It drives me insane. A keystroke increments so many units left or right, with nothing in between. I end up fishtailing everywhere i go, overcorrecting to the left, and to the right, and smacking everything in my way. Then eventually the health bar goes down and i end up reloading the game, again, and again, and again and again and again and again, until maybe, ill finally get it, whatever it is.
Racing in Rage for example. You HAVE to suffer through it in order to continue. I got to the first racing portion, played bumper cars, continually kept loosing. I raged quit, and havent touched it since.
Red faction Gureilla. That ending mission before the first area is taken over? Umm yeah. That sucks. I kept missing the targets by mere inch's left or right. Nevermind that 10 bajillion cars come out and all of them are acting like homing missles.
L.A Noire. I was having fun until I had to chase cars. Fishtailing left and right, smacking this, smacking that. Haven't touched it since.
Im not even gonna touch GTA. Endless city driving.
I'm sure if i sat here i could think of more games where i was having fun right up until some stupid freaking driving sequence where you have to press the keys *JUST SO* or you fail, again and again and again.
Combine that with checkpoint saves (another lovely thing consoles brought to games), and it's alot like playing the original tomb raider where it was all one big jump puzzle and you have to land on X pixel from Y angle.
I wouldn't mind it so much if there was an alternative, instead of being forced into this stupid freaking driving sequence.
I hate consoles.
