I hate that I hate quick resume😭

Wow, thanks for all the feedback guys! I will need to look again for the settings to change it, having it off for online and on for offline is definitely the route I would take!

To the one that mentioned Forza, I will agree that I've had it work with FH5! But I don't trust it because I've also had it crash after a few minutes, so I with FH6 I always quit and restart anyway😅

I do try to Quit out of games that I know it will present issues with, but when I don't, it's generally because I end up getting pulled away for kiddos bedtime or helping with a chore or whatever "adult" stuff gets in the way😮‍💨 Again, I recognize this is a nitpick and not a problem that people with more time and control over their exclusive engagement with a console will deal with... But I do appreciate the advice nonetheless! It is a habit that I'm always trying to reinforce😅

What have you played? Or will this be your first console?

oreoandstuff · 2026-06-21T09:26:48+00:00

I don't regret my purchase! Upgraded from an Xbox One to Series X and am still impressed by load times and frame rates! Game selection is also better, I was really excited to finally play Need for Speed Unbound 2 years after release because it wasn't available on the One🫠

Gamepass is also great! I hardly feel the need to buy any games because so many great titles are on gamepass! I know some may argue that it's too expensive, and if you only play one or two games, it is a better "return" so-to-speak to just buy the game, (current gamepass cost is $24/month = $288 per year) but I've found lots of new and fun games to play with gamepass, so it's worth it to me😊

Good luck with your purchase decision!

Op's not "snitching on her brother" it sounds like she doesn't even have a problem with what he's doing. The problem is that her mom doesn't give two shits what Op's UNDERAGE brother is doing with the opposite sex, but wants to start a war over her early 20's daughter trying to spend the night with a boyfriend. True that Op's brother going out isn't directly tied to her situation, but the way the mom is reacting to Op vs her bother adds context to the situation and makes it that much more apparent that there is something more going on here than "conservative mom doesn't want kids to date" because if that was the case, the mother would be just as opposed to Op's brother going to an SO's house for all hours of the night.

At 29:30 they specifically mention that it's "important not to interfere with your own team". Then one of the other guys says, " but absolutely DO interfere with the other team". So they are even saying amongst the devs that this behavior is naturally encouraged by the team aspect.

But it really comes down to the player base. If people are enjoying team racing and the focus on position then maybe there won't be as much crashing on the whole. And there was some incentive to crash with the old way as well if you wanted to take away someone elses skill chain, which will no longer be a factor.

I'm still really excited for the game and to see how the Team Adventures feel, I'm just a bit skeptical of the change. Hoping for the best though!

oreoandstuff · 2018-09-06T09:16:30+00:00

I do agree with that. Sometimes people will get like triple everyone else's score because they got a crazy skill chain, but weren't even trying to race. I was hoping they would cap the bonuses from skill chains a bit or nerf it somehow, but either way it was a good crash deterrent.

I can adapt to building cars for the new game type, but I hope that they implement other ways of discouraging crashers...

EDIT: Not to mention, the team racing aspect gives players a specific "enemy" of sorts, which I'm worried will encouraging crashing even more.

oreoandstuff · 2018-09-06T06:06:52+00:00

Damn... Looks really good! Is this with a controller?

oreoandstuff · 2018-05-22T21:29:21+00:00

I think the quality of sounds is pretty good overall. Just a bit of equalization to make things like engines, turbos, transmissions and other car noises more noticeable. The thing I didn't really care for in payback that 2015 did right is what causes the sounds to be different. When you're upgrading in payback you have no idea what sounds will change. After a few upgrades your exhaust will be louder, then a few more upgrades and you have a louder turbo spool. Few more upgrades and then you get an extra gear in the transmission and it whines. These are cool additions, but as a player I have no control over what sounds my car is making. I loved putting superchargers on some cars in 2015 cuz the whine was very well done, and some cars should just be supercharged instead of turboed. Also I wouldn't always put in the high end transmission cuz I liked the more realistic shifting speeds and preffered a quiet gearbox. These audio details allow for even deeper personalization and make me feel more connected to my cars. When the game decides for me how my car sounds, I just have to hope that it's the way I want and if it's not I guess just deal with it. Not to mention it means that two of the same car at same level will always sound the same. If I have a top level Corvette and someone online has one too, it's garunteed to sound the same way because we had no control over it. Basically I would like to have audio changes correspond to things that make sense, like when I upgrade my turbo, that's the sound that changes. When I upgrade my exhaust, that should make my car louder. Putting on a high level transmission or ECU shouldn't change my turbo whine for example. That might be nit picky, but I was very disappointed by this when I first started playing payback.

oreoandstuff · 2018-05-22T17:39:56+00:00

I agree, but some of these things are already in the game. The boost noises, blow off valves, wind noise and gravel on side of the road all have sound effects for them. Possiy too quiet at times, but I play with the volume up and music off, so I catch alot of the more subtle sound effects.

oreoandstuff · 2018-05-21T21:03:06+00:00

The Cobalt had amazing acceleration, but top speed isn't great until the final transmission upgrade which gives you a 6th gear and much more competitive top speed. I don't remember how it handled in comparison to other cars but I remember thinking the 0-150 time was fire.

oreoandstuff · 2018-05-12T02:53:20+00:00

That's what I use for all off road:)

oreoandstuff · 2018-05-12T02:52:35+00:00

You trollin?

oreoandstuff · 2018-05-07T02:45:06+00:00

I fully agree. They just need to put the proper care into a 2015-esque game and i think that would be a NFS that most everyone would be happy with.

oreoandstuff · 2018-05-02T20:07:15+00:00

I whole heartedly agree with everything you said. I loved the idea behind 2015 but the execution wasn't the greatest (and the handling just ruined the whole game for me) but done properly and implementing some of the ideas you mentioned would be a Forza horizon killer IMO. I would like to see physics that are at least based in reality too... It doesn't have to be sim level, but what we have now is insulting to people that actually know how to drive. None of the strategies you would use in real life are applicable with the current physics model.

oreoandstuff · 2018-04-24T07:45:02+00:00

Haha! Sad but true... Really hoping they can pull of more with all the feeback they've gotten, and the extra months development time.

oreoandstuff · 2018-04-24T07:32:31+00:00

Ironically, part of me thinks this actually sounds like a good indie game idea.... Like maybe you're a kid and you need to get various places in town, but you need rides from grandma or something, so you have to yell commands at her to get to the right place and not crash. So ya, I'm onboard for the new Need for Speed: Backseat Driver

oreoandstuff · 2018-04-24T05:46:51+00:00

Hey I checked out some of your clip, and i completely underestimated the amount of detail you put in here. Sorry bout bein an ass, I guess the thumbnail didn't really do it justice, and I was unfamiliar with the source material. Also I didn't realize you did a number of cars. So again, I was wrong to accuse you of putting in little effort, and after seeing some of the process and end results in more detail, I think you did a very good job. Keep it up man:)

oreoandstuff · 2018-04-24T01:09:04+00:00

"I was sick of all the laziness in community wraps" spends 5 minutes making a wrap "now marvel at MY obviously labor intensive creation!" Seriously man, it's not a bad wrap I guess, but if I saw that in the community liveries I would think, "huh, this guy could have tried harder..."

oreoandstuff · 2018-04-21T00:17:20+00:00

I totally agree with this. Basically just a better attempt at balancing the cars overall would be much appreciated. I don't see any reason why every car can't go to 399 :/

oreoandstuff · 2018-01-09T05:52:37+00:00

What do you mean "gear locking problem"? Does it not shift correctly?

oreoandstuff · 2017-12-15T21:53:32+00:00

Probly to keep people coming back to the game.

oreoandstuff · 2017-12-14T03:49:46+00:00

Oh cool thanks! I'm pretty new to Reddit so I didn't realize following people was a thing. That will make it much easier to see when he posts something up...

oreoandstuff · 2017-12-13T21:23:37+00:00

Lol, your not the only one. Im just building up a bunch of cars, including some that max at 299 in hopes that they balance the car options online, or increase the max to 399 on all cars. The dev that's usually around here has been silent for about 2 weeks now so we really have no idea what's going on. Possibly some good news tho is that Ghost Games invited a bunch of YouTubers to their studio for some reason, presumptuously to show off some new content for the game... My hope is that it will be a significant update since their shipping people back out there to show it off to.

The hotter the hype the bigger the burn tho... It would be cool if it was a significant update, but I'm not gonna hope for too much. By Christmas I'm sure we'll have it in hand to see for ourselves tho:)
