I thought I was done with speedrunning… Protip: don't ever follow the arrows. They always take you a super slow way. Click through and watch in 60fps. The game is really smooth.

Like there's much competition right now anyway…

I've professed my love for this franchise many times around these parts. If someone finds an extra code, I'll be extremely grateful.

Buggiest Beta I have ever played (reply)

Wait, what?

Unfortunately right now it's practically unplayable! All of the options keep randomly defaulting back to insane values (all audio at zero, controller sensitivity down to zero). There's clipping through walls and NPCs, broken animations, and graphical glitches.

Really awful showing so far. The technical problems render it unplayable. And I'm on a fucking console!

He's giving unlimited codes away! Git while the gitn's good! (reply)

I'm getting negative flashbacks from what happened to the burnout franchise.

Wait, wait. I thought I was the only one that thought Paradise was awful and that open-world was the worst thing to ever happen to Burnout.

Beta set for 22nd or 23rd (reply)

Cody Miller — Mon, 18 Apr 2016 23:42:10 +0000

Codes will be sent out the 22nd or 23rd.

I'm excited!

I agree with the reviewer missed the point of the game, but I sort of feel like the game did also. The first mirrors edge was basically a game where it taught you how to do things within its world and then the endgame was doing speed runs. I thought of it a lot like learning to play an instrument. If you have the patience and the dedication– And I did not –then you can do some virtuoso level stuff and feel really proud of it. For the plebeians like me sometimes you will get a brief glimpse of greatness through trying and good luck.

The open world game design works against this feeling, in my opinion. I know that I am a vocal opponent of open world gaming and this shows exactly the sort of problems that I have with it. He discovered a run and he got to the end and then if you wanted to try to better his time he had to traverse back to the starting line. What person who is working on improving that particular run wants to do that? Even if they paste in a "try again" button — destroying the verisimilitude that open world gamine are supposed to offer — who wants to schlep to the other starting line you are working on when you could just click a menu button?* I'm getting negative flashbacks from what happened to the burnout franchise.

* I assume the answer to my rhetorical questions is "people who like open world games, idiot."

I'm not convinced he knew what he was saying when he called it an open world game. I distrust much of what is said in this video.

Yeah, I saw that. Just not sure if I want to get Amazon Video just for that. I already have Netflix, Hulu, and HBO, and I already barely use those.

That's also why I watched the Hamster drive a classic Mustang through Argentina . . .

I miss Top Gear. ):

I totally watched the Reliant Robin review for the thorough and impartial review of the car.
