User blog:Azelfland/My top 5 unpopular opinions about Asphalt 8

even though i'm banned for a week or two -and for no reason whatsoever-, that won't stop me from making my blogs.

everyone has thoughts and opinions about different things and that's a very good thing. Asphalt 8 is no exception when it comes to opinions. just imagine how boring the world would be if we all had the same opinions. so, today, i thought of expessing my unpopular opinions i have in Asphalt 8 (oh, god, you guys are gonna hate me for this).

so, here are my top 5 unpopular opinions in Asphalt 8. keep in mind that these are strictly my opinions and opinions may differ. so, let's get to it.

Number 5: i like all the Porsches.
when the Porsche update came out, i was hyped, like everyone else. we all knew EA's contract with Porsche would be over and that Gameloft would eventually get the rights to Porsche in Asphalt. and everyone complains about how the Porsches aren't even useful.

not every update needs a new king, you know. the Porsches also have their uses. the 959 is good in low-ranked multiplayer and for farming, the Cayman GT4 has its season 9 race for farming, the 911 GT3 RS gives you 2 champion kit boxes on its mastery challenge 5 and the 918 Spyder with Weissach Package is a Vulcan alternative with its handling being buffed, as of the motorcycles update. the only Porsche that's absolute garbage and only gives 2 nitro starters on its mastery challenge 5 is the 718 Boxster S, but all the Porsches have their own collection and if you MAX them, you get a total of 1.1 million credtis through their regular and MAX collection. so, come on, guys. give the Porsches some love.

Number 4: i dislike the Hommage and the Camaro.
now, don't get me wrong. i like these two design-wise and performance-wise. i really do. but what makes me dislike them is two things. one, they're very common in multiplayer. and two, the drivers. specifically the Hommage drivers.

now, in the racing world, there is always the stereotype of BMW drivers driving like maniacs and crashing into anything they find. Gameloft put that stereotype to use on the Hommage, just to frustrate everyone that uses their MP4/8, TVR Sagaris or any other multiplayer car. crashing into anything you find won't get you the win. skill wins over speed, so using your skills is key.

same goes for the Camaro, only Camaro drivers are more chilling than Hommage drivers. i mean, seriously. i know that the stereotype i mentioned earlier includes the Camaro drivers, but the Camaro drivers use skill more often than speed.

that's all. on to the number 3 spot.

Number 3:  the blueprint, multiplayer and Elite Car systems don't bother me that much.
a lot of people hate these systems a lot and i don't know why. now, if you read up till this point, i don't mind about those systems at all. and before you burst your anger on me, let me explain.

first of all, the blueprint system was made to get some of the cars without spending credits or tokens, which isn't really as bad as everyone says. you just have to be patient.

second, the Elite Car system is used on some of the cars, just to make them overpowered. some cars can implement the system correctly, making them very awesome. other cars, however......... are absolute crap. again, it takes patience and strategy to master those.

and third, the multiplayer system isn't that bad. sure, everyone, including me, wish for better matchmaking, but really. is that such a bad thing?............ okay, maybe a bit, because some cars, like the Vulcan, can have matchmaking with MP4-31s and other Vulcans. also, the ticket system isn't really tht bad. if you run out of tickets, you can simply go for some free races or take a break. simple as that.

this shows how i don't mind about anything that Gameloft throws at me. yet a lot of players act like a bunch of 8-year olds.

Number 2: i have a love/hate relationship with the Dodge Dart.
some people like the Dodge Dart. others hate it. to me, it's the neutral side and here's why.

now, i love AND hate the Dodge Dart. i love it, because, despite being terrible, it competes very well and has a decent usage in career. heck, you can even beat all the D class career events with it. i know i trash talked about it a lot -see my "top 10 worst cars in Asphalt 8"-, but TheGoldenThunder helped me sort of understand how valuable this car is. also, it's the cheapest car to MAX PRO.

and i hate it, because the memes are too much to handle. why do people think that this car is the king of the game, i'll never know. and because i trash talk about it for no reason. but seriously. the memes get to the point that are no longer funny....... unless you watched Monty's "pics and memes related to Aspahlt 8" series.

pretty sure that i might trigger Dodge Dart fans but again, i'm on the neutral side of this car. and TheGoldenThunder if you're reading this, i'm sorry for triggering you.

Number 1: Iceland and Tokyo aretwo of my favorite race tracks.
here it is. my number 1 unpopular opinion.

now, a lot of people hate Iceland and Tokyo, because of the 2-lap races and the boredom. to me, that's not the case.

Iceland is known to be the hardest race track in the game. and you know what? i would love a really good challenge, so i'm fine with that. an intense multiplayer race should be really good, no matter how long it takes.

as for Tokyo, it's straight up amazing design-wise. sure, it's a straight-forward track with few turns, but to me, it's fun to look at. you have to appreciate the hard work Gameloft put to design the race tracks.

COME AT ME, HATERS!

End of the top 5.
so, those were my top 5 unpopular opinions. hopefully i'm not dead by tommorw. also, let me know in the comments below if you have any unpopular opinions in the game.

until next time.
