Midnight Club: Los Angeles

[soniqstylz]

I know it's getting lost in the Dead Space/Far Cry 2/Little Big Planet/BioshockPS3 hype. but is anyone else picking this up?

[what]

I had it pre-ordered but the trailers haven't inspired me at all, so I cancelled. I'd rather wait to see what people think before blowing ?40 on it since money is pretty tight at the moment.

I'm gonna buy it as soon as i see it

I'm not a big racing fan but this one has my interest. I'm going to wait for the reviews to come out, but this is a buy if its anywhere north of an 8. Being able to race around my hometown in a game made by rockstar is all I really need to get into it.

[Rix]

So this is out today in america?

Anyone got it yet?

Probably won't be out until later this afternoon our time, but the first reviews I've seen have been really good.

It's suppose to be a good game, but I'm holding out for Need for Speed. NFS looks like its going to be the best game to hit the series ever. :)

So, finally got this in my rental queue yesterday, and I couldn't be more disappointed.

The controller layout sucks, but that could be fixed with one simple patch.

The game is highly disjointed, there's little continuity, and you don't feel like you're evolving through the game.

There's no sense of speed. According to the spedometer, as soon as I get through the first intersection I'm going over 50 mph, but it feels like about half that, meaning you feel like the car peaks at about 70.

It seems like Rockstar paid much much more attention to the storyline and the city design (which is pretty good) than to the actual racing aspect.

I enjoyed MC3:Dub Edition so much more. I'm gonna snag as many trophies as I can before sending it back this week, and happily go back to Burnout.

I picked it up a while ago, I like it. Don't think I got very far through the story, haven't been on it for a while (L4D, TF2, PS Home). Love driving around LA. It's got a pretty good soundtrack too (for the Rock/Metal tracks anyway).

[soniqstylz]

I didn't much like the soundtrack save a few songs, but that's a complete personal opinion thing. Wish they would've added custom soundtracks to the ps3 version.

Yeah, that would have been a really cool feature. :/

i personally love the sound track, but that's just opinion like you said. The game is pheonomal though, i love my skyline :)

[sn00pie]

The game gets boring and repetitive after two weeks. I'm just about to sell it and pickup NFS :p

[rajputwarrior]

^ you know need for speed sucks right?

[Ricardo Gil]

I've ordered it today from Play. For 25? I can't go wrong I guess.

[Corris Veteran]

Pssh, you just got it for the trophies, trophy ######! :p

[Saladas]

Maybe ill pick this up later, after picking up LBP, Fallout 3, L4D, Bioshock....

So many games, so little money :(

[soniqstylz]

Pssh, you just got it for the trophies, trophy ######! :p

Well, duh.

Actually, I played the crap out of Midnight Club 3: Dub Edition, and R* San Diego is one of the companies I'd like to apply to, so I was looking forward to this one.

Lol, Its not like I can judge really. :rofl:

[soniqstylz]

Judge all ye like, trophy slag.

Actually, I'm liking this a bit more as I go along. Still prefer Burnout, and Burnout would pwn this if it had a race restart instead of having to drive across town every time you lose, but MC:LA is growing on me a bit.

If cars are paid DLC, however, I'll be semi-****ed, because it's stupid to do that, but I won't care as much since I'll be long done with the game.

It has its issues but I played it for abit at a friends house and liked it. I actually ended up picking up NHL 09 and COD5 :p

[+John Teacake MVC]

I bought it for my sister. For Christmas. The trailers looked good.

good call with NHL, greatest sports game ever made.

[sn00pie]

I like it. It's a world ahead of 08' for sure :yes:

[Veedems Veteran]

Just bought this today. I turned off the camera shake because it was making me sick, but it's pretty good. Better than any recent free world Need for Speed and, thankfully, unlike Burnout, has markers so I don't get lost for every race.
