Music in this game is absolute trash

[Angelica]

That is all.

100!

Still can't believe this game got all the second year of SURPRISE updates it did. Defo turned this game around, defo the PvP.

HOLY S**T! I bought the game to see if I could endure the music and just enjoy the game for what it is. It's 93% OFF, so I tought it was worth it.

I WAS SO WRONG! IT'S BAD! MY EARS! What were EA thinking when they made this soundtrack? I turned the game off with 20 minutes of gameplay. It's SO bad! I honestly can't think of a reason on why they f**ked up the soundtrack so bad like that. Jesus. It's the worst soundtrack in a racing game I have ever heard, and I mean it!

Erm... options/audio/music volume.

Spotify.

Win.

Happy New Year <3

That's is a janky workaround, not a solution.
Happy New Year for you too.

Love it (I do) or hate it - it's unique and gives the game a vibe.

Need for Speed Underground won an award for best music? YAY \o/ It deserves it!
Unbound could win an award for something similar. Worst Music maybe.

[Zepondrax]

Agree. Its all RAP Music. I dont like Criterion Games. On my gaming PC too the game felt a little jerky.

Janky workaround?! ITS AN OPTION BUILT INTO THE GAME to turn the music down/off.

DUDE - the music not being to your taste really should not be a deal breaker.

Even if it was great, you aren't going to just listen to the game music all the time. I'm willing to bet most players listen to their own music. PERSONALLY, after work, I prefer JUST ENGINE SOUNDS - I find they relax me.

Will it play the songs dynamically, like it should in a video game? No. So, it's a clunky workaround.

And you're wrong about your bet. Most players do listen to the game's music while driving the cars because the music sets the tone of the game, unless you're Gen Z, which seems to be the target audience of this game.

Ask any old NFS player, and they'll tell you that the music plays (pun intended) a big role in setting the game's atmosphere.

I like it when songs in game switch to chorus when you finish a race. You can't do that with Youtube or Spotify. Not trying to be rude but a thousand hours in Unbound? Why?

I've played it for over 30 hours and I already feel like I overplayed it.

Ok. I see yours and Hoff's point and it's fair enough. I actually do like the music though - even listen to it in my real car!

The PvP is thrilling. The skill ceiling is high. The races can go back and forth and so nany clutch and awesome moments in race.

The vibe and customisation.

It's just FUN. Gets the heart racing.

Also... NFSUNBOUND dropped during a difficult moment in my life. I was sat around at home for 6 months so the hours racked up. It helped carry me through a bad time. That and BF2042, which I dont miss, because it wasn't great.

But yea - no other game provides the same PvP adrenaline rush like this one.

yah the music makes the different in NFS games this one sucks

Fair enough. So Unbound multiplayer it's your comfort game. I respect that. Enjoy your PvP, dude. They say MP in this game is really good. I'm more of a singleplayer guy.

I see. I find that gaming in general helps a lot when you are going through something.

Tried PVP for a while. I kept losing though even when my cars in each tier were upgraded to the max. Is it pay to win? Cause I just have the base game.

No, no, no. I wouldn't enjoy this much if it was.

High skill ceiling. I used to lose in PvP always and even the SP. Now SP is a walk in the park and PvP I am usually top 3 if playing with experienced players or 1st if newbies (I usually wait at finish line for newbies to catch up and win... I remember how disheartening it used to be when I'd get DNF'ed by experienced players, plus they need the money more).

High skill ceiling.

Meanwhile unbound PvP: start race, lose instantly because of hacker

Or start race, afk, lose, earn 13,000 dollars for last place and 15,000 for first.
