You can REALLY be bad at drive in BP, it rox. My favorite events are still Man Hunt and chasing down a car to add it to my junkyard. The stunt stuff wont be really fun till I know the town better. I will say the early stunt stuff should be early with Hunter Vegas, as that's the easiest car to do donuts in lol

Anyway, this is a tinkering game, which I appreciate more and more these days as life has more crap going on. Some nights I just wanna grab some drink and fuck around with a game, and this, like crackdown, is that kinda game.

This is why Rock Band and now Burnout Paradise will be what I play the most. I hate to admit it, but I don't think I really have the time to invest in RPGs anymore. :'(

It isn't going to stop me from buying them, though!!

Burnout (and all other arcade racers) has always been a tinkering game for me. I can jump in, race a couple courses, and call it good.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #65 on:** January 23, 2008, 06:22:36 PM »

the only thing i don't care much for is that the stunt areas on the sidewalks (ramps) aren't more clearly marked. yeah, i know, thrill of discovery and all that, but when you're flying down the street they are really easy to miss.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #66 on:** January 23, 2008, 06:26:32 PM »

That's a valid complaint. I tend to pass gas stations right now and have to double back, but I double back all cool and do a drift and etc etc....

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #67 on:** January 23, 2008, 06:28:33 PM »

it still rules, and i can listen to my big band music while driving

HATERS B-GONE, BURNOUT PARADISE IS WYKYD

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #68 on:** January 23, 2008, 06:29:37 PM »

I honestly like the freedom, I guess this is the first burnout thats really my kinda burnout. I mean I liked the other games, but I find re-running lost races for crap far more frustrating because its the only way to approach the old games. At least in this one if I totally blow it I can drive it off and find something else.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #69 on:** January 23, 2008, 06:33:55 PM »

chasing other cars down and wrecking them for your collection is awesome

manhunt is cool, too

i need to go online and goof off with some XBL goofs

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #70 on:** January 23, 2008, 06:35:12 PM »

yeah the chasing cars to earn them gets totally crazy. The best jump in the game is the one off in the mountains, but I goofed it cause I rolled near the end and couldnt stick a landing. LAME

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #71 on:** January 23, 2008, 07:55:11 PM »

Well its not like midnight club in that you dont go around challenging, its all very ad hoc, dont expect street cred or any underlying system to direct where and when you throw down with other cars. Its really just a big playground, in which most peoples milage will vary.

Let's see how you all feel in a week.

Lyte, I'd say check out the demo if you can. The game is definitely good at what it does, but at first it was kind of harsh how different the game was. After checking out the demo and being disappointed, I just kind of stewed on it for a bit, and what I predicted would happen happened: the lack of good games in January got me to buy something I was considering skipping. But since my expectations had been lowered due to the demo, I was actually very pleased by the final product.

Basically, the best advice I can give is to pretend that Burnout isn't in the title.

As far as "seeing how we like it in a week," that is a valid point. I compared this game directly to Crackdown, which was the Best Thing Evar for a few days, but got boring once the exploration element dried up. I think the same thing may happen here.

You didn't ask me, nicca.

Also, my big complaint right now: No bodies in cars. I know, it is totally a nitpick, but when everything else in the game is so fucking detailed, the omission of people actually driving the fucking cars is pretty blatant.

bork · « **Reply #95 on:** January 24, 2008, 05:46:42 AM »

TVC, I guess I'll give it a try. I've never been a big Burnout fan in the first place, so the change doesn't bother me. I did like Midnight Club 3 a lot and would like to know how it compares to that game.

Yeah, January had shit for games, but next week is a big week. Over here, anyway.

I think you have a medical condition, because there is no such game as "Devil Kings 2."

And if you haven't played Basara 2, BEST BE SHOTTIN DE FOCK UP NOW.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #96 on:** January 24, 2008, 12:18:28 PM »

Seeing how I like it in a week isnt a valid point because while I have no attention span, I still like the games ive stopped playing. My opinions dont change often. It rox or sux 5 minutes in.

Unlocked a bunch of crap tonight. The upgrade of the Cavalry is badass. Also in this one race I (by accident) took one of the ramps on the double bridge half assed and my car did a fucking roll all the way up to the top level of the bridge and stuck the landing. So badass. I also got the roadster which is OMG handling on everything but the wide turns.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #99 on:** January 26, 2008, 01:51:38 AM »

I'm travling now, but I'm really looking forward to this when I get home. It seems like more dumb Burnout fun. And given that I skipped the last 3 or 4 iterations of the series, I'm up for it.

So far its pretty easy I think, i've lost one even so far and takedowns are as easy as they were in legends, we'll see if this chanes are car classes improve

I've never heard anyone using the stick for acceleration/brakes. That's interesting.
