Why are they popular?

I've tried playing them, and they are impossible. This isn't the "fun" kind of hard. This is the "stupid" kind of hard. I feel as if I'm never getting better. And that's why they're annoying. Because no matter how often I play, I keep sucking. It feels as if I'm not even in control of anything, as if I've hit a brick wall I cannot get past. This isn't fun. This is bullshit.

Especially when the game gets to be brutally difficult in like the second level.

Topic inspired by the "What-the-fuck-is-this-bullshit" hard Motorstorm Apocalypse.

    I don't find them difficult (or at least the non simulation ones) as long as the other racers don't cheat. >_>

    I never got why "Topic can be snowcloned"="It's bad" came from.

    Lol flamebait

    Though I have to agree, I don't find many racing games fun. The only ones I like is the ones where they let you fuck around, like Mario Kart, Burnout or the driving sections of GTA

    I believe every word this topic says about racing games.

    A snowclone doesn't mean that your topic is bad. It's just a cheap joke. -shrug-

    I do agree with the OP when applied to racing games, though.

    I've never enjoyed a racing game that wasn't a Kart racing game.  They just aren't fun to me.  And they're really hard to play.

    I like racing games if they have some kind of weapon system, otherwise it is just a bit tedious and dull.

    Also, stuff like this isn't that difficult....

    Seriously, it's just knowing the physics and the tracks.

    Racing sims are kind of boring, but shit like Mario Kart and F-Zero are pretty great.

    "Racing sims are kind of boring"

    Spoken like a true man who's never been fighting for position in the rain, three cars on your side, another ahead of you--you're about to slide out of control, and have only one chance to win. Someone ahead slips up--the driver in front can't react in time, smashing into the wreck--and you've got only one chance to slide through the opening....

    I SPENT MY GODDAMN SOUL WRITING THAT

    Also, it took my less than half-an-hour to get 10th in the entire world for Mainlining in a Mudplugger on Motorstorm.

    It took me less than half an hour to get 10th in the entire world.

    It bewilders me whenever people say racing games are tough.

    I'm fairly sure that the entire world isn't really as much as it seems though in this case, since it's not like everyone has that game...

    Well, the entire playerbase.

    Chagen, have you thought that maybe it isn't that they are easy and that maybe you're just REALLY good at racing games?
