You can't call the game good just because it has a bunch of licensed tracks from the times you were young. And so what if somethings repetitive if it is fun. I can drive same track in dirt rally or crash team racing for hours but in burnout I get bored of the "track" after the first time because the driving model feels so bad.

no, very recently i had a nostalgia trip and wanted to hear more 00s era music and one of those days i went through i listened to all the burnout 3-5 soundtracks
Yes but vidya drunk driving is pure ludo. I have exceptionally fond BF3 memories of rping a rusky tank driver loaded on vodka while my buddy frantically tried to control the gunners seat

BF3 tanking was pretty fun TBQH. BF4 is unfortunately full of vehicle tryhards since the vehicles are so OP. literal 10000 hour ace pilots that will melt you across the map and go 100-0 in Conquest.
Have you tanked in BF5? IIRC the tanks were really well done in that game.

No sadly. BF3 is where I dropped out of the franchise.

to be fair I couldn't get into BF4 either. It's just not as fun as BF3, despite being techologically superior. BC2 and BF3 will remain the best Battlefields for me

BC2 was fantastic for what it was. I delighted in one-shotting people with the smoke grenades or shooting down helos with a tank cannon.

yeah it was the most "fun" based battlefield, with every single gun, gadget and tactic being effective but fairly balanced
Played it at the perfect age(early teens),loved it ,was a longtime fan of the series since I can remember Burnout 3-Revenge-Dominator
I thought it was the best one...
Until I replayed the other titles
3 is Burnout,its just perfect
Revenge is 3 but slightly worse
Dominator is 3 but worse with less budget
Paradise is still really good but not much better than Dominator ,super good,not perfect.
I bought this game as soon as I found out about it but completely forgot I had it, haven't had the itch for road rash in a while, I really should play it.
I've only played burnout paradise and I love it, I don't particularly like the stunt stuff and I'm not good at racing either but driving around and doing stuff was really fun even though the city wasn't very memorable and the cars were basically interchangeable.
What game should I play that's most like paradise but will have me branching out into better games? Or should I stick to paradise?
It plays great. If you like the game go for it. I dunno how much it's selling for now but I'd pick it up wherever it's cheapest since the servers are dead.
Damn, Driver SF was so fricking tight. You're right. Swapping between cars to set up crashes was tremendous and it's the last game that rocked the 70s style properly.
Blur is just alright, been playing it for an hour or so. I think Paradise scratches that itch where just driving around feels good better but now I need to go find Driver: SF because that was so fricking keyed.
Blur was the last great arcade racer, and im still pissed that it flopped.
OK mid is unfair, Blur is pretty fun, but I don't know why you guys are so into it. The driving feels alright, the structure of the races is good enough, but it doesn't have the atmosphere or the music that Burnout had.
Burnout Paradise is like Nuts and Bolts. A game that is actually really good but because it's different from it's predecessors everyone who wanted more of the same can only describe it as being shit because nuance doesn't exist. It's viewed as what it isn't instead of what it is.
this style of in game advertising is basically gone already. placing the add as an easily ignored but thematically appropriate object along the side of the road in a racing game? why bother when you can put them in the main menu and have them take up 60% of the screen?
it was mid
Nothing better has come out since.
that doesn't make it great, moron. the last GREAT arcade racer was burnout 3 takedown
infact i found paradise insufferable compared to takedown.
need for speed hot pursuit (2010)
need for speed most wanted (2012)
I've been playing the Hot Pursuit remaster and it's ok. The cars feel very heavy and unresponsive.
No, it was very disappointing compared to 3, and Forza Horizon does the open world racing genre better.
>Forza Horizon does the open world racing genre better
How so?
It's actually open world racing and not crash'n'burn Matchbox cars for autists.
>It's actually open world racing and not crash'n'burn Matchbox cars for autists.
But that's what I like. I'm not an Ganker sperg, no shade to them.
>not crash'n'burn Matchbox cars for autists
Uh oh Forza sisters... how do we respond?
Yeah. Except that's what people who liked Burnout want. This realism bullshit is boring and Need For Speed just fricking sucks.
More cars, more race variety, and there’s actually stuff to do in the open world besides drive to the next race.
No that was Blur and Split Second
>Split/Second
>$20 for a 15 year old game with a shit port
pass

That 30fps cap on split second is the most moronic thing ever. Who thought that was okay?
Thanks consoles
I liked hot pursuit 2010 too
It killed Burnout.
Making the gameplay of Burnout open world was a grave, grave mistake.
>*blocks your path*
Oh nice it's abandonware
https://www.myabandonware.com/game/blur-gls
Nice!
Is this even worth trying?
It's Mario Kart with real cars, of course
Paradise sucked due to it's map.
The map was trash but I also found the cars to lack distinctiveness, like the map it all just kinda blurred together.
Revenge > 3 >>> Paradise > 2 > 1
1 was my first PS2 game and I liked it though it probably holds up like shit now
Burnout 1 is basically a 1-1 rip-off from some random Japanese game. The franchise starts with 2
Dominator is criminally underrated
Legends is a great best of compilation

The music was pretty great. All racing games are inherently repetitive though.

if were just namedropping artists sure, but the choice of songs matters.
going back i had fond memories of 3 soundtrack as well, but actually going through the list recently there was only a handful of good songs.
revenge has far and away the best soundtrack in the series
>but the choice of songs matters.

I was about to make a burnout thread but this one will do. Thanks, OP
Something in the air has been making me wanna drive.
>has been making me wanna drive
to be fair IRL driving does not compare to videogame driving. IRL driving is boring as frick
You can drunk drive in vidya too. That's half the appeal of these simulator setups guys use.
>You can drunk drive in vidya too
IRL drunk driving is the stupidest shit you could do
Yes but vidya drunk driving is pure ludo. I have exceptionally fond BF3 memories of rping a rusky tank driver loaded on vodka while my buddy frantically tried to control the gunners seat

Parking lot and forest roads at night during winter.
>Parking lot
empty parking lot? for drifting and such?
>forest roads at night
I can see the appeal

unironically one of my favourite games

ftfy
>No visual mods
sigh
Motorstorm: Pacific Rift was better
It's not much of an arcade racer but damn is Road Redemption fun.
I bought this game as soon as I found out about it but completely forgot I had it, haven't had the itch for road rash in a while, I really should play it.
Got Blur running from the abandonware site on Lutris. Time to see if it doesn't suck. Thanks for the recommendation anons.
OK it's actually Mario Kart with real cars but it feels pretty good.
I've only played burnout paradise and I love it, I don't particularly like the stunt stuff and I'm not good at racing either but driving around and doing stuff was really fun even though the city wasn't very memorable and the cars were basically interchangeable.
What game should I play that's most like paradise but will have me branching out into better games? Or should I stick to paradise?
Is the remastered version on Steam worth picking up? I liked the PS3 version.
Also it seems not, since Motorstorm Apocalpse came out in 2011.
It plays great. If you like the game go for it. I dunno how much it's selling for now but I'd pick it up wherever it's cheapest since the servers are dead.
How is PC version?
Buttery smooth but I forgot how yellow the game was. Truly it was a dark time for gaming.
3 >>> Revenge
It's really good, but I think Driver SF might be better.
Damn, Driver SF was so fricking tight. You're right. Swapping between cars to set up crashes was tremendous and it's the last game that rocked the 70s style properly.
Burnout Paradise is not an arcade racer. It wastes your time going from mission to mission in a GTA openworld ffs
arcade racer refers to the style of the game, compared to the simulation racers like Gran Turismo
Blur is just alright, been playing it for an hour or so. I think Paradise scratches that itch where just driving around feels good better but now I need to go find Driver: SF because that was so fricking keyed.
Blur is stuck between actual combat racers and arcade racers.
Cel Damage was a lot more fun.
Combat racers died with couch gaming.
Hotshot Racing.
garbage
You certainly have garbage taste.
have fun rolling on unfinished indie shit, piggy
have fun being mentally moronic, special olympian
No, it was Blur. Burnout: Paradise was dogshit.
I'm playing Blur literally right now and it's mid.
OK mid is unfair, Blur is pretty fun, but I don't know why you guys are so into it. The driving feels alright, the structure of the races is good enough, but it doesn't have the atmosphere or the music that Burnout had.
Blur was the last great arcade racer, and im still pissed that it flopped.
DJ Atomica did nothing wrong
Burnout Paradise is like Nuts and Bolts. A game that is actually really good but because it's different from it's predecessors everyone who wanted more of the same can only describe it as being shit because nuance doesn't exist. It's viewed as what it isn't instead of what it is.
fun fact: burnout paradise was among the first video games to contain presidential campaign advertisements.
Have there ever been any others?
