Any news about this game need to be on a site VR ONLY.
Are you going to tell us what was your first VR experience that confirms your validation that VR is a gimmick?
Why this is so important to you and the people who upvote you?!
I’m writing a academic paper on people’s perception to VR and how their first experience correlates to their overall perception (i.e. renting a VR headset is a overall a more negative experience)
You’re asking the wrong person, too dumb with very biased opinion
Cool, but hey you can ask some idiot like “Devo Stripes” or “Insom Soy” “UGH” you know the VR defenders squad.
I already have enough positive feedback on those who have positive opinions, but I need negative feedback though. Since you yourself tend to react the strongest negatively towards any VR news outside of Giggling Stoner, I figured you can be one of the subjects
Good, good.
Really? Interesting work 🙂 Could even become an article on this site or anywhere else.

With the 360 stuff included at last, it took this crap port more than a decade to be truly and 100% superior to the 360 version
crap port? The x360 version was developed last dude.
It was released 15 days after the PC version, it should have been ported from 360 and not PS2, so it’s a crap port in that sens
like i said the x360 version was developed last.
But had the same release window nonetheless, so technically it was possible to port it, just delay the PC version by 15 days as well, a lot of partner publishers like EA (partnering with MS in 2005) did better and visually more impressive games on 360 and used old engines for PC versions to promote NG consoles and spread the usual propaganda in any early console gen consisting of “The new console are better then high end PCs”
They did the same for FIFA 14 in the early days of the PS4/Xbone
“just delay the PC version by 15 days as well”
Why? Game was ready, was based on ps2 version, the x360 version got upgraded and released later.
15 days, i would’ve waited 15 days to get the superior version, we talk about better overall textures and lighting + better reflections and vinyl/decal resolution, i’ll wait longer for half the features, also how it’s all normal that a new 400$ console outperforms a more expansive PC at max settings ?! It’s unacceptable, even for parity, let alone arbitrary superiority
you acting as if this is the only time this happens, right at the top of my head just cause did that too.
Yes true, and plenty other games, it’s still a bad move and it pisses me off everytime it happens, until a mod comes and restores everything, anyway thank for the guys who made this compilation, i’m already using at least half of the mods used in it but i’ll give it try for the others, this game is timeless
i just wish it had no excessive rubber banding, it had night time and more customization.
Night time is NFS Carbon lol, always thought MW and Carbon complete each other, rubber banding can be disabled via Extra Options mod (included in Redux) As for the customization, i think it’s just fine, it isn’t as extensive as U2 but MW has more car variety
customization is horrible in most wanted.
It was a downgrade compared to NFSU2 but fine nonetheless, also first time you can customize an exotic car or any type other than import Japanese cars unlike all the other games since NFSU, personally i don’t need spinners or neon stuff, i take a solid car roster over deep customization
it was a downgrade compared to carbon as well.
Yeah Carbon had Autosculpt but i barely used it, i love Carbon more than MW, but not for that particular reason, it had a far better port, better handling, and loved the canyon races, too bad it wasn’t as popular as MW, like i said earlier, these 2 games complete each other
lol dude the biggest problem with mw customization is the horrible vynls.
Yes they were awful lol Boss cars especially
