I thought I made one of these before.. Maybe not.

Anyway this is a Need For Speed discussion thread. Mostly to divert the discussion from the "Post Your Desktop" thread.. So here are some replies to posts on that to start us off. o3o

What do you run? n.n
I have NFSU2 and World on my computer, Carbon is for my Wii, and Most Wanted is for GameCube. I'm getting NFSU1 for GameCube later today.

I'm getting NFSU1 for the GameCube because I lost the installation code for the PC version of the game. But it's $10 at GameStop so why not?

We also have Hot Pursuit 2, Prostreet, Porsche Unleashed, and NFS3: Hot Pursuit for the PC but Prostreet doesn't work and the other 3 are kinda old.

Really though, it's better than NFSU2 minus not having an open map.
Haha I'm getting it for Gamecube also because I really liked Most Wanted for GC. xD

Open map would be cool if they remade it or something.

Methinks this should go in gaming cause NFS isn't just PC.

You can actually start to explore the NFSU1 map in some areas where you can go for ages past the barrier. The most notable one is on that shortcut where the traffic going across is almost unavoidable, and the traffic is coming from a bridge. You can go for ages on that bridge before it resets you.

Ah, that could be a fun thing to do.

And I actually just bot NFSU1 for GameCube, it was $10.

NFSUI wasn't nearly the game NFSUII was. Honestly, by a very thin margin, NFSUII is my favorite racing game of all time. The variety in races, vehicles, the customization options, and the ability to pull any vehicle up to top ranks bears favor with me.

New NFSU games annoy me somewhat. Look at Carbon. I was jazzed to see the '69 SS and the 300C. The Viper was also awesome... But the fact that they were beaten by an Audi R8... Ugh. I hate Audi R8s. >:l

I want to see racing games [Like Drift City n.n] who employ the ability to modify any vehicle to super ranks. That's one reason I love Forza, as well, as I can take a Beetle GTS and plop the AWD V6 from the Golf 32 under the hood, and bam, I'm untouchable.

But yeah, back to this. o3o

I race all games, really, but in Need For Speed, I lean towards muscle where I can, avoiding Fords. I prefer the brute force of Dodge or the grace of Chevy. n.n

Hah, I like Toyota. :3 And Honda for earlier games. Mitsubishi sometimes, too.


Also this error pops up when I try to play NFS World:

Embedded image

It always pops up after I log in and launch the game, during the loading screen before you can start playing.

Any idea what's wrong?

You're running Windows, that's the problem. o3o

Nosrsly, try uninstalling the entire program, and reinstalling it. I know it sounds stupid, but give it a shot.

A probably faster alternative would be to go back to the NFS:World download page, and download it again. Your machine will ask if you want to remove NFS:World, or repair it. Click the obvious: Repair. It should fix it up in minutes. o3o

I already uninstalled and re-installed NFSW and it only worked once after re-installation.

It still gives the error.

I don't remember a repair option.

I think I'm addicted to NFSU1 at the moment. D:

Speaking of that, I just switched to a manual transmission, after some frustration with the automatic. I kept overbraking to make it shift down to get acceleration, and eventually it caused me to lose a race.

And also on Technomancer's post quoted in the OP, I just usually use a Tiburon for speed and leave the visuals stock, and then I use a Civic for magazine covers and stuff, and I also use some of my spare money to buy performance upgrades. Although on my only completed file my Civic is the fastest, and the handling sucks. D:
