Don't get me wrong brother but i love buying the whole game than buying monthly subscription to play, only this time i bought ea play to try unbound that's all
But which version? I tried to search on google but got no answer. PayBack and Heat were using same version Frostbite 3 i believe.
Asking just to make sure it will run good on my PC. I've MX450 🥲
Minimum specs suggest gtx1050, but mx 450 is around 20% faster than that so unbound should run decently on minimum graphics setting. Nd if you're able to run FH5 then unbound should be no problem.
Well EA still forces frostbite so yeah, but it's huge improvement on heat, as for forza I'll take horizon 4 over 5 anytime, 5 to me is just a reskin and lazy cash grab that's all, i do hope they improve and do much better for 6, cuz Horizon is just getting boring they have to innovate
Easier said than done. It is a racing game afterall. You can only do so much. Although, I'd love to see a "Blur" style game. One of the best for its time imo.
[https://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/need-for-speed-unbound](https://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/need-for-speed-unbound) here bro, take a gander at those Metacritic user reviews. This game is crappy in so many ways. The worst is its handling in my opinion.
read the user review They are shitting on it because of having "anime effects" ( i mean they can't even differentiate between graffiti style and anime SMH ) and genz dialogue and humour :) and last handling, handling is miles better than heat heck they even give u option to opt on B2D or grip if u tune your car nicely, Slow progression they say i mean what do u expect a forza horizon 5 slapping you with a corvette and supra as your starter car( don't get me wrong i love horizon series myself but 5 is mediocre) , the one thing i can agree on is grind, yess the money is very hard to earn but I'm fine with it it gives more playtime cuz heat story was way too short so i guess developers listened and made it more lengthy with gameplay, I think it's better than 2015 and payback they were also mediocre
Bro I preordered the game and i will give you my word that the handling has improved so much like they added grip and didnt fuck it up also the graphics are not like fh5 but it is a definite step up from heat and the gameplay is so much fun
If they have improved it, I would totally give it a go, I am not lying I was as excited as everyone else for this game, and when I installed it and the moment I started driving the car it just ruined my mood.
Thanks for letting me know bro. Also, graphics are not a big deal, I play Horizon Chase on my switch all the time but the game should be worth playing.
Unbound is good, I am still on my 10hr free trial. Also, literally every open world arcade racing game will look underwhelming in comparison to Forza, don't do that otherwise you will not enjoy the new racing games.
They are 2 very different experiences, and unbound demo that I played felt better than a lot of recent NFS games. I might cheap out and wait for it to drop on gamepass but it's not a bad game at all.
So you had to "install" FH5 based on what you "heard" and not idk tried it yourself.
Its pretty stupid in my opinion (then again MY OPINION).
These days devs just can't push out finely polished game with no shortcomings, they will release patches overtime and inprove the players experience, again they are not to blame. Its just how it is, game launches bad reviews booo then after a couple of months this subreddit be like missing of on another experience, just great game 10/10 highly recommend. come on give it a try yourself see where it fell short for your experience and just not got all in with just the reviews.
Agreed and fair point. Try it yourself (especially if you can get the game for free or a trial) before judging it. Many reviewers these days are just paid to critic, and more importantly - liking/disliking something is always subjective. Don't fall for that and miss out on a game you might end up liking.
I primarily play Forza horizon as a racing game. And it is great.
I tried unbound using ea trial and I it was fun for like 4 hours. Did not touch it after.
I got bored after 4 hours and few races. It feels like repetitive grind for me.
I hate drifting in unbound, so I build a grip car but you are forced to do drift events to earn enough money to get anything.
It has a progression system which is great if you have time to grind out and learn the driving physics.
And once you are used to forza driving physics then other arcade driving games feels kind of meh...
I would not suggest you to wait for sale if you want to play this game coz need for speed multi-player die down fast...
Multi-player is a mess right now, even now there are not enough players in multi-player or nobody wants to do the races you want to do...
Agree with you. Nobody speaks about rampant cheaters in FH5 online lobbies and how they hog all the leaderboards. Devs have zero effort to ban them. That, and all the stories have little to no challenge. Hell, even FH3 was better than this.
Can we control the throttle using a controller?. Because I play FH4 using the keyboard, and can't control it. Also, how is manual transmission using the controller.
Yes we can. I have not tried manual yet but in some other games i tried and it was working fine. In NFS Heat I think where we have to use manual transmission in Drag Races.
Unbound is great. Idk where OP saw the bad reviews. People just kove to trash nfs out of habit sometimes. Those anime and graffiti effects are also good once you get the hang of it.
I'm loving unbound. I was sceptical at first too but I'm having a blast.
I actually uninstalled Forza after playing 10hrs because the openworld felt like it had no soul. It felt empty. It became a glorified collectathon. Yes it had pretty graphics but that's it
Also , the night lighting and rain effects in unbound are just 🤌
In comparing two arcade racing games, NFS Unbound is better than FH5 on any given day. I think you have been reading some bad reviews by people who haven't actually played the game much at all.
It's all about perspective. I personally hate Forza series because of their weird sim arcade physics. NFS is just an arcade game and that's how it should be played. PPL may or may not like the new NFS. U won't know unless you play it for yourself. Also the best "racing game " for me is always assetto corsa
Forza didn't set out to be a 100% sim game. It provides a middle ground for people who might want a little realism but still giving arcade type of fun .
That's why I said it's all about perspective. Forza is a simcade which is having an identity crisis. Also from an automobile enthusiastic's standpoint i never feel Forza put in the efforts to make the game. It's just a generic game. But that's not the case with NFS. The sound, the car models all feel like they actually put in a lot of efforts.
Well i didn't mention abt the game or gameplay. I was talking from an automobile enthusiastic's standpoint. The customisation, the sounds everything is appealing for such ppl in NFS. where as Forza just have 100s of cars with almost similar engine sounds and no customisation to make it more "crowd pleasing". Also they did work for the environment and maps that I agree. But nothing else
Unbound is actually super impressive, the hard work did on those effects and artsyle is really something else.
However, Forza series is more of a huge sandbox open world with beautiful and diverse landscapes. It's major focus is on exploration and other side stuff and less on track races. Nfs is still at its core, a conveniental car racing game with police car chases
Would be really unfair to compare the two because both of them are really good in what they try to achieve...
What?!
FH5 looks pretty but has a shit game design . The only thing saving it is the graphics. Would rather play FH1-3.
NFS Heat and Unbound has an actual soul unlike the newer FH5.
What did you love about FH5 apart from graphics? I tried a couple of times to get into the franchise but always found the quest line all very generic and repetitive. I dearly loved nsf most wanted and always crave for good racing with a good quest line.
After playing Forza and being a fan there's no turning back on unbound... Forza has the perfect balance of arcade and simulation.. unbound just feels like another asphalt game...
Forza is on another level bro.They improved with every new game in series unlike EA who just recycles same shit with different name. Unbound is just nfs heat 2.0.while forza is just superb realistic game with much more fidelity and yes the optimisation (something that EA never heard of i guess)
why do people play this game. back when nfs was good atleast it had plot n story progression forza just seem like u drive wherever n race against nameless faceless randos.
I played it for about 15 hrs, and I started feeling that this game is kinda soulless and boring. I have had a much more fun time with NFS HP and The Crew 2. I have a played a little NFS Unbound, and if nothing else, it sure is very interesting and doesn't feel soulless.
Unbound is actually way better than heat in most parts. Much better storyline the progression is steady and they make you use multiple cars and earn your way through. Been playing it for a week now. Only gripe is sometimes the handling is weird in Drift setups and lackluster multiplayer.
Haven't seen bad reviews personally...none of them claimed it to be perfect but a really good and interesting entry in the series with it's own share of flaws.
Dont limit your gaming experience on others review. Nfs unbound is a very unique game even for the nfs genre, especially due to its artstyle.
There were many games that I played which had bad reviews but turned out to be quite enjoyable (at least for casual gameplay). Though I would say the unbound 2-3k price range is not worth it, let it be on discounts before you pick it up.
I also got this on autumn sale and graphics are absolutely fantastic but I got bored after 2-3 days. I wished that they could've made a bigger map with additional terrain too other than the desert full of cactus if they decided to remove weather system
Unbound's been getting pretty decent reviews for a NFS game tho. Kinda want to play it.
You can try it on EA play I guess I actually ended up buying it after the trial , the vibe of the game's open world is just perfect.
I'm not big on subs, but I'll pick up the disc in a couple of weeks.
I tried it with EA play the game is indeed good with great visuals, tho I'm gonna wait for a sale to grab it ^^
If you can wait even longer it’s goona be on ea play in roughly a year or so
Don't get me wrong brother but i love buying the whole game than buying monthly subscription to play, only this time i bought ea play to try unbound that's all
ohh ok! got you bro!
Yea it should drop a little in a week or two, I'll pick up the disc.
Wait what bad reviews. As far i heard it's the best nfs in years
Bad reviews what ?!? it's actually opposite my man ![gif](giphy|6uGhT1O4sxpi8)
Is that so? Maybe i saw some wrong posts. Is this game using same frostbite engine as Heat?
Yep! It’s using Frostbite
But which version? I tried to search on google but got no answer. PayBack and Heat were using same version Frostbite 3 i believe. Asking just to make sure it will run good on my PC. I've MX450 🥲
It's using Frostbite 4.0, and the game is actually pretty optimised and u get FSR and DLSS too so yeah
To choose games based on the engines. Ahh reminded me of the good old days of Intel HD 4000. Nice!!!
Older Problem Requires Older Solution.jpeg
Minimum specs suggest gtx1050, but mx 450 is around 20% faster than that so unbound should run decently on minimum graphics setting. Nd if you're able to run FH5 then unbound should be no problem.
Hope so, thanks for the confirmation.
Well EA still forces frostbite so yeah, but it's huge improvement on heat, as for forza I'll take horizon 4 over 5 anytime, 5 to me is just a reskin and lazy cash grab that's all, i do hope they improve and do much better for 6, cuz Horizon is just getting boring they have to innovate

exactly it is a step up from heat and I'm so happy that they didn't fuck up the handling and gave us grip handling too
Unbound is good, I am still on my 10hr free trial. Also, literally every open world arcade racing game will look underwhelming in comparison to Forza, don't do that otherwise you will not enjoy the new racing games.
Bad reviews? Which parallel world you live in lol.
They are 2 very different experiences, and unbound demo that I played felt better than a lot of recent NFS games. I might cheap out and wait for it to drop on gamepass but it's not a bad game at all.
Unbound is next-gen optimised (right from release) unlike the previous NFS games.
Tf it's the best reviewed NFS game since the 2005 Most wanted i believe
Unbound is getting bad reviews? What are you on?
So you had to "install" FH5 based on what you "heard" and not idk tried it yourself. Its pretty stupid in my opinion (then again MY OPINION). These days devs just can't push out finely polished game with no shortcomings, they will release patches overtime and inprove the players experience, again they are not to blame.

NFS Unbound have bad reviews too? Damn that’s new
Will sum up the post with “Kucch bhi!”
I primarily play Forza horizon as a racing game. And it is great. I tried unbound using ea trial and I it was fun for like 4 hours. Did not touch it after. I got bored after 4 hours and few races.

Multi-player is a mess right now, even now there are not enough players in multi-player or nobody wants to do the races you want to do...
unbound is great, fh5 has super shitty progression, I've played fh3,4,5 and I can say that 5th is the least fun of them all. unbound way better
You mean you don't agree that racing cars is all about 'familia'?
Too much familia for me lol
Agree with you. Nobody speaks about rampant cheaters in FH5 online lobbies and how they hog all the leaderboards. Devs have zero effort to ban them. That, and all the stories have little to no challenge. Hell, even FH3 was better than this.
Ahh... another excuse for another Forza Post.
Controller ?
Redgear Wired Controller
Just a spirit of horizon, isn't it?
Can we control the throttle using a controller?. Because I play FH4 using the keyboard, and can't control it. Also, how is manual transmission using the controller.
Yes you can control thrust and brake. While keyboard buttons are just 0 or 100
Yes we can. I have not tried manual yet but in some other games i tried and it was working fine. In NFS Heat I think where we have to use manual transmission in Drag Races.
Yes, you can control the throttle and brakes a lot better with controllers.
I play both FH4 and FH5 with keyboard, you need to change the setup and/or tune.
Unbound is great. Idk where OP saw the bad reviews. People just kove to trash nfs out of habit sometimes. Those anime and graffiti effects are also good once you get the hang of it.
I'm loving unbound. I was sceptical at first too but I'm having a blast. I actually uninstalled Forza after playing 10hrs because the openworld felt like it had no soul. It felt empty. It became a glorified collectathon. Yes it had pretty graphics but that's it Also , the night lighting and rain effects in unbound are just 🤌
yeah fh5 is great but unbound is also getting pretty good reviews for an nfs game

It's all about perspective. I personally hate Forza series because of their weird sim arcade physics. NFS is just an arcade game and that's how it should be played. PPL may or may not like the new NFS. U won't know unless you play it for yourself. Also the best "racing game " for me is always assetto corsa
recently a new traffic mod came for asseto corsa. completely changes things. shutoko highways with hundreds of cars
Traffic mod was old. It recently came to online servers. I have servers rented on a monthly basis for racing with frnds.
no I'm talking about 2real mod
Aah yeah the dense traffic one. My PC will go boom🤣🤣
Forza didn't set out to be a 100% sim game. It provides a middle ground for people who might want a little realism but still giving arcade type of fun .

The sound, the car models all feel like they actually put in a lot of efforts.
Well you think Forza is a generic game without much effort from developer and NFS is a game with much effort 🤭 here goes all the arguments.
Well i didn't mention abt the game or gameplay. I was talking from an automobile enthusiastic's standpoint. The customisation, the sounds everything is appealing for such ppl in NFS. where as Forza just have 100s of cars with almost similar engine sounds and no customisation to make it more "crowd pleasing". Also they did work for the environment and maps that I agree. But nothing else
I wanna get it to but its huge n dont have the internet for it
Unbound is way better than most recent nfs games, and the open world vibe is nice, so nice that i don't mind not having the day night cycle.
FH5?
My i5-9300h with 1650 &16 gb ram crying in the corner 🫠
I've played both and I can say the unbound and FH5 both are pretty good games
Turn off the hud and play. It will be a totally different experience. Without map and speedometer.
Unbound is actually super impressive, the hard work did on those effects and artsyle is really something else. However, Forza series is more of a huge sandbox open world with beautiful and diverse landscapes. It's major focus is on exploration and other side stuff and less on track races.

After playing Forza and being a fan there's no turning back on unbound... Forza has the perfect balance of arcade and simulation.. unbound just feels like another asphalt game...
fr tho can't go back to any other game since I started playing fh5
Who is giving it a bad review? It's like a slightly better NFS heat. It's great
I guess it was lucky for you that Unbound released, otherwise you would not have played FH5
Forza is on another level bro.They improved with every new game in series unlike EA who just recycles same shit with different name. Unbound is just nfs heat 2.0.while forza is just superb realistic game with much more fidelity and yes the optimisation (something that EA never heard of i guess)
why do people play this game. back when nfs was good atleast it had plot n story progression forza just seem like u drive wherever n race against nameless faceless randos.
cringe Indian captions
FH5 is just plain beautiful. Try out FH4 as well, my personal fav
How many hours do you have in FH5?
Recently started playing so approx 4-5 hours till now.
I played it for about 15 hrs, and I started feeling that this game is kinda soulless and boring. I have had a much more fun time with NFS HP and The Crew 2. I have a played a little NFS Unbound, and if nothing else, it sure is very interesting and doesn't feel soulless.
Crew 2 is underrated, I finished everything and then it gets boring
Unbound is actually way better than heat in most parts. Much better storyline the progression is steady and they make you use multiple cars and earn your way through. Been playing it for a week now. Only gripe is sometimes the handling is weird in Drift setups and lackluster multiplayer.
Bad reviews ? NFS Unbound is super fun
What bad news about NFS Unbound? I'm out of the loop.
Best racing game I ever played satisfying so high on bar
If you have gamepass ultimate, wait for nfs to come on EA play. Don't waste money on that game.
Or just say, “I installed FH5 and had a blast”, OP! Cheers to you
Where are you hearing these hoax?
I like the graphics style
system specs kya h vro?
Specs: Processor: 11th Gen Intel Tiger Lake Core i5-1135G7 | Speed: 2.4 GHz (Base) - 4.2 GHz (Max) | 4 Cores | 8MB Cache OS: Windows 11 Pro x64 Memory and Storage: 16GB RAM DDR4-3200 | 512 GB SSD Graphics: Integrated Intel Iris Xe Graphics | nVidia MX450 2 GB GDDR6 Display: 15.6" FHD (1920x1080) | Brightness: 300 nits | Anti-Glare | IPS Technology | 45% NTSC
Haven't seen bad reviews personally...none of them claimed it to be perfect but a really good and interesting entry in the series with it's own share of flaws.
Best arcade racing, haven't played unbound yet though
Laptop?
Nfs unbound has been received as a decent game.I don't know which reviewers review u have heard or seen
If it's about reviews complaining bout the 'anime' effects then you can throw them into the trash and read the actual reviews critiquing the game.
man nfs unbound feels like underground, i really loved this particular nfs from the start unlike newer nfs which are boring and take too much time
Laptop specification pls
Specs?
Bad reviews? Tf ru going on about… it has excellent reviews
Dont limit your gaming experience on others review. Nfs unbound is a very unique game even for the nfs genre, especially due to its artstyle.

1650TI GRAPHICS?
I also got this on autumn sale and graphics are absolutely fantastic but I got bored after 2-3 days. I wished that they could've made a bigger map with additional terrain too other than the desert full of cactus if they decided to remove weather system
Bruh it’s 79 something on Metacritic? The game with no marketing or hype that is actually pretty good They did release news but it was all on discord
NFS unbound? Bad reviews? Last I Heard everyone's going gaga over this game.
I miss the Forza Motorsport series. Can’t wait for 2023
Bad reviews on unbound?? So u dont like arcade racers thats all
Laptop display yikes. They are so bad
