Should I buy Need for Speed rivals?





Need for speed rivals is an open world racing game (for those who don’t know) where you and people around the world race as a cop or racer on a big open world map. I bought the game brand new for 69.99$ on PS3 (don’t judge me the PS4 is coming, it’s out of stock everywhere in my area lol) And I know people who have it for PC who experience the same issues. I’m about to go on about.





Should I buy Need for Speed Hot Pursuit?

NFS Hot Pursuit is more like an arcade style racing which is better when it comes to online competition so I don't think everyone will switch to NFS Shift 2. So, it really depends on which type of game you prefer.





The portions of the games key features of online open world playability are OK, when it works which through personal experience is only about 50% of the time, which makes it completely worthless which (because again in my opinion) the online open world multiplayer is the only reason to buy the game. The game is leggy as hell, has a lot of bugs and glitches, constant connectivity issues, there has been countless times it actually dropped me out of the game in the middle of a race to a loading screen while it migrated hosts! I started a hot pursuit once and upon starting it all the opponents dropped off the map... literally disappeared... making me the new record holder among my friends, with a total time of 9.67seconds to take out 4 racers??... Leaderboards are inaccurate, textures drop in and out, on PC its locked at 30 FPS, I have literally seen police and racers pop out of thin air in the middle of races causing for some hilarious and extremely frustrating situations. Nothing quite worse than having 300,000 Speed points being at critical damage, and losing everything and getting caught by the police when you drift around a broad corner and nail a traffic car that literally came out of no were.





Arguably, I shouldn’t be surprised, this is an EA game after all... EA with their stellar reputation among people as being close to if not one of the worst companies on the planet everything they touch turns to excrement. If you’re wondering if you should buy it? I’d recommend saving your money. It’s another half-finished product of EA that they pushed out the development door with a 60$ price tag.
