Popular Post Valkirye22 Posted December 12, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 12, 2022 So I gave up 5 hours into this game, objectively I don't like the handling model and feel the game as a downgrade from Heat, Rivals or NFS (reboot), having cops again is nice but not everything, and I just don't understand how going 110mph can feel so slow in a mostly urban environment - again, coming recently from Heat and GRID and someone who can fruitlessly hope something akin to NFS Hot Pursuit 2 ever comes out again. I don't expect Uncharted level storytelling from NFS but something remotely relatable? Or at the very least digestible. The setting, the 'lingo', conversations, 'characters', motivations, attempts at humor ffs... Same bs as Wolfestein Youngblood or Watch Dogs 2. I suppose the devs figured the average player is the type of person with Star Wars intro text on their Twitter bio or something. One can only hope TDU Solar Crown doesn't go full... whatever these games go for. Maybe also offer a slightest variety in music genres. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dw1986 Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 The same can be said of a lot of NFS games though, there's always been a lot of downright irritating characters. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eraezr Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 I didn't mind the lingo/personality style. It's mostly the music that's a super-turn off. I think I like only Tkay Maidza - Where Is My Mind? but the rest suck ass. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sn1per666999 Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 The first thing I did was turn off the music. 30 minutes later I turned voice down to 0. I have to say the game is better this way. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say the game is better this way. This is how I play most games. I'm playing Saints Row and had to turn off all licensed music. It's a shame that the same licensed music I mute will cause problems for the game's distribution down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluxcaa Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 Just don't buy this game, its the least Need For Speed a Need For Speed has ever been. The amount of garbage in this game is too long to list, i have never been so bored playing nfs before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, payback was great but i didnt wanna get off it as quick as i do with Unbound. Atleast there was some sort of story with Payback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atleast there was some sort of story with Payback I can honestly say I’ve never played NFS for the story. Yes the story in this game was god awful along with the voice acting but that’s to be expected IMO. The payback story was forgettable although taking out the club was admittedly fun. It just never “felt right” to me. Unbound is mostly a reskinned Heat but I loved Heat so I can’t really complain there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHAZAM_SAVAGE Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 The game is a bit cringe, I can't lie. For some reason I had a lot more fun with HEAT. My only gripe with story mode is how slow you progress. I wish you received cash a lot faster because you really will only have enough to build 2-3 cars and afford the buy ins for the Saturday events. Online, the 3 races per event has got to go. 3 races for $20K is awful, you have to really grind to buy and use the cars you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also don’t like locking cars behind challenges. I can’t win a Class S+ race because the regera requires you to complete NINETY RACES to unlock. Then you need to have the cash for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What made NFS Underground and U2 so awesome was you could just pick a car you want, max it out, and just play. Heat's payouts were enough where you could have many different cars.

Criterion will hopefully fix the economy with this months update. I really don’t want to give up hope on this game as the driving itself is very fun and building a car feels rewarding . Just wish they’d fix their Class System and pay a decent amount! $40-50k would even be a major improvement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found it to be equally as tedious as the previous ones in terms of collectibles and everything. It was actually easier because you only needed 3 stars on the road events and not to beat the rivals. The online trophies are the hardest part because it’s not super easy to boost, but I enjoyed building a car of each class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EWOKIAN Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 Just too many collectables for me that really add nothing to the game and are just slammed on there which is a shame. Worst NFS for me and that’s before talking about online Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValhoZero Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Honestly i really enjoy it. For me it's a way better Heat than....well Heat. I find the story way more enjoyable than Heat, the soundtrack is way better (imo) and slightly tweaked handling works better for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Bandicoot93 Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 For me the biggest dissapointment together with The Calisto Protocol last year. Im still thinking I got robbed with that overall 160€. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
