You can forget about insane random cop chases that could last for several minutes. Just to realize game after its release that it does NOT have cops in free roam at all. Their Twitter rep said almost exactly the same words to my inquiry if cops are any good like month or two ago. When I complained last year for Need for Speed 2016 having absolutely useless cops in free roam, EA representatives assured me that “next NFS game will have badass cops again that will want to take you down!”. I see where this is leading and it’s the future I DON’T want. I can’t believe people are so obsessed over it and all game devs are just rushing to include it. But paying real money for some randomized garbage with zero actual content value is just dumb. You’re next EA if you continue with this shit (and it doesn’t look like they have any plans to stop it). I might stop buying EA games entirely because of it. I never asked for this micro-transactions shit. You can also buy these tokens for real money and then go through the randomizer to use tokens bought with real money to give you some random Speed Cards if you feel like you’re dumb fuck who literally spends real money for some pointless randomly generated goods. You can “trade in” unused cards to get tokens which you can then spend on randomizer bullshit which gives you some random card for 3 tokens. They don’t call them this way, but thats essentially what it is. And all of this is just a cover for even more retarded “loot crates”. And if you use 3 of the same “brand”, it gives you extra bonus.

Or you buy a Turbo card and it somehow boosts your Jump statistics. For example, you buy an ECU and it somehow also boosts Brakes if it’s that kind of a card. Instead, these stupid Speed Cards have dual statistics. And they’d be somewhat bearable if they made any kind of sense. But nope, now you have some dumb ass “Speed Cards”. NFS 2016 was pretty good in this regard and I spend hours and hours upgrading and fiddling with cars. The game doesn’t work anymore in the way that you buy a car, go to parts store or garage and simply buy parts and upgrade it to boost acceleration, top speed, nitrous capacity, brakes and aerodynamics. Because 2017 ya’ll! Speed Cards & Micro-transactions And here’s the top dumb shit they included in it (or removed good shit from it). So, NFS:Payback was released recently and I wanted to satisfy my Need for Speed. But since then, there weren’t many fun arcade racing games (hint literally just Need for Speed left), the rest are simulations and realistic wannabes like Forza. It just arrived in to the gaming scene and took my heart. No drama or massive PR campaigns around it. For example Disney’s (Black Rock Studios) Split/Second: Velocity was one of such games. I love arcade racings games that are just pure distilled fun.
