Secret: Blush isn't my last name. It's just what I do a lot. I'm German-Irish with very pale skin that enjoys turning red without informing me. It tends to give me away at times / let's people read me rather easily. Veronica is my first name, but I prefer to be called Onica by friends. I'm in my low 20's, born in NY, but I've spent most of my life in other countries. I've been back in the states for a few years though.
I've only played one driving game besides TDU, which was Forza 2. Around the 100 race mark I was so bored by having to drive the same tracks over and over that I started spending a lot of time in the designer. I think they call it a "Livery" for some reason. (Sounds like a body part factory to me.) I finished over 200 races and just couldn't take it anymore.
A friend mentioned this game and I'm so glad I was eventually able to find a working (used) copy. No manual or box. Not that they seem really necessary, but if it had come with a detailed map/poster I would have put it on a wall.
Mainly I like cruising around and goofing off more than racing. This game has some great scenery and I enjoy the cities sometimes as well. I just wish the camera didn't snap back or that I could get out of my car and walk around a bit. Oh, and I very much dislike how I'm transported back to the road when I wreck my bike into a tree after I've been off-roading for a while.
I really love the in-car / in-helmet views, and the little details like being able to roll down my windows, and change my clothes. Although the vehicles were really bad in Saints Row 2, I do miss the Cruise Control and think it would have been a great feature in this game.
I'm playing this on a 360, but I don't have xbox Live.
Other games I'm playing:
Wheelman
Ace Combat 6
Crackdown
Beautiful Katamari
H a l o (my first 1st-person shooter game)
Just Cause
And I'm a huge GTA fan, but not currently playing any of them. I couldn't get L&D without Live and after unlocking the 3rd island and last residence of IV, I became bored with it. Forced "Missions" don't really appeal to me. I just like to do my own thing and I want all options from the start - though I do enjoy goals. Which is one reason that SR2 is my all-time favorite game. 400+ hours on that one - before I started the 5th mission. My timer glitched around 300h and I don't know exactly how long I actually played it.
Well, that's a bit about me. And by now you've probably guessed that I like to type a little.
Cheers,
-Onica
