The issue with today's Need for speed community
Disclaimer: I will be making lots of generalizations, reader discretion is advised
You can’t go to any website and find a Need for speed comment section that shows reason anymore. It’s all the same damn complaints every god damn time. I’m here to let my feelings loose on this topic so here are the major reasons I’m losing faith in the need for speed community.
The Blackpanthaa sheep
This is one of my bigger gripes (we’ll get to the biggest one later) about seeing people play the newer titles. They randomly hate on MW 2012 or rivals, when both are extremely well rounded games. They aren’t “the worst of all time” but I don’t believe they are the best need for speed game either. Let me get this out of the way, Theo is entitled to his own opinion about the game. He bases his favorite games off of certain criteria, like customization and progression. But some people hate the game because their favorite YouTuber hate it. There’s a high chance that they never played the game either. Also if you liked it before, don’t let someone change your mind cause they haven’t a differing opinion on it. Most wanted isn’t a terrible game, it’s pretty fun. That’s what makes a game good in my opinion, is it fun to play? Or are you forcing yourself to play it. You shouldn’t bash a game cause everyone else is. That leads me to another point
Those few with extremely high expectations
Need for speed 2015 showed us all that some of us have our expectation bar set through the roof. It checked a lot of boxs. Customization, check. Progression, check. Tuning, check. Now the only reason I haven’t said anything about the handling model is cause I haven’t played the game. Before you say “alright hypocrite, you just said don’t judge something you haven’t played” and I’m not judging it. I don’t know if I would have liked or disliked it because I’m just judging off of videos. That’s why I’m not saying it’s good or it’s bad. I’m saying to those who expect the extreme grippy simulation realistic handling model from need for speed. Then everyone else thinks it’s a good idea to hate on it cause everyone else has. It’s gonna be a little slippery because it always has been. It for the casual players who want less of a learning curve to play the game. Not catering to the sim racing community. Then again your preferences are subjective and I’m not one to judge, my point is don’t expect highly of something that hasn’t delivered in the past.
The nostalgia racers (especially the underground 3 beggars)
This is my biggest gripe. Why the hell would you still want a old game when there are multiple ways to play it today, but you don’t choose to. You can install it on PC with a graphic mod or you can play your PS2 again. Also don’t try to cram underground 3 down our throats when need for speed 2015 was almost exactly the same thing. Let’s play a game, compare and contrast how many things that are in need for speed 2015 and underground 2
Things that are the same
- night time
- in a city
- customization
- JDM cars
- upgrades
- currency
- a story
Differences
Need for speed 2015
Licensed body kits
Online mode
Underground 2
Rice kits
I had to nitpick to find the differences that’s a problem if you claim their so different. What do you want from underground 3 that Need for speed 2015 didn’t do? I bet you you wouldn’t be complaining if Need for speed 2015 was named need for speed underground 3 same game just different name. You would complain would you? Also final argument why don’t you like the customization options
Would you rather want your car to look tasteful and well crafted
Or whatever the hell this is
Seriously I’m losing faith in the need for speed community, payback actually looks pretty good. It’s a breath of fresh air. It still has customization, it has an upgrade system, and it has intelligent AI if you believe it’s gonna be “that” bad just don’t buy. You don’t have a impose that “this game sucks” to everyone else
