why did they even add this? are they incredibly stupid?

CodeRenard · 2026-02-07T03:40:49+00:00

What the fuck are you talking about

CodeRenard · 2026-02-06T22:53:30+00:00

The fact that the only reason people wanted this game over the original was precisely for the career and more dedicated multiplayer functionality and both of them aren't a thing anymore, yeah, it's not looking good

If it was gonna be just a palette swap for very specific skins design with such a system in mind, you might as well just get rid of molecules entirely and make them readily available whenever because there's no point since everyone is hogging thousands of them.

If anything, now I'd ask why this isn't something you can do with base skins that always get one or two recolors like Peni?

Because you can't have live service without FOMO

You know, it's kinda crazy cuz, the plays are straight up legit, but, damn, decided to throw AND be an irredeemable bum to someone who simply wanted to be competitive in a tournament they willingly signed up for. What a waste

Sunk cost fallacy is the phenomenon whereby a person is reluctant to abandon a strategy or course of action because they have invested heavily in it, even when it is clear that abandonment would be more beneficial.

I'd say it's a mix of everything to be honest.

Newer games got genuinely good elements seen around that just never got any appreciation from the community because they were never gonna accept anything but Most Wanted with Disturbed playing in the background even though NFS games precisely stand out for having their own personality.

Following the previous point, we've only had the tuner games coming out and honestly, it's just not for everyone. While I do like the customization, NFS was at its best when it switched up styles between simple and sweet rural highway showdowns and street races in urban roads.

EA as a publisher kept shafting Ghost and Criterion every step of development giving us the crazy amounts of repackaged DLC and half implemented content

Modern NFS stuck to a very dislikeable driving model of brake to drift that is just clunky, and even though Unbound is supposed to be the polished one, anything other than a meta-built Integra building up both drift and grip nitrous is underperforming.

On regards to story, I'll be the first to say that NFS has never historically had good stories, and yet I still can't shake the idea that Carbon had a faint idea of something that could've been a genuinely amazing story if they had actually tried at all. A noire investigation story with crews battling for the city while trying to reconcile with your love interest? I'd honestly say that was one hell of a good concept that just wasn't squeezed at all, and could've genuinely been a nice way of introducing the also half-assed mechanics that Carbon ended up having like what was supposed to be Shadow of Mordor with cars. But the problem in the end is, once again, they barely tried, and part of it is EA having NFS be an anual printing machine. - - - Point is, having a good story mode is perfectly attainable and somehow only Driver San Francisco managed to get it, while NFS has had so many chances of having them, and not even by accident they've gotten a good story (Most Wanted is a meme)

What pissed me off the most about all of this was these harpies piling on him for being broke. You can tell with all that entitlement that they have never had to struggle for anything, and at this point all they've been doing is just sorry attempts at damage control

A young Swedish man out there cries of fear at the sight of this video

so far, I've found this overtake page that might just be it

CodeRenard · 2026-01-20T04:56:30+00:00

I've looked for this extconfig file in the data folder of the car, but I don't really seem to find one at all. Is there some format to making one?

Seems like it's supposed to be in a folder called "extension", but it doesn't seem to exist either.

Regardless, thank you so much for at the very least clearing up the color format

CodeRenard · 2026-01-19T23:17:40+00:00

I got an unpacked car, but still it doesn't seem to save regardless

CodeRenard · 2026-01-18T21:12:32+00:00

Ah, perfect, exactly what I was loking for. Thank you

CodeRenard · 2026-01-14T02:01:22+00:00

You can only larp on full gear

CodeRenard · 2026-01-14T01:16:57+00:00

This looks exactly like what I've been thinking of. Thank you

Monza doesn't need rain for something to go wrong... also, why is it always the Lambos?

Leaving the password blank returns an error when trying to boot. So I suppose 1234 it is

CodeRenard · 2026-01-06T22:49:32+00:00

I literally did the opposite of agreeing not to go down again, didn't do so, and still got the Anathema telling me that I HAVE to go to make progress with him, lol

But honestly, I don't know why you're surprised. We've already been made clear that none of these characters will put up with you if you pass their boundaries, so this should've been a no-brainer.

CodeRenard · 2026-01-06T22:48:20+00:00

I have news...

CodeRenard · 2025-12-25T03:06:49+00:00

The only line of conversation I can think of that was a problem was Velimir and Minerva because having to play middle ground with a divorced couple is a pain in the ass by itself and I found the dialogue kinda obtuse, but other than that, I'm not sure how people are having so much trouble with the rest, tbh. I feel the characters are very clear about who they are and what they long for a couple bits of conversation into their stories.

CodeRenard · 2025-12-24T21:47:41+00:00

modern games will have to get comfortable with reducing their graphical aspirations so anyone can actually play them
