I really love NFS and I like to see more run for NFS.. KEEP GOING DUDE!!! I'm enjoying the run. #ESA

[@ExV1rUS]

Fun fact, I've beaten the game in the Mark 1 golf (White speedhunter's one) it took me about 5 and a half hours tho :p because its pretty difficult

[@hop-skip-ouch8798]

Thanks for the breakfast info

[@ThatBeastEDM]

Any idea of why there is a fucking dragon in the game ?

[@tadferd4340]

"Just a Lamborghini. I'll get another one." Just one of twenty Sesto Elementos world wide. Crash it and it's no big deal.

[@enlightendbel]

Also, he's racing for a 2.5 Million purse. The cars he wrecked combine to many many times that. The Sesto Elementos cost 2.93 Million ...

The Run*

[@rootbeer666]

I quite like the concept of the Cannonball Run and I much prefer A -> B racing over circuits, so I actually quite enjoyed this game. Might be the best NFS experience, actually. Shame it didn't sell well. I'd like more.

[@TheV8Pumpkin]

Same man this was the BEST non open world nfs games and honestly one of the best nfs games in general this makes me want to drive to cali and back to nj lol

[@hathaway.1166]

@@emulatorgaminguk2751 I prefer The Run's graphics especially with unlocked fps support but Hot Pursuit does look great especially the tire smoke and car reflections.

Gotta love an old VW doing 260+ km in a subway AND GETTING OVERTAKEN BY A NITRO JET PROPELLED SUBWAY TRAIN.

[@Nitidus]

Always love Kurus NFS marathon runs, especially because of his commentary. I'm one hour in now and have to say, it feels like because of this rather silent and (seemingly) unmotivated commentator, Kuru's own commentary and explanations are happening less than usual. The last minutes felt like it's definitely getting better, though. Still enjoying the run, of course, and looking forward to the rest :)

[@nielsmeijer6698]

Cornering in this game is like trying to turn an aircraft carrier.

[@HarunaKaiNi]

i play world of warships and i can confirm that steering a Renault Megane feels like steering a Lexington-class Aircraft Carrier to avoid torpedoes

[@gimmick2509]

It's obvious you travel on your four wheels between races. Just as rally drivers do.

[@Xtoxinlolinecronomicon]

Yeah extreme difficulty was seriously extreme. But I did it. Never got platinum on all the challenges however. But seeing this glitch (never bothered to look up glitches or bugs in the game) I might just absolutely destroy my personal record. Nice run, gotta love the almost scripted crashes you can't avoid no matter what. Especially if you're mid-air. Always loved those.

[@alewis514]

This was a decent entry in the NFS series. Had some GTA mingled with it, such as getting shot by angry mafia or stealing a cop car.

[@Bluespaceboat]

Sesto elemento is a track car. It’d crush a a heavy, road car like the GTR in a drag race regardless of drivetrain. That Lamborghini weighs nothing compared to the GTR.

[@TrialMacameau]

Playing on Unlocked Frame rate can cause those issues but if you played on locked FPS these issues are a non-issue.

[@ksad96]

A shame this game went so poorly. I would've like to see more of something like this done a little bit smoother. Less QTEs, added PvP (weekly race events across all maps, simulating an actual race from one end to the other?), clearer OST maybe, and more polish to the game's story and graphics perhaps. Development time might've killed this game as much as anything else, but I did enjoy it back when I played it years and years ago. A great run to watch, lots of fun and impressive execution (when the game wasn't throwing wrenches at him)

[@enlightendbel]

I'd love a game like this with zero scripting in the races themselves, your position is your own, not something prescripted as part of the stage. But hey, it's an NFS game, artificial bullshit is the name of the game.

I enjoyed the game tbh. It's a different game than the classic NFS we see, but I like the story behind it. I'd like to see a sequel

[@rogehmarbi]

For me The Run is the best NFS I've ever played. It has a great sense of speed and this feeling of pushing a machine to its very limits. They captured it well. EDIT : btw, yes I grew up with old NFSMW, NFSU, and Carbon. But if you take off the nostalgia-tinted glasses, The Run does has its own merits (just writing this as last time I told people I liked The Run I got flamed for not liking the "old best" NFS, like come on)

[@arnoldbliss6238]

Yes!

[@koreops8511]

Me it felt mediocre at best, Story is just..a laughable, I laughed so hard on the ending because "Here that's it you beat the game" type of thing, I would expect a flashback or something of *how Jack did piss off the mafia or how he met Sam or such* But nope, all you do is drive and not care the story, Overall, Story is just garbage and threw out the window because of EA. Multiplayer is just two words: Hennessey's and Volkswagen, The end

@@koreops8511 it's amazing you like any of the NFS games tbh if you're gonna dumb it down like that

[@Chronopie]

For the Run to work like that, they must have staggered the start by at least a couple hours. You think the SF cops would have been out in force sooner. Also kinda wonder why a Run would be routed through an avalanche blasting zone.
