Honestamente, gameplay bacana, jogo legal, mas tem uma coisa que eu ODEIO é quando tentam consertar algo que simplesmente não tá lá. é essa M&RDA SIM, M&RDA DE EA APP, Esse lixo, esse estrume de launcher foi feito apenas pra dificultar a sua vida, gastar horas do seu precioso dia de quando você chega em casa cansado querendo jogar um pouco não sei o que atualizaram nesse fertilizante natural, mas acontece que o launcher simplesmente não reconhece nenhum game meu da steam, e ainda quando tento abrir ele, ele mostra uma telinha bonitinha de carregamento "Preparando o jogo", legal né? apenas cosm

[h1] 《极品飞车:Heat》鉴赏:最容易被看扁的一代 [/h1] [h2] 为什么说它“最容易被看扁” [/h2] 《极品飞车:Heat》在我看来,是一个特别容易被看扁的《极品飞车》。我自己就是第二次、第三次玩,才真正把它玩通,把所有剧情任务打完;前两次都是玩到一半就直接弃了。原因很简单:它开头的卖相真的不太行,尤其是你初见它的时候,教程一过、第一章一上来就是白天场景,而这游戏在纯晴天白天的画面表现可以说惨不忍睹,甚至比《极品飞车:复仇》(也就是 20)那种大量白天画面还要差不少。当年我第一次在 Xbox 上玩,还以为是主机平台的问题;这次在 PC 上把画质全拉满再进,结果还是一样——白天开局依旧劝退,这是第一个巨大的误会点。 第二个劝退点就是速度感。Heat 这作的前期速度感非常弱,车还没强、速度还没起来的时候,你跑前期赛事会觉得“怎么这么慢”。再叠加它的结构:白天是合法赛事,晚上是非法赛事,白天的比赛本来就更无聊一点,你会真的产生一种“我在城市里合法开车”的错觉,甚至会玩到昏昏欲睡。我甚至觉得这是 Steam 上这堆《极品飞车》里,最容易在开头把玩家劝退的一作。但它有意思的地方在于:这两个问题到后面都会出现一种扭转。 [h2] 夜晚与雨夜:它真正的质感在这里 [/h2] 白天晴天画面那股“惨”,说实话到后面也没彻底救回来,但只要一到夜晚,尤其是下雨的夜晚,这游戏的质感会突然
