Music choices
I think that the game is pretty great and everything except the music has won me over. I'm not understanding why there's only maybe 3 or 4 songs in English while you're out of the garage. I have come...

I bought the game on Saturday. Seriously, this is the first game ever I remember having to turn off the music. Even wife asked after a couple of hours that what's the story with music, that's pretty much intolerable. I set up a spotify playlist in the background (actually installed spotify on my PS4 for this).
I'm an old coot by millenial standards (-82, the first millenial year by most common definition I've stumbled upon.) and my music taste seems to wildly differ from whoever decided what songs go in this game. Old underground tuner games had a lot better soundtracks imho. NFSU 1 & 2 and Carbon had so much metal and rock that I didn't get bothered by the comparatively few rap songs in the mix. MC: LA also had such heavy soundtrack I don't remember having to skip songs except really rarely. Heat on the other hand only has rap and something latin(o?) that just goes "Thump thump thump!". I was completely fed up with the music in less than three hours.
I created a playlist with some older(and not so old) rock/metal; Rob Zombie (Two-Lane Blacktop is a must for the Underground flashbacks =D ), White Zombie, Testament, Disturbed, Soilwork, In Flames, Samael... Couple of outliers that sounded fitting (Twelve Foot Ninja, Gojira, Rise Against, Grorr) and a lot of industrial metal and djent from the last couple of years. Game immediately got thousandfold better.
I really feel this sort of driving game needs a full custom playlist support with system mediaplayer & spotify integration.
- @SpambotAlfa I agree man, i dont understand all the hype around rap and popmusic. I feel metal and rock is so underrated, you never hear that sort of music on the radio. Except from Ramstein and punkrock music like Green Day\Simple plan, buy the way since you like In flames you should check out Dead By April. They are also swedish and ,also a very awsome metalband.
- @BVBgamer88 Come to Finland. We have several radio channels to only play rock/metal. =D
Granted, the mainstream radio channels haven't played much rock or metal since the mid-00's or so...- @SpambotAlfa Haha i dont doubt that, your country actually won Melody Grand Prix .With a hardrock\metal band called, Lordi- Hard rock halleluja. But yeah agree most mainstream radios today are dominated by pop-princess girls, thats why the quality is so bad.
- @BVBgamer88 Rap was popularized by GTA and BB NFS.In early 2000s and late 90s Rap is very mainstream.Hence why even current NFS still add lots of mumble Rap.I dont like Rap even slightly since I prefer Jazz or Rock.If NFS OST continues the tradition of Distinctive(EA Canada) style.Made For Game EDM may still be the major part of NFS OST.
- @GK3512 Yes i have noticed that on my local radio stations too,expecially those youth stations like MP3 NRJ P5 etc. That is the most popular mainstream radios in Norway, they all play rap and pop thats it. I agree i rather listen too good jazz rather then * rap. Etc i love the jazz ost on Gran turismo, those songs are soo good🙂.
