I really wanted to like Burnout Paradise, becuase I loved Burnout 3 and Revenge on my original Xbox. Also, I really do appreciate the fact that a company if giving away such high caliber updates for free just as a gift to the buyers of the game.
However....I've tolerated the whole free-roaming city thing, though I'm not a fan of it. I'm now over the fact that they totally ruined crash mode. But what I can't get is why make online so horribly unintuitive? Today is actually the first time I've attempted playing it online at all, so I can't really say what the update improves or makes worse. And okay, I could see how some people would want to drive around the city just randomly taking down friends. But uh, how the hell do you start a race, or marked man, or road rage online? There's no markers anywhere to do any events. And... even when I chose the race option, instead of Freeburn Online, it basically didn't do anything at all differently, so how exactly does the race start?
It really just makes no sense at all, the online options. Freeburn Online should be a secondary mode, not the main event.
