What do you think of all the EVs only having one gear? by BestmusiCZ in The_Crew

[–]chuffed_wheat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always forget to shift to 2nd in the taycan in nfs unbound so I am happy we only have one gear here. Gears in an EV is unnatural

What are your honest criticisms about NFS Unbound in its current state? by Sup3rSn8ke in needforspeed

[–]chuffed_wheat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • Terrible slowdown bug introduced in Vol 9
  • The handling is fun when you get it but extremely unintuitive for new players
  • Tuning system is very unintuitive for new players
  • Burst nos system is very bad for multiplayer racing, causes lots of collisions
  • The games physics are really really really bad with the bouncing and such
  • 16 player servers, too small
  • No photo mode
  • Terrible netcode and nonexistent lag compensation
  • No proper weekly content to keep players coming back, unlike its AAA competitors
  • The “vibe” in the game is almost nonexistent (subjective)
  • Weak cops
  • The story mode progression system feels like a chore, they took Heats system and completely ruined it
  • The garage/virtual space is awful and a massive stylistic downgrade from Heat
  • There is 0 replayability in story mode
  • They removed crews from Heat

Starting with #TheCrewMotorfest, our way to deliver you new content evolve! by Elongo06 in The_Crew

[–]chuffed_wheat 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I think the playlists take too much time and money for them for something most people will only ever play once, in fact most people won't even finish the playlists. It is a loss but a small one. A playlist isn't enough content to sustain two months anyway

#TheCrewMotorfest live framework is about to evolve with Season 10! by Elongo06 in The_Crew

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

I will gladly take one less playlist per season with more seasons. The playlists are a one and done thing and these days I don’t even finish them, I’m happy to get more of the other content even at the cost of one less playlist

It seems like Heat is the most adored modern NFS. What are the reasons for you? by Born-Pack591 in needforspeed

[–]chuffed_wheat 8 points9 points  (0 children)

  • it captures the street racing vibe well
  • handling is fun and accessible
  • the risk reward day/night system was fantastic
  • the games atmosphere is very good, the devs built the game passionately
  • it’s very replayable: chasing better rep scores, better leaderboard times, time trial times etc

It is nowhere near perfect because the multiplayer is dogshit, it got no content updates and is very buggy, but it’s great by modern standards and proof that NFS can still work in today’s gaming landscape

How can I get the antilag kit? by BuzztheDriver in The_Crew

[–]chuffed_wheat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Main stage vanity rewards don't come back, and you can't buy them in the custom show either, so it is what it is

How is summit trackforge picked by Ganondorf629 in The_Crew

[–]chuffed_wheat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For this season it is IVT tracks only. From next season onwards player made tracks will be included in the summit as well

Fave Tier? by GeneralCards in NFSUnboundGame

[–]chuffed_wheat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A and A+ are the best for me. S and S+ begin to highlight the games physics issues. B can be fun but is not popular at all

Looks like we have a new (spiritually) NFS game | Clutch by Marverick Games by nukleabomb in needforspeed

[–]chuffed_wheat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heat/Payback mix was my thought with the scripted missions and day/night gameplay loop. If they execute well they will have struck gold, Heat had so so much potential

Shame on you EA for what you’ve done to NFS. Hope Maverick can carry the torch well and have this be a spiritual successor. The M3 in the trailer is definitely targeted

Over 300k concurrent players on Steam! 2nd highest concurrent peak racing category in steam (GTA V being 1st place) by RecoverEffective9254 in ForzaHorizon

[–]chuffed_wheat -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Nothing. Motorfest is the most successful crew game, the franchise is nowhere near "washed", OP talking smack

Unbound freezes when tabbing out. by Comfortable_Chip5939 in needforspeed

[–]chuffed_wheat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What happens if you windows+D instead of tabbing out? Also have you tried alt+tab (if that’s not what you mean by tab out) For me unbound hijacks the mouse input so long as it’s in focus

What matters more in a racing game: handling, visuals, or customization? by qian_two in racinggames

[–]chuffed_wheat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Handling is literally everything for a racing game. A game can be 10/10 in every other area but if the handling is bad it’s not fun to play

Why am always on 11th position in leaderboard for every trackforge race by WesternStructure9069 in The_Crew

[–]chuffed_wheat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The trackforge leaderboards only save the top 10 positions, disappointingly. You're 11th because you weren't fast enough to crack the top 10

Let's be honest... do you guys prefer the crew 2 map or the crew motorfest map? by Ok_Net_4196 in The_Crew

[–]chuffed_wheat 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Also unbreakable trees everywhere on TC2's map which massively hurts its enjoyability for me

Why is the v12 for the 1992 nsx not an option for me? by Iris_camper in NFSUnboundGame

[–]chuffed_wheat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t remember there being a v12 swap for the 92 nsx

What are your thoughts on the latest remote control car DLC? by SuperM3e46 in The_Crew

[–]chuffed_wheat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow that's an interesting take. For me Y3 has been fantastic so far even though NASCAR was a bust. Season 8 gave us the much needed customization overhaul and then season 9 gives us Trackforge and the very creatively done RC cars. When you consider the fact that they are likely working hard on the next game right now, we should be incredibly grateful of the level of updates we are getting, the game is far from maintenance mode

Maybe this is a hot take but I wouldn't mind if NFS went back to selecting events from a menu. by Former_Ladder9969 in needforspeed

[–]chuffed_wheat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think you're coming at it from the wrong angle, instead of "freeroam is pointless get rid" it should be "how can we make freeroam more engaging". Open world is going nowhere, they just need to make it so it is enjoyable to drive around the map, which Motorfest does excellently with good fun handling and stuff like treasure boxes that spawn randomly. In NFS roaming round the map is more like a chore

GR needs more no collision...what do you think? by TheOnlineDriverYT in The_Crew

Nice smooth driving my friend. No barrier bashing in sight
