Can't wait to see how much this will cost and how bad the microtrssctions will be.

Seems like it's going to be a hard wait and see for me.

That's cool but I'll wait for the MMO reboot of Tokyo Bus Tour.

Gta5 has a taxi mini game.

All I 'need' now is for them to ruin jet set radio somehow and I'll be back on the waiting for something interesting to be announced train.

Do kids today even know what a taxi is? Or do they see a yellow cab the same way they see the save icon? "Why is it a square thingy? Those used to exist in real life???"

I used to say I was never going to get old......and then I got old. Now my knees hurt.

I used to say I was never going to get old...

Only way to do that isn't pleasant. Gotta die young.

Depending on how you age, that is kinda the goal ngl. I've seen my grandpa, I'd much rather die as myself before i lose any spark of life.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

That was always the plan. When I was 7, I planned on dying by 15. I'm 40 now, so things went a bit offcoarse.

Taxis were not wiped out in a great apocalypse. This is the dumbest thing I've read all day.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Outside of big cities taxis did have a big apocalypse though. I'm not saying I support their decline I'm only saying I've witnessed it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

You mean, outside of cities where taxis were always operating, they're still operating?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago

Outside big cities you were lucky to find a taxi anyway. But onto most any city in Europe, Asia, hell, pretty much anywhere in a non-US centric view, and they’re quite plentiful

Fuck that

Hard agree. Online massive multi-player games have become gross money grabs with all of the worst modern BS like micro transactions, loot boxes etc. Maybe Sega will prove me wrong but I wouldn't bet on it.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

It very well could be they’re overhyping what is ultimately just Crazy Taxi but as you drive around, other players are instanced in and out (a la Sea of Thieves) to make it feel more dynamic.

Unless they change the game formula heavily, it’s not the kind of game you sit and play all night every night like other MMOs strive to be.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Can they make a mobile app where you are the person who needs the taxi lol

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

They could call it Uride or maybe Passynger?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

Ya!

Ya! Ya! Ya! Ya! Ya!!
