I just remember a lot of falling off of edges in SSX and that being frustrating. I don't remember anything like that in SSX Tricky. Tricky was just fun.

I have never played one of those video pinball mashup games that didn't suck royally, but a friend of mine who's pretty much a pinball wizard seems excited by it. I think I'll wait for his impressions, though. For me those games are always killed by terrible physics and boring, repetitive gameplay.

I took my lottery $1 scratch off that I won $1 on from last week and bought 2 $1 tickets today and won $22. I'm going to quit while I'm up $20.

Well fuck you guys. I will probably buy SSX. You wore me down. I think my daughter may like it too since she seems to like racing games.

I was going to post another gif from Coming To America, but the fact that you mentioned your daughter in the post would make it feel snakey level inappropriate.

But think about what could happen if you buy 22 more lottery tickets! You'll be rolling around in MSRP digital games then!

Physics are good and it can get repetitive towards the end when you have to grind for gold and XP. But the main boards are good and don't wesr out there welcome except in just a couple places.
 
Dark Souls 2 update:

Finally got all the Hexes and Soceries trophies and now just need the last Pyromacy and Miracle then the plat will be mine.

I love trading boss souls for spells and badass weapons.

I might actually just get a $20 PSN card :)

 
Great deal on Burnout Paradise UE even if just for the DLC at $4.49, just make sure not to download Time Savers DLC as that auto-unlocks all the cars and spoils the fun. Big Surf Island adds like 30% extra space to the map with lots of jumps and most of the DLC cars have their own niche to fill. Also FYI, disc save games are not compatible with the PSN version of the game so if you sold off the disc you can't pick up where you left off with the PSN version.

I concur. I dont know if I have played one game for more hours than this one. My first save (prior to trophies) was over 100 hours. I put in another 100 plus hours after trophies were patched in and even more when Big Surf Island was released.

It was one of the first games I bought for my PS3 and the first one I played. I alternated between it and Uncharted 1 for the first month until I beat UC1, then I played Burnout Paradise for another 2 months straight until I platted it and played some of the free DLC. Then I played another game for a month, then gameshared the DLC and played it for another month and a half.

So what's the difference between Burnout and Need For Speed?

Well Need for Speed changes nearly every game, but Burnout Paradise is pure arcade racing fun. Zero story, just drive around the map finding and running through barricades and jump off of ramps. Then at every intersection you can stop and start a race. Some are regular races to the finish and other require you to "burnout" opponents. Its very arcadey so you can really rub and bump other cars and the scenery before you crash. A lot of the fun is just trying to find all the shortcuts with the ramps and barricades. After completing certain milestones you can get new and better cars as well.

Need for Speed Most Wanted was similar to Burnout Paradise, but most of the other Need for Speeds are just races.

It sounds like my kind of racing game, but the time commitment scares me. What kind of time do you think it takes if you do use the DLC to unlock all the cars?

I liked that it was an open world racer. You have the entire map to freeplay explore (and even when exploring out of races it has time trials for each street you are driving on and keeps track of your best time as well as when you beat the time on one of those players on your friends list) and then the races take place along a route on the existing map. With a tap of the directional pad you can be in multiplayer which seamlessly pulls you out of your game and into a mutliplayer match, but you start at the same location on the map as you were in your game. You can mess about just driving around and challenging each other via voice chat to make certain jumps or whatever or the host can start competitive events. Then with another flick of the d-pad your out of multiplayer and back in your world.

I don't know if you've ever played Red Dead Redemption Multiplayer, but it's a similar set-up to that in that you are dropped into the overworld and you can mess around or participate in events on the map.

Burnout is Hella fun, and there's like 97 trophies as well.

I'm tryiNG to checkout on the PS store website since I'm at work and need to purchase the last ps4 plus games anywho. I'm stuck in a constant loop of putting in my password and confirming my credit card info..annoying shit.

It is very time consuming as it took me well over 100 hours and I didnt even plat it. But I probably fuck ed around a lot. Owl seems to remember more detail than me so he may be better equipped to answer. But at $5 you wont get much more fun/$ than BP.

BP is also great for short bursts as none of the races take very long. Or you could just go for a drive looking for barricades and ramps.
