NFS Unbound Gaming

[lavish crest]

So I can't restart new saves anymore

[wraith atlas]

No

[rustic isle]

[celest lantern]

EA moment

Not gonna' uninstall Origin

but I'll be using EA app from now on

Not because I like it

but because I'm forced to

At least I know how to handle it now

[rustic isle]

origin doesnt even work for me

nfs 2015 full one doesnt work

[full zodiac]

most helpful ea tool

[lavish crest]

Installing EA App will uninstall Origin

[sour orchid]

[celest lantern]

I didn't pick the update EA App option

[ember dome]

I see the arguement but the headlights don’t line up too much imo but I can see why you’d think that

Plus that’s what it was in one of the visualizers for the Lucid Dreams remix

Figured to give it a shot

[lavish crest]

I agree to an extent

but Underground's soundtrack still slaps

the point across is good though

[lavish crest]

wtf are those canards lmao

[magic dune]

fat passat indeed

[pine pond]

just wondering, what is the best B class car to play in online ?

[lavish crest]

If you aren't a 488 cuck, I'd recommend the RSX or an R34 GT-R with handling upgrades

[pine pond]

I'll look into it idk i had these cars rn i'm only level 7

Yeah i don't have the rsx yet

[warm spire]

I'm not sure if I'm able to recreate this s14 but won't it be badass to see Fielding Shredders car in unbound?

[full zodiac]

Who's the guy with the chad character

[lavish crest]

[celest lantern]

Best YouTuber ever existed

[magic dune]

Paragleiber

[sleek swallow]

so uh

best class for the M1

[celest lantern]

🅱️

(I think)

[lavish crest]

That would be hilarious

I only ever drove it in S+ and B so I dunno tbh

[sleek swallow]

lmao

it seems pretty decent in S after building it up on the stock engine

though I've not actually raced it just drove around

[lavish crest]

I'm so glad this isn't Heat dude

Decent builds without being to be forced into engine swaps and all

[sleek swallow]

seems more about if the car actually handles

and how fast they climb in the higher gears

[lavish crest]

The A 45 is genuinely decent in A+

Handles nicely, though it's a little slow

I feel like recreating old NFS cover arts in Unbound to the best of my ability

[celest lantern]

Man, Heat 5's theme is fire but

damn that heli flew so low lmao

[short trellis]

Thats nice

really nice

[lavish crest]

cool bug

[rustic isle]

yes

[sleek swallow]

Menus should be way less static going forwards

[lavish crest]

indeed

[celest lantern]

Fr fr

[light nacelle]

I was about to ask how you got that body kit and wing, but then I remembered you're on PC.

Damn you EA for not giving access to the hidden content.

[lavish crest]

can always appear in an update

and i think it will based on cue same points again

M3 GTR is "obtained early" for EA Play members, M3 GTR isn't unlocked after it's delivery unlike every other night delivery car, "Razor's Edge" literally teased anyways

[light nacelle]

It's still annoying.

[dense torrent]

It's Criterion

Not EA fault

Criterion is totally not Ghost and repeating their same mistakes

[light nacelle]

Once again, still annoying

[dense torrent]

I wish Gho- Criterion can just hurry up and update the game since this game died faster then Heat

[lavish crest]

🤦

[dense torrent]

Nico is just a dick rider btw

Not wanting to accept the mistakes

[lavish crest]

Sleepy is the average NFS fan as you can see

[rustic isle]

unbound bad 😠 criterion bad 😠

[dense torrent]

Based

[lavish crest]

Quick to kill a game in his eyes because the first update wasn't a massive content update with everything he wanted lol

[rustic isle]

i hope the update is good at least

[lavish crest]

So do I

[dense torrent]

I seen more and more people got bored already Unbound while for Heat it took more time

[lavish crest]

They finally got to rest so I'm sure they'll be cooking up some good stuff

[rustic isle]

online needs more content and gamemodes
especially party style ones

bring back cop elimination

team escape

cops and robbers

[dense torrent]

MP needs to be fix immediately

[lavish crest]

Heat only kept going because Heat didn't happen lol

[dense torrent]

The lobbies are more dead then fucking Heat

[lavish crest]

Payback did it's damage and Heat only added salt to that wound, that salt is what gives Unbound the shit it's getting lol

Even though Unbound is better in many other ways anyways

[dense torrent]

Like what

The cops doesn't do shit,story is boring,customization is meh,and the atmosphere isn't good

[rustic isle]

i prefer the unbound atmosphere to heat

and more consistant physics

[dense torrent]

I also noticed the city was dead and all they did was add park cars

[lavish crest]

They actually made a grip handling model unlike Ghost for 4 games in a row, they actually added customization to old cars unlike Ghost for 3 in a row despite constant requests, cops are actually fun and you're able to fight them off, Unbound isn't as boring in atmosphere or setting as Heat is

[dense torrent]

I was driving on a highway and only saw like 3 cars

[lavish crest]

nitpicking as usual

[dense torrent]

Unbound just remove brands

And the ability to remove parts

[lavish crest]

They added more than they lost lmao

[dense torrent]

Ohhhhh so new

The cops again just drive and cruise

Doesn't attack at all

[lavish crest]

That's a you problem lmao

My cops fight me normally

[rustic isle]

i liked the cops

maybe abit too on your ass

[lavish crest]

the cops in Unbound are more fun than Heat's

[rustic isle]

but the chases were better because your car had more health than in heat

and more chances to regain health

[dense torrent]

Helicopters were a "issue"

[rustic isle]

also millions of cops would spawn on the roads

[lavish crest]

helicopters actually did what they should lmao

[dense torrent]

They would spawn too frequently as most fans say

[lavish crest]

unlike every other NFS with helicopters

[rustic isle]

my main problem is that when youre not being chased there would be a cop on every road making it almost impossible to drive anywhere

[lavish crest]

Honestly yeah, just like Undercover

[dense torrent]

I like the helicopters but they don't change my mind that Unbound cops are still shit

[lavish crest]

I notice though, it's mainly in areas you just escaped

If you leave the area you were last seen they spawn a bit less frequently

it's annoying but in a good way

aka cops are actually competent

[dense torrent]

Also where is the risk and reward for Unbound

[lavish crest]

uhhhh

[dense torrent]

They keep talking about it but the rewards isn't worth it

[lavish crest]

the money you make lmao

you can make a fuckton of cash, I've lost up to like $700k or so post-story

[dense torrent]

$250-$2K depending on the Heat isn't alot

Plus it isn't really required for progression

[lavish crest]

oh wow lmao, nitpicking the escape reward lmao

when NFS never did that in the first place

[dense torrent]

Heat did it better

[lavish crest]

Heat did jackshit lmao

[dense torrent]

In terms of risk and reward

Higher rep=more parts,cars and races

[lavish crest]

yeah, multiplied heat and that was all

[dense torrent]

What does cops in Unbound even offer

[lavish crest]

heat 3 and 5 giving you like one race each

and after you get all the ultimate parts they're useless anyways

In Unbound you lose every dollar you make that night if you're arrested

[dense torrent]

Ok and what does Unbound offer

[lavish crest]

Which imo is better than what Heat has to offer

[dense torrent]

Since some events needs certain heats

And those events isn't really worth it

Most of the time

[lavish crest]

I mean shit, I've always gotten some sweet rewards from them

$40k for an S race, $80k for S+, maybe more

[dense torrent]

I seen other events with better rewards then these Heat ones

[lavish crest]

Meanwhile in Unbound you have to put up money to race the good races, which is even more incentive to win

While Heat spoils you even if you're last

Risk and reward, totally

In Unbound at least you can actually lose money if you lose the race

[rustic isle]

whilst it doesnt have replayability i much prefered unbound's single player
as it had more focused progression with its limited time and money
making me get attached to a couple of cars i would improve over time

[lavish crest]

Some races are even winner take all meaning if you don't win you're completely fucked, not even a bit of money back

but what about Heat? if I get last place I still get more money than the other players bc oh look lvl 50 crew haha

[dense torrent]

Unbound market as risk reward to the cops side of things

[lavish crest]

total risk and reward right there

[rustic isle]

i liked that i could actually lose in unbound and get punished for recklessness

[dense torrent]

Unbound marketing was another issue

[lavish crest]

again, you lose all of that money you work for if you're arrested

[rustic isle]

and not just retry everything

[lavish crest]

If you're reckless and careless and get fucked over by an F-150, you can kiss those 6 digits goodbye

[dense torrent]

I wouldn't comment on the busted stuff since it feels like the same

[lavish crest]

As for Heat, the few times I was busted, I only really lose rep and a couple grand compared to the hundred thousand I made anyways so what

Heat is only fun if you go for rep records, other than that getting arrested is whatever

In Unbound I can be grinding and genuinely get punished for fucking up

[dense torrent]

Not a bad idea tbh

Just wish the Ai was little better

[lavish crest]

oh yeah, limited retries was a great addition too

made you use them wisely or sharpen up your tunes and driving

[dense torrent]

And wish the betting system could've been little better

Like I would've love if the Ai can randomly bet on me

Like how Juiced 2 did it

And they would either want to raise the money or lower it

[lavish crest]

thats a nitpick but I can agree with you on that, it woulda been cool

[dense torrent]

And pinkslips is something I want to see

[lavish crest]

I think that was planned

they might add it later on

I wonder if it'd become some kind of multiplayer function, which would be interesting

@rustic isle which do you like more?

[rustic isle]

subuwu

[lavish crest]

I asked people in my server and it's evenly split between the two

I dunno what to say but I think the Z is my favorite

[dense torrent]

Yeah MP

Tho I rather have it SP

Since their servers are not great

[rustic isle]

if there is pinkslips
i wonder if there will be a glitch to just steal people's cars lol

[lavish crest]

I think they should add it to SP as well, as a way to get the character cars in both modes

[lavish crest]

inb4 Unbound becomes Racing Rivals all over again with the trading scams

"ill trade your r32 for this regera for free"

takes the R32 and runs

[rustic isle]

scammer gets scammed

[dense torrent]

Definitely

As much I hate these but Unbound needs a anti cheat if they want to add pinkslips

[lavish crest]

inb4 it becomes a reason to shit on unbound

when every game, even the good ones, are full of glitches nowadays anyways, and have been for decades

Besides, if an exploit does end up being discovered, we'll have to see how fast they patch it

either they take time to fix it, or they're focused on the next update and do it by then

eitherway I don't really care, I love pinkslips but I'd only really do it within the community anyways

GTA taught me years ago not to trust randoms anyways lol

though tbh if it's some exploit to steal cars, it'll probably be some kind of speed glitch or a mod that stops timers, I dunno if anybody is gonna go out of their way to make those though

I realized the Z doesn't have any Zillas on it, which is depressing bc I hit the decal limit 😭

[full zodiac]

Those two decals on the roof below the 33 look like weed

[lavish crest]

not really..

[dense torrent]

I swear they should've extended

The limit

[full zodiac]

I don't have the new console so I don't know what they are

[lavish crest]

Eh it's whatever lol

[dense torrent]

It feels like last gen

[lavish crest]

Out of the tons of liveries I've made, this is the first time I ever hit the limit, let alone come close

[full zodiac]

The orange and yellow blend better with the pink than I expected

[dense torrent]

Really don't see how this needs current gen only title

The SSD loading times are nice but that's all they offer

[lavish crest]

ray tracing could probably fry a PS4

[dense torrent]

There isn't RT

[lavish crest]

yes there is

[dense torrent]

The CM said so

During the phase

Even if there was you can just remove it on last gen

Ik these consoles are old but if you want to make it next gen show what you can do

[lavish crest]

wait no i got that mixed with dlss somehow

[dense torrent]

DLSS and AMD RSR is a blessing

I talked to Brad when he was CM and man he couldn't even make a good reason why last gen was out

I can see other games like Dead Space remake and Wild Hearts

May need next gen

[sleek swallow]

upscaling was used instead of optimisation in Unbound

it's really disappointing as a PC player

[dense torrent]

I legit got shit talk for saying these upscaling tools are barely gonna help since the optimization is gonna be shit

Wayyyy before Unbound released

Consoles optimization really sucks ass atleast on the Xbox side

[sleek swallow]

When DLSS 1.0/FSR released I got shat on for saying "they'll just use this as an excuse to not optimise" and here we are

[wraith atlas]

Unbound isn't the only one tho

Cyberpunk, cod etc

They all use it instead of optimization it's awful

[dense torrent]

Ik but I was talking about Unbound specifically

I don't like the excuse oh it's because the game is new

[sleek swallow]

doubt they'll fix it

2 maybe 3 updates I expect, varying in size and quality

[dense torrent]

That January update had some performance stability

But I didn't notice anything

[sleek swallow]

jan was a patch

barely even that

[dense torrent]

Yeah

And some people say we shouldn't get mad after we waited 2 months for something

[sleek swallow]

didn't even fix anything

[dense torrent]

The two cars feels like they didn't change at all

[sleek swallow]

they may as well not have

[dense torrent]

Man if the next update doesn't offer anything new to try nor fix I would just delete the game

I got FH5 yesterday now waiting for that rally expansion

[sleek swallow]

speaking of updates that didn't add anything, the FH5 rally DLC

[dense torrent]

That rally expansion looks fun to try

And since H1 Rally expansion is delisted

[sleek swallow]

wow the same old races but with a PNG added to the HUD and 5 voice lines

[dense torrent]

I mean not to defend H5 but H1 Rally was like that as well

[sleek swallow]

surely you expect some degree of improvement over 10 odd years

[dense torrent]

Let's just see what happens because it's not like there isn't anything else happening

Unbound Keys to Map dlc got leaked for the 21st

[sleek swallow]

to be expected, classic microtransaction

[dense torrent]

Along with some clothes DLC

The keys to the map is fine but a clothes DLC

Yeah that's not a good sign

[sleek swallow]

yeah not great

trying to think of a genuinely good racing game update in the last 10 years now

not gonna count BeamNG as it's a bit more than racing

[dense torrent]

Idk why some fans would defend that they are focusing on clothes brand

Then actual cars and brands

[sleek swallow]

if the same teams do cars and clothes I'd be concerned

[dense torrent]

Their Instagram stories has them been promoting clothes

[sleek swallow]

well they got annoyed at their only PR (the unhinged dude who memed on everyone on twitter) so yeah

[dense torrent]

Mainly Namilia

[sleek swallow]

whoever they are

[dense torrent]

I wonder how Rocky feels about the game

[sleek swallow]

all I want are cars, mods, races and payout increases... maybe some handling fixed as I hate how inconsistent every car is

[sleek swallow]

"I got paid for nothing and got a free car, plus this is the first time anybody has heard of my music, I did good"

[dense torrent]

Man I want Audi and Sunlike R34 kit

They had to remove them for clothes

[sleek swallow]

I think we both know that's not how that works but if it helps you cope I guess

[dense torrent]

I mean they definitely have the money to keep them

Why remove them

[sleek swallow]

I do agree they shouldn't have been removed at all but yeah, let's not make this into something that it isn't

also you forget they also removed own-brand parts so it could just be Criterion doing stuff

[dense torrent]

I bet Criterion is doing the remove content then adding back later as free updates

Why does game devs have to do this

[sleek swallow]

management fun ig

and consumers let them too which doesn't help

[dense torrent]

I am more mad that they had extra time after they worked on 2042 and feels like they didn't take the time

[sleek swallow]

It was a 2 year dev cycle

2042 took up roughly a year

they also had to pick up Ghosts project, this is Criterions Rivals only they had more than 5 months lmao

and before you say they're the same staff, some are, a lot aren't. Have that on good authority plus people don't tend to like moving countries for work

[dense torrent]

Ik the studio half are old and half are new then they got one of Criterion studios to merge at the mid end

[sleek swallow]

something like that

I am upset Ghost got axed, they weren't able to build the studio to size but they did at least try

[latent echo]

ngl I think I'm gonna quit fh5

something about that game makes it so boring

[sleek swallow]

I did after the first 3 days, with exceptions for friends

[latent echo]

I have nearly 1k cars

in the game

[sleek swallow]

you need something else to do mate

[latent echo]

I'm doing something esle

else

[dense torrent]

I am barely finishing H5

[latent echo]

I haven't turned on the game since december

[dense torrent]

And trying out that HotWheels expansion for my first time

[dense torrent]

I feel like they were better the more I think about it

[sleek swallow]

every game they tried to appeal to the fans

Payback got taken off the road as everyone knows

[latent echo]

when did ghost die

[sleek swallow]

but they actually fucking tried

Criterion just fucked about, made NFS Forza and added some shitty crayons

[dense torrent]

The marketing really killed them

There is no launch trailer rven

[sleek swallow]

the game killed them

Heat similarly had little marketing but word of mouth prevailed

[dense torrent]

Heat market is honestly pretty good

Their reveal trailer was #1 trending in YT

And Heat Studio was already great

[lavish crest]

Heat even had a customization app and personalized reveal trailers along with them

Unbound had drops but nothing crazy

[sleek swallow]

Heat Studio was a smart move, do not remember the trailer trending at all but maybe it was different in the US

I do know that Heat kept selling in the UK right up to the end

[lavish crest]

Oh yeah, it definitely trended

[sleek swallow]

fairs

it was a good trailer tbf

hyped and showed what everyone wanted to see

[lavish crest]

all the marketing NFS Unbound got coulda been alot better but it wasn't the worst

[sleek swallow]

I think the quantity was similar but the quality was worse

[lavish crest]

oh yeah

absolutely

[dense torrent]

Ik fans would go back and watch them and say they still bring more hype then any other games

[sleek swallow]

trailer is like a 1:1 clone without the feels

[sleek swallow]

I was rewatching it for months lol

[lavish crest]

the gameplay trailer took forever and the customization trailer(s) didn't show very much

[sleek swallow]

they added no customisation for this game meaning there was nothing to show

[lavish crest]

They did add customization lmao

they just didn't show it

[sleek swallow]

they added some for select cars

and removed a bunch of others

made some universal parts like wingmirrors not universal

[lavish crest]

a few others, only like 3 or 4 bodykits in total last time I checked

[sleek swallow]

removed/retextured exhausts

not really what people wanted

[lavish crest]

but a handful of old cars Ghost never bothered to touch got one to three bodykits

[sleek swallow]

I'll have to find those cars, hopefully they're not gaudy

[dense torrent]

Man I miss Ghost still and would've love to see Heat get the updates and content

[sleek swallow]

really aughta hack money into the SP tbh

[lavish crest]

and then a couple, granted it should've been all, special version cars (911 GT2, Turbo S, etc.) got some actual customization from their counterparts instead of what Heat had going for them

[sleek swallow]

icon cars was a bad idea

[dense torrent]

I don't mind Icon cars but they drag the M3 GTR for so long

[sleek swallow]

glad they've done that for some of the cars, miffed that wasn't communicated and they removed the customisation score so nobody knows

[dense torrent]

I swear they should've had the BM RX7 or Ryan Cooper 280SX for the day event side story

[lavish crest]

Even though you can't do much to them, I like that Heat's special cars were optional bodykits

and even with the kits, the liveries and wheels were still changeable which is nice

[sleek swallow]

just make the icon cars NFS Editions

let them be customised

[lavish crest]

exactly

[sleek swallow]

and have one for each game

easy af

but they don't fucking do it

it's not even gonna be that hard to do either

ignore that ghost spent ages making the old NFS kit's fit the perfevtly scanned irl models without making them look wrong

[lavish crest]

I think if they did add them back, and I think they will in an update, they'd likely make those legendary customs, with the actual hero car itself being purchasable as the hero car

[sleek swallow]

hm, maybe

maybe they'll make them subscription only too though

[lavish crest]

Let's hope not, only time will tell though

[dense torrent]

Yeah that might be the case

The M3 GTR is still not available to non members

Plus I wouldn't trust Criterion making more cars if something like this slip through the cracks

[sleek swallow]

I spent ages in the endgame trying to get the car

found out the hard way

apparently they take it off you when your sub ends too?

[lavish crest]

the thing is the M3 GTR is "given early" for subrscribers

[dense torrent]

Yeah

[sleek swallow]

incredible

[lavish crest]

So I'm thinking it's probably gonna be available to the rest later on

[dense torrent]

I had the car taken away when my EA Play died on the PS5

And I spent money on the car

Like performance parts

Didn't even get the money back even

[lavish crest]

it's small enough to be missed so eh

[sleek swallow]

they seem to have done something with the wraps

if you customise a car with the wrap you can see edge lines where the old body parts were etc

[dense torrent]

They would've noticed it

[sleek swallow]

idk why they did this, it seems super random

[dense torrent]

They didn't port the M3 GTR from Heat

It feels like it is from scratch

The coloring is also different

[sleek swallow]

dumb to waste that work tbh

[dense torrent]

Besides that minor mistake it's not a great car to use

[sleek swallow]

let me customise it though, so I don't have to put that much effort into making the black edition

[dense torrent]

It's pretty weak in the higher tiers

[sleek swallow]

handling issues?

or just slow in higher gears?

[dense torrent]

It's slow in higher gears

It's a S+ class and I tried to max it

[sleek swallow]

is this compared to the regera or the other cars?

[dense torrent]

Other cars

Back in Heat it was weak too on max

And my last issue with Unbound and it bugs me

How is Unbound current gen only

[sleek swallow]

that doesn't bother me tbh

[lavish crest]

you made that complaint before already

[sleek swallow]

the game should run better

but it could not run on the base last gen consoles

[lavish crest]

the issue isn't current only, the issue is poor optimisation

[sleek swallow]

those bastards were 4 years old when they were released

[lavish crest]

exactly

If you tried playing Unbound on a Base PS4 it just wouldn't handle it

[dense torrent]

Yeah due to the shit optimization

If only they worked on it

[lavish crest]

thats alot of games though lol

[dense torrent]

If you cap the 30FPS

Then it should be fine

[sleek swallow]

30fps 😬

[dense torrent]

I mean

That's normal for PS4 and One

[sleek swallow]

even if the game was optimised

[lavish crest]

inb4 they just do what they did with the PS2 and just make pure Payback reskins and call it "Unbound" lol

[sleek swallow]

I do not see it running at 30 on the base Xbone and PS4

[dense torrent]

I could

[sleek swallow]

maybe if they removed the smackables

and pedestrians

[dense torrent]

Yeah

[sleek swallow]

downed the textures

[dense torrent]

That's all they gotta do

[sleek swallow]

used upscaling

maybe you could get 20

[lavish crest]

maybe the resolution a bit

[sleek swallow]

but man, those consoles were so poor back in 2013/4 when they launched

I'm sick of them holding gaming back

[dense torrent]

Traffic isn't pack anyways as they

[sleek swallow]

just like the "pro" versions

[dense torrent]

It's funny

People say the Series S holds back

[sleek swallow]

it does

[dense torrent]

I seen Unbound running on the S and yikes they should've capped it

[sleek swallow]

do I need to break out the ID statement again (before they were bought out)

[dense torrent]

If they had to make the game on the Series S

Might as well do it on the last gen

[sleek swallow]

they can't though

[dense torrent]

Because they suck

[sleek swallow]

Sony and MS don't allow you to make last gen games that only support the pro models lmao

that's why

[dense torrent]

I bet the One X can be better since it is technically stronger then the S in some areas

[sleek swallow]

It has a stronger GPU, slightly

weaker CPU

[dense torrent]

More memory tho

[sleek swallow]

so it's basically the same

[dense torrent]

I can see alot of benefits with that extra ram

[sleek swallow]

can store higher quality textures but not process them

so in reality it's not a big deal

[dense torrent]

Man idk I don't see Unbound taking the current gen hardware besides the loafing screen

The graphics isn't as impressive the more I played

[sleek swallow]

you may not, go back and play Heat on a base console (it struggled) and then you will

[dense torrent]

Heat never dropped frames

[sleek swallow]

even if it was optimised

[dense torrent]

Ok maybe in one random area

But that's it

[sleek swallow]

try playing Unbound on a 10 year old low end PC

that would still be a better experience than a base PS4/XBone

welcome to time and computer hardware

[dense torrent]

Disagreed since PC got more issues like the memory leaks and the GPU being broken at tomes

Base console at best will drop a few frames but that's it

[sleek swallow]

like seriously, I'll hate on literally any NFS you ask me to (even fucking Carbon), but I don't see it being biable at all

[lavish crest]

ngl I only had memory leaks when I tabbed out

[sleek swallow]

memory leaks are a software issue, GPUs being broken at times is you owning faulty hardware

like mate

I work in computers

[lavish crest]

I have worse issues with GTA though, tabbing out causes the game to become unplayable bc the framrate is horrendous

[sleek swallow]

I spent over 10 years building and speccing them

I know my shit

[dense torrent]

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.techpowerup.com/301693/rtx-4090-has-issues-with-need-for-speed-unbound-that-can-only-be-fixed-with-a-vbios-update%3Famp

[lavish crest]

especially when doing timed missions bc the time goes on as normal while I'm driving significantly slower than I should be

[sleek swallow]

your base model PS4 is a 2009/2010 AMD PC

[dense torrent]

That GPU just came out and it already has major issues

[lavish crest]

my gpu doesn't have these issues and it's not as good

[sleek swallow]

firmware issue, is easily patched, where's the major issue and how many 4090s do you own?

this is kinda like me pointing to the overplayed PS5 liquid metal "issue" and saying it's a major issue that everyone has

[dense torrent]

Changing the topic I see

From Unbound having optimization issues to now the Ps5 liquid

[sleek swallow]

who is sorry?

[sleek swallow]

I'm responding to this? do you comprehend english???

[dense torrent]

.

[lavish crest]

using examples =/= changing the topic

[sleek swallow]

making a direct comparison to what you said lmao

[dense torrent]

Whatever but still the game shouldn't even have issues if Criterion even tried

[sleek swallow]

mate the hardware is ten years old

AMD CPUs got good only 5 years ago

and those first gen ryzen chips aged poorly

like

yes the game definitely should be better optimised on all platforms

my 7900xt should be hitting 200fps in it easily

but man

[dense torrent]

Games like CoD MW2 are still being supported on last gen and it performs fine enough

[sleek swallow]

it's not gonna run clean on a base PS4, and it's not gonna be pretty on a PS4 pro

[dense torrent]

I don't even get what Criterion said about this

If everything still feels dead

[sleek swallow]

MW2 is quite a different game

idk how well it runs but I imagine it's not pretty soon as it is also a poorly optimised game

[lavish crest]

honestly it's still a racing game at the end of the day, and the only racing game to have a ton of traffic was midnight club, and Undercover specifically during highway races

[sleek swallow]

midnight club crawled too XD

[dense torrent]

I want my maps to be alive and when they made that comment I was happy to see that the city will be alive

[sleek swallow]

pretty certain I could run quicker than that game at times XD

[dense torrent]

Just to see 2 or 3 cars

[lavish crest]

it is more dense with parked cars and peds all over the place, just because they're not driving or not isn't really a big deal

[sleek swallow]

no I'm with sleepy here, there could definitely be more AI cars

[lavish crest]

i guess

[sleek swallow]

the peds and parked cars make the city feel more alive that Heat though

[lavish crest]

I personally don't mind since it's still a racing game, too much traffic gets really annoying over time

[dense torrent]

They said they were gonna deliver a more living world

The highways are super empty

[sleek swallow]

that said heat feels more alive when you're playing it anyway so

[lavish crest]

One of my only couple of issues with Midnight Club

[dense torrent]

Like come on push the CPU

This is embarrassing

[lavish crest]

I'll admit that though, highways should have more ai

but thats not much of a big deal anyways

[sleek swallow]

I think it takes from the thrill of street racing when the roads are that empty

[dense torrent]

Yeah it really does

Undercover highway battles were really fun

[sleek swallow]

argument to be made it's a balancing act to make the casuals not get mad but

sounds like it's time for me to beat the Undercover is Underrated drum again

[lavish crest]

again, the only nfs to have a ton of traffic is undercover and it's one of it's strong points

so yeah I can agree tbh

[dense torrent]

Even MCLA also did that and it was fun

[lavish crest]

Especially after trying no hesi, which was awful, I do think a bit more traffic would be fun

[sleek swallow]

I do wonder if NFS could do both high traffic levels and B2D at the same time

nore traffic means you need more control

[dense torrent]

Now that's fun

[lavish crest]

Then again, custom lobbies, they could make traffic density an option with that

[dense torrent]

That one feature we will never get

[lavish crest]

who knows

[dense torrent]

Also when will they add cops to MP Criterion

[lavish crest]

who knows

you can't complain about something that's yet to be confirmed

[sleek swallow]

probably first update

[dense torrent]

I mean Heat had it day one

[sleek swallow]

not that they'll be good

[lavish crest]

that's because mp was tied to sp

they separated the two tbf

[dense torrent]

That's not really a excuse

To completely remove them

[sleek swallow]

I like the separate MP, it really should have made cops a part of it's progression

[lavish crest]

I dunno, Most Wanted doesn't have cops in it's separate mp

[dense torrent]

I am still mad about that

[lavish crest]

neither did Payback

Rivals, Heat, and 2015 are alldrive games so

[dense torrent]

Payback didn't have free roam cops sadly in SP

[sleek swallow]

the less we say about MW13 multi the better

same with payback cops

[lavish crest]

MP still coulda gotten bait crates but didn't

[sleek swallow]

point is, they got it right with heat so how did they fuck it up after Heat

like

Heat was a direct response to Paybacks criticisms, including Paybacks multi and cops

how do you just forget all that

[dense torrent]

Man I wish Heat had speedlist

[sleek swallow]

especially when it's clear Ghost had started on Unbound to begin with

[lavish crest]

NFS never had MP cops when they were seperate, besides the HP games which doesn't count for obvious reasons

Unbound will be the first in the entire franchise to actually do it once they do add it

[rustic isle]

bring back pvp cops

cop eliminator mode

from carbon

team escape

[dense torrent]

Undercover online game modes were fun

[lavish crest]

yes they were

[rustic isle]

cops and robbers

[dense torrent]

2042 ate their time or smt

Is what I usually hear when I talk about missing stuff

[sleek swallow]

I mean it did eat their time

it took 1 year of their 3 years

[lavish crest]

Heat is an alldrive game, it's moreso bringing MP functionalities to the SP, they're not seperate modes

The brought MP to it's own section and decided to work on other shit and bring in cops later

[sleek swallow]

what other shit though?

like actually

what is new in unbound gameplay wise?

[dense torrent]

Idk if it's me but it feels like there is barely any cutscenes and story moments in SP

[sleek swallow]

the only new thing I can think of is that you have to drive to the speedlist menus now XD

[dense torrent]

Why did they remove quick travel

Or well they forgot to tick it on

[sleek swallow]

why did they remove the quick GPS in the multi

[lavish crest]

quick gps was for active events

but yeah i wish they'd have added them anyways

if im honest i think mp wasn't their main focus, everything else was, and they'd work on mp after launch

i dunno

[dense torrent]

I only understand they are off if we got Heat

SP doesn't feel well put together

[lavish crest]

the story isn't so crazy but then again nfs hasn't really been very crazy besides The Run and Undercover

and Carbon

SP in Unbound

I've been trying to explain it but the best I can say bc I'm kinda clouded rn anyways is it's NFS

[dense torrent]

4 weeks feels small

[lavish crest]

NFS stories were always weird in how they play out

Honestly it's not excruciatingly short like Heat, it's not excruciatingly long like MW or U2, and the side missions are a good aspect to it

[dense torrent]

One more week would've been fine

[lavish crest]

I'd want the story to continue with Alec and everything, but the story as is isn't so crazy, it's not like Payback or Heat where they play it off like there's meant to be more

Unbound as it plays out in story works fine, yes, I'd like it to be a bit longer but it's not like it didn't any time at all

[dense torrent]

The characters doesn't feel likeable

[lavish crest]

and honestly looking back at sp after the story, there might not be much to do but then again I think Unbound feels really old school as an NFS so personally I could forgive it, 2015 had replayability, Payback was a bit too stretched out but that's probably just because it's painful to sit through, and Heat's sp dies out fast and becomes boring in an instant

[dense torrent]

I want to shoot both Jaz and Tess due to how annoying they are and being unlikable

[lavish crest]

Nah, Shimizu is a likeable character, and Lyric genuinely makes you want to beat him when he talks his shit, Justicia as well, and the Civic guy is just goofy cringey stoner dude but I can't help but laugh

[dense torrent]

They aren't story characters tho

They are just Ai

[lavish crest]

But you're racing with those characters

[sleek swallow]

Big ups Tess tbh

she did her job

[dense torrent]

But they don't serve the storyline

[rustic isle]

i want to ryde rydell

[sleek swallow]

That's his onlyfans

[lavish crest]

Yaz is the villain, she's not the best villain, but she's likable

[dense torrent]

I found her annoying and cringe even

[sleek swallow]

Is Yaz the villain though? I never felt like "oh she is the bad guy"

[rustic isle]

more like rival

[dense torrent]

She is the bad guy for taking the car

[sleek swallow]

I didn't feel there was a bad guy

[dense torrent]

That she worked on

[sleek swallow]

as alec was completely forgotten about

[lavish crest]

She's the rival rather, the villain if anything would be alec even if he never really appears

[dense torrent]

Alec just exists to make Jaz the bad person

[lavish crest]

They could have him come out of the shadows and do something about everything but idk if they ever will, it doesn't really matter

[sleek swallow]

you both worked on it and it was Rydell's late dads car, though that last bit wasn't really communicated

[dense torrent]

Yeah

[sleek swallow]

Unbounds story was weak overall

[dense torrent]

The dialog is painful

[lavish crest]

honestly I'd like to see those cars that were stolen from Rydell make a return

[dense torrent]

We did got some Rydell cars they were stolen

[lavish crest]

oh, the painful dialogue came from the male player va

besides that it was fine

[sleek swallow]

Tess was the highlight as she was the only character who felt like a personality, her and Rydell's interactions were kinda smart the rest kinda felt flat and like fanservice

Noticeably a MW05 rehash vibe with the story yknow

[lavish crest]

yeah

[rustic isle]

i was expecting the politician plot line to be relevant in the end
like the mayor was the one who gave alec the money for the grand, so that street racing would be more rampant, justifying more policing,
then the plan would be to ambush all the racers at the grand, arrest them, and then make the mayor look good for the election

[lavish crest]

minus the cringey college kid wannabe gangster shit tbf

[dense torrent]

Ngl I thought Rocky would've been the main bad guy after watching the reveal trailer

[lavish crest]

Honestly I wanna play through unbound again but

[sleek swallow]

You expected them to spend more than 5 minutes on the story

[lavish crest]

how lol

[sleek swallow]

Wait, you expected Rocky to be the bad guy???

[dense torrent]

Well

[rustic isle]

zero media literacy

[sleek swallow]

After he was super chill for the entire trailer

[dense torrent]

That cutscene with that race did got me a idea

[lavish crest]

All he had was a scene of him saying he was betting his car lmao

[sleek swallow]

no shittalking or anything

that scene wasn't even in the game lmao

[dense torrent]

I wonder about that scene when the cops raid to the underground scene

[sleek swallow]

nor were the cops in the event xdddd

mannnnnnnnnnnn

[lavish crest]

Rocky's place in the game is he's the guy who brought takeovers into the city

[sleek swallow]

second time cutscenes were trailer only for no reason

[stable timber]

WHAT 💀💀💀💀💀

[dense torrent]

He wasn't even hard

He got stuck and didn't move

[sleek swallow]

Rocky is Mac from Payback? He brought speedcross back

[lavish crest]

ehhh I wanna say this

[rustic isle]

rocky isnt even a good racer
he gives you the most in bets
but isnt that good

[lavish crest]

Takeover >>>>> Speedcross

they did it much better

[dense torrent]

They are both the same

[stable timber]

In the trailer, He was just mocking the player lmfao

[sleek swallow]

It's cos the 190E is fucking shit

[stable timber]

^

[rustic isle]

^

[sleek swallow]

worst car in the game

actually

level with the Crown Vic, has to be

[rustic isle]

rocky would be faster if he used the eclipse

[sleek swallow]

but the Crown vic at least doesn't try to snap your arms off

[lavish crest]

funny enough he kept up with me when I raced him

He was easy but he kept up

[dense torrent]

Let me see if I can find the article

[stable timber]

Crown vic having a extremely high top speed in the game in a game where you want to have the least top speed as possible

[lavish crest]

Anyway, takeovers feel alot more organic, fits better and doesn't feel like a GTA stunt race setup, and also to hell with the zone bullshit, they just mashed it all together instead which I like better

[dense torrent]

I was thinking of Carbon with this

[sleek swallow]

I think I was a mile ahead of ASAP, and I used the Evija which feels pretty slow

[sleek swallow]

IGN moment

[lavish crest]

emira*

[sleek swallow]

same shit it's 9PM

[stable timber]

IGN moment

[lavish crest]

the evija is the one with the ugly concept looking rear end

[dense torrent]

Matt Webster said that

IGN was just asking

[sleek swallow]

it's not a direct quote though

meaning it was rewritten

[stable timber]

IGN moment

[sleek swallow]

yeah precisely

[dense torrent]

What would Matt say then

[sleek swallow]

I feel like American's weren't taught to think critically

or like

read between the lines

they kinda just read

[stable timber]

Rocky is the guy at the takeover event that talk shit or praise you

[sleek swallow]

I think they did say he was the person who did the takeover events

but the moment you saw the takeover events in the trailers

you knew what was up

[dense torrent]

Yeah it felt lacking

[sleek swallow]

Man I love that Payback DLC that I didn't enjoy at all nor finish

I am so glad they added it to Unbound with no changes

[dense torrent]

I like the speed cross but it was hard due to the input delay that my PS4 and PS5 kept causing but still Unbound it is fine enough

Wish we really take over those areas

[lavish crest]

Speedcross was fun

Takeovers are fun too

they both fit their respective games too

[sleek swallow]

I don't see the fun tbh

[lavish crest]

Takeovers fit the illegal street vibe nicely and Speedcross is as dumb as Payback itself

[sleek swallow]

It's way more of a puzzle

and it doesn't feel illegal at all

[lavish crest]

its just stunt racing at the end of the day

would make sense if it's not your cup of tea

[sleek swallow]

spend hours setting up wooden barriers in a construction zone both at day and night

[sleek swallow]

Where's the stunts?

[lavish crest]

it's not burnout so there won't be crazy out of this world stunts lmao

its just jumps, smashing, dodging, and drifting

and you also have fast driving ofc

bc you do lose potential points the longer you take to get to the next checkpoint

like ProStreet's sector shootouts

[sleek swallow]

you lose points but you can gain more by sliding around so it negated itself a little

I view it way more as a really simple puzzle

you see the three paths and you decide which order to take them

[lavish crest]

geez guy thats no fun thinking like that

[sleek swallow]

you tap nos to protect your 5x thing

[lavish crest]

"making it back" when you can add both together, you're still losing points

[sleek swallow]

that way you keep your multi and won't miss any of the smackables

[sleek swallow]

I mean it worked way more effectively for me so idk dude, you tell me

[lavish crest]

honestly thats the only gripe I have about it, it shouldn't have been general nitrous use but perfect shots instead

[sleek swallow]

I'm not saying you go really slow but yeah

oh and smashing into barriers isn't a stunt, it's more of a "can you control the car"

jumps are boring cos they're all forced (when will NFS undo the Forza and make jumps an achievement/special again?)

[lavish crest]

the checkpoints are just another addition to your score is what I'm saying, if you can drift while going as fast as you can you can get an even higher score than you would focusing entirely on the drift alone

[sleek swallow]

don't have to dodge anything, there is the odd negative points barrier but they're just making the road "narrow" (I use that term lightly)

by the end of it, it's just boring, you do three and you've seen them all

no real variation in the events at all, and the drifting/driving isn't good enough to make them engaging

[lavish crest]

i mean ofc it's "can you control your car" lmao

a stunt wouldn't be so great if you wrecked

not to mention some smashables are supposed to be avoided

and you get combo bonuses if you smash certain things while drifting

[sleek swallow]

mate it's B2D the car control is so hand holdy yet inadequate it's like

hard to miss the barriers, also hard to feel like you've actually done anything

[lavish crest]

you're essentially nitpicking at this for no reason, like I said this isn't exactly burnout where you're doing crazy flips and spinning in mid-air. stunts aren't all just that

[sleek swallow]

Not for no reason, because the game mode is 1:1 what it was in Payback and everyone agreed they were not really anything interesting or special when they were added to Payback

I'm not asking for literal stuntman PS2 tier shit

[lavish crest]

but guess what

[sleek swallow]

Just make it interesting, make the track layouts interesting, make the car interesting

[lavish crest]

its a game mode

[sleek swallow]

use the terrain better

make the game better

[lavish crest]

it isnt there to be the greatest thing ever

[sleek swallow]

not exactly rocket science

[lavish crest]

its a game mode meant to be fun, which it was

it is fun doing dumb shit while it's the goal of the mode

[sleek swallow]

You can find it fun, I am saying they could have added spice to make it fun to me

[lavish crest]

whereas you're slowing yourself down and risking loss doing these things in a race

you're being tasked and rewarded to do them in these events

thats the point

[sleek swallow]

Ranun, I am glad you brought that last point up

because smackables in Unbound don't slow you down, and it is often way faster to just smash through them and cut

the drifting is also still faster than grip except on sweeping corners

[lavish crest]

not it's not lmao

[sleek swallow]

and the jumps, yeah they are slower, they are also forced ina number of the races

therefore, you can in fact do all of these things in a race and still win

I like adding other game modes, it's what racing games need

they just also need to have some pizazz to set them apart and make them feel different

When your game has 3 modes, racing, takeovers and takeovers but without the smackables, you really need to set them apart

you need to bring the fire

there was no fire

there wasn't even a warm breeze

[lavish crest]

smashables dont slow you down tremendously but they still slow you down, even if you can cut for a shorter route, generally smashables will slow you down regardless, especially when there is no road to cut, drifting slows you down significantly faster than just turning a corner and only benefits you if you're about to understeer into a wall, but it doesn't make you faster unless you're burst nossing into a tight corner, as for jumps, its only one or two courses that have "forced" jumps, one of which not even being forced, but was optional as a matter of fact, especially considering that jump lead to dirt which also slows you down

I'm not bringing any fire, I'm just saying

[sleek swallow]

was referring to the game modes not you

[lavish crest]

sorry i misread that

[sleek swallow]

also if you read my comment about the drifting being faster you would have seen I made an exception for sweeping corners, a lot of the tight ones are slower especially with how unreliable grip turns are for awarding you NOS

[lavish crest]

honestly most of the drift racing sucks though, but there are some good genuine drift courses that I enjoy alot, and I've run them a bunch

Nah, gripping is alot faster than drift in those tight corners if you can pull it off

It's just a matter of driving line and the use of simple slow-in fast-out

I've won alot of drifter's delight because of those tight curves and my cars are strictly grip tuned

Even in cars that weren't as fast as the opponents

drifting feels faster but it's really not

[sleek swallow]

I am impressed tbh

your opponents must be pretty poor

[lavish crest]

say what you will ig

[sleek swallow]

I race a mix of grip and drift depending on the corners

as always, you aim for the microdrifts as you get both Grip and Drift NOS (unless the game bugs and doesn't give you Grip NOS)

[lavish crest]

there has only been one corner I have ever struggled with in grip

and that's because it's a weirdly elevated and sharp corner just off the mountain roads

but even then I've been working on it and have been getting huge gaps between me and drifters with it

[sleek swallow]

cool ig

idk what more to say here

[wraith atlas]

It's not an excuse it's an industry problem

[rustic isle]

razer if he had a good car

[dense torrent]

Ik it is and people would defend it

[lavish crest]

who defends bad optimization lmao

[dense torrent]

People who has a PC that is worth 2K or smt

I talked to some people in El Pee server and heard Unbound optimization is fine and most of our PCs is shit

[lavish crest]

Yeah no

Levi’s PC is better than mine and ran worse and I was using ultra settings at the time

My laptop doesn’t run Unbound as smooth as I want it though so I put it on Auto

but then again it should run better than it does, bc when I do change graphical setting the game will fuck itself up

Heat does it too

Payback and 2015 don’t

[dense torrent]

I heard Angryboi say Heat optimization is fine and my PC was dirty

[lavish crest]

so idk why that’s gradually getting worse

lmao

Heat optimization sucks

I mean I have a budget gaming laptop but like

If I can run a fuckton of other modern games at max settings smoothly @ 60fps, idk why Heat won’t at high

[dense torrent]

My laptop can barely run it but the huge CPU usage is what it kills it

[lavish crest]

I think its CPU usage that fucks mine over too tbh

[dense torrent]

When I tried Unbound yeah it would crash after 10 minutes

The game just had a bad CPU usage and somehow Unbound is worse

[lavish crest]

If they fixed it I’d probably be able to play at least high settings

rip

[dense torrent]

I saw Xbox consoles suffers too from it

Series X would be approx 55-60FPS

Series S can go as low to 45FPS

[lavish crest]

eh that’s not too bad tbh

[dense torrent]

Then I had this

You can say those are bad but the fact it does happen on consoles does shows how bad their optimization is

If consoles has issues too

[full zodiac]

consoles? you mean the consoles they were built for?
that sucks man

[lavish crest]

This is the only other car that's from another NFS besides the M3 GTR to end up in Unbound

[celest lantern]

Isn't ex-Rydell's cars came from Heat ?

Well this one's definitely is

Yep

That GTR's from one of the AI

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXPvsYIqCfI

https://youtu.be/0Z48A-D1Zmc?t=345

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHf-l486Ze4

Really enjoyed this scene

Truly gave a fresh spin

on the MW05 style betrayal

and TIME is HARD

[full zodiac]

A Riot Club car that showed up in one race?? smh

[lavish crest]

It's one of the 200 race AI

[rustic isle]

and i dont remember a single ai car from heat

[sleek swallow]

I remember Yaru's in Unbound and thats it, Heat I know none, Payback it's that 1% boss's and that's vague, 2015 none

[rustic isle]

i rememebr all the unbound cars

because they had their own characters and theyd draw attention to them in pre race locations and intros and stuff

[lavish crest]

replaying the grand lol

oh bc they were disqualified lmao

[magic dune]

mild headache indeed

[lavish crest]

????

[lavish crest]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HhEs9Skzro

[idle void]

So they said something about "The Worlds fastest leather armchair"
Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ Maybe?

[lavish crest]

I doubt that

[idle void]

What else do you think it could be then?

[lavish crest]

A Bentley probably

I was thinking Bentley

[idle void]

So like Conti SS?

or the concept

[lavish crest]

concept is a stretch

but probably the Continental or Bentayga maybe

[scarlet dove]

Disappointing

[sleek swallow]

yuh

[lavish crest]

says the A9 player

[latent echo]

he now

the trvl man

[scarlet dove]

At least A9 gets better and more consistent updates + content

[lavish crest]

yes, 3 cars that dont exist and nothing else

[scarlet dove]

More then 3 cars

Most of the time there are production cars in the line up

New events and time trials

Etc.

More than unbounds pathetic 2 cars and features that should have been at launch

[lavish crest]

ah yeah "new events and time trials"

do this same event but in the new car that costs real money or hours of grinding to get

my bad

[stable timber]

Bro really think a ptw mobile game is good 😭😭😭😭😭

[scarlet dove]

Yes it is

[scarlet dove]

Still better then 2 cars and basic features, in 3 months

[lavish crest]

for a game that nobody cares about

that only has the budget to do it bc people are dumb enough to spend fortunes on it

not to mention the forza levels of low poly

[scarlet dove]

Don't look low poly to me

[lavish crest]

those look like forza lmao

[scarlet dove]

What's wrong with that

[lavish crest]

you're right

you wouldn't want to fry your phone after all

btw

its 2 cars, cops, a new activity, and more and new races

[scarlet dove]

Shouldn't take 3 months for that

[lavish crest]

it took one dumbass

[scarlet dove]

Not counting that small patch, it's been around 3 months since launch and. This one 'major' update that should had things at launch

[lavish crest]

before the patch they most likely took a break

i mean

they're humans

[scarlet dove]

Gameloft and Firemonkeys are human too.

Yet both are able to pump out good consistent updates for their racers.

[fickle cradle]

Koenigsegg Jesko

[stable timber]

Are obligated to pump out content or daddy gameloft will shutdown the studio*

[neon saffron]

Yes but they’re only working a single game while criterion works on battlefield 2042 and unbound

And keep in mind they have to delay the game development and remove many shit because of the lack of time and bf2042

[sleek swallow]

I can't support either game on this one really

Asphalt is... well it's asphalt not exactly the beacon of gaming

and Unbounds new patch is pretty lacking

[celest lantern]

Can't blame ya dude

[lavish crest]

Someone said BF2042 had more content in their updates

so compared to that, Unbound is pretty underwhelming

but even then I'm still happy with it

[celest lantern]

Same enough

[pearl mason]

I don't need much,more races and big balance patch

Drag races would be fun too

NFS underground style

[celest lantern]

I want a drag race

passing the freakin' express train

[lavish crest]

thats basically what we got

not the drag race bit but like

they're changing up the playlists, there are new courses, we got a new activity to do in free roam

[celest lantern]

That you've seen in the vol2. trailer/rapid transit

[lavish crest]

and they're likely fixing the balancing, especially considering cars like the Camaro and 488

[pearl mason]

Skyline 2k, f40 and rsr should be touched a bit too

Or maybe other cars should be buffed

Not sure which is a better way

Cuz I'f you bring down those few ,then another few will appear to be beyond everyone else

So maybe bringing up the ass cars is a way to go

Not sure

There's always gonna be a fastest car

besides those cars aren't completely broken like the 488 or, to a short extent, the golf

I just realized

I never earned this until just now

[lavish crest]

Welp, I've done it

400 hours on Unbound

[latent echo]

its a big new game bro

takes a while to code all that

[lavish crest]

must be nice

being able to add 3 cars per two weeks

in a mobile game

where every car drives the same

basically copy paste, with a new scanned model

[lavish crest]

AAA games are a different issue

yes, big money greedy corporations

yes, they're scum

no, games, even after 2 years or 3 months, require alot of time and effort to work on

People want a mountain of content in the matter of a month and it just won't happen in any game

Finally

🙏

Ima take back what I said

There is alot of fixes and QoL improvements

I want to see this idle camera now

[rustic isle]

Again, it's obviously more than just "adding cops and two existing cars"
