@BAReFOOt: I didn’t think we was that bad.

Wait. “She”? “Her”? Oh, wow. I have got to find some youtube footage of the German version.

F2PP2W – free to play, pay to win – footoopootooo, but it can probably be reduced to FooPoo.

I have started to dislike this approach as well, just about when it’s starting to catch on too. My timing is flawless as usual. I’d rather they just sell the game to me. Throw it up on Steam, put a price on it, job’s done. Running it like an MMO is like meeting beggars on the streets. There’s one on every fucking corner, all holding their caps out. “Please govnor! Just a few quid, so me and the wife can eat! I’ll give you some extra XP, I will, and a new paintjob for yer car! Cough, cough. Oooh, me health isn’t what it used to be…”

Heard a lot of complaints about this game. Level R seems more interesting and for the people that complain about the cash shop, if you register Level R via gamecoach TV you get a free premium package worth about 10€, contains nitro, racing line and extra brake/acceleration performance. Registered there and playing with these benefits right now. Fun to play with friends and heard it has a lot more to offer than this game.

It’s amazing but they released something even more vacuous than APB.

Looks like EA did it again. You can rely on them to be greedy like that.

Koozer, WoT has a completely different set of problems, as in the gameplay is rubbish, and as soon as you have the first set of tanks its just a big boring grinder, in which if unfortunate have to play the same levels over and over again.

As one of the three people who actually played Need For Speed Online, this game sounds like a step down in almost every way.

NFS:O didn’t have a free city mode…you picked your track, joined a lobby and raced other people. It also didn’t have a pursuit mode.
However:
- It was classic/muscle cars, which to me was more fun than current econo boxes
- You could customize your paint, get one off awesome paint jobs in special events, etc.
- You had insane level of control of your actual car…shocks, tires, cylinder heads, camshafts, ignition systems….pretty on bar with your Forza/GTA sim games when it comes to customizability
- The racing was pretty reliable and not horrifically laggy.

It was still grindy and you ended up racing on maybe 10 tracks over and over again, but it seems pretty silly that damned near 10 years later they seem to have taken a step backwards.

Shame. I was hoping this would just be Need For Speed with microtransactions (which I’m happy to ignore for a while). I guess I’ll wait until a decent patch adds normally accepted features to the game

@terry: Seconded. In the German translation, she was even worse. And there was NO option to stop her. When I play it again, I consider replacing all audio files with her with zero-length ones.
