Thanks dudes, next time I will RTFM. (The fact that most slices of deli turkey are thicker turned me off a bit.)

The highways. There are 4 events on the highway. One is near the first junk yard, one is near the country club, and the other two are right next to each other (highway directions aren't connected) on the western side of the highway (almost directly north of the southern most junk yard). Apparently toll booths count as stop lights in Paradise City... took me forever to find the last few events because I kept looking for spot lights seeing as that is where the game said ALL the events started...

Damn it, I'm like poring through my library to try and scrounge up enough junk to buy this.
Damn you all.

Enjoying the competitive aspects of gaming and appreciating achievements has nothing to do with your maturity level. I'd say most of the people in this forum are at least in there mid 20s and have "more important things to bitch about" but many still like unlocking achievements and bragging about them even if no one else really cares. That's why people are in this very thread posting about impressive things they've done in this game. Not everyone values achievements the same but I can assure you that the value one places on achievements has nothing to do with age.
Hay thar guys! Gamefly is officially on my shit list. I waited 5 days for the game to get here. I got home last night, no game, and I was off to Target. I blame this thread for the chubby I had iin my pants when I opened that sexy little box. The game rocks, and I want to play online with those with he 360 version. Call me old fashioned, but I'm so set in my ways and used to XBL that I went with that version. I'll buy DMC4 for my PS3 just to make her happy.

So what's the deal with the country club? Is there anywhere where I can get into it or is it just a landmark behind a fence?
And i finally found out what car parks are for. I never actually knew you could go into them, less alone there being a ton of sweet ramps (which are hard to jump off of with so little space). Thanks for that info, DJ Atomica! /not

Do any of you guys know if you can join a friends game in the PS3 version without being invited? Because I lost connection to a match with a couple of guys a few minutes ago and I couldn't find any "Join Session In Progress" type of thing, and it was pretty annoying since we were doing some challenges.

BB Grade: Awesome!
Although I'm still just wandering the city aimlessly, taking part in the occasional race or mission or whatever, the Smash Zones are absolutely Crackdown-level addictive. And I love a game where the awesomeness of the graphics complements the gameplay. To wit, I saw one of those Takedown To Own cars skid onto the street I was driving on like three blocks away. That is fucking next gen. And HD. And awesome.
It took me a little while (and a few lost races) to figure how directions and compass worked but once I did that, I was smooth sailing. Because the awesome build and design of the city, there are some amazingly vivid takedowns you can get. I shot one motherfucker off the fucking overpass into street below in this fucking amazing Space Opera of downness.
Haven't tried any online (sorry, Robut) so I know I've only scratched the surface. The best 8 Old Games I'd Never Play Again I've ever spent!

nah, he kicked my ass pretty thoroughly
the only other person in the room was ranked 84.
i played with the 54th ranked guy who was real nice, said the previous #1 guy had to get a new gamertag, and now he's ranked 5.
WHERE DO YOU FIND THE TIME
in any case, being that you get points for every race you finish anyway, it's not so much a matter of being awesome, more a matter of playing all the fucking time

You have to enter showtime by pressing L1+R1 (PS3, same thing with different name on the 360) on pretty much any street. Online it's available all the time, but offline you have to win (or was it just compete?) 4 events before you can enter, at least it said something like that either on the manual or heard it from atomica.

The Walmart car is ridiculous. It is unbelievably fast and it sucks to the road like no other car. You can take just about any corner at full speed. They must have given them a huge chunk of change to put their name on that beast. I'm flying through the racing events for my Elite license.

Agreed. I love it. It's very easy to wreck, but man does that thing go. I just about pooped my britches when I saw it. Didn't expect something like that in Burnout (even though it wouldn't be the first time).
Anyway, I'll be starting up a PS3 burnout room in an hour or so if anyone wants to join. My psn name is WHOAguitarninja so send me a friend request and I'll drop you an invite when I start it up.

I'm at 350 now and while they aren't too difficult to find yet, I know it is going to be hell soon.
I did find all the Drive-Thrus and Car Parks finally. Those two events still elude me though. I've tried the freeways... :/

I've come to a full stop after 375. It's just insane.DoctorWho said:
As for events. Freeway is one. The other is check the three-way/merge like intersection. I stumbled on my last one like that, thinking it's like a merge section and didn't have lights.
Interesting observations: notice how some intersections didn't have lights? Could that be the elusive DLC locations that they will add in later?
Any point in ever using the SPEED cars? I can't find any so I've been sticking with agression.
In a race with a speed car if I'm boosting and a turn comes up so I have to drift, now I can't boost coming out of it and everyone passes me until I get my boost meter full again. If I get wrecked everyone passes me for a while until I get my boost meter full. Just doesn't seem worth it.

A tip for some that may not have noticed it. If you pause, cycle through the menus until you get an option that says "discovery", you can see where the bilboards, smashes, and jumps you're missing are (as in, what regoin...not where specifically). This helps alot.
Some of the later speed cars are very fast. Driving on the wrong side of the road also fills up the boost meter on speed cars much faster than other types. Also, why don't you boost while you're drifting? It's not any harder than boosting while not drifting.

Breaking and boosting can be done together...I think the only thing that'll cancel the boost is when you spin your car all the way around 180 degrees. 90 degree turns can definitely be done while boosting though.Bebpo said:
