of it as a result, passing your statements as fact and you tell me that mine aren't based in fact? Really?
I have completely-finished the first three Rush games, in my lifetime (and if you have played 2049 to its fullest, you would know that it takes *months* to complete) and have played them beyond merely completing them, a shit-ton as well; beyond actual coding and technical stuff, I know every single little detail there is to know about all three games, from top to bottom.
Did you know that you can turn wings off or, you know, just not press the button for wings during gameplay, if that mechanic bothers you that much? Therefore, if the game gives you the opportunity to play as you wish, ALLOWING YOU TO ELIMINATE THE MECHANIC THAT YOU DISLIKE, and you still bash it as a result, then you aren't giving the game a fair shake and you're giving your opinion, based on false pretentions/agendas, while passing it off as fact; you're no different than Sega Lord X.
If it truly was your opinion, you would say, "I'm not a fan of 2049, because I don't like the Wing mechanic." Instead, you wrote:
Clearly, a statement meant to pass off as fact and not opinion.
Furthermore, I don't know how objectively, one can say that Rush 2 is better than 2049:
- 2049 plays better (more-responsive controls, more options, better challenge, wings allow for a ton of gameplay variation)
- 2049 looks better (runs at 60 FPS, smoothly, with no slowdown, crisp, clean graphics)
- 2049 (was) playable online and could connect simultaneously to arcade cabinets, allowing for a more immersing/fun experience
- 2049 has significantly-more replay value (more things to do, more options, more of everything, save for number of vehicles)
These are FACTS, not opinion; you can like Rush 2's rougher, more retro-look, but it does not looks better than 2049. You can like the fact that Rush 2 has no wings and is a more simple, classic-style of arcade racer, but that doesn't mean that the wings don't allow for more varied and fun gameplay in 2049 and that it allows for a ton of extra options and things to do (Stunt, Obstacle, shortcuts in races, etc.).
The only subjective thing that 2049 has better is the soundtrack; Drum and Bass/Electronica is not everyone's cup of tea, despite the tracks being of incredible quality.
Therefore, in my extensive knowledge (and this isn't puffing up my ego or anything; I have spent hundreds of hours on all of the games, thus I think I know them pretty well) of the first 3 games of the series and my critical mind, honed by years of University and improving the way I look at things:
Notice I didn't once mention LA Rush? 'cause I've never played it and have seen maybe 3 SSs in my life: I have 0 knowledge of that game, so I don't bash it or anything.
Sorry, I'll modify my statement above:
"Rush 2049 is the best game of the first 3, bar none."
Happy now?
Awesome! I emailed Fonzie last week to inquire about what address everything will be sent to, as I don't know if he has the correct address (I've moved 5 times since then lol) and haven't heard back yet, but I trust everything will work out, since I can always swing by the address I would've had at the time and have them redirect it to me (or pick it up in person).
I'm glad you're enjoying it! From seeing the snippets I have, it looks great!

(in the Tomb Raider thread)
Rise and Shadow however are some of the most underrated and best games of the last generation, especially coming out during a generation full of generic and low quality 3rd person titles like Yakuza
(In the, "What Are You Playing?" Topic)
very much reminds me of earlier GTA 3, GTA Vice City, GTA San Andreas style of gameplay with 2013 era graphics. It's far better than anything Yakuza related
(in the Yakuza Topic)
but the modern day games aren't enjoyable to say the least
(in the "announcement about Shenmue Incoming," thread)
At Sega he had that jerk who created the Yakuza games
the cheesy TR classics eh? Still better than anything Yakuza
I love the Tomb Raider reboot Trilogy so you're not alone, I have bad taste too! I figure it could be worse though, I could be a Yakuza fan
(in the Tsushima Thread)
I'm glad they didn't ruin the game with making another predictable samurai title or something modern Japanese inspired that's trying to be trendy, edgy and cool but isn't(like Yakuza).
I'm incredibly thankful this dude and his studio didn't work on this game. He doesn't seem to have the capacity to do that given the way the Yakuza games present themselves.
Yakuza is like a generic Sleeping Dogs(and SD wasn't even that good)
(from the SegaSammy Thread)
If Shenmue became GTA: Bailu Village or Call of Duty: Kowloon it would have more success commercially but it would be franchise suicide for the spirit, moral message and essence of what makes it Shenmue....so in other words we could just call it Yakuza lol

Yakuza is definitely garbage,

Absolutely stand by it and I think I have stated my case more-than sufficiently.Rush 2049 is the best game in the series, bar none

My copy of Paprium arrived!
I tried it out this afternoon for 20 minutes or so. It looks and plays amazingly well in my opinion.
