    Habakuk, sorry if I mixed up where I read the review. I just checked the app and realize I must have read it elsewhere. This is the main place I read reviews, hence my mistake.

    No problem at all, Mr. Grizzly. Mistakes are there to be corrected.

    The race is Tokyo, but in real life does it even exist? Also got it from the first screenie


    Not the long ones!


    A Habakuk is a cross between a duck, a baker and a hat.

    You're right. I never was in Tokyo so I can't tell if the road exists. Here you have the complete picture:

    Habakuk was a prophet, from which the name originates. But my person (or my nickname) is not interesting at all here.

    Game Impressions

    Try harder to provoke me. :)

    I told you before: Don't believe me. Believe untold thousands of gamers. Average iTunes/iOS U.S. App Store User Rating of Asphalt 7: Heat 4.50 out of 5 (4,076 votes). Asphalt is Gameloft's flagship game. I am not a huge Gameloft fanatic but this one they got absolutely right. Best iOS action game. Since A0. Blasphemy: Widely ignored by tA editors, misused as a running gag by (otherwise reputable) forum members.

    So sorry for being heavily off-topic. Rip93, please add me to your ignore list (it's in your user cp)! Finished with editing your on-topic posting? Okay:

    Congratulations! I can't claim that for me.

    Sorry but I'm just too lazy to open a "We played from number 1-8" thread buried in some sub-forum. But I would like to know more about those early versions (esp. 1–3 because I never had them) and I think it's fine when they are mentioned here with some short sentences then and when. The same is valid for some (few) other software platform comparisons of special features like local multiplayer.

    (Reading 1,500 postings once more, and once more backwards…) Sorry, Rippy. I couldn't find any "reviews or not of past installments" here.

    Yesss, Mr. Forum Sheriff/Deputy. To command! :cool: First some more quotings from your strictly on-topic posting:

    You're completely right. Did you know that already? I'm always glad when I find a new huge & dynamic screenshot of precious and absolutely amazing ghost/shadow racing results beween some (3–5, always the same) tA users. I know that's exactly the info that you're looking for. I just thought earlier: Would be good for a separate thread; but those shadow text screenies got rare in the last days.

    One last thing (for the time being, be prepared for even longer postings): You're giving pretty good advices here, Rip (as well as Paul202, VirtualBoyFreak and others; except when it comes to A7), esp. your payout comparisons article, but not everything what you say is true. Still driving the Peugeot in your A8 copy?

    Okay. That was my last off-topic word in this thread. Promised. :eek:

    Brand new & exclusive Asphalt 8: Airborne screenshot! Local multiplayer mode in London with Lamborghini Veneno. During barrel spinning between some bridges and bridges with gaps. So: Where to go now?

    [​IMG]

    Gameloft: You mixed up barrel spin and corkscrew in the German translation of Asphalt 8: Airborne. (And some minor other things, p.e. perfect run/perfect race.) Please correct that. Thanks in advance. Other than that it's very appreciated that most of the Gameloft games are multi-language. Listen, Rovio!

    Dude, your posts are far more legible and grammatically correct than 80% of other forum goers here.

    @Habakuk

    Not going to quote your post as it was massive long.

    Whats wrong with people posting up images of beating ghosts in A8 in an A8 thread? There are a number of people that post here that are very good at the game; Rip, KJ, Hoggy and others (sorry I forget names) and some of us, including me, find it enjoyable to beat their Ghosts and in turn watch them beat ours. And its fun to stick up a picture when its done, sort of like a trophy :D

    It is very similar to you posting exclusive pictures that are just are screenshots of a race you have been doing.

    I also dont mind talking about the previous games and how it compares to A8, but i don't think this is the place to rant again and again about the lack of coverage tA gave A7. Perhaps they didn't like it, perhaps they had no one that thought they could cover it well, there are lots of reasons it could have been missed - but its in the past. Get over it.

    Anyway no offence intended in this post, back to playing games!

    I said already that it's fine for a while. But not ten of those postings in a row maybe. I never complained but just mentioned it when Rippy complained about my "off-topic postings". Yes, they are on-topic, but they become a tiny bit boring after posting #100 of that kind. Very appropriate for a separate thread (like the "add me" thread)—with just some really remarkable results and records as a trophy here in the main thread. But I'm not the moderator here.

    And yes: Rip, Hoggy and others are very good at the game! Confirmed. (I'm reading all of their postings.) At least when it comes to ghost races. Other than those ghost race results don't tell anything about the online rank, the collected trophies, stars, unlocked seasons and bought cars & upgrades. So there is pretty limited info there. Rippy has beaten Hoggy. Okay.

    I'm trying to post screenshots that vary much. Showing different things of the gameplay. And I am not the only one.

    Sorry but I have been provoked. I know I'm easily to provoke sometimes.

    No. I won't get over that so soon. But I'll try to keep that out of that very thread from now on.

    That's always okay and the best thing you can do. I learned how to play Asphalt 8 local multiplayer against myself with three devices and writing blog and forum postings at the same time.

    (Just kiddding.)

    Good to know. Thanks! (Love to read your postings btw.)

    One of the best features in vBulletin forum software, believe me. Especially in so long threads when you're searching for a specific info.

    I don't need to ignore you!
    I simply do not understand...

    Why you talk about Asphalt 6 in the Asphalt 7 Thread
    Why you talk about Asphalt 7 in the Asphalt 8 Thread

    -It's not that nobody reads your posts, it's just that just in Asphalt 8 threads alone, I have read over 500+ pages of posts so I tend to forget things ): Also I am more experienced with A8 than A6 or A7 since they were before my time with Gameloft, sadly!

    -Asking the community isn't a marketing gag, it's part of my job as Community Manager and also it's really fun to interact with players. I've learned a lot from reading these threads and I've shared that information with my co-workers! We love to see what you all are doing compared to how we are playing the game. I personally love this part of my job and think it's great I get to talk/answer and ask questions with you all!

    -I think adding a Smart Buying/Upgrading list would take out some of the experimentation from the game. A big part of Asphalt 8 is being able to buy and try out what cars you are interested in. If we laid out a linear path to completing the game, nobody would buy Car X, instead they would always just buy Car Y because that's the designated path. I understand wanting to know the most "credit efficient" way to complete the game, but putting that in the game seems like it'll dumb it down a lot. Do you all disagree?

    -I've already passed those things in your wish list, with others from this thread, along.

    If they do, they shouldn't be playing video games.

    Ahh now that you mention it I do remember you asking Paul. Doh, I should have looked a little further back! Oh well, like I said the three-day weekend made my brain derpy for a bit.

    Today, on my launch break, I will conquer that star challenge! Thanks for the tips <3
