BURNOUT PARADISE DEMO!

[CajoleJuice]

might check out one of the older games then. Which do you recommend.

And I was likening it to Gran Turismo in the sense of it sounded like boring as hell shit

Burnout 3: Takedown (I'm also a huge fan of 2, but it has a much different feel and look than 3)

[Mr. Gundam]

it's not a bad demo per se, the problem is that it's thrown away the raw excitement and awesomeness for something that is less than what it was.

Seriously, how insane could this game have looked if it was a straight round course/in line racer?

It would be absolutely positively awesomely insane. Too bad they borked it to high heaven by incorporating the free-roaming sandbox element into it.

Revenge is pretty sweet, you can just ram cars from behind and they fly away

Burnout 3 is more traditional, try to avoid cars

Both are well-recommended

Dominator is a turd tho

Revenge is on 360 too, btw

And there's a demo

[The Sceneman]

sweet bra, I'll check Revenge, (superior version w/ achievements ftw)

[Beezy]

I'll probably end up buying Revenge for the 360 too if Paradise doesn't get much better than the demo.

[CajoleJuice]

Yea, if I didn't already have and play through Revenge on the PS2, I would just buy Revenge on 360 instead of Paradise.

Tried to like this... I even avoided all the threads until I'd played it myself so my opinion wouldn't be colored.  But no aftertouch and no takedowns = no sale! What were they thinking?!

[CajoleJuice]

Yea, so I tried out online for a WHILE.

Still sucks balls. sdlkjafhasjkdfar damn you Criterion. EPIC FAIL

[Mr. Gundam]

The game fucking sucks.

I'll stick with Takedown and Revenge, thank you very much.

I've never seen distant hate a game so much that he said,"the game fucking sucks."

[Mr. Gundam]

I've never seen distant hate a game so much that he said,"the game fucking sucks."

I know, right?! While I recognize they're shitty, I still play and love all those shitty Gundam games!

Seriously. Criterion took a good thing and dry raped it up the ass. Repeatedly.

[CajoleJuice]

It's a combination of massive disappointment and utter disgust, I imagine. There we go.

[Himu]

when i finished the demo for the first time i turned off my 360 in disgust. no joke. Every time I look at "Burnout Paradise demo" on my game library, which I have not deleted yet because I have a part of me that is hoping I'll like it in some way, I grimace.

[Smooth Groove]

I think it was just a bad demo.  I can't call the game bad yet since so much have been locked.  The graphics aren't jawdropping gorgeous at first glance, like the 1up fanboys have been saying, but they are pretty nice for a game that's running at 60fps.  I've only played the PS3 version so far.  The 360 version hasn't even been downloaded since the demo wasn't much fun to play.

Marble Blast Ultra >>>>>>>>> Burnout Paradise

I'm having so much fun playing this online right now.

WHAT DID THEY DO!?

Dammit, what is the developers excuse for this
