Long story short, I went to the arcade's 10-buck tuesday to play Initial D V3, but it wouldn't take my card with my 1 million+ points FD Rx-7. I asked the game tech why he said "because it's 10-buck tuesday" I asked him the question in different ways several times thinking he'd elaborate. Same answer over and over again. So I asked him "Why can't we use the cards we already have even though it's 10-buck tuesday" I got a blank stare as a response...

I was able to get a refund on the admission, though. So that's good. But seriously... wtf. It makes no sense to not let people use their cards on that game. You just lose business.

 

....because he is a moron.

Do you play Maximum Tune?

 

I saw it there, he used that game as another example of the no card thing. I was thinking to myself "Yeah... because giving me another example of a game is gonna help me understand this better"

But I've never played it. Maybe I will tomorrow.

 

Wow that's a really sad story

 

Doesn't Initial D cards have a limit on how long you could use them for?

 

Yeah. I know. I had my whole day planned. I was gonna be a nerd and stay inside an arcade from 10am until question marks playing an unrealistic racing game all day with other nerds.

And now some dumbass "game tech" ruined it for me. now I'll just have to stay inside and play Warcraft 3 like a nerd.

 

I think the default is 50 plays until you have to renew your card. My card has 119 plays though. converted from V1->V2 got me from 37 plays to 86, then converted the V2->V3 with 70 plays left and got 119. People were confused when I was there the other day.

 

It's a fun game. Not as difficult as Initial D because it's Highway-style racing. Perfect for me because I'm usually drunk whenever I play this game. I dropped an easy $20 last Monday, building a Supra to 520hp.

 

hmm. so it's like tokyo extreme racer, then? kind of?

 

Pretty much...covering that whole Wangan thingamabob. Thing I like best is the shifter isn't sequential and the nerds haven't really discovered this game because they're too busy playing the other one.
