Holy crap does this game suck.
I'm going to save my time with this and just wait for the new Hot Pursuit.
I only played 2 tutorial races and took part in a pursuit. Honestly, this is crap. All it seems to me is who has the best power ups. And using power ups in a single player pursuit chase? One of them being Emergency Evade which sends cop cars flying? Please. What a joke. I don't know why but the minute I saw powerups in this game I instantly had a hate for it. I hate what NFS has become. I hated the whole tuning of vehicles and shit when all I want do is pick a car and race. I can let the tuner aspect slide but powerups no. I want to play NFS, not fucking Mario Kart. Where is the skill in racing when all you have the ability to send traffic flying at a player? Where's the skill in evading police when you can use a power up to push the cops who cornered you? Not even 10 mins into the game and I already hate it.
Well I discovered that I was in the closed beta but never realized because I don't check my Hotmail account (which is what my ea account is linked to, has been for a while) and discovered this, the day the closed beta ended, fucking hell. Either way I've been playing the open beta and fucking love it! It's amazingly well done and really is a total NFS Game :-D [editline]10:00PM[/editline] Also it's fucking unstable.
In my opinion the driving just plain sucked, nothing like it was in most wanted. The only good part is that they merged the two cities together.

You have to pay for power ups. In other words, only 10 year olds will be playing this game.

Something far beyond me seeing how I ran out of juggernaut and nitrous very quickly.
Everytime I join a race, it loads, and then gives me some NETERROR_CONNECT_PEER_TIMEOUT error. Not working no matter what I do, same thing is happening to brother. [editline]09:06PM[/editline] Nevermind, I fixed it. I think this is overall a pretty fun game.

I cant even change my resolution without it crashing to desktop. Uninstalled.
[QUOTE=Ridge;23111476]I cant even change my resolution without it crashing to desktop. Uninstalled.[/QUOTE] Patience. Tis only a beta.
I'm having some questions and would love if anyone knew a answer for them: 1. What's with the power ups? Car magnet is definetely too much imbalanced. 2. Where's customized tuning? 3. 2 types of race? Seriously... I mean, sure it's a open beta, but yet it was going public. I'd expect more from a need for speed game.

[QUOTE=Meloan;23168226]2.Should be in the safehouse[/QUOTE] You call choosing from 3 premade packages customized tuning? Get out. Edit: My bad, 6 packages.
[QUOTE=Meloan;23167348]Patience. Tis only a beta.[/QUOTE] Resolution changing should be the very first thing you have functioning before you release a beta.
[QUOTE=killz2much;23095995]At least Blur is more about having fun and wrecking shit. But for an NFS game? No thank you.[/QUOTE] Those traffic magnets or whatever are a huge bunch of shit. Seriously. Their basically a "Fuck you :trollface:". Is the beta over?
I hate how the NFS series always has the badass car graphics but the environments suck.

I just tried it and i really like it. The powerups dont really bother me and the handling is awesome. Is there a way to get into the NFSU1 city? The full game will be box price PLUS item shop? :-/
[QUOTE=BloodYScar;23200984]The full game will be box price PLUS item shop? :-/[/QUOTE] I heard it was going to be free, but you could buy "optional" features, like Battlefield: Heroes.
You mean "optional" features like maps that everyone will be using except you?
Huh service is unavailable. Beta is over? Also, I heard some guy shouting about hacks and stuff...
i want a carmageddon mmo
wow never knew about this game, ill definitely be trying this out. Willing that my graphics card can handle it.
Already signed up for the beta, and playing it a bit. Lots of fun, and it still feels like a NFS game.
