oh the memories, the burnout series definitely brings lots of nostalgia for me. While Burnout 3 was my first burnout (and I played every subsequent one after that), I felt Paradise was the one I loved the most. It was the first one to have introduced an open world for Burnout and it brought back many of the past cars (such as the Custom Coupe Ultimate from B3 but renamed as Hydros Techno). Aside from that, what sets it apart for me was the online challenges. It really encouraged all of us to work together in the lobby to complete various challenges. Some challenges such as the "every player jump over each other" challenges, it was almost like an orchestrated performance. Like, most of us back then didn't use voice chat, but we all understood the challenge and took turns lining ourselves up after the ramp for each other to jump over. God the memories, if only we could relive those times again where there were plenty of lobbies of people who are actually wanting to complete challenges / go for a cruise. And don't get me started on the music too, amazing soundtrack.. some of which still linger in my playlist which I listen to from time to time :)

Burnout 3 was also my first in the series! I loved the showtime events of Burnout 3, such mindless carnage. I played a bit of Revenge but it didn't grab me much, and ironically I bought Paradise at launch (360) and left it untouched for years. Then I returned to it and was gutted I left it so long! Absolutely agree regarding the challenges, too. We had a few 8 player ones where one or two people would really struggle, but the teamwork, advice, helping each other... What a blast! I never finished that achievement on the 360 and I regret it to this day, would've loved the double completion. Always crossing my fingers and hoping for another game to release.

I played this game to death back in the day on PS3, it was absolutely my most played game for a very long time, I played it from the day it came out to the day the servers for online finally shut down. Getting the Jansen P12 Diamond was my proudest achievement for this game as beating all 500 Freeburn challenges is honestly a completely ridiculous task that I have no idea how my much younger self completed. So many of those challenges required 8 random players to cooperate! All told I clocked 2.4k hours in game on my main account. Thanks for the entertaining video, it does my heart some good to see Burnout Paradise talked about to this day :)

I actually never knew the Jansen P12 Diamond was thing despite completing the game twice - that's super impressive! I did the 8 player challenges on my playthrough and it was painful getting some of the slightly less skilled players to get some of the challenges done. I can't imagine doing that for 7, 6, 5, etc, too! It does my heart some good to know that occasionally someone like you stumbles on one of my videos, it certainly makes all the effort feel worth it. Thank you for the comment and I'm really happy you enjoyed the video!

Burnout 3 was where my love for the series started, I remember getting Paradise on the 360 at launch and not playing it for absolutely years though - finally gave it a proper go and regretted leaving it so long! That's the thing, spreading that progress over different systems and games will definitely slow things down, plus most people playing purely for fun won't quite hit the same types of progress an achievement/trophy hunter might! For sure, if another Burnout ever releases expect another video! Haha. Thanks for the lovely comment. :)

@EffigyXBL yeah huge fan of the burnout series.

I do really like this game but I highly advise to not use the DLC cars if the person doesnt know what they are doing. They are quite overkill but the issue is that you dont get the sense of the races going progressively faster as you get to know around Paradise City, especially the Carson GT Nighthawk is already one of the fastest cars in the game and there is another that can change modes on the fly. You will miss the roads a lot with them and the game will feel extra repetitive because, as I mention, the races dont get progressively faster. With the online modes I totaly get it to use these cars however. I am not saying that people should play "on hard" because the game is still easy if you dont use the DLC cars, but I think it is more enjoyable to play when the game gives the opportunity to learn the routes correctly instead of missing roads all the time because you relied on the fastest car possible.

@@EffigyXBL It is not given away though, only the DLC cars are from the start, which are enough to break the game balance. The original release had a fast pass option to purchase which did unlock everything. Thankfully even though the remaster has all DLC it doesnt bundle the fast pass, so the Paradise and Big Surf cars and the Bikes have to be unlocked as they should. What I advise is to play the game only with the cars intended to be played and avoid the Toys, the Cops and Robbers and especially the Legendary Cars.

@@TheRageLivesOn I dont know how you are comparing the game since the original and remastered versions have different achievements and trophies. The PS3 and PS4 Remaster versions have a lot of online trophies because, people dont remember that the PS3 didnt had trophies for quite a while, they were introduced on an update, unlike the 360 which the feature was released with the console. The issue with this is that trophies were not retroactive, so if you played and finished any game and it got updated with trophy support, you had to replay the entire game again to count. Criterion did tried to make the trophies retroactive but it didnt work, that is why it has a lot more online related trophies as opposed to the 360 and One Remastered versions which have more achievements tied to progression. I think the objective of the Remastered trophies and achievements were to not mess around so that people who already had the original release could gain them again without much effort. If you compare them on the same ecossystem they are the same.
