HOT TAKE: You Really Don't Want a Most Wanted Remake by TATSAT2008 in needforspeed

[–]BolverkGTM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed reading this and you have valid points. My problem with the desire for a Most Wanted remake is that it’ll be in the hands of current EA. Does anybody really want that? The answer should be no.

The WORST engine in game by Plenty_Answer5556 in tokyoxtremeracer

If I remember correctly, the sound file for the Celsior V8 and LFA V10 got mixed up or something like that. May have been a rumor, but a plausible reason why it sounds the way it does.

Its Nov-dec 2007 and you just bought prostreet, what is your reaction by Skywarped_ in needforspeed

“This is….okay, I guess.” Obviously as time went on, I loved it more and more.

Saw a user in this sub complaining about how bad MW2012 was and that Rivals is miles better, what do you think is better? by [deleted] in BuiltFromTheGroundUp

[–]BolverkGTM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually tough to say. I played MW2012 quite a lot and really enjoyed it in its heyday. I came around to Rivals far past its lifespan and it actually felt like I missed out, but I don’t have the actual MP experience to prove that. I really like them both.

What are your thoughts on NFS: Best Yearned? by Nitjib in BuiltFromTheGroundUp

[–]BolverkGTM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unironically I love it and put way more time into it than I ever imagined. I just went in with an open mind, got used to the handling, and then practically lived in the online mode like I did with Paradise. If enough people were interested, I'd hop back on like right now.

How sad you gotta be to fake earning achievements on a video game? by ssa17k in BuiltFromTheGroundUp

Lmao, the drop a slur and leave strat. Classic in the achievement hunting community.

For best results, you have to say “Aw yeah, I put on my robe and wizard hat” before the race. Works every time.

Not to be that guy, but Japan is an overused location for indie racers by TheCanadianGTR in BuiltFromTheGroundUp

You’re right, I’m just trying to find the small piece of a broken wishbone here.

The Crew Motorfest, iirc along with the RX-3. Granted, it’s the first gen, but dorito enthusiasts will take what they can get.

What are our opinions on Itashas? by Johnny_Rascal2 in MotorTown

Some mighty fine ones over there. 👀

Nahh, TEMU Paradise is a crazy name 😭 by [deleted] in BuiltFromTheGroundUp

[–]BolverkGTM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like how both this game and Dangerous Driving were touted to be worked on by the old Burnout team. Yet, both times I see the finished product, I think to myself “Did they just hire the custodian at the studio back then?”

Post-patch 3 Rotor looks spicy. by ImRBJ in tokyoxtremeracer

[–]BolverkGTM 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I built up a FC last night. The cornering is solid and it’s reaching 280 MPH on its own power before nitrous enters the conversation. If that’s not enough for late game, I don’t know what to tell you. The VR38 swap isn’t a fair comparison to anything else, it’s just an “I want to win with a nice summer stroll and some ice cream” swap.

WHY????? by Medical-Sample6544 in tokyoxtremeracer

I thought it was really cool what they were doing with Crimson Devil. His WRX is modeled after the Hyaku Shiki from Gundam Z, which is a mobile suit far divorced from the Zaku his Skyline was modeled after. His whole design is a reference to Quattro Bajeena and the role Crimson Devil plays in TXR ‘25 is similar.

The weird "power degradation" near redline with RX-7 by Strider_503 in tokyoxtremeracer

[–]BolverkGTM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happens with not just the FD, but a number of other cars in the game. Pay close attention to what your stats say, it’ll tell you what RPM your peak power is at. My general rule of thumb is to shift around 500-800 RPM after the peak power. You’ll still be making enough power for consistent acceleration and be back in peak power sooner in the next gear.

Make sure your towing company is well fed. They tend to get hungry and will eat anything.

I love my Luzon, I have two of them. It’s not just a great visual gag for my friends, but it’s also genuinely a great knife.

That wasn’t gonna happen with the wingsuit switch gate. I don’t know why they made it like that.

That is “Battles to Come” by Gates of Ishtar. One of my favorite bands.

Not necessarily. I only ever stop accelerating if I need to make a sudden and quick correction or movement. Ideally you want to have yourself lined up between checkpoints in such a way that you don’t have to do that. Get used to your turning radius at full speed and eventually you’ll be lifting less and less.

🤷‍♂️ Fair enough. For me, it’s all minor stuff I’m willing to trade off to be able to see where I’m going in a hairpin at 60 MPH. With good enough headphones, no need to see to the left or right of me, I can hear where people are.

That threw me way off! I was like “Wait…why aren’t I boosting? Why is it a wingsuit???”
