I would say it's going pretty well so far.
8th day is today! I've actually learned a decent amount and although it is primarily about ordering food and referring to people, that's probably pretty good for someone who wants to travel to Japan. The next course is about asking for directions, for instance.
Is it the best way to learn Japanese objectively? Maybe not. It's working better than anything I've tried in the past though so I think that counts for something.
this game is crazy
definitely want to get the full game at some point but so many games to play

There it is, folks! My final playthrough of the game for Version 1.0!
I'm sure it still isn't perfect, but it is in a state that I would consider worthy of the 1.0 name.
I tried to rush through this one and unfortunately had to cheat a little bit for the final battle due to a bunch of other stuff happening IRL. Otherwise, I would have done some grinding to get through it.
It seems like Normal difficulty does require a little bit of grinding and not just for levels, but for money to buy better gear.
However, I do think this problem is mitigated heavily if you take your time and do the side quests. As you can see, I didn't even do 1/3 of all the side quests. There are plenty of dungeons not tied to side quests as well. Those give you a lot of chests and have a lot of enemies to fight, so that helps prevent grinding.
I definitely found my last playthrough, where I tried to play it like I normally would, much easier in terms of encounter difficulty because of how much I played the game.
So it would seem that rushing through the game is going to be pretty hard unless you're playing on Easy difficulty, which I'm pretty okay with.
I still had a lot of fun and had a lot of things happen that I didn't expect! I hope you're all looking forward to next week when the game releases! If anything else is caught in between now and then it will be updated, but this is the true and official first version of the full game.
Need For Speed Heat Review (7.5/10)
Honestly, there's not too much to say about this one. It's really fun. Personally, I think I had a more fun with Unbound and I would say that is overall the better game, but this one isn't too bad either. I got it for really cheap, like $5, but I wouldn't have ever paid more than $25 for it. If you like arcade racers, you're bound to enjoy it.
Unbound had better gameplay, graphics, and customization in my opinion, but Heat definitely has the better story. The story isn't even anything crazy, but the characters are actually likeable, unlike in Unbound. I had to turn off the voices in Unbound but here, I actually enjoyed what was there and found myself getting lightly invested in the story.
The things that really drag this title down are the cops, which are absurdly intense and pretty much require getting a mod unless you know where all the jumps are, and the weird issue with HDR that results in causing a black screen on some systems. Thankfully there are workarounds for both of these issues, but it's really unfortunate that they exist in the first place.
There was hardly any stuttering. After a driver update there were some shader compilation stutters, but the experience was mostly very smooth which is PARAMOUNT for a racing game.
The soundtrack is ass, just like pretty much every modern NFS game. I would highly recommend just playing your own music in the background during gameplay instead. Sometimes, when the weather in-game was stormy, I would just keep the music off and listen to the sound because it was pretty nice.
Got a good 15 hours out of it, which is just about all I need from a racing game every now and then. Had a good time! There are plenty other races to do and collectibles and cars to collect... I'm far from 100%. I feel like I got what I needed out of it by completing the main story, though.
