@EA_AtaashiReally.....An article especially on story.I really miss when racing games are just games about racing not story and development of characters.Please EA regain sense,this series is called Need For Speed not Need For Story.TV series and movies already fill the need for story nowadays.Please be sensible and bring back real root of a pure race/chase NFS next time.
Well, if there is no story, i get bored, racing, killing (depending on the type of game obviously) if there is no story behind it....i get bored fast.
PvP....boring, PvE without a story will keep me occupied for maybe 2 hours.....which is normally enough time to find the car i like and to experience every single race.
Stories, especially those that are done well can last me months, maybe years if there were branching stories in the game, which this doesn't have, unless i am mistaken.
Yeah I think most single player games work best when they have a story. If you're just playing multiplayer then yes you can forget about a story as your mainly doing stuff with friends but in SP modes story is essential. Even sports games have stories the only difference is in games like Fifa it's a story you create as it's all about your player/ manager and what you achieve in your career. I have bought Heat for myself as a Christmas present but yeah I must admit I'm looking forward to exploring this story for myself when I get round to playing it.
So what? Keeps the game interesting. Many nfs games had some type of story that didn't affect gameplay. Burnout is still good and has no story but it has its own perspective. The game is still keeping the qualities that it should. And dont compare this game to old titles. That was black box. We have Ghost games with frostbite engine. So it's best to have an open mind and not complain over something stupid such as you not caring of story.
