dude, lol. I played Initial D and Wangan Midnight at arcades for 5-6 years and had no problems when I drove a real car for the first time, no stalls. The only thing you'll probably learn incorrectly is hand positioning, but that's not very hard to change.

yeah, but they're close! right?

...

but seriously don't be afraid of playing games because you think it'll own your manual skills or something, that won't happen

nothing about racing games relates to actual driving.

Going 150 and moving into sixth gear on a vet in real life, is a fucking ball clenching experience. In a videogame it means your begining to not be bored...


Play racing games for fun. Learn all about the mechanics of a car if your so inclined, before you drive.

Same as play starcraft for fun. Learn about war in the army.

its not gonna mess you up... I mean I dont see how it could. Just don't redline everytime you shift....you're not planning on racing are you? or at least I hope you're not.
yes.

Hah, i thought you were going to ask about bad habits in terms of gaming. Like mouse movements in starcraft of something.

I really doubt it will negatively affect your driving, although it definitely won't help it. I don't drive a stick-shift, but your going to need a long while before you're good at it. Driving is all about practice.

You gonna be racing down your street? Are you trolling us?! Like guy above my quick reply box said, driving is easy as fuck and any "bad habits" you get from playing your racing videogame would be shut down when you see whats happening infront of you on the road.

My hours and hours of Gran Turismo 3 before age 16 made me a better driver doubt. If only because I understood the physics of a car before ever being behind the wheel of one.

definitley, going 160mph into a wall is a good way to stop your car

This is not good advice to be giving someone who has never driven a stick before. Most people will at least stall a few times etc when learning from scratch... don't make it sound like you are a moron if you can't drive it almost instantly.


i said that day... as in I had practiced in a parking lot for a while before hand. And of course EVERYONE will stall a few times. I have had my fair share of painful stalls.

Just avoid stoplights on hills and all will be good :D.

Not at all.

Half of driving is feeling. How do you know that you took a corner too fast or that your messing up ure gear shifts? Because your body feels it when your driving. Racing games cant simulate the feeling of driving, only the actions. Its very easy to draw the line between what you do in a game and what you do in real life.

Eh, I learned how to drive stick in a day too. You're all giddy for a new car, so you spend the whole day driving. Granted, it took like a week or two to master, but I could at least get where I needed to go

you really really wont, the amount of feedback (i.e. reactions to your actions) in real driving should totally override any habits you pick up playing games

yup

also trying to practice driving a car w/ games is just an excuse kids make to buy the racing games... it will not in anyway help u in ur real life car driving...
