I've been playing the series in order. Burnout 3 was not only my favorite so far, but a heck of a daunting task. Some of these races took a day of trying over and over.
Just wanted to share my excitement. Thanks y'all! 😎🤙
I genuinely think Burnout is not only the best racing game series but also one of the top 5 game franchises in terms of how consistently good the titles are. I haven't played the First 2 but from 2004-2008 every single game is as vlose as you can get to perfection.
B3 introduced Takedowns, Impact Time and Crashbreaker. Has some of the best racing that I've played. Was tight and playing it on emulator felt like my face was coming off so I can only imagine what it was like in 2004.
Revenge tweaked the impact time camera, added traffic checking and crashbreaker to races and has arguably THE BEST crash mode in the series (That I've played). Races and handling are still tight and the tracks are even more aggressive than 3's and actually feel it is another rival that you have to deal with.
Paradise has the best crash physics and damage in any console game (excluding Wreckfest and Beam.ng). An open world that still holds up and rewards players for knowing the nooks and crannies to find a hidden jump, or the ramp to a billboard dangling over the street, just sublty suggesting to the player to look around. Some of the best verticality in a racing game.
Thank you to the devs for making this series what it is. My first game was Dominator and I played that so much that the PSP disc fell apart. Since I was 7, I have loved this series man.
Working as a diversion specialist at an agency for the unhoused community. I answer a family crisis line twice a week with the agency who makes my agency have the grant for my problem solving program. This is this most stable I’ve ever been in my life but I don’t know how to do keep up with this while in school for social work… I can’t only go to school part time and am starting to lose it a little bit with my own mental healthy from burnout. I might even need to take medical leave :( I don’t have a personal life outside of my relationship anymore. I need to finish school but the burnout is creative obstacles in my life… while my job is to remove obstacles for others. Advice?
Why do buses spin so easily? Such unexpected agility.
I sure know which mine is.
Burnout Revenge cars be like:
(I Absolutely like that the cars of that game are most like battle machines instead of common sports cars, fits as hell with the chaotic and absolute violence of the game)
well, see the success of Yuna, i have another Metal Musume android girl to show you guys: Choko, the Hunter Manhattan from Burnout Paradise!
Seriously, this run was so fucking fun!

Burnout destroyed something in my life I can never get back. What did it take from you?
I'm writing about what burnout actually costs people and I don't mean productivity. I mean the stuff that doesn't make it into the LinkedIn posts
The marriage that didn't survive it.
The kids who grew up while you were just trying to hold it together at work.
The parent you didn't visit enough because you had nothing left.
The friend who stopped calling because you cancelled one too many times.
The hospitalisation nobody at the office knew about.
The person you were before,who you genuinely can't remember how to be.
I want to hear from everyone. The 22-year-old who burned out before their career even started. The 45-year-old who lost their family quietly, over years. The nurse, the teacher, the tradie, the founder.
The person who thought they were fine until they weren't.
What did burnout take from you?

But please be honest, because the sanitised version of this story has already been told a thousand times, and it's not helping anyone.
