FlatOut 3 is worse than you think

Ойындар

FlatOut 3: Chaos and Destruction is chaotically bad and nearly a complete destruction of the franchise.
In this video essay I discuss the aspects of the game that bring it down to the overwhelmingly negative state that it's in. FlatOut 3 might be one of the worst racing games of all time.
Games discussed in this video:
Gas Guzzlers: store.steampowered.com/app/24...
Wreckfest: store.steampowered.com/app/22...
Ultimate Carnage: store.steampowered.com/app/12...

I actually did play Flatout 4 and while it's VERY rough around the edges, the actual racing is fun (the characters are just as bad as this one though). And shout out to Gas Guzzlers Extreme, that game is simplistic but very fun and the weapons have a really satisfying impact.

Slapping “FLATOUT” as the title is an insult. Might as well be some iPad racing game ported to Steam. However I’ll give FLATOUT:Total Insanity the benefit of the doubt, it’s not great but it’s not horrible either.
