So, i installed TMNF again after almost a year now, which i previously uninstalled just after 2-3 minutes of playing, and decided to give it another shot! I was getting repulsed by the minute, couldnt stand to play it any longer than 10 minutes!
And here is why:
1) -- Menu interface is somehow childish, but ok, im not here to look at the interface all day, im here to play, so i entered some random server.
2) -- But as i was just trying to enter any server, i found myself in the JUNGLE of nations, provinces, servers, players... a loong way just to enter the server.
3) -- Font! OMG the font must be the ugliest they could of used for a game! I wouldnt even bother reading the chat by how ugly it looked!
4) -- Screen was taken over by widgets, left, top, right... your driving screen is smaller by 30% just because of all that junk!
5) -- Graphics are waaaaaay to shiny, just childish! Night mode stadium is too dark, and when i dropped the graphic quality down a notch, then it looked waaay too plastic.
6) -- Driving was something completely different, i would need some time to adopt to it, but brake was little bit too hard, not on what i used to. Quickly pressing enter to get back at start and starting over left me confused, since with enter you are just respawning (continuing from the last checkpoint).
7) -- Maps are full of junk scenery, palms, water, dirt, air-baloons... I mean, cmon! if nothing before that wasnt childish, maps would knock you down!
8) -- It took me 2 and a half years to get a satisfying rank in TMN, and starting over in TMNF just doesnt come in mind!
9) -- Since i (and now many others) bought a key to authentificate the TMN account, we would have to buy United key in order to share data like custom car skin and avatar with others in TMNF, and prices are hilarious! $12.99 for 6 months or $39.99 for unlimited time!
10) -- So all in all, the feel, the experience and the look are totally repulsing!
My score: 0/10
I have NO clue why are people playing this game, and i am just happy that there are still enough players in TMN to have some fun!
TMN >>> FOREVER!
