I'm done with the NFS liscence.
So, I'm basically just here to vent, and if you want to do so as well, you're free to speak.
I've been a fan of the NFS series since I was a kid. Most Wanted was my first video game ever. It was this game that made me discover my greatest passion and my favorite hobby: cars and gaming.
Through the years, I've played all the games in the nfs liscence from Underground to Unbound. I grew up with those games. I saw the liscence evolve, change and being influenced by what was popular when those games were released. Some of those games were good, some others were not. But I always had fun playing them back when I was still a child.
But I'm an adult now. And with some hindsight, I can now see that this liscence has been slowly decaying over the years, with the final results being Unbound.
To be perfectly honest, I sold the game only 2 weeks after buying it. Bought it on Blu-ray day one for 80€. And I'm glad I did so because I could at least resell it for 20€.
I am now witnessing how EA and Criterion are handling this game. How they are changing and "improving" it with their updates. I'm not surprised with the way it turned out.
They just don't know how to make a good game anymore.
So yeah, it was fun while it lasted, but it isn't fun anymore. And, you know, the point of a video game is to have fun. So I made my choice. I'm saying goodbye to the NFS series, definitely. I'm not buying any new games in the series ever again. I'm done spending money on trash.
Of course, you don't have to share my opinions on the matter. If you're enjoying the games and the direction the liscence is taking, good for you. But I don't enjoy buying half assed games made by developers ignoring and even lying to their fan base repeatedly.
