alright, shenmue 1 is starting to make me mad...

I don't mind driving the forklift. In fact, it's one of my favourite parts in the game.

It gets a little annoying at times, sure, what with the races each and every morning and the sometimes wonky controls, but for the most part, I love it.

[TaoLishao]

how can you like them!? they drag...on...and on....the same noises...music...that stupid "mwah!" when ryo hits someone...

[Silas]

Yeah, and it's a weak piss-ass forklift, too. Even the cat can stop it with a paw!

Anyway, I like it because it's a challenge. Also, another reason I like it is because, although it's a different form of play, and you can't get out of the forklift, it's not a different environment! When you're racing you're in the same arena as when walking around. When you're delivering crates you're not only in the same arena, but you have the characters just doing what they do. Do you get what I mean? The challenges that arise when driving don't get harder as you go on; people aren't put in your way specifically to f*ck you up. They're just there, doing what they do, like they would in real life! It's truly random, because how the characters move depend on how they bump into each other and you, which may mean blank periods and other periods where a whole lot of people and other forklifts are in a traffic jam!

This is one major reason that forklift driving is much better than crate carrying (and as I've said elsewhere, as a game challenge crate carrying was badly thought out and badly designed.)

Driving the forklifts is fun. I like to see how quickly I can get my work done and if I can zoom around tight corners without getting stuck.

[ShenmueAddict]

yeh sure the controls can be a bit crap at first but after youve played it as many times as i have you become a master at driving them!!
