    I don't know, talk about need for speed I guess? Anyways, did you know that EA abandoned all of it's NFS games from 1994 to 2011 (except for Hot Pursuit 2010 because of obvious reasons). This means that you can actually get those games for free without it being illegal. This kind Reddit user has got nearly all of those games available to us. And I've got The Run, Carbon, ProStreet and Shift 2 Unleashed. I actually used to play shift 2 on my PS3 so it will be quite fun to replicate that one time I broke my controller by throwing it to my left when I was angry that I couldn't drive a Lamborghini Gallardo in Brands Hatch at night.

    pretty sure it's a gray area, but whatever

    need for speed underground 2 is probably the best nfs in my opinion
    i am far from having played all of them tho
    and yes, most wanted, albeit with the pepega mod, I just shut off after a few races.
    Idk, probably just wasn't in the mood for it.

    Agreed.
    I absolutely love NFSUG2 because of its visual modification options
    Kind of ricey if we see it with today's car tuning aesthetics but whatver.That was how people in 2000s pimp their ride.You can even fill your car's boot with a bunch of stereos and LCD screens while nobody will say"You are a ricer"because everybody were doing this.

    people despise payback, mostly for it's upgrade system.
    and they are correct. This is genuinely one of the worst things that Need for Speed ever had.

    But aside that and the damn lootboxes?

    Pretty solid game, I liked it. Wish I had the PC version.

    Payback has the best handling feel among all NFS games made by Ghost

    Nice! I was going to buy a copy for the PS2, but the box had a massive chip in it. How's the game going so far?

    So , the type of start is the same as in Payback . There's a step where you gotta buy a New car with the money you have , between a Lexus, a Fiat Punto and a Chevrolet . That's how far i got , considering it was to wait for Steam to download 0.29

    You know how less throttle makes the gears shift earlier in an automatic like in real life and BeamNG. Most Wanted 2012 did that. The funny thing is that when I owned this game from 2015 or 16 to July 2018 I didn't know it could do that. I saw a random comment that mentioned it. Not even sim-cade games did that let alone arcade ones. But then again this bias is due to MW2012 being my first ever NFS game.

    Unpopular opinion but I think NFSMW 2012 was actually pretty good, grew up with that game

    You're right, the game itself is an enjoyable experience, especially the soundtrack. I might even say that it's the best from the 2010's Need For Speeds, sitting next to a 2010 Hot Pursuit. The main issue with it is the name, because the only Most Wanted thing there is in comparison with the original is the Blacklist.

    The introductory cut-scenes for the Blacklist cars in MW2012 was something else though, especially also the Ambush ones, acid induced nightmares.

    The second video is so weird, I’m kind of glad I never played the game.
