I don't mean to bring this subject up from the dead but this really needs to be said. How the hell did Jaffe said the big ram damage was not intended in the first Twisted Metal when it saids in the manual to ram cars with Darkside to your best offense? Looks like Jaffe didn't know what he was talking about. But then again you still haven't shown proof that he said it so whatever. This is all I'm going to say.
https://i.imgur.com/QTehJ1d.png You know what the problem is with you Luis? You're a friggin' moron who can't handle nuanced thought, but you keep wading into nuanced conversations where you quite frankly don't have the brain power to hang.
I didn't say Jaffe and team didn't know that rams are powerful (and by the way, did you miss the part where Darkside's special said it had "moderate" power - they likely said you're better off ramming as Darkside because Darkside's special freaking sucks and anyone who ever spent any time at all on TM1 knew that that special was hot garbage). I said they didn't know they were AS powerful and so skewed in favor of using them over the weapons as they were.
Do you get the difference yet? In TM2 PC you can one hit ram tons of cars if you hit them at just the right angle. So maybe they knew ramming was cool, but not THAT cool.
Is any of this sinking in yet?
I'm tired of your implication that I somehow made up a stat just to make up a stat. There's no motive for doing that. What does it have to do with anything? It's just an interesting bit of Twisted Metal history that I thought you'd be interested in, but you're too stupid to even get why I shared it with you. Pretend for a moment that the Singletrac team DID know ramming was that powerful. That doesn't mean I suddenly want it to be that powerful, or that my arguments about why it shouldn't be that powerful go out the window.
In other words, their opinion has NOTHING to do with how I think on ramming, and so there's no reason for me to make it up.
Now, you want to know the REAL reason I didn't find the quote for you? There's actually two of them:
1. I don't like you. Simply put, I'm never going to put any kind of effort at all into helping you figure ANYTHING out. You freaking piss me off with your bockheadedness.
2. It was from a Twitter and/or chat conversation EONS ago, I think around 2006. Jaffe gave us the go to ask him questions, and so we did.
How the hell am I going to ever track that damn quote down? ESPECIALLY considering point one. I wouldn't even spend the days and days necessary to find it for my friends, let alone you.
Make sense?
