2. Everyone will observe forum etiquette.
Use common sense! Treat other members (even new ones) the same way you want to be treated (If you happen to a masochist, you're on the wrong site). This does not mean that you cannot get verbally medieval on someone's ass, however, you better have a damn good reason to having to resort to harsh language towards another member. Swearing like you were drunk is not acceptable at anytime. Trolling will eventually get you banned. If you must flame (and the flame is warranted), be smart, witty, and creative about it. Generally, you will never go wrong by being nice, mature, and polite to other users (yes the new ones too).
And no..."he insulted game x" is not a good enough excuse.
Off topic, but hypothetically;
If you're married to gaming, can insulting game Y (i.e. person X's "wife", in a sense) count as a warranting excuse?
Insulting someone's wife sure is a bad, bad thing?
This was just a small thought to take the edge of the debate itself

Didn't look like much of a debate until you and SecondLife engaged. HonestGamer and the others were just spewing nonsense.
I've just picked up the game today, and I haven't had the time to play it thoroughly, so I shall reserve my judgement of the game until a later time.
Although I will say this - the NFS series hasn't been the best in recent years, and unlike some I plan to take the removal of Black Box EA from the development to be a positive thing. Black Box has only made one epic racing game, and that's Burnout Paradise. They didn't do well with ProStreet, and Undercover came off as an unfinished product. I just hope the arrival of Slightly Mad Studios has made things better.
And yes, from what I've seen the ****pit view is a direct idea port from GRID, which was a direct idea port from Project Gotham Racing 4. The aggression/precision thing isn't a port from GRID, it's a new innovation. A lot of you really need to tone down the hot air and think before speaking.
Spewing nonsense?
Come-on, I just posted my preference...And who are you to label people?

GRID owns SHIFT.
As I see, NFS Shift failed to shine out. And GRID, is way better at every aspect, it just does not have Nitrous.
THIS is flaming.
And if you want to perceive me as someone parading around with two hot irons branding everyone as either "bad" or "good", then be my guest. I'm just pointing something out that's generally looked down upon here.

Ratings? Much of them are just plain money - EA pays they rate. Plain and simple. Game is good but not more. Something like 7/10. For grid fans - don't buy. For all other gamers - one of best PC racing game of the year ( before DIRT2 comes).
Lol.
Talking about prejudgement thanks to money from EA (which i think is pretty funny, since a lot of mags in Germany take a harsh look at EA Games and rate them down if they're too similar to the prequel like FIFA e.g.)
so if those mags here still rate it as good as grid or even better, then this has only to do with learning from the past mistakes and creating a nice game.
@ Slick: I find your lack of respect about other peoples opinions pretty embarassing. So i'm a noob cuz i don't like your favourite ? Nice thinking there in India.
