That game kind of dropped off my radar after it released. I was surprised when they announced the sequel at E3.
How's the game? Is there still a community for it?
I still see other drivers out on the roads, but they are few and far between. I am not sure if that is by design so people cannot fuck with you constantly, or just a lack of players. I have played the game solo 99% of my total playtime and while it doesn't make the game any worse, I imagine playing with a group of friends is much better.
The Ultimate Edition was on one of the recent flash sales for $16-17, I'd say it is very much worth it at that price, and considering what you get with that version, I would probably avoid simply getting the base game.
The story is laughable and your typically cheesy racing game story, but overall is a competent game and has fuckloads of check boxes to mark, so if you want a simple/casual game that's pretty fun with a lot of content, get it.
Also the sequel looks like they finally figured out what the word "tone" means. Genuinely excited for it.
Very much so, devs really need to stop with trying to make a "serious" racing story, and just make their best take on the Fast and the Furious franchise or just go the comedic route.
