So, I got Burnout Paradise when I got GTA 4 and played it once, found it awkward and hadnt picked it up since I've been playing GTA 4 too much.

I tried to play Burnout Paradise today. I found it far too difficult. I loved all the previous Burnouts, but now I crash if I hit a car? It's always been a fun game.

Additionally, now with the fad of "open worlds" for everything, I am completely lost. The complete lack of structure means that from the get go I am meant to keep a track of all the jumps etc? It's just too much for me.

Anyone else found it difficult to play?

Oh, and camera angle, I can't see where I'm going, it feels like the car is just going too fast.

Maybe it's just me. Sigh.

the camera is very annoying, i hold the right stick a little bit down to see where im going and even then im lost in those high speed races, and once your off the mains roads the trails take you too far away from the action

I love burnout paradise, but its a massive game. There is just so much content that you could keep playing it for months. Plus all the free updates they keep adding in.

but you should try playing it online, that’s where paradise really shines.

Nah, GTA is very scripted, you can venture outside if you want to, you're not just dumped in some massive world. Maybe if the whole camera thing could be sorted then it'd be easier to have a go, but being annoyed the whole time you're trying to work something out isnt a good start.

Try using the in car view then, but i honestly dont have any problems with the current camera system. Oh and in time you will learn the Map like you do in other sandbox games.

i thought the previous burnouts were better because there were different countries you could go to but paradise gets boring after a while cause it looks all the same

it would probably get better when they release the patch for it though

I know the Burnout Paradise game save is locked to your PSN account, but as long as you're only using it under that PSN account (e.g. copy it to your 2nd PS3, still logged in as PSN account) that's ok right?

But it won't work when you're using it under a different PSN account?

When you say event do you mean a race? Stunt Run? Marked Man? or Road rage?

Cause smashed are the yellow gate things you need to drive through and their are 400 to find.
