Yeah I'm now down to 2 Stunt Run events (that I will never ever beat) and I've finished all the Time Road Rules and still just have the first two cars. Does anyone know when they should turn up?

All 500 online challenges? I guess that's a car I'll never see the light of. Trying to organise a room of 12 year old tossers to complete a coordinated task is hard enough without trying to do it 500 times.

Everytime I get pulled back in to BP, I get addicted all over again. I just spent 2hr30mins doing all the jumps, smashes and billboards, and it barely felt like it. Although Big Surf is smaller it feels much more dense with stuff.

Well, that's a shame. I cannot find the last smash. It has to be in Midtown, which isn't THAT big, but I've driven around there for like one hour and no luck yet!

Ah well, I will fire up some of those Freeburn challenges so I can try to find it while I play with my friends.

Gah, two billboards and 4 gates left. Fuck it.

Anyone checked if the Save Game Analyzer works with Big Surf Island yet? I don't have the option to test it right now.

This times infinity.

Got on around noon today my time, downloaded the update, finished 100%ing my bike license, started to work on getting all times at night since I had the day times when finally I was able to purchase my 100kb key (Insert roll eyes here)

Island is sweet, just sucks that all the smashing/billboards/ect has to be done in a car :( I was starting to like the bikes.

Fuck yeah!

I wish there was an achievement for it too. But the car is a start.

Not sure I'll ever use it though. I love my Carbon X12 too much.

Two Smashes, Two Billboards (both in Perren's Point and one of them I can see but can't work out how to get to yet) and two Mega Jumps to do. Time for a podcast on my headphones while I drive around very slowly looking for places I haven't been yet.

I just spent a great deal of time cruising Big Surf Island as well. It's great to have a whole new batch of smashes, billboards, and Super...um, I mean Mega Jumps just waiting to be conquered. It brings back the same sense of discovery that I had in the early weeks of Burnout Paradise.

Probably a really stupid question - got all the trophies except the 1st tour of the island one. What do I have to do to get that? Didn't play events yet...

That island is awesome. Some really insane jumps packed in such a small location. Almost caved and bought the DeLorean knockoff, but maybe another time.

Was playing online with my brother and noticed I couldnt choose a bike from the garage. Am I missing something, I downloaded the Bike pack awhile ago.

That's just what you need to do...play an Island Tour event.

That throwing stick stunt of yours has boomeranged on us.

I don't think you can switch to bikes while you're already in an online game, not sure.

My PS3 died a couple weeks ago and I lost my BP save, I don't feel like doing it all over again [not now anyway]. Anyone want to upload a save file that's got all the cars unlocked on the PS3 version? I haven't updated my BP yet so the trophy patch isn't there and I'm hoping this will allow me to use the save without any problems. thx

Fantastic DLC! Thanks Criterion. I've managed to get all the Island trophies bar the online challenges, and I doubt thats going to be too tough if I try soon.

Jumps are insane, the extra 'verticality' really enhances the experience. $12.99 Well spent. I think I'm going to put it down for the night though, I don't want to blow the newness all in one go.

Are we done with DLC now? I think the 1.90 is begging to be 2.00.

So what are the online challenges for the Island... are they going to be hard to do all 10?
Click to expand...
No, they are very easy. All ten can be done from 2 to 8 players.

I wished there were more challenges for this Island. They were pretty easy and I hope they put out more challenges for the Island in the near future.

Yeah, buyer's remorse set in not too long after driving around the island for a bit. Did a few events. Could be that I'm tired but uhhhh.. *shrugs*

Yeah, I was really tired. I went online and did a few random freeburn challenges.. AWESOME stuff. Hopefully I'll be able to knockout all 500...

Some of the Premium DLC [2 or 3 Toy Cars] are now free in the Island DLC? What about people who paid for those cars months ago?

Did i miss something? like, these being new Toy Cars not included in the Toy Cars DLC?

Unfortunately even though you can copy the save file for BP and upload it, it will only work with the original account it was made with, so downloading a save and trying to play it on your PSN account won't work (or that's how I remember it anyway), the other thing is you need a fresh save to get trophies an old save won't work.

Good grief Stunt Runs are HARD. I just suck at them so bad, I don't know how I will ever crack 300,000+ multiple times to clear them.

Take it slower. The thing to know is that the timer essentially freezes at 0 seconds if you're in the middle of a stunt. And you can keep a stunt going almost indefinitely if you tap the boost every few seconds.

Man I bought this game last week and I'm completly hooked.

Today I've played for 3 straight hours. Very few times I've played a game so much time non-stop. I just got my A license. Really cool. :D


BTW, I have to say that one of the reasons I have bought the game is because for more than a year I've kept hearing about it. I don't think I'll buy any of the DLC, but the fact that there's plenty of it and that it's pretty cool is the main reason why I've bought this game a year and a half after it was released.
