What's your PSN handle?xS1TH L0RDx said:
Well I guess I haven't played online enough, because every time I do try to do that (probably only 3 times now) there are always one or two players that are stubborn jackasses and/or mentally challenged.Blu_LED said:
I'm online right now if anyone wants to try for the wildcats baseball stadium trophy or just do some online challenges, btw.

Once I got my Burnout license, everything on my map reset and all of the races that had checkmarks reset themselves. I didn't exactly win every challenge/race, but still, WTF?
Is this like New Game+?

No.
Now you get to do everything over again to get your Elite Burnout license.

Nice. I am trying to 100% the regular game before I buy all of the extras and work on completing those.
Anyway, I upgrade to Elite in 117 wins. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

A GPS-like function.
I know i'd like it... "push "Back" and select an event on the map, then the small map to the right of the screen tells you where to turn to reach that event."

This has been talked about quite a bit in the early days of this thread. The whole navigation system. Yes, it eats the ass of a hairy man. But Criterion couldn't put a better system in due to patents or some such crap. I still find it hard to believe, but that's what they've said.
Bit of a long shot, but can anyone give me clues why I get disconnected a few seconds after joining any online game? Sometimes I just get disconnected from the Paradise servers, sometimes my router just resets itself and I lose LIVE for a minute or so. This is the only game this happens with - every other game I play online just fine.

No idea man, that doesn't sound right. It could be that the Burnout online stuff is a little janky due to the popularity of the island... But that's a bit of a long shot. I've never experienced problems unless they were doing maintenance on the servers.
I'm about to jump in with some friends in about 30mins. I'll see how I go. Haven't played the island yet.
Edit: I just got an error code while browsing the online store. It can't download thumbnails and shit. Maybe XBL is broken at the moment.

Just bumped the PSN online thread with an updated list of active members interested in online challenges and trophies.

Disc or PSN version? Do you have problems with other games?
Playstation Support wasn't very specific and only recommended solutions for all 8-digit error codes in the 800 series but maybe one of these will work for you.

I need the last Island achievement but of course doing events online with strangers is impossible.
Anyway, is the Criterion Network offline?

I'm all in for the Island freeburn challenges.
I also still need Win a game on the Robbers team, Win a best of five rounds game and Win a game driving the Watson R-turbo Roadster. Which is impossible to do with random strangers because they either don't play Cops n Robbers or the host doesn't start the game.

Just finished an epic 13 hour stint in BP. Played the island with a bunch of my friends and finished everything in it. Played some single player to finish everything else, then jumped online and played with some randoms. Finished the session with a few more friends joining for more billboard busting fun.
The island surprised me with how much content was in it. Billboards all over the damn place. However contrary to what it feels like when you first start. None of them a particular hard to figure out how to get. The gates and jumps likewise.
I was pretty disappointed with the 10 challenges they added though. When I first started playing the island a friend and I just drove around for a good while jumping and busting shit. Then started the challenges and realised all they really do is get you to do what you'd do when playing it randomly anyway. Like jump through the lighthouse, or the ski jump. No imagination went into the challenges at all and they are all incredibly easy. And therefore, somewhat boring.
Otherwise, I loved the content. Easily worth the 1000 Allards. The toy special cars as unlocks is a very nice addition too (I never bought the big versions of the cars).
The only problem I can think of is that during online play, there's not much reason to go to the island. There's nothing that can be routed through it, and going there just separates you from everyone else. I don't know if there's anything they could have done to make that better. Like more roads running through it or something. But right now with only one long bridge leading to it, there's just no reason to go there if you aren't there already.
But yeah, 13 hours worth of awesome.

I still don't understand the Friends tab in the Criterion Network website...
How can the game understand how many friends of in your 360 list played Paradise? only 1 friend is listed for me in the Criterion website, but i have at least 5-6 friends on 360 that played the game recently.

Cheat like a mofo. Use the Ikusa GT (I think) and go to the Baseball Stadium, send the car into a drift in the middle of the diamond and boost. The turning circle of the car should give you just enough room to not hit the sides and the drift will earn you Burnouts. It takes a while though.

Pre 1.5 patch - Boost in stadium and drift at the same time.Wizpig said:Any tips for "Boosting Around The World" [Burnout x20] ?
Post 1.5 patch - Looks like a speed car, oncoming, on the Highway, is your best bet.

Check this out.
Trueachievements.com is awesome with everything achievement related.
In short: pick up the Hydros Custom, start a Stunt event so there's less traffic around, and go straight ahead all the I-88 long always in oncoming traffic so the boost refills.
I did it on my second try, piece of cake.

In other news: 1250/1250 complete! Only thing left is the 500 challenges, that's going to take a while.
