Burnout 3!

Well, I mow my grandparent's lawn (slightly less than an acre) and since he's been working on it all summer, I mowed about half of it.  He still gives me $30 every week for sitting on his lawn tractor and cutting it that way, but that's fine with me :D
I also do stuff around the house for allowance.

I just spent $23 on 2 pre-used games about 2-3 weeks ago

ADDITION: After seeing videos of this game, the physics look like crap (losing half the car? not flipping over and over and over.... and over and over again? etc.), and it also runs way too unrealistically fast compared to how it should. This'll be one of the rentals for sure though.
 
Maybe I'm able to enjoy it more because I've never played the first two, but I just got Burnout 3 and it is fantastic! I played for about an hour and did a little bit of everything...racing, crashing, road rage, time tests, etc. It's a total blast. The physics probably aren't very realistic, but I find that it doesn't matter because I am enjoying myself so much. Besides, that's what you get with an arcade racer. ;)

If realism is what you want, wait for Gran Turismo 4 :p
 
I hate when you're in one of the crash modes and like you crash and traffic's really slow so you never get to use that bomb thing. I've had issues with that in some of the UK crash courses.
 
If they do not bring this out for the cube.... they are getting a nice letter from me.


ESPECIALLY if they tell me to buy the other systems.
It would be rage mode x 10000

BV, you know what you should do? You carry used systems to sell, right? Well just buy Burnout 3 for either PS2 or XBOX and then play it on one of those systems. :D You can tell people that you were testing the PS2 or XBOX out to make sure it worked. ;)

In all seriousness though, there's no other games that along with Burnout 3 would compel you to buy a PS2 or XBOX? I don't think EA will put it on the Cube.

I will not buy ANYTHING on the Ps2 or Xbox.
I mean that.

There is nothing else on any of the other systems that I have to have.... I can do without.  I am just ticked off they take B3 to the Xbox.... when (I believe) the Gamecube's B2 version outsold the Xbox's.

If Criterion were still involved.... it would be on the cube... yeah... like the Gamecube can't handle it or something.

EA really is starting to tick me off >:(

I always found EA to be a huge pain. Never liked 'em, even though some of the games are fun (this one for example. SSX 3 is also good). Yeah, I still stand that if a game is to be made on 2 consoles, it should be made on all of them - unless it's a game for 'Cube and GBA, which that's a different story cause they link together.
 
Back in PSX days :) they were a smaller more personal company back then i think.

I'm courous tho to the WHY they didn't make a port to the GC or PC
 
EA didn't like Nintendo to begin with. They held out for a long time on putting games on the NES. Trip Hawkins (who started at EA before creating 3DO) believed that the future of gaming was in the PC market. It took him a long time before he was willing to be one of Nintendo's licensees. It may just be that since Nintendo is not the big player any more that EA doesn't feel like they have to rely on Nintendo the way they did back in the NES days. Now it's more reversed...if EA were to pull its games from the Gamecube, Nintendo would be in trouble. The loss of Madden alone would cause a fuss.

I've been playing Burnout 3 and the single player, non-online aspect of it seems pretty robust. As far as I can tell, EA saying that they aren't putting it on the GC because of the online aspects is just a cop-out.
 
Online games get boring unless there games like fps or games where can help each other, where in this you just crash into each other. I think they must of had another reason to not put it on the cube.

EA is not my friend... I'll tell you that.

that is a cop-out.... a major one.

Honestly, only play still isn't a major factor for most people buying the game.

I'm ticked. >:(

Last night I did one event (a Grand Prix) and unlocked like 5 cars in under 20 minutes.

Perhaps the replay value is playing it online, because it seems like it won't take that long to unlock everything.

that sucks... as it took longer to play B2, didn't it?

Too bad they aren't bringing it to the Gamecube.
