YES SIR! Started playing when Vol. 6 came out and i'm loving the game ever since. So happy to see that we get ATLEAST 3 more Volumes aka updates over 2024! It's so much fun.
Hey mate! Your analysis of this game is brilliant and you've put so much effort into it! I agree with everything that you said in this video. One thing I find kinda odd though is when you went on about the microtransactions in Unbound, when you said "locked away gameplay events behind a paywall" or something like that, I don't think they did this nor have they ever done it in an NFS game. Are you able to point out what gameplay events they locked behind a paywall with the numerous amount of bodykit DLCs and the Speed Pass paid DLC that Unbound has? I found that point to be kinda odd and biased, at least for me. P.S. I love your content! Keep up the great work! ❤
From what I was able to find at the time of my research was that the palace update for example has exclusive drift events within alongside various custom cars and visual options only accessible through the upgrade. My understanding of the Vol 6 Premium pass was also that there were exclusive Aldi events within the pass. However since playing more post-upload they have sprinkled these into the standard multiplayer which is a positive. I really appreciate the comment and the positive feedback by the way! It all goes a long way to making me and my content better 😁
@@franknsteain I bought the Palace Edition DLC and no, there were no "exclusive" drift events that came with it. They're all the same. I'm on PS5 so it allows me to view what the Palace Edition DLC comes with and exclusive drift events weren't one of them that were mentioned. And for the Audi Speed Pass DLC event, those come back to the dedicated PVP playlist matchmaking once in a time for free as a showcase event where you'll be able to try out all Audi models with other players and see how they feel. No money spent. So you're wrong about those points about the microtransactions. But I do see what you mean about the microtransactions overall. They're not as bad as Payback's microtransactions but yeah they're not good. And P.S., you're welcome! 👍🏻
Payback did it with their speedcross event DLC, and also Payback was considered the worst microtransaction in NFS history with their slot machine like RNG to get the engine upgrades and the worst card system and lootboxes.
@@tompramanaaccount8892 I'm so glad they moved on from the card system with the cusomisation system of Heat. I do miss car-specific events like off road for example, they were a nice inclusion in my opinion and gave specific tyre and suspension options a bit more importance. But the cards are thankfully now; and hopefully later, a thing of the past.
Story and character wise. Eh not really it still pretty try hard to appeal to youth failing to understand that they should just focus on toning down that stuff. And i hate the female character for her story of hey guess what i stole your car became a villain till near end where i gave up on it suddenly and went on my unearned redemption arc. This was the second time they made female character that is friend to the play be most annoying as hell and forced drama and redemption arc in series it's like they cant let them be natural characters. I would say gameplay is very good sucks they still rely on brake to drift again but it's not as bad as last couple entries. It's sleeper hit for sure but dont get it for story just for gameplay.
I agree for sure, they definitely need to go about toning down the dialogue and go for a more natural form of comverstion to make them more believeable. And doing away with weak redemption arcs will be a much welcomed change. Hopefully they hear these kind of criticisms and actually make a change in these departments. If we can get solid gameay and story, we could be in for something special next time around.
YES SIR!

I'm glad you are enjoying it! 😄
“Criticisms of micro transactions” wtf ? This game only has body kits/livery for players to buy
🤔
Watch the fucking video. He literally shows them at 48:07

@@WSPonPlayStationandXbox good to know, I'll be sure to do a bit more digging next time around.
Thanks again!
