I don't share the harsh words (at least not all) but @Caelum_NL is somewhat right in my opinion: 😉
Quote:
"... failed programming (OP rubberbanding, overdoing cops amount, stupidly OP AI for Cops... "
The cops and stuff is really annoying!
Could you please, I say please, just add a slider or on/off switch just before the holidays to fix the cops?!
I'm totally annoyed by that.
And don't say "The game was not "designed" to be played like that". Yeah, maybe... but I don't care - If I want to play without or with less cops just let me 🙂
Thanks and nice holidays
And then I haven't even talked about how race events have 0% to do with your skills and everything with if the AI lets you win or not. That is how failed the programming of the rubberbanding/AI is. They put boosts/NOS in the game for coolness factor/gameplay element, but why do that if without any of that the AI lets you gain on them, but when you use NOS/ triple boost, the AI suddenly matches your new speed? Or the AI suddenly drives away from you when you are driving the race of your life and is going so fast they are never to be seen again?
This game is seriously broken on lvls beyond bugs and right into lackluster programming. And we are talking about Devs that have taken on the Criterion name, the same house that produced the summum of arcade racing, like NFS HP 2010 and Burnout Paradise. Then they screw up like this. And it is not as we haven't been telling them. Multiple large posts here. I made a 7 tweets long post on twitter, a nice sounding one. I tried EA help on twitter. Critical reviews show that the AI and police are huge issues. Youtubers and redditers complain about it. I paid 90 euro for a game that is so broken on key recurring gameplay element and there is no place that will give me my money back (played too long on steam, EA help chat refuses to listen what really the problem is, Criterion only talks cool on twitter but does not respond to real problems. I keep on looking for any reaction or update from Criterion/EA that they heard us and will be looking into the problem and nothing. Only these BS "family" talk, doing as if their game is perfect and not a cloud in the clear sky, only focussing in their news outlets on new content. All the while I am sitting here with a 90 euro game that is broken on a programming failure lvl and one that when I play normally, making me want to throw my keyboard trough my TV and my PC through the window.
And then these Criterion dudes come smiling here, frankly telling "we have delivered this broken game to you and now we be on a deserved holiday, leaving you with this halfworking product that we sold you without telling you it only works half like you expected, not telling you if we will be ever going to get back to it and finish our work properly." Happy holidays....
So yes, I sit with a 90 euro technical blunder that I can't start up unless I want to go shopping new hardware, while Steam says "Can't help you, go to the dev/publisher for your issues", EA either keeps silent or plays dumb if you ever get through their maze they call their support sit. And then there is the developer themselves that only knows how fling ignorant posts on social media, furtherwhile ignoring any feedback, not giving any sign of knowledge of major issues in their product only to say "Screw you guys, we are off for the holidays, have fun frustrating over our half finished product, we will be back with additional cinent you can buy for it".
So yes, I am quite frustrated and angry about 90 euro I thrown away while trusting in the name Criterion, that seemingly is worth s**t these days.
- 3 years ago@Caelum_NL Current Criterion is just Ghost under another name.Criterion fell apart back in 2013 when Alex Ward left to found Three Fields.This team isn't the same that brought us Paradise or HP2010 back in the day.So it's unsurprising Unbound is still rubbish like Ghost's previous entries.

Nearly everyone talk about that this nfs is the best nfs game since years.
In some points i agree but that just the little underground atmosphere and the tuning. The whole other side of this game like handling, car physics and those kiddish comic effects are by far the crappiest things.
I got gifted with the ea play pro membership. Thanks to a friend. Now i know that this is more crap as i thought before with my ea play membership. The car handling is really far away from good. This is NOT even mediocre. This is just *. Fast cars are not controllable. A little bump in the road and you fly to the "moon". <- This is just one thing which makes this game and company not worth any dollar/euro.
Instead of trying to push the nfs series with each game into another direction which will just crap and waste each time more money i dont know why they dont make a good and worth underground 2 successor. Do they dont need the money or are they just to stupid to do that?No wonder that i will only send my money to serious developers and indie devs who learned to talk with their community. Such big companies like ea will never see anymore any cent from me because... Its not worth to support they. Indie developers are more worth!
