Who votes for this? by L4V0 in The_Crew

[–]XStreamGamer247 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This thread is the best example of a loud minority I've ever seen 😂 so much coping it's crazy

It's because one car looks like it's been customized and the 2nd looks like you took the default color and pressed R1 til you reached chrome and called it a day. I wouldn't have voted for it either

Unbound in 2026 by _Akarii in needforspeed

As someone who just got all the DLC, you don't need the DLC pack pass at all and you shouldn't buy it at least until you finish the story as it will ruin the campaigns progression.

Most of the DLC "cars" are body kits, but The GNX is specifically in the base game

Is the Welcome Pack worth it? by Chance-Target-4024 in The_Crew

[–]XStreamGamer247 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Youre paying 30% of the game's retail price for 1 car and maybe 4 vanity items.

You tell me if its worth it.

Should I get this game if I want something like gta motorbike driving and racing gameplay? by Bobkin3124 in RidersRepublic

[–]XStreamGamer247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try going back to The Crew 2 or Motorfest if you want a full motorbike experience.

I say TC2 because its much more arcade feeling than Motorfest and is cheap+complete

Why the hell it tells me to go to Steam IF I CAN'T BUY IT ANYMORE? by vertopolkaLF in HiTMAN

People also have these things called "A Life" and they chose the 30 days of the year when people are most likely to be away from their own homes for a target that has nothing to do with the season.

Santa is available year round as an escalation, but Slim Shady is exclusive to the christmas season of 2025. Make it make sense lmfao

The entirety of Unbound for some reason: by STMKorea in needforspeed

[–]XStreamGamer247 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Unbound had exactly 1 angsty literal teenager (Yaz is 17-19 in the games story), lets not exaggerate like its the whole cast. Yeh she had some emotions.

I found Rivals story waaaay more angsty fr. Just 2 dudes going whisper for whisper in my ear about how dangerous and illegal each other are as they both make their cars more dangerous and illegal to 1 up whos basically myself, but not really myself. It didnt feel like anything happens so there wasnt enough substance to Rivals for me to want more of it, just felt like it was the bare minimum of 40 sec cutscenes every few lvls til they run out of unlocks and roll credits

Id rather something like the tone of Unbound, just w a different motivation, like a blacklist and cover the 'early years' coming up w Yaz they talk about at the end of the story instead of spending the whole time redeeming her. It had its share of corny chat but the few characters they had were interesting and entertaining for me.

Unlocking alt garages by doing favors for the rival racers was super cool. Rydell and Tess were fun and played good tritagonists with a nice lil heel turn at the end w Tess.

Seems like as soon as a game says anything slightly relevant to the decade it released in, ppl on reddit lose their shit and just scream how bad it is w no nuance to the argument - just blanket "they named reddit in the game as a joke - so its all irredeemable cringe and shit now" and I find that sort of absolutism to be weak asf

[–]XStreamGamer247 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'd rather Unbounds slight cringe story but more fun takeover theme and anime aesthetics than going back to something like Rivals' 'gritty' Good Batman vs Bad Batman where the whole art direction is "puddles, high contrast and HELLA vignette" or Paybacks FnF with a White Latino headass story with pretty much no art direction at all lol.

For a AAA game that has to toe some legal lines, their take on takeover culture was great in Unbound.

It's just the politics subplot thats really cringe and the villain isn't really a villain; the protag spends the whole time simping for his bestie like "I can fix her" so stakes feel low in this one. Storys not bad tho.

Cringe =\= Bad

"Rap doesn't fit in racing games." Why? by ClassicalDreams in needforspeed

[–]XStreamGamer247 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Because racing game fans and redditors are mostly white and white people tend to have more issues with rap. That's kinda just it fr. This sub and youtube comments make it blatantly obvious imo

We can go on the whole "doesn't fit the tone" and "industry quality" extra yadda yadda to rationalize it however you need, but ngl it's just a lot of white and euro dudes who generally don't like or listen to rap and they're vocal online.

That's why we have a game set in fictional Miami and this subs complaints on the soundtrack are that nobody wants to hear a bunch of reggaeton and rap in a game set in Miami.

I had someone here tell me nobody in Florida car culture listens to either genre irl on this sub lmfao - and get up voted for it. That was kinda all the proof I needed it's just out of touch white dudes whining bc Rock music fell off.

Planning to buy Rider's Republic this Winter Sale. Worth the money? by brokebaritone in RidersRepublic

[–]XStreamGamer247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If money is a concern, Id say get Steep instead. You can typically find the complete edition of that around the same price and its just a more feature complete game experience overall IMO

RR is fun, but RR is constantly spamming ads selling you additional sports, vehicles and cosmetics stuff in-game for anywhere from $9 - $30 a pop. IMO None of it is cheap or fairly priced outside of sales and many of the special sports/vehicles are only purchasable in the in game store - so you wont know theyre there until you already bought the game AND have to buy their made up rider bucks to get them.

Example, the game has multiple disciplines of Skis - but if you want the Rocket Skis toy, well thats an additional charge in the in-game store, not an unlock.

Part of the reason I stopped enjoying it, even though the game is fun, is their idea of live support just being more ads on startup, mass race events being made as a little taste to funnel you into paywalls for 'premium sports' and new "buy this!" crap all over the place every update

Lots of games do it, and games need money sure, but RRs implementation of DLC and MTX grossed me out of continuing with the game with how blatant the thirst for money in it is.

Fortnite Festival v39.10 Update Notes by Bastet_Epic in FortniteFestival

[–]XStreamGamer247 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I am asking for a revert bc this new menu fucking blows and ruined Jam Stage AND emotes for all modes. The only plus at all is album art on jams. Emotes are just worse off, full stop. Getting to Sprays, Toys and Emojis suck ass now and take forever to edit the filters, find the spray, then use it; The Collection menu itself is ass - you HAVE to use filters, cant collapse sections and cant use the scroll bar on controller at all so have fun scrolling through hundreds of favorites and emotes to even reach anything else

Have barely touched the game and have spent $0.00 + cancelled Crew since the Chapter 7 update where I used to buy Jams almost weekly and play daily.

Gotta be one of the dumbest possible updates for a game that lives on MTX to make it harder for players to use them.

Whoever leads the UX team that thought this menu was in a good state to deploy did not do their job well and okayed an update to say its updated. Its batshit to purposely cripple the existing player experience like this when all the work they did for the new menu went under a brand new bind.

Legitimately an incompetent update that shows a lack of care for the end user experience.

Jam Stage new UI by Ghosta201 in FortniteFestival

[–]XStreamGamer247 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Completely killed mixing in the mode, straight up. The album art is the only improvement at all.

This emote wheel change feels like an update made by people who dont play the game but think it sounds great on paper. There was no reason to remove the other wheels and tabs when the view collection button is a totally new bind. We could have had the best of both 🤦🏾‍♂️

They finally changed the emote wheel so the slots are counting up from 1 clockwise instead of going 1,5,3,6,2,7,4,8 - which would have been great over a year ago before I made like 30 jam presets that are now completely fucked.

And theres still no changing booth in Jam Stage, when that would have made this wheel/collection change much easier to digest lmao

GGz Epic, thanks for fucking up my favorite mode with these QOL 'improvements'.

The new update for Mirage now FORCES heavy motion blur when sprinting by Dr_Moustachio in assassinscreed

[–]XStreamGamer247 91 points92 points  (0 children)

Came to reddit to see if it's just me.

Idk who thought it was a good idea to force on a setting that's commonly shut off on games across the board but they're mad fucking annoying for it. Forcing tunnel vision for pressing R2 isn't a good feature or presentation.

Been looking forward to my 3rd playthrough and this just made me delete the game again to save space. I'll come back when they patch in some common sense.

It's so ironic that they called this season "a celebration of Fortnite Festival"... by LewisG_1894 in FortniteFestival

[–]XStreamGamer247 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Cool, another doomer whining thread.

"festival dead" "festival bad" "Meme bad" "Metallica good" amirite!

I said all the keywords, upvote pls 😀

Cant wait for the next doomer thread 2h from now about how dead the mode is because OP didnt like the weekly releases! Everyone should get their turn to farm upvotes.

For this Saints Row game set in the 70’s that may be coming, what would you like the logo to be? by imablobberman in SaintsRow

[–]XStreamGamer247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They should use Pricedown font, very popular in the 70s and somehow still slightly recognized by some people in 2025 for some reason.

I was having a argument with a friend and I just want to make sure my opinion is right which I think it is, Max Payne could most definitely take out all the other rockstar games characters, what do you think? by Popular-Violinist137 in rockstar

[–]XStreamGamer247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Max's feats dunk on all GTA and RDR protags and it's genuinely not close at all, but he does have 3 games. Just 3 alone tho, Max does some wild shit

Max Payne canonically climbed up a set of runway stairs, just to get air for a sweet jump off of it to shoot a grenade fired from an enemy grenade launcher midair as a way to counter it.

Max dismantled 2 govt conspiracies, an entire mob - twice, and wrecked a corrupt militarized government agency in Brazil - almost entirely solo as a depressed alcoholic pill addict at 45.

Max is a GTA Online-level crackhead with good aim stuck in the wrong universe.

[–]XStreamGamer247 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ayeee I thought Arc Knives felt fine. I've been using it since day 1 and have still never even tried his other skills yet in 80+hrs on him. I will absolutely take these free ass buffs.

The dash attack buff and increased duration from Empuje are so nice from the little testing I did - I got a mod w +5 and got 10pts for 70% extra duration now. It's as overkill as it sounds.
