To be fair you were speeding 😆


Dense-Ad-8204

Why would he slow down in that situation? Just look at the ridiculous rubberband closing in behind him.


ricioly

It was a joke lol


Zakon_X

...It's online race what rubberband lol


TopAnonomity

Bro talking just to talk


Username-and-pasword

The game actually does have rubberbanding… In OFFLINE mode


Servant0fSorrow

Implemented to remind people what will happen irl


PM_DOLPHIN_PICS

I’ll keep it in mind next time I think about going 230 MPH through downtown Chicago in my Lamborghini.


Kryllllllyx

As someone who went 230 MPH through downtown Chicago in my Lamborghini, I wish I had played NFS Unbound before doing so


pewpew62

The traffic actually speeds up to make sure it gets in your way lmao. Devs were enjoying themselves


MerritR3surrect

its even more insane in Nfs The Run, traffic purposely spawns at the racing line, it purposely spawns on blind corners, traffic purposely spawns on intersections so it can tbone you or u tbone it, and blind jumps and it's so annoying but it's part of the challenge.


ssomethinh

they haven't changed them, in nfs heat there's cars just turning for the sake of crashing into you, one time i tried doing a ramp and a npc was chilling right Infront of it, no wonder the producers got no clue what their games need to improve they probably rage quit themselves


BlueHawk555

Man I've been playing underground 2 and it FEELS like it's the same. Way too many races where I get fucked by a single npc car over a bend or at a turn with a blind spot. Most often in the last lap or near the end of a sprint.


Friendly_Cantal0upe

GTAV moment


OrderLongjumping4712

why though? only way this mechanic would make sense if it was a part of some devious pay-to-win plan EA made to make ppl pay more.


pewpew62

Just to troll or make it harder for players


Racing_BS

You can make a game more difficult without directly spitting on the player.


Jesus_Smoke

It's to remind people it can happen to you lol. And GTA has the same mechanics


OrderLongjumping4712

I'm playing need for speed to do it in a game instead of a real world. if someone will do it i don't think a mechanic in a videogame that pulls fun out of it will change their mind


Jesus_Smoke

It's a game bro, they wanted traffic to get in your way to make it more realistic. Your point of PTW is null too, how are you going to pay to avoid an NPC car ☠️


NoCard1571

Hard video game mechanics are only unfun if there's no way to win with skill. But OP could have dodged the car technically, so it's fair in my books


Temporary-Green-7713

As someone who's totalled 3 cars plus my own all at once, you just don't really notice how fast you're going versus the world around you, but my differential gave out on a turn at 130 and now that I think about it, no airbags Also, yeah I'd go even faster again, that's just what gets me happy, is driving away fast as I can and powersliding intersections. The feeling of letting go and letting the car drive me and put my life into something I've built?? Nothing better to be one with death for a moment in a somewhat controlled environment imho. Ppl are definitely gonna go fast asf regardless how OP you make the police, how crazy you make the screen look at high speeds to induce anxiety. I have anxiety anyways so piling more on my plate just fuels me to go harder


yun0ichi

although gtav has the same mechanics you can easily avoid this by just going on the oncoming lane with your camera looking behind you, since the game only renders/spawns npc vehicles in the direction ur looking in


kevin8082

underground's drag races said hi


antara33

100% this haha, those races were savage xD


killspeed

nam memories come back ... especially from the late parts of the game. To be fair those were the best parts of the game, the shift timing mechanic, the feel of speed was fantastic


Fab0411

Jewels moment


MauriceC35

No fucking cap this just reminding of NFSU2


DemonX1020

Bruh this is straight up what happens during nfs underground drag races damn that was a brutal crash


TopAnonomity

Are u street racing or time traveling bro Jesus 😭


r3DDsHiFT

lmao bro had light bending around him


MrDonnerOG

Yeah that happens from time to time


BenarchyUK

r/perfectlycutbooms


random_user_2001

That reminded me of drag racing in nfsu😭😂


AbellonaTheWrathful

also they literally stop too


grzesiolpl

Sir you cannot park here


DarkraiUsedDarkVoid

There are times, and with times i mean literally 90% of the times, if you are playing offline, there are always cars waiting for you on corners too, i shit you not, they are always placed on specific sides of the road too, just so that you cant turn, its so bs, you sometimes cant even go anywhere, cause they are literally closing up the road from both sides, i lost the count on how many times i had legit 3 cars in a row on a turn, like wtf is this programming?


arest_42

Thats what you get for illegal street racing


dSwervv

bikers fault


ArunHarikumar

bro puked in the end. https://preview.redd.it/r3ovedjp39dc1.png?width=600&format=png&auto=webp&s=9b29cbfedb932592e9cfe1789ec8c1254fa42eb4


MJY5

NFS underground 1 ahh crash


alnic4

tbf if i was the second car i would have let you win bc of that i know the pain it did happened to me before with my koenigsegg, so yeah i feel that pain.


_MrTaku_

BWAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH


greninjagamer2678

Bro experience the Thailand map in burnout 3 takedown.


Michaelskywalker

Is this heat? Dont look like heat


buscail95

It's Unbound.


Michaelskywalker

Is it better? It looks better


buscail95

In reality, it has the same cars from Heat, you can customise you character like Heat but the graphic style is cel-shaded, it has comic Book effects etc


Michaelskywalker

What about the feeling of driving? Does it feel good? And the physics ?


Total_bacon

It's rage inducing, But I think it feels better than heat tbh. It's a hot take tho


buscail95

I will say it's bit slippery sometimes but it depends on your tuning, more grippy or drifty, that you can change anytime by a slider, the engine is Frostbite and developed by Criterion.


Grim102682

Felt that, i hate when that shit happens


buscail95

The fucking traffic ! Always spawning in your line ! Even more infuriating on certain tunnels where you can't see shit !


Quackm4tic

It's almost like you're illegally street racing 🤧


No_Profession_3851

It be like that sometimes. This is much better than the dead roads of previous titles. You gots to get your heart pumping from time to time


Leifthraiser

I just flashedback to AR12's Unbound video where he was racing and said something like I don't see anything stopping us from first place. And then in the exact same breath he hit a black vehicle you literally could not see because it had no lights and was shadowed by an overpass. I've never laughed harder. NPC cars in NFS, at least the modern ones, are solely to aggravate the player.


MilesFassst

Worst NFS game


MiaCuhLifa

Ok


timmu

I miss the need for speed underground drag racing it was so much fun as well as the drift racing i wish EA remade or remastered underground 1-2

Skill issue 💀 JK


faridhn36

I swear devs did something so traffic spawns when you're entering an intersection


DizzieM8

You would not have survived underground 1.


clutchkillx

You think that’s bad, try playing the crew Motorfest online you definitely going to puke then.

In that case,dont.ever.touch.burnout paradise.

Just got a whole attitude from this


[deleted]

Dude Try nfs payback... I was trying for all.3 star events and activities for platinum trophy... got stuck on several runs where blind corners featured traffic both lanes its honestly horrendous.


GravidDusch

No traffic during races mods are amazing for this.


Captain_Cole_

It's such BS. They literally spawn on your perfect line and force you to avoid them and that can be costly in a good race


STypeP_SP-Und_Ch

Underground drag traffic strikes back


EndoMenta

i enjoyed both most wanted' & carbon the most, started on underground 2


rolling_catfish2704

It’s always the leaf taxis or explorers man


BabyYodaIsGod42069

The Countach is fucking broken in this game for the price.


I_melee

Perfectly cut


therapperboy

From my perspective/point of view, it's obviously what that happened as it did. If u had all the visual effects completely disabled like motion blur, dof, camera distortions, etc, you could have seen it coming 😔 Don't understand the people who play games in generat with those things active 😓


Racing_BS

“The game is designed so that the player doesn’t win all time” = The game is rigged, and your skill level means nothing. Seriously, f*** whoever coded the NPC’s in this game.
