Burnout: Ultimate Box dated, exclusive to PC in North America

Jan 17th 2009 6:30PM (Joystiq)
omg i can believe you whingers. Everyone who didnt buy this game because of minor complaints is a fool.

If you need to restart races so much maybe you should learn how to play the game properly and also learn how to press that back button ( pauses race so you can check map duhhhh)

If you cant handle this game without restarts i can even imagine how bad you would be at a racing sim. Probably smash into every corner? I lost about 3 events on the way to elite, one was a road rage that my car got wrecked.

2 hours to find an event? are you serious, i went from start to elite in 2-3 days and racing games are not my forte. It takes me about 2 secs to find an event they are at every intersection ffs!

Every complaint ive heard about this game is stupid and no one ever says anything about the real problems like traffic spawning on your bonnet.

People who say this is not a burnout game should try actually playing it. They will find that this is a burnout game, a great one if not the best and has all the burnout hallmarks except a true crash mode.

Funny how everyone who gets good at this game loves it, while everyone who cant go one street without wrecking says its no good, blaming the open world or lack of restart rather than their own lack of skill/patience. Maybe in the next burnout there will be a " hold x button to win race" option so all the A.d>d kids will love the game too.

Most ppl suck at this game until they learn the map and how to dodge the traffic, seems most people have too much a.d.d. to even learn a small map.



Honestly just learn the map, pause the race at the start to check which way is best, boost in speed car until you win, repeat until elite.

Anyone halfway decent at racing games will tell you how easy this games offline races are.

Silent Hill: Homecoming's Australian edits detailed

Jan 14th 2009 8:46PM (Joystiq Xbox)
yep i live in australia and hate the oflc with a passion but it would help if the game devs made the Us version region free so we could bypass the oflc idiots altogether.

yes in australia its still about 1955 with regard to alot of things. we are a laughing stock thanks to our ridiculously out of touch politicians.

Burnout Paradise: Say hello to the ECTO-1, General Lee and KITT 'parodies'

Jan 10th 2009 10:25PM (Joystiq Xbox)
I cant wait for the new dlc i love burnout paradise.

Also the "restart race" thing is dead. It only affects ppl when close to finishing your licence or if your not that good at the game. tip - when racing offline press pause to scope out the best route, cpu racers will be paused also and they rarely take the best way = easy money.

Or just do a different event after losing the race, each race will take you over to the other side. so if you lose a race - start another where you are after just losing and that race will end back near the event you originally wanted to retry.

You could also use the junkyard save exploit- save in your nearest junkyard before the race then you can reload near the race start if you bomb out.

The things that need to be fixed are the street lights at night and the whole traffic car spawning issues. And a no takedown zone for challenges, for people who want to actually get the challenges done some time this century.

Also - i hate the fog. I hate that fog so much. I would rather some rain so at least it would change up the gameplay (slippery racing) but i think that night/day cycle is enough.
