supposedly if you keep reverse-accelerating long enough it'll trigger the "You're Winner" screen, because once you're going fast enough the game just registers you as being at every point on the map all at once

@zh84 2 жыл бұрын

I don't know about that but I have seen a video of someone accelerating backwards until they exceeded the speed of light. In theory if you left the truck to accelerate backwards long enough you could trigger an overflow and crash the game. Which is probably more fun than playing it.

Big Rigs & POSTAL III are prime examples of Why you DON'T outsource video game projects to Russia!

@Dr_Slash 2 жыл бұрын

More like "why you don't commission video game projects if you aren't willing to allocate the appropriate budget". I'm sure that Stellar Stone knew perfectly well what they were getting for the money they'd paid. Besides, Big Rigs wasn't even made in Russia, the studio was Ukrainian. There are numerous examples of great games made in either country (e.g. Pathfinder and S.T.A.L.K.E.R.). Both great games and stinkers can be made anywhere in the world.

@ChaseMC215 Жыл бұрын

Oh yeah, Postal III.... that got delisted. And it was a shame because Mike J actually said that if they could, they would've made the game free, but they couldn't because they din't exactly... have the game?? Why was it delisted? StarForce went down. Yes, a DRM that people claimed it acted like malware, went down. And that's good because it shouldn't have been a DRM choice to begin with, why not SafeDisc or SecuROM (or SuckuROM as many call it)

I really enjoyed this video. I had a good friend who actually bought this game at retail back when it came out. I was his "computer guy", and he called me after he bought it, convinced that there must be something wrong with his PC. I had to demonstrate that the game was just as bad on my much higher-end PC to get him to believe me. When he finally realized that the game was actually just that bad, he went on a lengthy, angry rant so epic that his children would periodically re-enact bits of it. It was truly amazing how wide the disparity in quality was for these "value" games. There was some truly innovative, fun games that gave hours of gameplay ("Gearhead Garage", anyone?) and then there was unplayable crap like this (and Activision's "Escape from Alcatraz"), and you never know which one you were going to get.

I like how the box bullet points are all false. •4 big rig trucks with trailers (no trailers) Although I can understand how trailers would be a problem in a game with no collision system to speak of. I'm sure they had plans to have trailers on the trucks, but the broken 'physics' 'engine' couldn't handle 2 moveable objects that were attached to each other. They couldn't even get bridges to work right.
