I would say it is closer to The Run and not the Crew...either way it is good there is daylight for a start. I really hope they overhauled the whole game and bring much more wider streets in this one. The last NFS made me curse a dozen at every tight alley.
They should work more on banning players that ruin the game to others. Yesterday i just logged in and tried to take part in the highest jump before parachute challenge and as i reached the highest point another player just missiled me so he could take the full score..there should be a way to prevent killing during global events ...it is very irritating.
I had the anniversary update installed once which nuked my bf4 immediately, it just won't start! so I had to revert back. Probably this "gaming" mode would mess up things since anniversary did.
@pip3dream@h2k47Yes, I agree , compared to S1, it is not as 'Strong' as the first episode was nor as long ( it did feel very short honestly). However, if you would take this ''short' and apparently 'weaker' episode of S2, still it would make a good product unworthy of a mediocre score.
Also, You cannot compare S1 and S2 in this fashion because in S1, especially E1, the whole surprising 'zombie-world'' was initiated and immediately a dramatic concept is introduced in the meeting of Lee and Clem and everything felt new, even for the characters themselves in the game.
While in S2, it is not the same case. Characters already know what's happening and so do players which I believe made E1 seem weaker. The devs now have to double their effort to keep players interested in S2 and I think they are on the right track.
I have just finished playing the first episode of Season 2 and now I am so eager to play the rest of the them when they come out. The same tension and unpredictability is carried on in this season and the mere enjoyment of being the director and hero unfolding this dramatic and excellent survival story keeps you in burning anticipation for the rest of the episodes.
I believe 6 is extremely unfair because the whole story has not been told yet (sadly, the reviewer apparently based their conclusion on only the first fifth) and also because it is obvious that the same hard work put in voice-acting, dialogue, characters, tension ..etc witnessed in S1 is still carried on into S2 which makes it illogical to give a mediocre ( half-optimized-games) score!
This is no longer NFS :(. I wanted to hear the reviewer saying they added something "NEW" to the game such as customization or even an interesting story like NFS MW 1 had. It is the exact same replica of the previous ones with difference in MP (some actually do not care about that ). I do want to understand though how this one earned a full 8 and Batman AO only a 6??
I have been playing Origins for a few days nowand I keep coming back even though I played City and Asylum before. It is true they may not have added a lot to the game in terms of combat mechanics or weaponry but still the story and the general feel of the game always keep you interested.
The score given here is unfair IMO as a '6' rating is for a boring and broken game with glitches that would make you feel the devs were careless when making it which is never the case with origins. It is solid, interesting, fun, and enjoyable albeit with the only big shortcoming of not 'leaping' into another upgrade to the franchise similar to the Asylum-City case.
@neuroboy Your are absolutely right when you said that such open-world games get too repetitive . I loved a game like Assassin's Creed at first sight but after a while, and despite the interesting storyline, you find yourself doing the same missions over and over like they are ,and I quote, ''WORK''. A great game does not mean that you fill it up with lots of repetitive pointless objectives to extend playing hours but it must concentrate on doing few objectives differently every time. Sadly, I find UBISoft always fall short in this aspect with what they did in AC and FC2.
@Onda2 exactly...and you think this will be indeed a remake of Most Wanted...I hope at least they fix the horrifying handbrake system they had in Hot Pursuit 2010...
