That’s like saying you never liked that guy John because his mum was mean to you when you were little. It has absolutely no merit on the final product the actual game. I agree with most of your points here except the first one and the one about worrying what street your on.įirst off, the fact that it’s published by EA literally has nothing to do with the rest of your points. The meat and bones of it IS an awesome game, but so many bad decisions in such critical areas. Don't kink shame.Īlso the cars were way too delicate, they were made out of like plastic cup or something, you could cause a freeway pile-up with an unkind word. Like a dick that just hangs in your face when you're trying to play a video game. It was just always there, annoying me, insisting I want it to be there when I do not. It could've been innocuous, I'm sure for most it was completely ignorable. There was no way to turn that feature off. They just made up fake rad internet friends who fake did rad car shit and told you over the fake internet. Which of course means a lot of checking the map, since the layout out of the streets were designed by some civil engineer who was more interested in summoning Gozer than actually creating a navigable city.Īnd I don't totally remember the dick-in-your-face-internet thing, but the game was made during that particular instance of 'EA telling their studios all games must have this feature' and the feature was CONSTANTLY telling you about all the Rad Shit that was happening online. How do you make a racing game without the ability to restart a race? If I'm in the last 20 seconds of a 90 second race and I drive my car off an overpass into a truck, the fastest way to restart is to quit the race, which was buried in a D-pad menu for some reason, and drive all the way back. I loved the open world, what I couldn't stand was the CONSTANT dick-in-your-face-internet presence and the inability to restart a race.
