Oblivionz Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 You were able to pick up both this and Fable II, Joe? Nice. I'm renting a copy after school, and buying a copy of either this or Fable II at the end of the month. How much fun I have this weekend will be the decider. And Luke, I was hoping you still had some Gold left. TLC gave me a month code a couple days ago for a couple sessions sometime soon so I'll use that today whenever you pick up your copy.

gamesguru Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Just read the Gamesradar ezine (online magazine) special for Midnight Club. Check it out, as it's a good read: http://ezine.gamesradar.co.uk/ Can't wait to get this and Fable II on Monday . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Not bad, but some races are incredibly f*cking stressful. Take this one, for example. I was racing some dumb bimbo in a 2006 Solstice in single player, and I was in the default Nissan. Every single time I was able to get ahead of her, it didn't matter how far I was ahead of her, the bitch caught up to me in two seconds and PIT maneuvered me. I mean, every f*cking time. So by the end of the race, I had been beaten by a Solstice, Scirocco, and Golf. I was incredibly pissed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonThummel Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 What is the vehicular damage like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Not nearly as realistic as GTA IV's. But, that's to be expected, since it's an arcade racer. I finally beat Nikolai. It took me two tries, and on the second race I beat him, it was by two milleseconds. But I did it. I was super pissed off at the time though. If you don't believe me, ask Joe, we were in a private chat the whole time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackadder. Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Not nearly as realistic as GTA IV's. But, that's to be expected, since it's an arcade racer. Or you know, cause GTA IV has knockoff's and this has fully licensed cars. Won't be able to get this until sometime around Christmas. Bugger.

Hell No.. Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 I'll get it this weekend. Is it fast? And I mean faaaaast. Whoooosh!! Gotta love boost, that's what I look forward too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just lost 3 of my vehicles I wagered in a pinkslip because of one screw up before the finish line EVERY TIME FFS. I was about throw my TV out the window. Anyone played online yet? I went for a quick cruise online and I saw this one guy in a Lamborghini. I was wondering how he finished the game so fast or how he got the vehicle in the first place. He must got mad skills in driving. This actually happened the second day after this game was released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayC Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 I love this game. Truely is a pain in the bottom when you lose a race on the last corner which happens far too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oblivionz Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 I love this game but hate it so much at the same time. I've been butchered many times by slipups around the last corner or a dirty racer PIT maneuvering me every single time I catch up. Played online last night a bit with Pat and Joe though, I got a mitsubishi eclipse now and I'm slowly upgrading it, but it's looking good. Random screenshot I took last night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodgey. Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Picked this up yesterday and have to admit that it is a great game. The Niolai race pissed me off as i had to attempt it three thimes because i kept slamming on the last corner a few times, but got it eventually. Just love customising my vehicles, only got two cars aint bought any myself yet but im winning races so i cant complain. Plus on the PS3 side the trophies i find make me want to play this game more.

kokot Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 PLayed for the first time today and NOt really impressed.. 2 hours later I was back on GTA. The car handling is too arcade Ridge racer like, damage is hardly noticeable it ridiculous.. I don't care if they are licensed cars, so what.. I dunno what I expected... I guess it's the car handling that bothers me the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Democrab Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Pat, with how you were saying it was fast, you haven't seen ANYTHING yet. Racing on a bike in Cockpit view is like being on a rollercoaster, it makes it harder since everything turns when you do. (Since you lean) I'll have to upload a photo of my Eclipse, I just lost my Ducati motorbike to some bloke in a Mazda RX-8 because I spilled right before the finish, so I'll be winning that back soon.

Californian Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Car handling sucks, i rented this game for 5 nights and within 20 minutes playing it, i got bored, i traded it in for Saints Row (another gay ass game, too. SR2 were all rented out). I gently press the trigger to go at a normal speed, but the camera moves as if i'm going 130mph. The camera zooms in/out way too much. I hate that i can't like this game, because the trailers looks so good. /sigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally hate that camera and usually stick with the classic camera or the cool cockpit view. The handling is also meant to be very arcade like as well.

Ja750 Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 (edited) Took a few good pictures, but I'm not sure how to access them once I've uploaded them. On The Rockstar Social Club. Click Midnight Club LA Button, then click gallery. Only just started the game and I'm in love with it. Here's some Golf Pixels.

I was wondering how he finished the game so fast or how he got the vehicle in the first place. Probably has to much time on their hands . What's with the moaning about the 'Arcade Handling'? What do you expect, it's an 'Arcade Racer'! How dumb do you have to be to not realise that. It seems to me people who hate this game, go back to GTA IV, then get bored and Buy SR II; then those who think SR II is sh*t either go back to GTA IV again, or just sit there from being completely f*cked over by their own high standards; but hey, that's just my opinion.

Im enjoying this game the car roll effect is good when you turn corners, graphics load in a bit but im hoping this will be sorted out when we have the ability to save games to the HD.

yomomsmokes420 Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 (edited) I want this game so badly... I'm going to get it before I get my 360 back. I have a few questions, though. -Is the driving like previous MC's where you go into a drift every 2 seconds? I hated that -Is it really as hard as people make it out to be? -Are the AI traffic cars un-detailed boxes like they were in other games? -Has anyone gotten the R8 yet? I signed up for Social Club, I'm getting the R8 as soon as I can -Is the vinyl system like Forza 2's? Like are they all preset vinyls, or can you have many different layers, and manipulate their size/shape? Here's some random eye candy from R* Edit: Ho' Damn that's big! If it's too big anyone say so and it's gone. Don't quote this post. Edited October 27, 2008 by yomomsmokes420 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
