NFS Unbound Gaming

[rustic isle]

Skill issue

[lavish crest]

wanna play unbound?

[cobalt sentinel]

Cool tip: tap your nos to keep the combo from stopping in drift/takeover events.

[rustic isle]

people who say unbound barely looks better than heat: 🤡

[cobalt sentinel]

Dude unbound looks so good I wanna eat it

[rustic isle]

i love the lighting in unbound

[cobalt sentinel]

Same , especially the sunny day time one

does anyone know what happens when we finish the main story? are there any more races to do? cause rn we can't replay races we've finished.

[lavish crest]

I believe you can just run the 4 weeks over and over again

like after the story you can keep going through the weeks and probably the grand over and over again

[cobalt sentinel]

Ohh, hopefully that’s true. Would suck if there’s nothing to do to earn money.

[rustic dock]

or worse, the game just ended and you had no option but to restart the story

gotta say I am not a fan of missable game design, I low key hated RDR2 for it, and I'm damn sure not vibing with it from an NFS game of all things.

[wraith atlas]

Unbound looks better in every way

Lighting, detailed map

Textures

Textures actually load

[magic dune]

Tbh the sounds in unbound sound immersive

[cobalt sentinel]

Same

[cobalt sentinel]

Anyone found a more efficient way to farm for cash? I’ve just been doing the practice events but they only give out $500

[cobalt sentinel]

Nevermind

[rustic isle]

broke

[stable timber]

What

[cobalt sentinel]

I used cheat engine lol

[stable timber]

Disappointing

[cobalt sentinel]

i have no patience 😢

that grind is too much

[rustic isle]

skill issue

[cobalt sentinel]

my brother how is it a skill issue when we cannot even replay races to grind? 💀

[rustic isle]

hold up
wait a minute
something aint right

[undone rivet]

[stable timber]

Because you ain't using your ingame money wisely

[fickle cradle]

What in the fuck-

[cobalt sentinel]

lol

[stable timber]

Epic 290 hp hellcat

[undone rivet]

damn son

[cobalt sentinel]

everyone is using cheat engine

the cash rewards are too damn low

still weak fitment on the rb s15 smh

[lavish crest]

bag it

it's already low as shit

[cobalt sentinel]

yeah

[rustic dock]

Weak. I may not be a fan of the very time limited story structure but I won't resort to that.

[cobalt sentinel]

im really annoyed that we can't replay races we've finished

wonder whats the game gonna be like after we beat the story

will it revert back to the last week of the story or will we have to start the story all over again

[rustic dock]

Curious about that myself. Not sure if the game just ends or just keeps looping so you can end up doing any events you might have missed

[lavish crest]

I think once the story is over it's over

but you can do the 4 weeks again

[rustic dock]

Well is it one or the other? Game being over at the end implies nothing can be replayed and you have to start a new game.

[cobalt sentinel]

i think they meant that you can replay the 4 weeks but with no story elements

[rustic dock]

That would be ideal, yes

[cobalt sentinel]

i think thats fine as long as we keep everything we've unlocked from the first play through

if anyone sees this ,pls let us know what happens after you beat the story lol

[rustic dock]

Would be weird for NFS to have a story mode without an endless post-story state after all these years.

[fickle cradle]

I was not mentally prepared for a Lamborghini starter car

[cobalt sentinel]

[fickle cradle]

Oh no

[rustic dock]

||Ready to donate another car to the Razor Jaz fund?||

[cobalt sentinel]

Lmfao

https://tenor.com/view/vietnam-flashback-cat-gif-18770750

[fickle cradle]

I'll take that over it ending up at the bottom of a river

[lavish crest]

I like this take on the ProStreet crown

[rustic isle]

ayy
its where the leak was

[stable timber]

Yoooo leak location

[lavish crest]

The fact that the main menu has a "Vol. 1" sticker on Lakeshore Online makes me wonder

[magic dune]

battle pass?

[tired shore]

whats that yellow currency thing next to the green bank

[tired shore]

ayy cool

pls show more clips of you guys playing i wanna see some cool stuff without seeing story stuff :p

[lavish crest]

level

don't worry it's a single currency game

[tired shore]

phew good

the game did say on one of the teasers it had in game payed content but that could just be new cars that are gonna be released or the palace edition ad thinghy

[lavish crest]

I believe they said content updates might be free so we'll see

might just be booster packs or smth

or a battle pass idk

[tired shore]

i hope battle pass is gonna be free like they did with splatoon

truely revolutionary

[celest lantern]

I hope GTAVI Online doesn't get a battle pass

Neither does this game personally

[tired shore]

i mean battlepasses are fun if they're completely free

its just free stuff you can get by playing but its allways gonna be new cuz new seasons will release

or something like that

i like that they did it with splatoon bc then you allways have that feeling of wanting to get back to the game to complete that catalog (battlepass) before its gone forever

it does require alot of work though but like they did in splatoon they can just give the player money once in a while or xp. it doesnt have to be all items

this way newer players will also have an easier time getting into the game

[twilit pond]

i need 2 days just to play unbound (pc poopoo to run unbound, welp, only in the character customization and main menu)

which bums me out because i was so hyped to play unbound on my current rig, but it turns out that i need a 6 core cpu in order to play unbound

at least when i get the upgrade, it'll be a pretty big leap (from 4th to 12th gen intel)

[sleek swallow]

I don't recognise any of the clothing brands in this game lnao

[lavish crest]

I recognize a bunch

[cobalt sentinel]

Not even Vans?

[sleek swallow]

okay Vans and Puma

there's two out of however many there are

[tired shore]

if you don't even recognize vans you have been living under a stone 💀

[sleek swallow]

I forgot vans was in the game

[tired shore]

phew

[lavish crest]

the 350Zs legacy kits didn't stay 😭

[sleek swallow]

WHAT

well I'm not using the 350z then

[lavish crest]

it does have a front lip tho

[sleek swallow]

But the shift front bumper

the UG widebody

match made in heaven

I was expecting them to add the Nismo kit+wing

so I was gonna put the nismo wing on it

and then build the livery I never finished in Heat

[lavish crest]

Maybe they'll add them back?

God nighttime is so beautiful

[twilit pond]

cant wait til someone finds a way to put mods in the pc version, i wonder if they did hide some body parts

[lavish crest]

GOD THE CAMARO IS FUCKING SCARY

They're undercover so they don't appear in your minimap

I nearly ran into one

[sleek swallow]

is it under the bodykit premade section?

[lavish crest]

no

[sleek swallow]

fucks sake

[lavish crest]

for some reason the fenders for Ana's kit are there thoufh

basically stock fenders but the wheels are pushed out more

[sleek swallow]

they are just stock arches but with extra track width

not "her" bumper tho I'm guessing

[lavish crest]

pretty much

even in Heat I was disappointed to see that the Shift kit didn't have the widebody

but oh well

[sleek swallow]

I'm not able to play much so not got far

but

on the Crown Vic it's all titanium exhausts

there are like 2 that aren't, the carbon one and the ugly dual glued together oval

I feel like Customisation was not a prioritised part of this game so far though

[cobalt sentinel]

Found a glitch in online lmfao

[tired shore]

HOW

[lavish crest]

?

[tired shore]

SHOW MEE DA MONEY GLITCH

Ohhh

Do you mean the B to s+ thing?

[cobalt sentinel]

Ok not a glitch but Cheat engine, change the value of the pagani to $1 and then before selling it change the value to however much you want and then sell it

[cobalt sentinel]

No

[lavish crest]

wait that's how it works?

[cobalt sentinel]

Yes

[lavish crest]

say no more

[cobalt sentinel]

Pretty easy will probably get patched so better get to it

[tired shore]

and that’s how you get infinite money?

[cobalt sentinel]

Yea

[lavish crest]

its not a glitch though

it's outright hacking

[cobalt sentinel]

Yeah not a glitch

Lmfao

Gotta do it quick before it gets patched tho

[sleek swallow]

woah woah woah

I think ditto tried some cheat engine funkiness

he had to restart his save

MASSIVE try at your own risk thing here

[cobalt sentinel]

It worked fine for me

[lavish crest]

lemme back mine up then

[cobalt sentinel]

If your game crashes and you get a “your save was interrupted” message just wait 5 mins and try opening the game again

[sleek swallow]

I find it surprising that they'd have implimented some form of anti cheat (or at least I recall that being said), but allow CheatEngine to work

[cobalt sentinel]

Don’t question just take advantage lmao

[lavish crest]

uhhhh

how does it work?

bc the price keeps resetting

[tired shore]

Sadly I can’t play the game yet so I won’t have unlimited money.

[lavish crest]

game crashed

but i have two Huayras

[cobalt sentinel]

So go online and go to the store to the pagani > open cheat engine and search for the price of the pagani > select all results and change value to $1 > buy the car > go to the sell tab > search for the price of the pagani again > change to however much you want and then sell it.

It might not update the value in the screen so just click sell and you’ll get the amount you entered

Also it doesn’t seem to work if you sell cars that you already own

Doesn’t work if you buy cheap cars too, only seem to work with the pagani

[lavish crest]

done

[cobalt sentinel]

Works?

[lavish crest]

ye

75mil

[cobalt sentinel]

Noiceee

[cobalt sentinel]

Lessgooo

Lmao

[lavish crest]

now to see

did they REALLY remove Sunline?

yes 😭

[cobalt sentinel]

Inb4 our accounts get nuked 💀

I will sleep now, hopefully my account will be fine by the time I wake up 👀

[lavish crest]

NFS doesn't use anticheat you're fine

[cobalt sentinel]

Oh nice

[rustic dock]

well that's online mode in the bin instantly, then

[wraith atlas]

It will just lock his save file and say it's unable go sync with online server

And lock every online feature

Game will be permanently in offline mode unless you revert to save before you used cheat engine

Or delete your save and make a new one

[rustic dock]

hope so cause if people can cheat money in that easy in online then it's already done

[lavish crest]

so uh

I did it

hours ago

and I'm still able to log in so far

just saw this

basically, the Mantis kits ARE there

just not available through any normal means

[cobalt sentinel]

I think we can only race against the same tiers no?

Just now everyone was using an S tier and I couldn’t select any of my other cars

It forced me to use an S tier

[cobalt sentinel]

How to get them?

[lavish crest]

idk

[cobalt sentinel]

Everyone stop doing the cheat online!!!!!

People are getting nuked

[lavish crest]

are they really?

[cobalt sentinel]

Yeah

[lavish crest]

oh well

ill hack again to revert my cash lmoa

[cobalt sentinel]

You can’t revert it

[cobalt sentinel]

It worked?

How?

[lavish crest]

i just raised the Huayra's price lmao

and then sold it for a buck

[undone rivet]

woah thats wide

[cobalt sentinel]

Lol

Any of you guys in a lobby rn?

[magic dune]

CUSE

[sleek swallow]

they must have plans to release them as rewards

[wraith atlas]

You can log in, you'll just get an inventory sync error when you try to go online

You can't get banned

[lavish crest]

yeah like I said, there's no anticheat

I reverted my cash bc it's more fun

anyways uh

ig it's canon that Razor resides in Lakeshore now

[wraith atlas]

Wdym

[rustic isle]

Hope it just means they'll do updates to it
Like vol 2 is where cops and new events and types and whatever

[cobalt sentinel]

Yeah that'd be cool

[rustic isle]

I just hope they increase freeroam size and have pure matchmaking

Basically impossible to get full races of 8 people

[cobalt sentinel]

you mean the number of players in a server?

[rustic isle]

Yeah

16 is not enough as most are either in a race or won't join you

[cobalt sentinel]

how many people can join a server in the previous games?

[rustic isle]

Idk
Previous game didn't even have proper online

[cobalt sentinel]

ooo

i never played online in payback and heat

[rustic isle]

I think payback had matchmaking

Where it will search for races across anyone also searching and not just within the 16 player freeroam lobbies

[rustic dock]

while true, money cheaters like yourself are gonna be rolling in fully tuned meta picks for that tier, won't be able to compete legit, least not for a while. kinda on them for not bothering to protect the online economy from the most basic of cheat tools.

[cobalt sentinel]

It do be like that sometimes

[stoic oriole]

I might give the trial a go

[tired shore]

Can you do the trial on PlayStation?

[rustic isle]

yaz moment

[lavish crest]

I won an Evo :D

[radiant hemlock]

I wanna ask is this game very stutttery and laggy? Seeing some gameplay, i see game is geting high fps, but lots of microstuttering

[radiant hemlock]

aamazing....but i dont like those smokes, other graffiti are cool tho.

[cobalt sentinel]

nope smooth as butter for me

the frametime is pretty consistent

[stoic oriole]

Do you have EA Play

[tired shore]

Ye

[cobalt sentinel]

then yes you can use the 10 hour trial

[tired shore]

https://youtu.be/gkt1IN7E-HI LMAO

[lavish crest]

Holy Fuck I forgot Yeahmap existed

[wraith atlas]

Oh that guy

[lavish crest]

fixed NSX lights I'm happy

[rustic isle]

😭 my car got stuck between 2 immovable objects

[lavish crest]

damn lmao

I nearly got busted when I got stuck under a train

[wraith atlas]

Still yet to be busted even once

[lavish crest]

I've been busted once

[rustic isle]

when most of the online players havnt set a banner 😔

[lavish crest]

Swear to god dude

Only like 4 of my friends actually have them

[rustic isle]

😭😭😭😭

[lavish crest]

bruh

[stable timber]

No one has the merc lnoa

Gonna get it as my online starter car when i get the game

[cobalt sentinel]

No one is using nsx either

[lavish crest]

I have one

[cobalt sentinel]

Same ,S tier

Dude the S+ Tier races are insanely fast

[sleek swallow]

this fucking heap doesn't turn

understeer fucking simulator

I'm glad they added the Crown Vic but by god it's not good in any way lmao

[rustic isle]

https://tenor.com/view/ez-noob-skill-issue-simply-a-difference-in-skill-gif-20780203

[cobalt sentinel]

I never understood the hype around that car

[sleek swallow]

because there's so many styles of mods

if you played midnight club you may understand, a lot of American cars of that era had some really nice tasteful stuff

you got cop cars, DUB, that fun plasticky tuner style, hell even stance if that's what suits you

sadly, the game has none of that really xd

[rustic isle]

🤰 ☕

[fickle cradle]

How the hell

[tired shore]

That man has come crazy cheek’s

[rustic isle]

wtf

[lavish crest]

Fuck you.
Whitewashes Obi

[celest lantern]

Twitter is malding lmao

[lavish crest]

there should supposed to be a list of decals here but I can't make out what they are

[celest lantern]

Damn accurate !

[magic dune]

Need for speed underground rivals reference indeed

[stoic oriole]

BUY

[cobalt sentinel]

i just found out about banners lmao\

[rustic isle]

I've got to make the ddg Evo sedan

[stoic oriole]

Man's using the AR sticker 💀

Lol

[fickle cradle]

Bro if you don’t take off that ar12 sticker we’re gonna have a problem

[steel quail]

is it in the pants?

[cobalt sentinel]

what is AR

i used it cause its the only simple looking one

[steel quail]

Is it possible to zip past them before they spot you?

[cobalt sentinel]

yes

if you're fast enough even in high heat levels you can zoom past them before the spot meter fills up

[steel quail]

Oh, okay

I've been hearing that the cops are weak, that true?

[cobalt sentinel]

wait omg i didnt know it was ar12 im so sorry 😭 im disgusted at myself

[cobalt sentinel]

they feel pretty balanced to me but lets be honest, nfs fans will always complain about cops.

[steel quail]

I like that the cops are more varied this time

[cobalt sentinel]

yeah and they all have specific ways to take them down

imo this is the best cop implementation in a nfs game, unlike in heat where they just freaking ram you left and right and aggressive for no good reason

[steel quail]

Is there any trace of off-road in the game, like tires?

[cobalt sentinel]

yeah there are some off-road tires

suspension too if im not mistaken

[rustic isle]

Offroading doesn't slow you down much anyway

[cobalt sentinel]

why does Jaz hate rydell? the hate feels so out of nowhere lol

[rustic isle]

crown thicctoria

[stoic oriole]

AR12

Another racing YouTuber

[cobalt sentinel]

Yeah I just realized 😭 disgusting

[rustic isle]

at least its not lp ripper

[steel quail]

Not much use then lul, much like drag tires

They still in there tho?

[cobalt sentinel]

nope no drag tires

ok what am i doing wrong, im struggling against people with the same B tier 159 car as me, the gap is like -400

[stoic oriole]

Don't EA despise him

So there's no chance he'd be in a game lol

Unless it was like a burn against him lmao

[rustic isle]

good

[rustic isle]

💀 nfs unbound made a reference to the british queen

[lavish crest]

God couldn't save the queen

and now it's very funny

[rustic isle]

2.2 too low of a score

[lavish crest]

on god 🙏

[stable timber]

How is mw12 4.5

Wii u version has 7.5 💪💪💪💪💪

Also 6.9 nfs 2015 ew

[sleek swallow]

did he sell that?

[lavish crest]

nah

he listed it for $150k

[rustic isle]

thats cheap

[lavish crest]

ikr

evo sedans are very precious

[sleek swallow]

Well then...

[rustic isle]

lol

[rustic isle]

also are you only on the first qualifyer?

then again im on the 3rd at 40 hours in

[sleek swallow]

I don't have much time

cos

yknow

job

[wraith atlas]

Let boost win he deserves it

Jk

I like how dynamic the qualifiers are tho

[rustic isle]

boost weeb

[sleek swallow]

yeah he's a stereotype weeb too

[wraith atlas]

He's a good fella tho

[sleek swallow]

one of the less annoying AI I'll agree to that

personality is a nice dude

[wraith atlas]

Just wait till you get to week two and have to hear the Corvette woman talk in every race because she has the highest rating car so you wanna bet on her

[rustic isle]

just wait until week 5 where razer returns and says its razering time and impregnates tess

[wraith atlas]

[sleek swallow]

I like Tess

some personality in the voice lines

[lavish crest]

Pregnant Tess

[rustic isle]

she's cringe
but thats her character

[stable timber]

Which makes her based

[sleek swallow]

god the cops in this game are so boring

[lavish crest]

boohoohoo 😭

[sleek swallow]

it's just a war of attrition amd guessword as to whats distructable and whats not

B class cars can easily evade them but then you'll get magically spotted through a hill or a wall with your engine off

not many takedown opportunities

can't outmanouvre them unless you're in the city because everything outside of the city is destructable (apart from the metal shelters that were in Heat)

[rustic isle]

skill issue

[sleek swallow]

how is it a skill issue?

[rustic isle]

when you get faster cars and understand the mechanics more it becomes more enjoyable

[sleek swallow]

I have an A+ car

it's still boring af

[rustic isle]

skill issue

[sleek swallow]

your counter argument is like a tories

[lavish crest]

skill issue

[rustic isle]

no but seriously
skill issue

[lavish crest]

connor always finds something to complain about this is normal mam

[sleek swallow]

you guys are fucking pathetic really

[lavish crest]

you're the one finding reasons to complain about a video game

[rustic isle]

just add upgrades to your car

and boost into their rears

[lavish crest]

btw yeah I've taken down many cops l

[rustic isle]

that can like insta ko most cops

[lavish crest]

be it running into them directly or throwing them at cars or walls

[sleek swallow]

no negative comments, only happy comments, ever thought must be positive

[rustic isle]

im taking down swat units

[lavish crest]

Getting away in a B class car ain't nthing new

MW and Carbon are also made easy enough to let you get away in slow cars

[sleek swallow]

you can take down swat units if you can hit them into a car or wall, when the oppotunity arises it's generally inside a city

[rustic isle]

nah
im taking them down
with my car

[lavish crest]

I like slamming into them head on

just because you can make it easier doesn't mean you should lol

[sleek swallow]

further in the game I'm guessing

[lavish crest]

just shut up and enjoy the game because looking for problems is only gonna make you more rotten

[sleek swallow]

I noticed you can double stack the augmentations or whatever they're callex

[sleek swallow]

auxilery perks or something

[sleek swallow]

I have both defended and critisised this game like I do with every game

if you can't read that's your problem mate

I get it's got a Criterion logo but that doesn't mean I can't critise aspects that need improvement

[lavish crest]

I've only ever seen you complain about cops being too easy lol

[sleek swallow]

your problem then innit

[lavish crest]

no it's yours lmao

Like I said it's you complaining

[rustic isle]

a livery inspired by a game, anyone know?

[lavish crest]

The cops are easy for me but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy the chases

its easy to get away so what lol

[rustic isle]

i think the cops are the right difficulty for me

[lavish crest]

They're just right for me tbh

They're not overly persistent like MW or Undercover and they're not slow like 2015

They're my favorite in the series so far

[steel quail]

No idea

[sleek swallow]

I enjoy a challenge personally

[lavish crest]

then it's simply a skill issue

[sleek swallow]

if they were less attrition based, particularly in early stages of the game (where you basically just evade them, get refound by the heli or other units seeing you through geometry) and repeat the cycle, it takes away from the other positives in the games mechanics

[lavish crest]

I've yet to be seen through walls

When I'm found the cop usually sees me when I mistakingly hide too close to the road

[steel quail]

Do they still have kill switch?

Or was that ditched

[sleek swallow]

I was sat on one side of a hill, engine off, outside of radius, had the cop kn the other side of the wall just suddenly turn and fly over to find me

in my B class car I used for one event because I wanted to try this speedcross event that I hadn't played yet

[rustic isle]

no

[steel quail]

Okay

[lavish crest]

what, the helicopter turned around?

it does that regardless lol

[sleek swallow]

no a car

[steel quail]

Wish I could try unbound but imma have to wait 1 or 2 years lul

[rustic isle]

rip

[sleek swallow]

that's unfortunate

it would definitely be worth you trying sooner if you get the chance

[steel quail]

My dad definitely doesn't want to get a new console, and since I'm going overseas for studies imma ask for a good laptop

[lavish crest]

on the bright side there'll be more to experience by the time you do get it

[sleek swallow]

they may have optimised it by then too

[steel quail]

Or desktop if things work out

[lavish crest]

My $600 gaming laptop runs it like a charm

at max settings no less

[sleek swallow]

my GTX1070 had to have FSR 2.0 turned on in order to have a stable framerate

will admit I've not fiddled with any dials since they released the GPU drivers for it

[steel quail]

Yeah, I wonder how the game will be in 2 months time, in terms of replayability

[sleek swallow]

I have still noticed instability and frame drops though which is a shame

[steel quail]

Interested to see how it will stand the test of time

[sleek swallow]

I think that's where the multi comes in

[steel quail]

Ye, the vol 1 thing right?

[sleek swallow]

Lakeshore Online

vol1 makes me hopeful they add stuff to it

I've not tried it yet

[lavish crest]

btw I heard that single player is repayable

like you can do the 4 weeks over and over again

[steel quail]

Ooo cool

[sleek swallow]

I think that is the case yes

[lavish crest]

would be cool to rerun qualifiers and the grand in different cars

I did the first Qualifier in the free Exige

and the second in the free Evo

they're not actually free but y'know

[steel quail]

With burst nitrous here I rlly wish drag was in game

[lavish crest]

maybe in an update, though they should consider the classic style of drag racing

lane changing perfect shifting classic

[sleek swallow]

Drag racing would be an interesting addition

[lavish crest]

but put it in heats like Payback did

[sleek swallow]

Basically mix prostreet and Underground drag racing

[lavish crest]

yes

with pinkslips being in the horizon, hacking would render the game pointless so it's best to keep it legit

pinkslips are more fun when you built the cars with hard earned cash

[steel quail]

If the updates are that good this could be a real return to from for the franchise

[lavish crest]

NFS was already rebooted

It just needed the improved execution that Unbound is

2015 should've been the return to golden era NFS but was just a broken mess

Payback doesn't exist and Heat was a major upgrade from that

I do hope the Liberty Walk R34 makes it later on

[steel quail]

I'm glad they took the cartoons approach lol, and the UI looks really good

[lavish crest]

I'd LOVE to build a Silhouette GT-R

Another thing they could take from Undercover is the cops vs racers game mode

Carbon had that too actually

[steel quail]

Physics lesson

[sleek swallow]

It's a fun time

just

don't overtake people on that bridge lmao

[lavish crest]

Pursuit Tag, Rally Relay, Outruns, Drag Races, and maybe even a treasure hunt the whole session can partake in

[sleek swallow]

As for the Cops V racers gamemode, could be fun, we will have to wait and see

I think they will focus on/add a proper freeroam multi with cops first personally, but I'd like to be surprised

[lavish crest]

probably will but same

The multiplayer is fine as is for now so it's actually passable unlike Heat, with playlists and the activities there's well enough to do for the time being

[sleek swallow]

Unless you wanna say

Co-Op the campaign

or

[lavish crest]

I can't wait to see what's to come

[sleek swallow]

just cruise around with a large session

I don't get why they copied Ghosts mistake here

3 times and we all complained about it with Ghost

hell 4 if you count Rivals, tho that was Criterions game

[steel quail]

It was funny seeing ISAD's video in my feed of the last race before the game even fully launched l Iol

Is the story that short tho?

[sleek swallow]

I think it depends on how much you do

you can definitely speed through it

I am doing a mix of things, 14.4 hours in (B class cop chases and spending ~45 minutes trying to make the game work with a Dualsense + some AFK) and I have just finished Week 1

[steel quail]

I'm not the type to stay 10 hours in game lmao

[lavish crest]

Honestly

[sleek swallow]

You don't have to do as much as me

and definitely don't do any B class races on high heat lol

[lavish crest]

you can just rack up enough money in one day or night and then bust yourself every other day to speed into the qualifiers

[sleek swallow]

It will make you get bored and alt+f4 then go chat on Discord

[lavish crest]

that's a speedrun tactic right there

[sleek swallow]

• the money to add perf mods to your ride

[lavish crest]

that too yes

[steel quail]

Damn the exploits lul

[sleek swallow]

There will be a meta

[steel quail]

I personally wouldn't do it tho

[sleek swallow]

then it will just come down to luck, like normal speedrunning

[lavish crest]

most definitely yes

[sleek swallow]

I'm getting tempted to XD

[lavish crest]

and the 993 is a complete piece of hot wet shit in B class lemme tell you

[sleek swallow]

Wanna play the multi, but I wanna do the story first too lol

[lavish crest]

I only used it in B class bc I never got around to actually upgrading it lol

but my baby brother built a 350Z in B class so I'll just use that

His goofy ass put the pizza wheels on it so

[steel quail]

lul

[sleek swallow]

The pizza wheels are neat

Still got baited thinking we could put decals on wheels

[steel quail]

Least we have a bit more lights colouring

I don't get why didn't have that in the first place actually

[sleek swallow]

Yeah that is a pretty neat addition

[steel quail]

Lmao

Did they add any clear lights to cars?

[sleek swallow]

I haven't seen anything in the way of added parts yet

[steel quail]

Damn

[sleek swallow]

Yeah...

[stable timber]

I mean

Legendary kit

[sleek swallow]

???

idk how many cars go them

[stable timber]

The three begining cars

And every car you win from the grand qualif i think

[sleek swallow]

There's a few more than three

well

what iirc you start with 36k?

I will also say new cars will of course get new customisation, they're new cars

and the Defender isn't new, it was cut from Heat after EA axed the DLCs

Either way, I think we were both talking individual parts, not the preset uncustomisable bodykits

[rustic isle]

what you mean?

[lavish crest]

Some old cars got new stuff

350Z and R34 got new hoods

NSX got fixed headlights and the rocket bunny kit is mixable

[steel quail]

Is it only the tuners that got bumper delete options?

[lavish crest]

R32 got a Pandem kit with a Bee*R bumper on the actual R32 kit

I think the RSR has it

not all cars have bumper delete, thr 350 and 993 don't

[steel quail]

Ooo, I'm glad headlights are good for it now

[steel quail]

I see

[rustic isle]

some old cars got insane new parts

thats not the 911 btw

[sleek swallow]

that's out there, thankfully I said "that I've seen"

[stable timber]

That's hot

[steel quail]

That's "interesting"

[sleek swallow]

has anybody seen any more low level wings?

[rustic isle]

on some cars

they really need to add more parts to cars without some

like the new cars all have new universal wings

and some old cars do

[lavish crest]

The BCL wings have been lowered on a bunch of cars actually

Like, I actually want to use them now

[rustic isle]

this is on most new cars
they should add them to old ones

especially tuners

[lavish crest]

yes

I'd love that on an S15 actually

Wait

The R34 has a hidden Liberty Walk kit, does the S15 have anything from Liberty Walk?

[steel quail]

Anything new in terms of exhausts? Nothing too ridiculous for options?

[sleek swallow]

that's underground tier

[lavish crest]

nothing noticeably new

[sleek swallow]

almost all the exhausts I've seen have become burnt tips

[lavish crest]

but not that it matters, most old cars have a good selection anyways

true

[sleek swallow]

idk why they couldn't do both

like

I don't like burnt tips XD

[lavish crest]

i hope the 370Z got more exhausts bc holy shit the selection was bad in Heat

[sleek swallow]

fingers crossed

hell imagine a face swap with the 350 and visa versa

[steel quail]

Dang, wish they would make the same options but without burnt tips

[lavish crest]

G35 front on a 350Z woulda been cool

[rustic isle]

they need to do a customisation update
they dont even have the kaido parts on the 240z

[lavish crest]

Unfortunately the legacy kits didn't transfer

as in they're still hidden away

[sleek swallow]

and the other way

[lavish crest]

they're in the game, just hidden

YES I WANT A G35 SO FUCKING BAD

[sleek swallow]

I reckon they'll be readded as event cars

like Payback

[lavish crest]

but then I imagine it'll probably be mid

maybe

[sleek swallow]

still sucks

[steel quail]

How does the crown Vic handle?

[lavish crest]

like a muscle car

[sleek swallow]

in heat (with mods) you could mix and match the whole kit

[lavish crest]

I wonder if they'll make it mix and matchable in Unbound

[sleek swallow]

so it's not an entirely separate car/chassis like the R34 is

[steel quail]

I wanna know if I could upgrade or just leave it in a lower tier

[lavish crest]

like a non-widebody Mantis R34

I imagine that would look weird

[steel quail]

Oof

[rustic isle]

i hope they add more hero cars

[lavish crest]

Vortex Integra

[rustic isle]

at least this time they let us change the livery without mods

[sleek swallow]

Rose's 911

[rustic isle]

the integra needs to be dlc

[sleek swallow]

YES

[lavish crest]

Rose's GT2 for sure

that kit was NEVER usable

[sleek swallow]

wasn't it in the PS2 version

[rustic isle]

undercover with its 3 almost identicle porsches

[lavish crest]

I don't know actually

[sleek swallow]

not that anybody willingly played the PS2 version

[lavish crest]

I did

for nostalgia

[rustic isle]

i think the porsche is a boss car in the undercover story

[lavish crest]

it's as bad as I thought it'd be but ye

It's driven by a biker crackhead looking woman I once found hot as a kid

[sleek swallow]

not available to the player though

[lavish crest]

bc she called me pretty boy

[sleek swallow]

god that was annoying lmao

[rustic isle]

yeah

zad

[sleek swallow]

big sal

[rustic isle]

DIE AS SOON AS POSIBLE ROCKY

[lavish crest]

If by some crazy chance Toyota stops being a bitch

I wanna see some real bodykits on that Supra

the look changing kind

that ugly ass bumper isn't gonna cut it

[rustic isle]

add the mrs

[sleek swallow]

fun fact, in 2015 the bodykits are part-able until you leave the garage

so

if they do come back

they could all be mixable

and they could give me that HOT Top Secret widebody

[rustic isle]

watch toyota come back and these are the cars they let ea use:

the prius is cool tho

[sleek swallow]

the prius

widebody

[rustic isle]

if toyota comes back
theres gonna be a catch

[sleek swallow]

no cops XD

Shift 3 maybe

WAIT SHIFT 3

YESSSD

[steel quail]

I like suffering through shift

The micro movements needed, oh my...

Lol

[sleek swallow]

if you're on a controller you'll be fine

[lavish crest]

Toyota DLC is extremely expensive

[sleek swallow]

if I finished it at 2AM aged 9 with my little sister being actively surprise born upstairs you can definitely complete it

[lavish crest]

bc Toyota overcharged but it keeps players happy

[stable timber]

Sir that's called project cars 3

[sleek swallow]

uh, no

[stable timber]

Uh yes

[sleek swallow]

similarities? yes

spiritual successor? not a successful one if they were trying that

[stable timber]

That's insane

[steel quail]

Maybe I didn't set it up well, but the viper and Bugatti were borderline undrivable for me

Maybe playing at 15fps isn't helping...

[sleek swallow]

ah that would do it

[steel quail]

Here's me surviving with a 4gb laptop 💀

[stable timber]

But yeah shift 3 = project cars 3

[steel quail]

Least it had 1gb storage

[sleek swallow]

I personally do not accept that, but if that's how you wanna believe it then you do you

[lavish crest]

you're playing unbound on 4gb???

[sleek swallow]

no lol, shift

[lavish crest]

ohhh lmao

[steel quail]

Lmao

[sleek swallow]

Unbound wouldn't work

[stable timber]

Facts do not care about your opinion

[sleek swallow]

the facts are neither of our opinions are facts

[steel quail]

Hp 2010 wouldn't work for me

That's about the limit of this machine it seems

[sleek swallow]

add some ram and it will probably be a notable improvement

esp with it being a laptop

your iGPU and CPU are trying to share that 4Gb, these days an OS barely runs on 4Gb

well, OS' with Spyware

[steel quail]

Only hiccups In windows are in file explorer sometimes, chrome runs smooth

[sleek swallow]

which version of Windows are you using?

[steel quail]

Still on 10

[sleek swallow]

fucking hell

[steel quail]

Oops

[sleek swallow]

10 is fine, just 4Gb on 10 really kinda isn't

trust me, if it's upgradable it will be worth your time

you can get SODIMMs cheap online usually

just to stop all that HDD thrashing with your pages being wrote and read from what I presume is a 5400rpm HDD

and provide the iGPU with some actual breathing room

[steel quail]

Tbh I wanna get a new laptop entirely, give this one to my brother.

He screen is just bad

[sleek swallow]

well if he takes it he's a bit of an idiot but good luck

[steel quail]

I think it's a TN display or sm

[sleek swallow]

I think the panel type is probably the least of that machines concerns lol

[steel quail]

Hehe, but if I will try to upgrade the ram before giving it to him

It will be more convincing 😂

[lavish crest]

can you?

[steel quail]

Welp, I don't actually know how to XD, but I know some guys who can do it

I'd be up for learning it myself too

[lavish crest]

it's pretty easy

just gotta be careful not to break anything

[steel quail]

I know how to be careful : D

I clean my ps4 from time to time, the fan n' stuff

By the end of the game Rydell is gonna have an argument with Kanye West on Twitter

[magic dune]

ridge racer?

[cobalt sentinel]

is there no way to clean up that dirt on the r34? it just appears when i do a bumper delete

R32 as well, doesn’t happen on the 180sx

[rustic isle]

No

[magic dune]

cobretti iridium looks similar, but i'm sure it's not inspired by that

[lavish crest]

that's odd

i like how nfs unbound is the only top 6 seller with a positive rating

[lavish crest]

LMFAO

[magic dune]

ah yes, the infiniti hypercar

[stable timber]

Classic nfs W

[rustic isle]

unbound is really good

[lavish crest]

possibly my favorite high heat delivery by far

[stable timber]

Nice cayman with the porsche 911 front and the 935 back end

[wraith atlas]

Why is MWII mixed lol

[wraith atlas]

Wow

I see they added a lot of kits to preexisting cars

[rustic isle]

mostly bugs and crashes

[wraith atlas]

Story looked really fun

It even has vehicle sections

[rustic isle]

the vehicle section was the worst part of the game

went on for way too long

and you had to stop driving to shoot at people

[sleek swallow]

Yeah man, MW2 is not it

For every good mission there was a terrible one

the story was disjointed

and the multi is hell

[magic dune]

especially with the some having included legendary motorsports too

[lavish crest]

I love the Cayman so fucking much man

it's sticks to the ground like the tires were duct taped to the floor

and it's so fucking stable too

[magic dune]

The game is included in gamepass and than ea play right

[rustic isle]

only the trial i think
until it comes to regular ea play
because game pass only comes with regular ea play

or was it game pass ultimate with regular ea play

[untold orbit]

just got my first car that isnt the one you get at the end

its a civic

GOD FUCKING DAMMIT

I CANT REACH THE HEADLIGHTS ON THE I8

but the new ones for old cars ive seen are cool

Also why can't i enter the safehouse when i'm not in a pursuit in night

Makes the game more NFS Heat

Pull up closer to it?

[celest lantern]

Either way

[restive chasm]

Oh, it's Drifter

Yo

So... I need a busted B tier car.

[stable timber]

I needed the cops to get off the safehouse

[restive chasm]

I got the Foxbody in A tier, Exige in A+, Mitsubishi Evo in S. S+ is obviously going to be something ridiculous.

Probably the Koenigsegg.

The R32, of course. Dur.

There's me B car.

[tired shore]

https://youtu.be/-hVWJVD3IdI that jump looks so cool

[foggy mango]

there are a few too many jumps in this game ngl

but it's not a deal breaker for me

i just wish it was better optimised for HDD usage, i dont like playing a powerpoint presentation

[rustic isle]

well it is made for current gen only
which use all ssds
makes sense it isnt optimised for hdd

[foggy mango]

pc specs dont say it requires an ssd

i get it that using a hdd in 2022 is not a great idea

but i cant upgrade rn

SSD recommended but not required

my gpu and cpu are both beneath the minimum specified yet i can hit 60fps on low settings with amd fsr2 or whatever it's called without hitting 100% usage on either

but hdd usage is at 100% and game barely runs sometimes because of the stutters

other times i can play for half an hour without a single issue

[rustic isle]

well required can just mean bare minimum

and hdd speeds can differ

[foggy mango]

yeah i know mine is probably not the best

[foggy mango]

imo it should mean minimum to get an acceptable experience

aka 1080p 30fps

(smooth)

[untold orbit]

best sidewalk ai fr

[pine pond]

Nice car

[foggy mango]

hey at least we do have people on the streets

now all we need for the game to really feel alive is AI racers in free roam

[wraith atlas]

At least they don't walk through your car or freak out and run away from a parked car like in Crew 2

[restive chasm]

I've seen peds wear masks. That got a chuckle out of me.

[foggy mango]

My current review of Unbound (finished first qualifier):
+:

• handling is better but not perfect

• Visuals are really nice

• Art style is great and gives a certain charm to the game

• Progression is amazing

• Story imo is better than Heat's, maybe the premise is more generic but the execution is better, i dont hate any character like i did Ana, even Tess i like

• Atmosphere feels better, especially during day time

• Pedestrians make the game feel more alive

• Sound have improved drastically, the eclipse gives me a boner every time i play

• New boost mechanic is very satisfying

• The police are a constant menace

• :

• race variety isn't great

• Takeovers feel good but kinda doesn't fit very well into the game

• too many jumps

• photo mode is even more bare bones

• optimisation for lower end hardware could be better

• some glitches

• physics still quirky

• i kinda feel like you sometimes gain Heat too easily

• MP not as good? (haven't played it yet)

• car list largely the same from previous game, with artificial inflation via variants

also where toyota

and audi

[foggy mango]

Well then

[rustic isle]

tbf they didnt do any marketing

[untold orbit]

send me location now

[untold orbit]

a thing i want to add to the cons is removing snapshots in photomode

now i have to remove ui and screenshot using share button

[scarlet dove]

Just like grid

[foggy mango]

doesn't change anything for me

[stable timber]

Also it's a next gen exclusive

[foggy mango]

i think it's not gonna perform as well as Heat did at launch

no marketing, next-gen only, and people weirded out by the art style

Also them giving away Heat for almost free just before Unbound came out made it so thousands of people are still playing Heat, and since they just got an nfs game they're kinda done with the series for the moment

[rustic isle]

i hope criterion dont get shut down instantly 😭

[sleek swallow]

less budget on the next game that's all

and less momentum for the franchise

[lavish crest]

LMFAO

[foggy mango]

that's the palace edition thing innit

i like the graffiti wings but those are just ugly lmao

[lavish crest]

yeah lmao

[foggy mango]

some graffiti fighter jet wings would've looked cooler

i'm kinda glad i didn't buy the palace edition

[stable timber]

L you don't have the triangle win pose

[foggy mango]

the cars are nothing special, dont care about the poses and clothes, and since i got uni during the week i couldn't play the early access

and like this it came out on my bday on friday which was very cool

[stable timber]

L no triangle pose

[lavish crest]

I have one of the Palace jackets on

It's such a nice jacket

also I only paid $2 extra for 3 days early so I'm happy

yo the game runs at around 30 fps on my laptop with integrated graphics

not bad

[pine pond]

I was wondering

does the GTR and Nismo one got same customs or not ?

[stable timber]

The gtr nismo doesn't have any custom parts except the wheels that can be changed

[rustic isle]

boo

just add the regular gtr parts to it

[pine pond]

Ok ok

[stable timber]

But all of the aventador variants have all the custom parts

[rustic isle]

pretty sure they added some parts to a previously uncustomisable porsche

[pine pond]

I was gonna buy one until i saw one for free with the qualifiers lmao

[stable timber]

Yup

[pine pond]

Went for a GT3 RS

[stable timber]

To the gt2 rs and both of the golden ones

[rustic isle]

whats weird the facelift convertable mustang has cool bodykits
but the old 2015 one doesnt

[stable timber]

C7 zr1 has nothing except the roof

Mercedes gt black series and gtr have nothing

Same thing with the new countach

[rustic isle]

grrrr

[foggy mango]

Doesn't surprise me

Still want the black series and countach

[lavish crest]

Mine runs a smooth 60fps on ultra but recordings are at like 30

Is it okay to mod money into singleplayer after beating the story?

[rustic isle]

why not?

[wraith atlas]

Just asking

[rustic isle]

i did lol

just want to see what customisation and how cars handle before buying them online

[wraith atlas]

True

Honestly kinda sad the story ended

Just as it got interesting

[rustic isle]

felt like it ended before it should

there was unused plot threads and stuff

like who was alec

whats the purpose of the election

[wraith atlas]

I mean, I know it doesnt matter whos Alec anymore as he is out of the game, but I would still like to be more involved in his downfall

[rustic isle]

i felt they could have tied them into it
like alec was working for the mayor to increase street racing
so that the mayor could have an excuse to increase policing
then tries to arrest everyone at the grand to increase poll ratings

[wraith atlas]

I found it kinda cool that he swatted the hideouts towards the end of the game

[rustic isle]

like where did all that prize money come from?

why would alec bet it even though he gains nothing

and the mayor is rich
so makes sense if she was funding him

[wraith atlas]

True
