morning Blogster had a wicked game on Revenge last night, it was a bit of a let down as someon promised to play rank and then like a coward backed off, its not as if I play diffrently in ranked games, anyway it was fun all the same I got ramed through the bridge on the Mountain roughly 300yards from the finish and drove my car under neath it to win, Oh happy days!, Venom Breed showed up after a long absence, and I played a little Paradise with Chris and his Clan.
I am not a fan boy of Criterion (I thought it was a car in revenge) and I have not played every game they have made, I do not know what they are capable of and I do not care, but what I do know is that Burnout 3 Takedown is and was vise versa the best game I played online, but moving on with the times I went on to play Revenge which is not as good as 3, take downs are lame and to easy to acquire but I realise that they did this to keep the new people happy, there is not much to notice between both games, I never was that good at 3 and did not find the glitches (apart from boost start) I have have no idea what Boost Chaining or the elastic band thing as I have always driven oncoming and always drift on corners, what I have noticed so far with the two Burnout games that I have played is that if you crash it is not game over and there is point in carrying on, and believe me I crash a lot (damn walls jump in front of me) I did not like Road rage on 3 or Crash and its the same with Revenge, its simple for me I like going as fast as possible around a circuit, finding the shortest route, weaving in and out of traffic, leading people into cars, maintaining my speed and trying not to drop below the top speed of my car, what I have seen so far with Paradise is that it is nothing like Revenge or Takedown its moving away from racing the lack of speedo proves it, some people have mentioned that they have found an area of the map where there is no traffic and that they can get good drifts on them, Burnout has always been about street racing so what's the point in getting a 10,000 meter drift if the roads are empty, does it not take more skill to drift around cars, is it not more fun! It also has many jumps were you can do barrel rolls and 180, 360, and 540 degree turns Why? Why would I want to do that, after all the bitching about this boost chaining thingy they give you a garage where you can refill your boost meter!, does driving a battered car make it go slower (its hard to tell with out a speedo) the car you are given is apparently the slowest car in the full game so basically your not going to be able to see anything with the fast cars, its all going to be a blur!, power parking is easier than I thought it would be, I once compared Paradise to TDU how wrong was I, others have compared it to MM, I know see it a lot like NFS Carbon, heck if they put a driver in the seat it could almost be the next Ultimate Carnage (cant remember its first name it was that lame) of course the fan boys will defend their game and how it has moved on, but for me it has moved backwards, it no longer sticks out from the rest, it now blends in with them.
But after all this is just a small Demonstration of the game and not its full version so yeah I am going to say the The Demo bores me, it does not matter how many times I play its just the same hum drum for me, I want to love it but something is missing the passion is not there, I am still looking forwards to the full game thou and still have it on pre-order, after all I was wrong with skate

Finally Gave Paradise A Bit Of Time
Yup as the title says..... What am i to make of it? Truth is i dont want to make anything of it! Like you Bootle Mc Poodle all i wanna do is race: No Crash, No Raging and definately None of that showtime stuff. Ive said it somewhere else and i'll stick with it... Im reserving judgement on Burnout Paradise which means i dont agree or disagree with what you yourself Bootyglitchus Maximus or anybody else has said about it. All i want from a Burnout game is a laugh - to face massive oncoming, to scrap with buddies and go damn fast. Paradise will have these four desired elements in the game so i'll no doubt be happy but i'm still Revenge hardcore i guess.
As for Mr Glitchy, yes you finally cheated to win a Mountain race! Will i ever become king of the mountain if you are racing like a demon on there? Doubt it.
And the ranked thing well yeah i want to give the numbers away on the other tags so i can cancel them completely and just have this one. My philosophy on tags is changing so if you see a Serpo, Grrrrrr Baby or "im killing time" room open then jump in by all means, you can have some low rank very easily probably - you wont see them in the near future anyway.
