When Did You Start Playing NFS?

Back in the 2000's when I owned a PS2, my favorite racing game franchises were Midnight Club and Burnout. Racing games is my favorite genre and I am very picky. I did play other racing games like the FlatOut series and Test Drive(2002), however, I quickly lost interest and decided to stick to MC & Burnout. My older brother who is 29 years old used to play Need For Speed from Underground to Most Wanted(2005). I played NFS Underground 2 just to drive around the city. My brother offered me to play MW('05) and so I did but end up not enjoying it(especially evading the police in free-roam). Years later, my beloved Midnight Club series and Burnout games were all dead & I had to move on to another racing game. I officially started playing Need For Speed in 2009, which was NFS: Shift on the PS3 at age14. I was going to buy NFS: Undercover but I heard the reviews weren't good. I did enjoy playing NFS: Shift and I brought the next following game(not NFS: Nitro), NFS: Hot Pursuit. That was the best NFS game I ever played. I also own a laptop and tried out NFS: World and it wasn't that bad. After NFS: Shift, I brought every single Need For Speed game and so far it's now favorite racing game franchise. I never like playing NFS: No Limits to be honest. I got my PS4 around March of this year and played NFS 2015. I am truly looking forward to play Payback this November since I already pre-ordered the game and it looks very promising. Need For Speed is not the racing game I play. I do play The Crew and I am planning on getting The Crew 2.

I started with the original one too, but it was in the 90'ishes, in the time there was that magazines that came with a CD full of demos of games, and Need for Speed was in one. In the demo you only could drive the dodge viper and there was only 1 race, and even then, it keept me entertained for hours a day, good times XD
Then some years my father bought me NFS 2 SE on my birthday, i still have the box with all the manuals, posters and stuff.

My first NFS game was either Hot Pursuit 2 (2002) or Underground 1. From there, I got every NFS game over the years, skipping The Run, all the way to 2015. I finally got the Run in 2016 / 2017.

I started way back on my old PC. I think it was the first one.
Then skipped quite a few (as my PC can't keep up with the specs) - After I got my PS2, got hooked with NFS Underground, Underground 2 and the MW: Blacklist. After that - stopped again as looking at the reviews of the next instalments of NFS turned me off.
Having said all that - looking forward for this one. NFS Payback! I think as a driving game; personal opinion, it's more of a personal thing. Having single player content / story mode is something that I enjoy.

I started playing need for speed long ago, back then I still had hair, the nfs races were with horse and carts because cars had not been invented.Nor had computers actually.

My mate Nick started with underground 2 years ago and I played it when I went to his place on a friday night, great game really., mw 2012, others I cant remember we also played, we are .Playing The Run at the moment, love the ghost cars coming the other way on the freeway, got to avoid them to win.Actuallly that would be a great side game in payback.

I had a lot of enjoyment down the years with nfs.Payback looks so nice, can't wait to play it.
