@@trvpmusic2569 yeah maybe, many people liked rivals, but i personally didn't like it much, it was too Lineae, and it didn't at all feel realistic, it was legit more like a "play tag racing game" The original NFS games were kinda like Fast n Furious... But more racing, building rep, and building your cars up. I mean, one of the things i REALLY loved from the games i mentioned, were this: You have 3 or 5 classes of cars You have to buy a class1 car, as you race against class1, class2 cars, you build your car up to compete with class3-4 cars, until you eventually have to buy a higher class as to be able to compete with the TOP class cars, then you build up your New car, you eventually manage to save up to buy a Top class car yourself and build that car up to tops, and all that while having a pretty decent story going on. Those were the good old games that i really love, if they all could recieve Current-Gen Remasters, with improved physics, graphics and Damage, then I'd buy them all double priced. But these new games are cr*p if I'm being honest.
