User blog:Azelfland/Top 5 R&Ds in Asphalt 8 that have the best pre-race quotes

two top 5s in a row, baby! man, i'm on fire today!

now, we all that before the race in R&Ds, there's always a pre-race quote that makes it more interesting. and let me tell you, while the difficulty in R&Ds varies, Gameloft sure can make some very creative quotes out of those R&Ds. now, this top 5 is here mostly because i saw Feuerrm's comment on the official article of the Huayra BC R&D quotes -which i'll talk about later- and got me thinking: "this might make for an interesting top 5".

so, here are the top 5 R&Ds i think that have the best pre-race quotes in the game. keep in mind that these are strictly my opinions and opinions may differ. let's get to it.

Number 5: the Lotus Evora Sport 410 R&D.
in the number 5 spot, we have the Lotus Evora Sport 410 R&D. while the R&D was easy, the quotes just so happened to be very good. in the beginning, Gameloft kept it simple in labs 1 and 2. in fact, the one i loved the most is the quote about the 0.01% reduction of the weight. i snickered a bit at first, but that definitely made me laugh the second time i read it. so, here's an "Asphalt stories" representation of that quote:

staff member: so, for the next test, we reduced the Evora's weight by 0.01%.:)

Me: *rolls on the floor laughing his ass off* 0.01%?! SERIOUSLY?!XD *keeps laughing*

staff member: why are you laughing? this is serious matter.:I

Me: because the only way to make a car get to its top speed faster is by upgrading the acceleration.XD *keeps laughing*

staff member: ahem.>:I

Me: *gets up* okay. i'm sorry. i couldn't resist. i'll just get to it now. man, i cried out of laughter right now.:')

still, it's an awesome quote. lab 3, however, is where the creativity comes in. rhymes on every single pre-race quote. but the reason i put it in the number 5 spot is because i was disappointed that lab 4's quotes weren't as awesome as lab 3's quotes.

Number 4: the BMW S 1000 RR R&D.
in the number 4 spot, we have one of the most recent R&Ds, the BMW S 1000 RR R&D. while the R&D was a little hard, the quotes were no different. now, i kind of like the quotes, because they go from simple to slightly scary. still, the quotes are so interesting and they're very cool, as well. BUT the next R&D's quotes are much better than this one.

Number 3: the BMW 3.0 CSL Hommage R&D.
in the number 3 spot, we have the Hommage R&D. now, for this one, Gameloft kept it simple. and i actually like simple things in real life and videogames. now, i actually like the quotes, because of how awesome they are, even though the quotes are simple. i mostly liked the "insurance guy" part and the fact that you race in French Guiana, even though you're in Munich. also, that part when the staff realized that they could've gotten the blueprints for its descendant if they asked BMW in the first place makes you want to play the facepalm scene from Naked Gun. on tests 45 to 49, i like how they want to test you to the limit, so you can get ready to face the AI, which is a 1975 CSL disguised as the 2015 Hommage. very funny logic if i may say so myself.

Number 2: the Pagani Huayra BC R&D.
in the number 2 spot, we have another one of the most recent R&Ds, the Huayra BC R&D. this R&D............ i feel like Gameloft went all out to make this R&D difficult AND have awesome quotes. so, basically, i felt like each lab was different from the other, which is a good thing. now, here's how i would represent them: i know that these representations seem a little crazy and won't believe me on this one, but that is how i imagine it. also, i love how the drift gate test in Barcelona has a fake "technical difficulties" text. it's very funny. it reminds me of episode 4 of season 1 of One Punch Man, where Speed of Sound Sonic lands on Saitama's fist with his groin and then leads to a fake "technical difficulties" screen. it never fails to amuse me to this day.
 * Lab 1 would have to be Vivendi in a nutshell. they want to kill you and they taunt you by saying that you won't make it.
 * Lab 2 is LITERALLY lightheaded. nuff said.
 * Lab 3................. i would say that they're frightened of Lab 1.
 * and finally, Lab 4 is Gameloft. after test 55, however, Lab 4 (Gameloft) gets taken over by Lab 1 (Vivendi) and we, the players, have to stop their (Vivendi's) mischief.

now it's time for the number 1 spot.

Number 1: the Audi R8 E-Tron Special Edition R&D.
this R&D, in my opinion, has the best pre-race quotes of any R&D in the entire game. in fact, i love how the plot wist of the R&D was foreshadowed. this R&D made you think that you were going through a normal R&D, but somehow, you were working with the bad guys without ever knowing the truth. on the beginning of lab 4, you are told that you work for the conglomerate head. but then, after you beat the second to last AI and after you complete test 45, the true intentions of the Conglomerate are revealed, as they wanted to use the AI for their evil purposes. on the final race against the AI, it's all or nothing. if you win, you'll save the world. if you lose, the world is doomed. during my run on this R&D, i didn't see that plot twist coming. and to top it all off, in my "Asphalt stories" series, i make it canon that the Conglomerate goes down after i win the final race against the AI, the buyers leave, seeing the AI as a rip-off and then the Conglomerate head dies in a very gruesome way. and by "gruesome", i mean Texas Chainsaw Massacre gruesome. i predict that someone will say: "says the guy who makes fanfictions of this game". even though i roasted myself just with that prediction right now. wow. way to finish a top 5 back there.

End of the top 5.
and that's it for this top 5. let me know which R&Ds YOU think have the best pre-race quotes in the game.

until next time.
