[QUOTE=legolover122;47019996]Uuuuh this is kind of the usual for mobile games? Especially if they're free, idk why EA is being the big bad evil guy here when half the app store does the same thing.[/QUOTE] Because putting a limit like that on a game entitled "No Limits" is ironic and funny.
[QUOTE=catbarf;47020192] A well-established franchise that isn't well-established on mobile. [B]It's a different game[/B] with a different profitability model on a different platform with a different audience.[/QUOTE] And there is your problem. This is not Need for Speed.
Ha. And this is why mobile gaming is about as fun as cancer.
[QUOTE=archangel125;47019365]EA will never learn.[/QUOTE] actually, EA has already learned and mastered. It's the suckers who seriously buy into this pay 2 play games who have not learned yet.
I am not mad that EA is doing this, but hot damn the mobile market is unbelievably shitty with its business practices. The day this shit starts to seep into normal gaming (Oh wait it has [I]cough[/I] Unity, The Crew, Just Cause 3 [I]cough[/I]) is the day AAA gaming will die for me. These kinds of "pay to continue, pay to win" systems that are so inherent to the freemium model don't support fun in any sense, they just support making you win.
[QUOTE=BananaFoam;47020600](Oh wait it has [I]cough[/I] Unity, The Crew, Just Cause 3 [I]cough[/I])[/QUOTE] No, it hasn't. That JC3 screenshot was from an early build. The finished version doesn't have them.
Been a while since ea did something dickish. Ubis been stealing all their thunder lately
[QUOTE=Hat-Wearing Man;47020632]Been a while since ea did something dickish. Ubis been stealing all their thunder lately[/QUOTE] EA is feeling threatened that someone will steal their crown.
[QUOTE=Zero!;47019414]It's for a phone-game, they live of micro-transactions.[/QUOTE] Just wait and see it show up for the next big racing game on PC/Consoles too.
And here I was thinking EA was getting a little bit better lately
I feel like someone made a joke about this before, and now it's actually happened
I find this idea brilliant (from a micro transaction perspective). They should also charge new tires, oil change, new paint job and everything. Maintaining an expensive virtual car would be like the real thing, imagine how immersive the game would be. You should watch out how much you drift, avoid hitting other cars and stuff. Also speeding tickets $$
It's like Ubisoft and EA are fighting eachother for the biggest twat crown.
More like Need for Speed: One Limit
It's a shitty phone freemium game. Anyone who buys it deserves what they get anyway.
"EA was doing good until they released a mobile game with microtransations, now they're irredeemable shit again" If this was a main console and PC title in the franchise, I'd be just as upset, but it's not. It's just another generic mobile racer with microtransactions in it and the only reason anyone cares is because it's made by EA. At this point, it's the player's fault for buying into this shit, the companies are just letting you because they know you will.
Still waiting for $100 car pack to rival Asphalt.
[QUOTE=Zero!;47019414]It's for a phone-game, they live of micro-transactions.[/QUOTE] They'd get more if it were free and they just ran a small ad on it. But no one's going to play this shit, now
It seems you don't have to be a longtime dormant series to get the Dungeon Keeper treatment.
someone had to see the name and the gas-DLC and get the irony.... i mean [I]someone had to[/I]
i miss when NFS was about driving fast cars that looked absolutely absurd and escaping the cops in a sometimes spectacular fashion
[QUOTE=ProfHappycat7;47024399]i miss when NFS was about driving fast cars that looked absolutely absurd and escaping the cops in a sometimes spectacular fashion[/QUOTE] I miss not being a Burnout clone.
[QUOTE=ProfHappycat7;47024399]i miss when NFS was about driving fast cars that looked absolutely absurd and escaping the cops in a sometimes spectacular fashion[/QUOTE] EA is going to announce the actual next new NFS game this year, you'll probably get your wish. Again, this is a [I]mobile game,[/I] not part of the main series.
[QUOTE=Used Car Salesman;47020343]Ha. And this is why mobile gaming is about as fun as cancer.[/QUOTE] Some do Free-to-play quite well, such as World of Tanks Blitz
Why do people even play these? As in any game that pulls this shit? Ignorance? Skewed view on money? Apathy? Really it's like the demographic that these games truly aim for include people who are easily entertained and really illogical with money.
[QUOTE=NiandraLades;47019466]I hope it's as expensive as real life fuel[/QUOTE] Game pulls GPS data off your phone and adjusts fuel in game to match your local area.
[QUOTE=NO ONE;47024780]Why do people even play these? As in any game that pulls this shit? Ignorance? Skewed view on money? Apathy? Really it's like the demographic that these games truly aim for include people who are easily entertained and really illogical with money.[/QUOTE] I have a hard time looking for full games which are actually in depth. So far i got Knights of the Old Republic and Civilization Revolution 2 and thats about it. Fuck off with your tap-here-wait-2-days games.
Seeing as this is all but required by mobile games and no one is forcing me to play it, I find it amusing. What I am wondering is how will they advertise. Will it be sexxxy "race now, my lord" style ads, ads showcasing HILARIOUS cartoon hijinx that never happen in game or just stock footage of cars racing? THAT is a bigger thing to me since seeing as EA is a big company they actually can afford to run said commercials at every single commercial break.
[QUOTE=Pastor_Necro;47019478]More immersive that way.[/QUOTE] More cinematic
[QUOTE=proch;47027060]More cinematic[/QUOTE] Game confirmed for 30FPS.
