NFS Most Wanted 2 (Xbox 360) sucks sweaty balls. I'm done with it.
Be warned. You're going to see some serious raging. It's not often that a game I used to love gives me tons of reasons to hate it in rapid succession. All the following bullshit happened in one night of gameplay, all within a two hour span. There's no consistency in this game. Whereas before, I was able to clip or graze traffic cars and not get put into the CRASHED cutscene, now it happens all the time. The crash at 0:03 was bullshit. The Veyron and I just barely touched each other, and yet I go FLYING into the wall. It's as if I never hit the Veyron. He just kept on driving straight. Definitely a syncing error. The crash at 1:46 was BULLSHIT. I've hit cars at weird angles like that thousands of times before, and it never put me into the CRASHED cutscene. As long as you don't hit the vehicle square-on, you're fine.... unless the game just decides to fuck you over randomly, like what happened here. 2:17 was completely avoidable; I was just too busy raging to notice my wide line, and the rapidly approaching wall. The crash at 2:22 was odd. Notice how it looked like I was going to just glance off the Cobalt, and then I get put into the CRASHED cutscene about a half second later? Ugh. The GT MC Stradale is a decently tough car; I'm use to just glancing off traffic cars when I hit them directly at low speeds. And yet, that isn't even consistent anymore. You see why I hate this game now. It's poorly optimized, and extremely buggy. You can't help but get tired of being cheated out of race victories after a while. I have one more Multiplayer Racing video left to upload after this- just some miscellanoues racing footage. After that, there will be no more Most Wanted 2 (Xbox 360) videos. I do plan on continuing my PC COPS miniseries, and making it a full series. Expect at least two seasons. I'll start working on it after I finish my Most Wanted 1 COPS series.
