ZeroXOF Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 I'll wait for more news to arise, I guess their moving forward with their digital utopia. This is absolutely ridiculous! What idiots, can't you see we don't want this forced upon us? Not being able to pause Rivals was the most retarded thing I've encountered in a video game. Completely idiotic. They mess up bad, I couldn't believe I paid £50 ($39) for that piece of..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neputyunu Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Is this still something that is a sticking point? How many people actually take thier PS4s offline, and if so, why? Personally Im just hating multiplayer. Thats all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malistix Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 (edited) Best to avoid these kind of games for a few weeks pick ip up cheaper later. Always online usually results in a crap week 1-4 experience after release. P.S: I hate playing multiplayer anyway so online is just a pain in the butt for me.

charlijaen Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Well... I'm not even surprised. That's what got me wondering... if EA announced this game to be online-only, there's no way they can take the servers down because as you said, the game would be absolutely unplayable, which would mean that EA cannot offer what we paid for. It wouldn't be the same as taking down the servers where MP is only part of the game. You just won this thread :DDDDDD You are wrong. EA can kill any game's online services with just a 30 day announcement of it. Actually, there are many games that are online only based and the servers got shutdown. The most known example on the PS3 is SOCOM CONFRONTATION, which is an online-only game and SONY shutdown its servers. The game is fully unplayable and the worst thing is that i've found that game recently in many retail shops (GAME) despite the fact that the game is useless now. Beware that from now to 10 or 15 years, this NFS game will be unplayable as well. I'll wait for more news to arise, I guess their moving forward with their digital utopia. They mess up bad, I couldn't believe I paid £50 ($39) for that piece of..... Hey, £50 are about $77 (USD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They sell it for like £3 or something in Game, it's a coaster, nothing more. I caught a guy in there not long back saying to his mate that it looked good, I had to butt in and tell him that the game doesn't work any more. And I was in Game to point out games I wanted for Christmas, before you ask - I wasn't paying their extortionate prices! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HcG Clawz Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Almost everyone here hating and im here like. I just want to play this game. I honestly don't really care about online only but the only thing that bothers me are if the servers are going down hope it will still be playable because this might be one of the best NFS games.

ilumixZ Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 I personally don't mind this being online only, games ain't all about trophies for me, i prefer the online aspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenpai Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 I personally don't mind this being online only, games ain't all about trophies for me, i prefer the online aspect. The problem isn't so much the trophies, it's the fact that you won't be able to play the game, even on single player, if: A - You have a bad connection or don't even have your console connected to the Internet B - If the servers are down or overloaded C - The servers eventually get shut down (in which case you will never be able to play it again) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a strange move by EA tbh, i'm fine with it but I can understand peoples frustration. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenpai Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 D - You don't have PS+ That too. Seriously, I'm more and more certain Internet connection capabilities were the worst thing that ever happened to console gaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As with many other things in life, it depends how it gets used. ...And EA refuses to learn from SimCity (2013 ...iirc) But basicly I think that internet on consoles is a good thing and Im not just saying it because Im writing currently on one. Alone because patches and because PSNP introduced me with nice people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alone because patches and because PSNP introduced me with nice people I guess. Then again, I never meant for that remark to be an objective complaint, just my own personal opinion. As someone that looks at gaming as a solitary activity, I find very little use for all of the new features. But I guess there was some good to the change, even if I'm not making a lot of use out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malligos Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Game's been out for over 2 weeks, and so far the only problems I've seen are the ridiculous AI, but that's it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slipknot_rooney Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 So if someone doesn't have an internet connection for whatever reason, you can't play this at all? Stuck at the main menu? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satoshi Ookami Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 (edited) So if someone doesn't have an internet connection for whatever reason, you can't play this at all? Stuck at the main menu? Most likely not even the main menu. I don't know how exactly this game works, but I suppose you either a ) are not able to start the game at all (because PS4 cannot confirm you are a PS+ member. b ) are able to start it, but it stops at online connection authentication that probably happens after you start the game.

Slipknot_rooney Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Spotted this on gamefaqs after a quick search: Online with psplus: play with others, see 'real' people drive around.Online without psplus: you play solo and only see AI drive aroundNot online: you cant play Not being able to play at all is a silly move, a week or two ago my broadband was down for 5 days, had I been playing NFS at the time, I'd have been pissed. My broadband has been down a few times since August so I may hold off on buying this for a while. Hopefully they release a patch that allows offline single player. I don't understand online only at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ_Radio Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 This would of fared much better if EA had instead brought in a couple online trophies that were easy to get, whereas the rest of the game would playable without an Internet connection. Since I'm stuck with slow DSL, doesn't look like I'll be playing this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
