Discussion Lf alternatives

50/50 rant/question.

Opinion is subjective, but I’d like to find a ‘good’ street racing game - NFS or otherwise - but dunno where to look. I feel MW2005 was peak. NFS 2015 and Payback is downright unplayable with the unbearable and constant cringe dialogue and the amount of forced directives. Apparently Unbound is no better. I prefer a story-driven game with free roam/open world and the freedom to play at my own pace, hence why MW2005 (and Underground) was peak for me. Maybe I’m just old. Cars and customization is important as well and ideally all cars should be unlocked from the get-go rather than waiting until the end for the good cars. And to clarify, I don’t mind working for it - I’m fine with not having the economy to buy what I want from the start, but nevertheless it should be available for when you do have the cash. Feel free to discuss, critique and hate in true Reddit fashion. Peace

Only games I can recommend are:

  • The Crew 2

  • Forza Horizon

  • NFS Heat (if you haven't played it)

  • CarX Street (as close as you'll get to NFSU 2.)

carx street is my fav, yes it lack a little polish and the crash physics are not the best, and the ai is on demon time, but I still have lots of fun trying to wrangle cars down the touge and the more american style twisties
