Need For Speed Rivals

[gameranand]

^^ yes, super speedy, the game physics will mess up, also there will be random crashes. One thing i dint like about the game is when u complete a race/pursuit the speed points u earn will totally go to waste even if u score gold and then get busted/wrecked after the the race completes trying to flee from cops, this way the game is progressing but upgrading cars/buying new cars altogether is becoming very hard

it happens often that you complete the pursuit with much effort with a gold with a good car with lot of top speed/acce/control but less durability, then cops bust your balls real bad coz u had already inflicted critical damage while running in that awfully tough race. Then ur SPs go waste. one cant afford to upgrade every car to their full aspects everytime

Its a downside really for anyone. Rewards should be granted if you have completed the event.

^^ How is the SP ONLY experience so far.

 

[sam_738844]

if i compare to the games released by EA under Need for Speed titles over last couple of years and back till the dusk of MOST WANTED the original legendary showstopper, this game has so far has not disappointed me in any aspect except from the SP loss i mentioned above. I literally despised all other NFS games except "The Run"for more than one reasons, Rivals has touched all missing corners whatsoever failed previously, car customization, tech upgrade, visuals, variety of events and exceptionally beautiful and beastly cars...cop chases... they remind of the one of the most beloved racing game of all time.So yes i would give Rivals a 8/10 based on SP, since i will never race online.

^^ +1 , multiplayer is also a strong point for this game . Much better than grid 2 . Although it still is not worth the price . If anyone decide to buy , pay 1k max .

 

[gameranand]

Its good to read that SP part is equally good. I thought that without MP the SP experience would be kinda incomplete so wanted to clarify that.

 

[Zangetsu]

I thought I wud skip this game like other bad NFS Titles...but visuals are asking me to play

One of my friend was saying there is lack of players around the world for this game. is it true? or he might have tried earlier and Now scenario changed.
I am Too inclined towered this game but cant decide what to do after seeing Price.

Indeed , only 6 player max racing simultaneously . it becomes boring and lonely sometime . At current price , game is definitely not worth .

 

[vijju6091]

thats why I am unsure about getting it. Anyway thanks for the info.

Well visuals are no doubt good , but you see so much annoying HUD and notification pop at your screen covering around 30-50% of your monitor display . And there is no option to remove those annoying HUD .

This was not in case with Hot pursuit

Well fortunately they are transparent.

Q E O, go to keyboard config, you can also speed drift the car and take snap at the right moment


@topper, HUD is necessary, i connect the laptop to a 32 inch TV and play, big enough to see the car and the headsup distinctly, never bothered me, guess i'm used to it.

on a economic note: i keep a very precise profile on "the choice of buying a game" i don't always buy "just another" game from Steam or origin, nevertheless i buy them other way , but when i do either way, i make sure that i know it wont be a total waste of money. Not to mention i do not play online ( no game ), so the judgement is always based solely on SP experience. Speaking from that perspective i call the money is wasted on a game which failed very hard on points such as "a story that makes at least one-sense", visuals which are not form india pre independence era, NPC/chars are not incredibly stupid, game has a unique taint of humor/violence/philosophy/chaos/tradition which attracts gamers.

Apart from these a game can "seem" to be waste of money is the SP is too damn small and the bigger picture lies in MP, in my case i skip this feel big-time as i look for SP only, so i could say BF4 was waste..but i did not, and then i'm saying, in rivals the other points are as strong as this one, i would like to see if people here finish all races in SP with all cars unlocked in short time this game ain't for kid-ing...if u know what i mean.

I have an AMD 7770 1GB and I was surprised by the performance I got from this game @ 1080P. That is saying something because Battlefield 4 which is the same engine doesn't do as good with similar settings.

I don't know if its because FPS are more detailed hence more demanding or this game was optimized really well compared to BF4 but I am happy

 

[Zangetsu]

is there any FPS fix patch? heard that it is 30fps only in PC

Isn't the game locked at 30fps, you won't really know the performance unless it isn't capped.

Yeah it is capped, but it isnt dropping below 30fps as well. It was quite stable for the 2 hours that I played initially. Certainly better than the Most Wanted rehash where the FPS would dip during nighttime and certain locations.

I think There is one working patch above few posts
