Is this 20 dollars on PS Store this week? if so should I bite?

Says it's 67% off, only on the US Store. $23 for the Deluxe Edition.

If you don't have a solid internet connection you shouldn't buy it, with it being online only.

I do but can I play alone if I want too? and can I play with a friend? (private lobby?)

You can play alone, but you still need internet connection.

I think you can have private lobbies with friends but I'm not sure

Thanks buddy, still can't make up my mind even at 20$ . Such a shame it's always online, it's between this or getting Battlefront for 30$. Will sleep on it.

I would highly recommend it at that price, I forgot what I paid, Certainly more than that but even after the "story" if that's what you can call it I still find myself going back and wasting hours making wraps, Doing the daily objectives (a la GTA) currently my playtime is 89H 4M so I've had my moneys worth.

Yeah it needs a constant internet connection, Yeah the handling is pants, But its still a fun game and for once EA aren't milking the cashcow unlike ahem Pcars

That is my biggest worry.

It's lesser than what the price for this game should have been. I mean people say this is a 25-30 dollar game but 20 or 23 dollars for sale in PS Store? You should get it ASAP. Like what @ghostrider135 said, even if you complete the story mode, 23 dollars is still worth it. You still have the Eddie Challenges plus I think you may have come at the right time also with the Showcase Update emminent, there will be cars that will have new parts to customize. So you better buy that game while the price is at 23 dollars.

Besides Battlefront on the other hand, it only has online matches. No story mode or even chapters like Battlefield.

 

[ghostrider135]

That is my biggest worry.

Don't let it worry you, I've played worse, At the end of the day its not marketed as a sim, As far as I'm aware, And EA have been listening to the community from what I've seen so there is that. Plus the free game updates each month so far, Just seeing the show us your rides thread here and the needforspeed reddit should persuade you that its well worth the price

 

[Stephan]

And if you're asking who's been the voice of the NFS community. Well you have Ben Walke who's doing a good job on catering to the feedback of NFS players.

Rivals may have been a glitched mess, but NFS2015 is going on a right direction if you're asking. Yes this may not be around the ranks of UG2 and Most Wanted for being the best NFS game but hey, at least EA Ghost has been listening to the community.

 

[VXR]

If you turn down the steering rack speed and tune for grip, then I find it's not that bad. Better than a lot of arcade leaning racers.

And? Some of the things he 'hated' as stated in that video will have been patched by now.

 

[Normalaatsra]

Replying to the rant video: Reason #7 has the flaw where it was mentioned how special cars cannot be customised, well that's because it is a character car that is modified in its unique design. But all points are true to the complaints the game has been receiving, however I just feel like this was an personal opinion of the game and not a formal analysis of the product, so mileage might vary. The haters are being fed in that comment section though haha.

 

[ghostrider135]

Lets see I'll throw my hat in about that video response.

Always dark and rainy, Yep, But then this is a game about street racing/car culture, Street racing happens at night you only need to look at the Fast and Furious films to notice this, Granted I don't like the rain/wet tarmac aspect but it could be worse, Nobody complained about Underground or underground 2 which were both continually night time and both fantastic games back in the day.

No manual transmission, SO WHAT WHO CARES, Its not a simulator, Next.

Cops too easy, Well that depends, Yes they have to be easy for part of the story aspect but that said much like GTA they get progressively more feisty based on a wanted level, Also of note only 200bhp or less + cops = not as easy as you think.

Not being able to fully customise some cars, Ok I can understand the frustration but lets look at this from a realistic point of view, In this world would Ferrari really allow their cars even virtually to be made completely hideous beyond all reason, You only need to read about Ferrari's reaction to Deadmaus (I think), Point made.

Garage space, Yep its not ideal only being able to have 5 cars maximum at any one time but its all part of the story and things its not a player owned garage, Also Ben the community guy from Ghost Games has been talking the community about the lack of garage space, Now why would he do that if there weren't any plans to expand upon it ?

And now I'm bored of that video, Lets just say the guy who made it LV32 I think he was when the video was made, I alone am over double that so I have more experience with the games mechanics/foibles etc and can comment based on the extra amount of experience I've had with it.

I'll just say this, Yes its not a sim but I've had more fun and wasted more time playing Need For Speed than I did in GT5+6 combined.

Well that settles it, will probably get it tomorrow now. Thanks guys.

New guy to this forum, I have been lurking for a while. I made an account just to reply to everyone hating. This game has captivated me far longer than Forza 6. Yes there could be tweaks but that goes for any game made on the market today. Personally I think they did a really good job and the fact that they are tweaking it shows they are trying. Anyone from the Forza community can tell you Turn10 shells out their game and then turns thier back on it. They don't care unless there are glitches to cheat. It's the same with a lot of games. Racing rivals is absolutely horrible about it.

I don't get why forums these days are all about complaining. Honestly if you don't like the game quit playing and find something else to take up your time. Why go to a public forum and show the world how whiny you are? Every forum, for every game, has turned into the same bashing.

Please don't do that to this place as well, so far its been pretty good about being positive and helpful.

Sorry for the rant.

PS
I'll post pics if my rides as soon as I figure out how to do it.

 

[deadbob777]

Is there a certain time when the updates usually go live for this?

 

[Stephan]

Ah yes that video.

Actually, it's just another NFS2015 rant video similar to the one I posted before and that was FailRace.

Besides after seeing more NFS2015 rants, those ranters are now blaming BlackPanthaa for letting this happen. I mean they think EA Ghost just paid Theo just to promote NFS2015 but no. If you watched his older videos during his LeftTriggerUK alias, you will see how Theo wanted NFS to change ever since Most Wanted 2012. He was able to get Ghost's attention including the CraigItUp movement.

Overall for that video, like I said, another useless rant video in which the uploader is just trying to cash in on views by making a NFS rant video.

I would highly recommend it at that price, I forgot what I paid, Certainly more than that but even after the "story" if that's what you can call it I still find myself going back and wasting hours making wraps, Doing the daily objectives (a la GTA) currently my playtime is 89H 4M so I've had my moneys worth.

Yeah. At least EA is not pushing Ghost now not to release NFS annually instead either 2 years or 1 year and a half unlike Forza which for me they are now milking the franchise by releasing it annually.

Actually, I'm starting to question you why you keep coming back to this thread just to persuade us to not play the game. And you're starting to become just like a particular member who ranted the game even when the game hasn't launched yet during E3 period.

 

[lxmmy]

KSI and his FIFA rants (Yes I've mentioned KSI but for me I think he was able to get EA's attention by ranting about how the unbalanced player prices, ratings, bugs, etc.)

KSI never got EA's attention. He pointlessly exaggerated the rants so he can get views on his videos. Only video which was made around FIFA 10 days in which I deemed as something properly aimed at EA was that McGeady having only 4* skills when he should have 5*.

I don't think the person is trying to cash in on views especially when you have mentioned KSI but the person has good points which can represent the mass but now some of his points have been amended.

Meh it's just my point of view though. I thought at first when I played FIFA 16, there were some changes to the ones he mentioned in his rant videos.

True, that was the word I was looking for, his points about the game has been amended/patched/etc.

Ok enough talk about Youtubers. Let's get back to the topic.

 

[DJTHEKING]

Just saw on Xbox it's 26$, i'll try to get it before the sales end.

Yeah, I didn't realize that supporting it for up to a year with DLC, and releasing patches and fixes every month means that it's abandoned. If that's what abandoned means, I hope NFS2015 gets abandoned too.

I don't get why forums these days are all about complaining. Honestly if you don't like the game quit playing and find something else to take up your time. Why go to a public forum and show the world how whiny you are? Every forum, for every game, has turned into the same bashing

Yet you came here to do exactly that, complain.

 

[SlipZtrEm]

Hm. On one hand, there's a game with 1/10th the car lineup of the other, that took me barely more than a weekend to get all of the XBL achievements for, that's just getting a proper Photomode three months after release. The previous updates have included a handful of cars (some of which were already in-game, but not available to players, while others are modded versions of cars already in there), and some more customization parts, seemingly included to bring balance to the very lopsided original release approach to the car lineup.

On the other, there's been monthly car packs of completely new cars, a few free ones tossed in, and an upcoming Porsche pack of twenty cars. I've been trying to get every car timed around just one of the tracks in the game, and I haven't completed it yet. I've yet to get 1000GS, despite having the game for two months longer, and playing it more often.

I mean, technically, it's correct that Ghost Games really are adding what the community is asking for. Of course, that's because the game shipped pretty bare-bones, so they're just asking for it to be filled out.

I feel theyre really just half assing everything. The ideas are there, but the executions are HORRIBLE. Take for instance the "added" customization, tape on headlights or just blatantly copy pasting body parts from other cars onto others like shown below, i really want to like this game but just so many things still wrong with no actual effort put forth.

I don't mind the idea of pasting on parts from other cars, though, as at least it offers another choice and about as close to a face transplant as licensing would allow.

 

[FT-1]

The size of the update is a rather chunky 1.43GB on Xbox

Well you know what that means. More content especially with the 11 cars that have new parts plus with the photomode.

 

[RipperSport]

If you have a 900hp car ofcourse you will outrun the police in 2 sec. I like the more realistic cops in this game with crown vics and no stupid weapons. Yeah, they could be more agressive and smarter, at least in higer heat levels.

About 5 minutes on my connection. It still amazes me and I've had it for 18 months.

I hope photomode gives me the same sort of connection to the game as its inclusion in The Crew did.
