someone also made this, gonna' rock it for a little bit #cirno
two hours in, i'm having a decent time so far. the drifting is a little weird when compared to other games that do it better, but it's better than most games in the NFS series.
the dialogue and soundtrack are god awful though. i turned both of them off and have just been playing the cyberpunk 2077 soundtrack on shuffle lol.
the wacky effects honestly don't get in the way too much while racing, i barely even notice them tbh. some of the menus are hella cluttered though. simple in actual design, but a lot of noise that doesn't let your eyes focus very well. and, unfortunately, you can't search for user made wraps at all. you can only sort them by most popular/most recent/trending.
Oh I forgot to mention, there are only TWO character voices you can choose from. One is a vaguely Asian dude and the other is an obviously black woman. The former can fit most male characters but the latter doesn't fit unless you have created a black female. This is an area where AI voices would legitimately be super useful. Pay male and female actors to record lines, then let users upload their own voices to match whichever one they prefer. There's a lot of (pointless, shitty) dialogue in the game so they probably didn't want to record literally everything more than twice.
And oh yeah, said black female accompanies you in your car at all times and says all that queer writer shit. "Whoa, did you really just drift right there? That was crazy!" That's why I turned off the dialogue. I don't need some chick yelling in my ear that I'm playing the game well.
