    Probably ten years ago enya was everywhere and very popular. I know nothing about that music and I know who she is, and have unintentionally heard her songs.

    And yes this game needs drafting so badly, how can they leave that out?

    Like if you were trapped there and wanted to
    "sail away, sail away, sail away..."
     
  8. I still don't get that, how did they do it? Remotely? In between updates?

    How can they change the timers only for a couple of hours. What if you are offline, how would your game know?

    Edit: if you know, let me know. Thanks!

    Edit 2: kenny didn't know, if anyone knows let me know

    RR3 in Aus is now a 3.5 star game. Yay! It is now back on par with Mad Tracks by Namco. Both have the same rating and both have cars. Let's see how these racing heavy weights battle for supremacy

    I had a few free minutes and I like to help.

    I think I tried that mad tracks game. Doesn't that have a massive paywall after a few minutes of play?

    The similarities are endless! EA would be stoked that RR3 is being compared to the mighty Mad Tracks. It's a tight battle. Tupac and Biggie comparisons will be drawn and deservedly so
     
  16. Okay, any help would be helpful! Thanks!

    Mad tracks? Never heard of it. Strange I thought people would be comparing RR3 with Asphalt 7, gotta watch a youtube of Mad Tracks you guys got me curious, even though I can't see the inapps or paywalls that you all are talking about.

    Hey peeps, have you had encounters where cars suddenly go much much slower on a section of a track? I am getting this ALL THE TIME on Southbank. Even with upgrading my car almost fully (the bmw is the only car I have upgraded, cause I want to 100% this championship) and doing lap times 4 seconds faster than the next best in clear air, I can only get 5th on Southbank in the Cup race in the first championship. It is impossible. Otherwise, I've got No1 in all the other events in that championship. This is the only one I want to complete, just to see the reward I'll get.

    The cars are just slowing down, and despite being much faster you cant do much. Barriers left right and centre.

    PS: I think the cars slow down out of nowhere because in real life, they actually crashed. But the stupid TSM doesnt ghost it out, and the cars only follow the racing line, so they brake on the racing line causing a traffic jam.

    Why Asphalt? Arcade vs Sim = Apple vs Orange.

    Btw, word has it Asphalt 8 has been "designed from the ground up" to be a freemium game, and it is coming late March 2013. Hardly surprising but I just hope no timers ;) (as long as it follows the same model in A7 I'm satisfied)

    Just to confirm. Mad Tracks is nothing like RR3. I was just being a jerk. A big dumb jerk

    Playing iOS games, duh.

    Wrong. As I stated in my previous post on this thread about this review from AppSpy, a 3 star review is horrible. The game would have been a 5 star review with ease. The IAP system is so intrusive that they are basing their review off of the gameplay AND the IAP, which demonstrates just how much of a cancer this wallet raper really is.

    (yes, I said wallet raper ;))

    Also, I consider AppSpy and Andrew's opinion very credible, whether they are one of the 'main' review sites or not.
