Your worst ever vehicle in a game?

PostYour worst ever vehicle in a game? by **OLIN** » Fri Aug 22, 2008 10:48 pm

Mine is the reason I'm on here now and not playing on the 360.

It's the hovercraft on Half Life 2. I'm currently on the water hazard level where the 'coptor is chasing me.

Now I sometimes get mild motion sickness whilst playing FPS games, but a beer usually numbs the senses and sorts it out. Not on with bloody hovercraft it don't.

Two nights running I've played this game, driving the poxy hovercraft and two nights running I've had to quit as the motion sickness has been so bad I've actually felt nauseous - it was so bad last night I ended up going straight to bed after shutting the console down and beer isn't curing this 'cause both nights I've already had a good few pints as I've started quite late in the evening. It's bad enough when the thing is just travelling along normally, but as soon as it gets caught in scenery or I have to navigate an obstacle that's it, I'm one step away from Pukesville.

Please tell me that the use of this potentially vomit inducing vehicle is only limited to this section of the game!

that god awfull buggy in mass effect, handle worse than a shopping trolley!

If the term 'c***ing arsewank shitfest' could take on physical form, it would morph itself into the bike from No More Heroes.

The driving section in Gears. Absolute gooseberry fool.

As for hovercraft, I don't remember using one after that section, no.

Talking of motion sickness, Marathon gave me that, as well as one of those "the living dead" movies.

You do know you can to quick-turns and jumps with it?

My choice has to be all the vehicles in GTA IV.

Yes. My position remains the same.

I like the chops in GTAIV, not the zombie ones but the long low 'uns - that horrible 600 thing you have to chase the bike club down with is absolutely awful though.

Remember the cars in THUG? . . .

. . . Didn't think so.

I'm with you on this Alvin.

Its my least favourite thing about the game. Aside from the (rubbish) control of the thing, I hate the noise it makes when you crash and the way you spin off the bike and get turned around. Gah.

Surely this was entirely deliberate though ?! Wasn't the whole point that here is this utter loser who thinks, in his own tiny mind, that he is a bees knee assassin, driving around on his huge cumbersome machine - but utterly out of control causing chaos left, right and centre knocking everything and everyone down and oblivious to his own pillockness. (Think modded nova driver with windows down and stereo up thinking everyone thinks he's so cool when in fact everyone is thinking what a total prat.) And at the same time a piss take of gta.

Thing re no more heroes is that it takes the piss at many levels and not all of this is benevolent !

The tank in Call Of Duty 2. Didn't know which way i was facing half the time. The skateboard in bully is quite pish aswell.

Again - all entirely deliberate I think and designed to wind you up - every time you crash its a major pallava just getting going again. Its just rubbed in by turning the bike around. Jesus Mr Suda sure makes you work hard for your boss fights !!!

I got used to the vehicles in GTA4, so now i'm a right pro.

But one vehicle that annoyed me in San Andreas was the Walton. Seriously, wtf. It's this open top convertible that just slides everywhere sideways.

It can be as deliberate as it wants, doesn't mean I'm going to stop getting pissed at it.

Did anyone play Rebel Strike on GameCube? The Speeder Bikes in that were annoying as hell too.

Alone in the Dark for sure.

Yoshi in Super Mario Sunshine.

Isnt benevolent taking the piss a contradiction of terms?
