Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
[STEAM] Thread: CLOSE ME! DO IT!

For 5 bucks it's the best place to start, but it's not the best Burnout.
As far as Burnout goes for PC though, I'm pretty sure it's your only option anyway.
Which one is the best Burnout?
You might know me as D'Brickashaw on Steam.
On the other hand, Burnout Paradise is considered a departure from the franchise as a whole, so keep that in mind. There are Burnout fans that hate Burnout Paradise because it isn't like so-and-so Burnout game (and they have a point, because the other Burnout games have some unique gameplay elements that aren't represented in Burnout Paradise).
If you are new to Burnout and enjoy racing games, Burnout Paradise is a huge bang for your buck. You may be late to the party, but it's a fun racer that combines the best aspects of arcade racers in an open world environment.
And...
"TAKE ME DOWN TO THE PARADISE CITY WHERE THE GRASS IS GREEN AND THE GIRLS ARE PRETTY..." *crabwalks*
Yeah, I started playing Mass Effect a few years ago and it didn't really grab me, so I put it away for a while. I started playing it again about a year later and it absolutely hooked me. I intend to do a second playthrough one day.
"In previous Burnout games, "Crash Mode", was a dedicated mode in which players were given scenarios in which to cause the biggest crash. In Burnout Paradise, "Crash Mode", now called "Showtime", can be initiated at any time and place in the game. Showtime does differ from the previous incarnation of Crash Mode being that instead of crashing into a busy intersection and watching a crash play out, Showtime has you bounce the vehicle around for as long as possible to gain points."
On the one hand, you lose the scenarios. On the other hand, you can initiate a huge crash at any time in the city, which can be more entertaining. You get more Showtime points for combo'ing crashes longer, extending the time of the crash. It can get pretty ridiculous.
That's strange, I've been using Procaster for years without such limitations, and I haven't paid a cent. Xsplit is supposed to be in beta mode, so you should be able to stream directly from it without issue.
dxtory is pay, but it does have some free features .

Takedown. Like someone else said Paradise would be a lot better if they didn't depart from the other Burnout games and get rid of crash mode.
But Paradise is still good. And for 5 bucks it's a no brainer.
Nope sorry. I'm sure in the fine print somewhere Newell service excludes DLC.
Not too mention serving the Newell never ends.
EDIT: Maybe "much" is too extreme, but my replay showed me 5.95, and my leaderboard time is 5.65. Is that supposed to happen?
EDIT 2: OK maybe it's my replays that are whacky. There's some odd slowdown happening during them, maybe that's the issue.
I'm seriously considering playing through ME1 and 2 again while waiting for a ME3 sale on Origin, but considering I just today hooked my PC up to my TV, I'm kinda put off by the fact that neither of them apparently have controller support. Which just seems bizarre, considering they're 360 games.

Ok I was wrong, Procaster is not giving me the 10 session thing, I THINK it was another one I tried. Thanks for your help. Now to figure out why I have two accounts and passwords for LiveStream since they seem to have 2 versions of their site now?

Also strange considering the amount of mouse acceleration present in all three of them. Chalk it up to Bioware's foresight I do suppose.
Origin is the exact same as my Steam, in case you're needing a Support or Assault in BF3.
Might have accidentally signed up on the beta part of the site which may be treated differently than the regular one. Glad to hear it's working though!

Also you need to keep looking at your map to figure out where you're meant to go. Also I don't like shortcuts, I like races. Also I always liked the marathon races, which Paradise doesn't have. Also it has the most rubberbanding of any racing game I've ever played. Also there's no easy 'retry race' option. Also I'm sure I could think of more if I'd played it within the last two years.
Thanks to Swashbuckler for the retaliatory class of Worms Reloaded! Haven't played worms for aaaaaaages.
"While the game was well received, some reviewers were disappointed that there was no option to restart a race or event.[54] Instead the player had to either fail the event, or cancel the race by bringing the vehicle to a stop for a few seconds, and then return to the specific place on the map to try that particular race or event again. Criterion responded to this criticism by stating that they don't feel that this is a problem and that adding a "retry" option would introduce loading screens, which they "hate with a passion".[65] Despite this, the option to restart an event was later added to the game via a free software update."
The UI was redesigned from the ground up for Mass Effects 2 and 3 to support keyboard and mouse.
Except for the use/sprint/cover button. That remained one button for reasons unknown.
Maybe, like I said I haven't played it for ages.
I kid of course. You could write a thesis comparing Takedown and Paradise. Both are excellent. Takedown is the more traditional, full Burnout experience.
This is similar to Exterminatus mode in Space Marine, right?

I have not played Space Marine.
Origin: Broncbuster
Maybe someone who's played both can answer.
Last Stand is you (+/- team-mates) against waves of enemies, seeing how long you can survive, and getting persistent unlocks as you do better, allowing you to last longer, etc.?
If so, then Exterminatus mode is similar, from a 3P Shooter / Meleeish point of view.

If it gets Xseed the $$$ to localize the rest of the Legend of Heroes TiTs series and the rest of Falcom's classics. I'll be happy.

Um, ok. It has...uh, cars what go fast.
....honestly, I just bought it earlier and I haven't played it yet. I fail at enabling.
