That's weird for an EA game, though post Autolog we probably won't get that anymore. Awesome all the same, means we can always play it
I might give it a crack tonight. Hopefully the download's not too big.

I don't think it is sim, certainly not in the hardcore sim category anyway!
It was fantastic fun at LANs etc.
Definitely not hardcore sim like Rfactor or something. With racing games I think you have to make the a lot of choices between fun/accessibility, and realism. If a game aims for more realism, it is further towards the sim spectrum. Classifying something as "arcade ______" says to me that the choices are aimed towards fun and accessibility and not towards realism. It's obviously a contiuum rather than definite buckets, but I don't think a racing game has to have loads of engine customisation or whatever to be a sim.
Probably just frame of reference then, we were also playing shit like GP Legends in that era....

Project Gotham Racing 4.
GP Legends was HARDCORE. Nearly made my parents computer burst into flames too, game was awesome.

ALSO POWERSLIDE.
I don't recall that game being particularly good...
Hey now, that game was dope.
Oh yay seems like ACIV is unoptimised as per usual with the AC series on PC, though with this one I am not surprised.

Best Burnout was Burnout Legends. Easily clocked 100+ hours into it
Is that the one on PSP?
That game is pretty great.
AC II and Brotherhood ran well for me.
I did hear that AC III was a shit show on PC though.
AC1/B ran ok (I say ok because although they ran fine they should have run better) for me too but they had their fair share of other problems, control pad, drm etc.
And AC3 was horrible, I didn't play much of it but I was getting dips in the fps with a pair of 780's :/

Fuck I hate people asking questions about buying something, after they have already made an offer.
Ask questions beforehand ffs.

Buy it on PS4 man!
It is indeed! So much fun. I'm pretty sure they still haven't patched it for Vita play

No brainer. AC always gets crappy ports on PC, and Playstation has always been the lead platform for development.
Protip: although the port is crappy they still run better on pc
edit: oh yeah,it also only cost me $19
Well..I finally pulled the pin and cancelled my ps4 preorder at JB. Well kind of...seems management has locked preorder refunds for now (as any cancellation means they get less stock). So all they could do is take my preorder number, not that I didn't want it and said come back after launch day for my refund. I guess day one stock really is tight.

Well, you got what you paid for
Well..that is interesting. It wasn't just a sales assistant spouting crap as they went and spoke to a couple of managers to work out how to handle it. Not that I really care...It was only a 20$ deposit anyway.
Well, you got what you paid for
I guess, so, the best version of the game, and because of their lack of effort I rewarded them with what they deserve
Yeah, I was expecting it to be much warmer by now.

Crikey, not a fan of the X1 UI. So damn cluttered and busy.
Yeah. I don't really like the metro interface on a tv.
BP and Crackdown (and Crackdown 2) are easily up there with best games of the generation. For me, Burnout Paradise is the game of all generations.

Bloody UPS, did not deliver it today either. Going to pick it up myself tomorrow from Tullamarine.

Unfuckingbelievable...just as I got off the call with UPS about picking it up, the bell rang.
I might go back and finish that series. Got bored in the third book and i hear it gets really boring in the middle of the series until Sanderson takes over.

lol like a fucking toaster.
I thought you already had Shadow Fall?
Get that thing up and streaming! I think you are meant to download the 1.5 patch to USB too.

1.5 was downloaded to a usb a weeks ago.
I'm going out to the suzuki night market right now, will play around with it later tonight.

Speaking of which, make sure you let me know how good Pinball Arcade is on there
Fuck you with your lack of PGR4.
I love ya, but I still don't quite get your love for BP. I think I've worked it out though, and that's that I compared it to previous Burnouts rather than on it's own. Possibly a big mistake.
Reckon you'd have the soundtrack to thank for that, boyo. Same reason I've given up hope of either Lumines (or even E4) appearing on PSNBuy it on PS4 man!
It is indeed! So much fun. I'm pretty sure they still haven't patched it for Vita play
Edit:
NEW AAC UPDATE IS NOW LIVE! NEW CHARACTER! WOO!

Yep. I have PGR3 and it's fantastic. PGR4 has been a bitch to hunt down for 360.
Yeah, absolutely. It's in the same vein as other Burnouts but it's a different beast entirely.

That would certainly be my opinion on the series. For some reason I kept reading despite being bored with it at around the same point you did. Eventually gave up midway through the 8th or 9th book. Would not recommend going back. Doesn't matter how good the last few are (I have my doubts) not worth the grind that is the rest of the series. Just read some other Sanderson books if you're that way inclined.
That's surprising... I thought it was pretty common and not difficult to get off eBay for cheap. Having said that, I've never actually looked for a copy of it on eBay. But it shouldn't be more than $10 or so
Edit: Hey, give this a crack
Only ever played a tiny amount, I got a 360 for Halo, Crackdown and not much else.
I haven't even plugged mine in for about 6 months now.
