About Mad City:
Most of my gameplay time not registered by Steam.Took me a bloody long time to decide whether pick “recommend” on Steam or not. At this current beta stands I really like it’suniqueidea/gameplay style, but hate the bugs and flaws at same time. It’s a lot better once you get past the confusing start at the beginning though. Well at least i can guarantee this is way better than a certain explosive FlatOut 3 …… and the car physics has potential (as long as it won’t go for drifitng crap like the latest NFSs) I’ve concluded myself that this is the type of game which worths throwing in money for supporting if you ain’t too poor. The arcade racing genre is dying and proper unique stuff such as this needs to be developed to keep the genre alive.So much wasted potential here. So this game could definitely be a very good game, but I just can’t recommend it because it’s pretty horrible overall. Don’t get me wrong, it’s laughably bad and if you can ignore all the game’s issues, it can be nice arcade fun. It just has too many problems. The first problem is that I was getting maybe 45 frames per second most of the time. I only got 90 frames when I was the only car on the roadway. I even dropped graphical options to medium for everything and only had it projecting on my VR headset (no mirror on desktop). Did not really help at all. Severe frame drops and pop-in graphical issues and artifacts. The AI vehicles on the roadway acted strangely. They would randomly crash for no apparent reason. They would go off the roadway for no apparent reason. I went all over the map and tried some races. I only got one to work. The other race was bugged. I didn’t see any story. I didn’t see any missions. Just basically drive to the nearest icon so you can race. I only saw timed race and battle race. The timed race did not work for me.
