Yeah, I'm trying to integrate what they have right now into something that would let me just jump in. The game remembers the last car I used. In the majority of cases, that's my favourite car. So why do I need to go through and select it again? Select it by default and dump me in the junkyard, and I can change if I want. Maybe auto-skip to a car I bought if it's the first time I went in since buying it.crispyben said:
As to the second point - why can't I just play with everyone? If I have Cops and Robbers I can still play in games with people who don't. All players will have the data for the island, they just won't be able to access it if they haven't bought it. Just have a drive-through-style gate at the bridge that will let you through if you've bought the content but wrecks you if you haven't. Hell, that would probably even be a more powerful way to entice people to buy it than a menu option.
I guess there's a technical reason for this, surely server-side and maybe because of how the game could (not?) handle such a barrier... It would also make all Freeburn activities more complicated, as it would ruin Marked Man and Road Rage, and disbalance Stunt Runs, not to mention the issue of the BSI Challenges. Cops and Robbers has a few flaws in this regard (being taken down by somebody who does not play is a bummer), but none as big as those in my opinion.Willeth said:
It seems Criterion will rely on the new cars and the BSI badge to promote it online. True, everyone playing online will have BSI data on their hard drives with V1.9, but it doesn't look like they will follow in the steps of MC:LA and the South Central expansion DLC.
I hadn't thought of that, but it's easy enough to solve. Choose whether you want to use the whole map or just the original island when setting up an event. If you use the whole map, the ones who haven't bought it can't compete, but can still interact in a similar fashion to Cops and Robbers (which I actually like as a mechanic).crispyben said:

How's the Cops and Robbers DLC pack? I read from one place that it's a lot of fun and they said they highly recommend it, what's the general consensus on it? I might feel the need to buy Big Surf Island and Cops and Robbers tomorrow. 
Going to love the Island, just wish I could get the last trophy for my Platinum before it releases though :<
Also wish they would patch the game to only include the trophies for the DLC you have purchased. I'm sitting at 49% done for the game, but like I said, 1 trophy away from a platinum.

Cops and Robbers is awesome fun. It's exhilarating capturing the gold.
As Mar_ said, it's fun... for a while, at least for me. I don't feel the need to play it anymore, maybe because I have a lot on my hands IRL, but I enjoyed playing whan I did, even though I am really shit at takedowns, it appearsAdam Prime said:How's the Cops and Robbers DLC pack?

Let me guess, you're missing the Mugshot Trophy? Having the Trophies displayed like that is a Sony thing I think, and it promotes DLC... What's a percentage to you?rhfb said:

I went to GameStop and purchased a $3 used PlayStation 2 Eyecam thing. I actually use it now because it also serves a a microphone for me.

Having just bought paradise city, this certainly is irritating.
"This icon means im loading" (got it the first time, stop bugging me! "X")
"Do you want to go online?" (No, since this means it will load the browser - why does it ignore my ticking the "auto sign in" ? "X")
"Big title screen with inserted delay" (Just let me play already - I bought the game I know the title... "Start")
"Menu with stupid options" (Let me decide if I want to start a party in the game, I can access the store ingame which makes it's placement on the menu redundant "X on "enter paradise city"")
"Select car menu with inserted delays" (Just give me whatever car I was riding last time, and give me the choice to change if I want to! "X" "X" "X" "X")
This could all be reduced to:
"Loading" (Accepted, has to be done)
"Paradise city appears on screen with my car ready and automatically signed in" (Thank you)
EDIT: That came out a bit negative - I'm having a blast with the game, currently halfway through my A License. I'm not sure the open world concept is the perfect setting for burnout, but it is certainly nice to just roam around the city

Do we have any clues of what's coming up for Paradise after Big Surf Island ?
We had no annoucement from Criterion at E3 and now that Big Surf Island is just around the corner, it's time to look out for the future.

Wait, the PS2 camera also had a mic built in? I thought it was only the Eye.Adam Prime said:
EDIT: Really annoyed I have to wait until Sunday to pick this up. I have a decent shot at being one of the first to get all 500 challenges, but in four days that'll be gone completely.

What I meant was, it was like what he described as "the ideal" version before the patches.crispyben said:

Well, just impulse bought* this game yesterday, had fun playing it for an hour last night. Still a lot I need to learn, don't know what the hell I'm doing half the time. Favorite aspect is easily having a rival car tear past you and then having to hunt him down and crashing him to obtain that car. Such a smart feature.
I'm going to be playing this game a lot over the next 10 days before I leave on my trip, so if any PS3 users in this thread are playing it a lot too, add me over PSN: mikeworks
*and then proceeded to wait a friggin day to download it and install everything :lol

What's happening tomorrow?
Ya I'm missing the mugshot trophy. Haven't been to gamestop to see if they have a used eyetoy (doubt they do). I guess I was also missing the bike stuff, but I did most of those last night, trying to finish them up today before the DLC tomorrowcrispyben said:Let me guess, you're missing the Mugshot Trophy?

Need for Speed uh ? If it's Most-Wantedish, why not. If it's Criterion and Most-Wantedish, it's a must buy. But where's Black 2 ?

AlphaTwo00 said:
Seriously.
This would have to be one of the easiest things to do in the game. Stick around for a while and eventually you HAVE to get a challenge where everyone ends up at the baseball stadium. There are billions of them.
Are you guys just popping into a game then popping out 10 minutes later or something?
crispyben said:
Hmm... Any idea on which one is the 500 challenges one? I'm really looking forward to driving that around. It is the hardest thing to do in the game after all.
As for Criterion doing NFS. I think that's a shame. NFS hasn't been interesting for me for more than a decade. The last one I liked was NFS 2, which seems like 100 years ago.
Unless Criterion can do something good with the franchise...

As I said in the other thread, I would prefer if Criterion made a new Road Rash.AlphaTwo00 said:

I really have a feeling that the Bike pack was entirely a "trial run" for both EA and Criterion to see how Road Rash would work if it was attempted for Next Gen.Mar_ said:
Either way. I'm setting my alarm clock for 6 tomorrow (7 hours from now), and hopefully the content will be up on the 360 store, just like the other times.
