Need for Speed: Unbound

[Judo]

Got the game for 62 bucks as a loyalty discount. Still tap to brake, but you can tune it to not brake to drift via the handling tune menu. Your gonna be tweaking a lot with that menu. Cars look real good. The effects are growing on me. I really like the boost and nos feature. Press for boost, hold for nos. You can fill up both pretty quick if you play it smooth. Story is ok.
Man, the cops don't fukk around and I only reached level 3 heat so far. Add in the fact that if you get busted, you can lose all your money you earned, especially with the difficulty. Money is scarce with buy-ins and bets, so unless you go scattering around for collectables or challenges, you gonna need to spend it wisely. AI don't play either, but I chose mid difficulty to keep it balance this time around. Haven't tried multiplayer yet, but, you can tell criterion put some decent effort into it.

A lot of Twitch streamers, and YouTubers (who I watch) are actually loving the game. I like the art style, and it looks fun. Not $70 fun, but I’ll probably pick it up one day next year when there’s a drought.

I’m hopeful, but there hasn’t been a good NFS game since most wanted in 05. Put out trash for 17 years straight brehs.

Stop it rivals was good
So was Pro street
So was Shift and Shift 2

This is a really good game. Finally got some time to spend with it and it controls like a Criterion game, which means it controls stupid well. I like it a lot.

I haven’t played NFS since PS2 days, but imma cop this on sale, I’m hearing great things.

And I’m kinda getting that racing game itch I started losing when I discovered GTA

Been playing with it for the past couple hours.
This shyt is pretty dope.
Driving is super tight.

I have only played multiplayer since launch.

This game makes you earn cars. Not as Grindy as granturismo but it doesn’t give it away easily like forza

And then you want a different car for each race class not to mention the cost of upgrading parts.

Hearing nothing but good things about this. Probably going to cop

I never liked Need 4 Speed after underground. Why do developers keep making trash ass racing physics with the damn blur? And they all play the exact same, just tapping the e brake to slide

Whatever underground racing game come out with realistic driving physics will be the GOAT.

You didn’t like Most Wanted (the original)?! MW was the shyt

 

[FruitOfTheVale]

nikkas had the nerve to doubt Criterion they only made the best arcade racer of all time

EA games usually come to EA play after like 8 months or so.
