I like both. They both are cool

Playing through Heat was actually fun, playing through Unbound feels more like a chore than a videogame

Heat never gets boring for me. The cop chases are intense and fun, the sense of speed is great, the sound design is on point (especially with turbochargers), the customization is very wide, and one of my favorite things to do is recreate movie cars and experiment with new builds, it’s easy to earn money, all of the races are free, you can choose whether you want to play during night or day, and it’s storyline is entertaining and not TOO challenging. I played unbound myself to see the difference, and comparing the two, I can say, with confidence, that I like Heat more.

It’s a very small detail but has the biggest impact for me, the garage. You can place all your favorite cars around the garage in Heat

I wish Unbound had the same free access to races like Heat, the same possibilities to decide wether I want to race solo or against other players and the day/night switch. I‘d probably wouldn’t lay a finger on Heat again. But with those limitations in Unbound I find myself playing Heat again and enjoying it a lot.

I like nfs heat because of map design and car sounds. For unbound on the other hand, the map layouts are so gray and feels like you are in the dark crowded city similar to bladerunner, the cars and customization are always winnable. Including the story as well because the players was able to deliver to the old owner by bringing the legendary m3 instead beating up all over again. but things aside, heat that I always come back because of gameplay mechanics. >

I actually like NFS Heat better than Unbound. I mean don't get me wrong NFS Unbound is cool but you really have to scratch and claw your way through it were as Heat you can just fly through the game so my favourite is Heat

I love how this gave the introspective of Head vs Heart, "The facts say this, but I want that". The video and all your points in it are great with well-thought explanations, but you had a horse in this race (pun intended. lol) and I respect you for sticking with your own research instead of trying to change it up to fit the narrative your heart wanted.

Heat if u don’t like the grind

Things i like in Heat over Unbound (keep in mind im not a NFS longtime fan or anything) • The Seamless Day Night Transition • The Drifting • The Setting • The online coop races Things I like in Unbound over Heat • Customization (Car and Driver) • Visuals • The Nos System

Interesting video, In relation to your scoring system One aspect that caught my attention was the significance of car accessibility (Get Additional Cars)and upgrades. Both in multiplayer and solo modes, upgrading the cars proved to be quite expensive and takes a serious grind, definitely affected by what you mentioned about how the speed traps or jumps aren't repayable unlocking cars in the multiplayer mode presented a challenge, exorbitant amount of time and effort. 30 playlists, for a car, each playlist consisting of three races, amounting to a total of 90 races just to unlock a single car.

I prefer the heat, because the party can accommodate 8 people, I don't like to run the leaderboard, I don't like stand-alone games, I like the excitement, and the day and night are separated, so I prefer the exciting night

Unbound is an objectively superior game from a feature & data standpoint, as you effectively demonstrated, and while I do enjoy Unbound, it has never even approached the "fun factor" of Heat for me personally. In those initial months of playing Heat, I literally couldn't wait to get back to it every single day. I went on vacation a couple months in and literally brought a PS4 with me because I didn't want to be away from the game for a week Lol. This was the case even before finding your channel; just me playing the game by myself... I enjoyed the heck out of it. I enjoy Unbound, but I've never once felt a pull to it like I did with Heat. I'm happy to find time to play, but I don't "need" to play and consequently don't find myself prioritizing it.

I really loved nfs heat and i feel like nothing could replace that

I still love HEAT, still waiting for Unbound to be on Sale. Heat gave me the excitement of driving, the city near the waters is just make sense with Off Road racing, the soundtrack match the atmosphere there. If i wanted challenges, I'll go for night racing for Parts and the cops is so fun to mess around with even though it gave me anxiety when trying to get away with it😂

I don't hate Unbound and it isn't a bad game, I just think I'm biased with Heat since it was my first NFS since Undercover on Xb360. Just sucks that Criterion was forcefully pulled from supporting Heat a year early, and the extra year delay for Unbound felt like it wasn't utilised to the fullest, despite having a lot of upgrades from Heat it just didn't have the same fun factor for me.

3 Little things separate me from the two. Heat: I love the ocean, beaches and swampy areas, railroad tracks Unbound: I don't care for the Chicago map, it's just stale and boring to me. Heat: I adore the choice of day or night, I love the night in heat the most, it's at it's peak in graphics at night. Plus for me at night, I like interrupting players races, I troll them a bit (in my police rsr) lol, noob players are the most fun, I pin them in a spot, boom the cops arrest them, byebye all that rep lmfao Unbound: no comment, I hate the forced day to night cycle Lastly for heat: I love that you can build one car for the whole game, in online or solo. That car (me 2015 ford mustang gt) can be used in any race at anytime. You build it to 400+ boom💥 start on your next car. So simple Unbound: ugh wtf was ea thinking? What 5 car classes, you are forced to have multiple builds, forced separation from online & solo???? I hate discovering that all my progress in solo did nothing for my online, I was so furious 🤬 (get it Furya is Furious) Every game I play that has online, I like to play it solo for a few months to practice my skill and build my character up, unbound I was shocked when I found out the two were separate. That's why I left the game, I do not like the forced separation of online to solo modes, kinda like grand theft auto 5 I hate the separation of online to solo, same shit, different game I trash on unbound all the time, can't help it, imo it's a trashy game with a NFS logo, heat to me is a freaking bloody masterpiece and that's the bottom line cause Stone Cold said so 🍻 🖕🏻🖕🏻

Both games are great! driving many cars in either games is awesome however Heats customization on the engine and have the potential to max out or swap the engine within the car was absolutely outstanding Heat felt good when drift racing or grip racing in the game whenever you race against friends or other player's. The total concentration on having the cops on your back was thrillin' but it was annoying at times. Heat levels did not hesitate to increase which made it all so fun.

I agree with Heat having a special spot in my heart, but I’ve honestly enjoyed Unbound a lot since it came out. I agree with your previous videos about what Unbound should add to the next volume, and I hope they listen!

Heat is by far the best NFS game as of now. The freedom you have in customization, racing whoever you want, and whatever you want instead of being subjected to BS lobbies in (Unbound) is so freeing. As well as the seamless entrance and exit in night races is way to neat of a detail they added. The ability of others viewing you racing from a far, or join in is something I knew they should have added on before. It only stirs up others to join in on races and get together. Swapping from day to night is another cool detail I love as well as transporting from safehouse to safehouse like Midnight Club LA. Building up your favorite car while progressing throughout the story was one of the highlights, instead of having to purchase other random shitty cars to spend stupid amount of cash on in (Unbound) is the worst. Not receiving enough cash in return. NFS HEAT literally exhibits Fast & Furious vibes. I enjoy just chilling for the timer to start for NFS Heat races and driving during the meantime till the race starts. I hate having to wait in those stupid lobbies in Unbound. They definitely should've added additional vehicles, it would've made the game that much better. But overall I still play NFS Heat when I have free time in Night races. The joy I have showing off my BMW M5 and smoking others in it, is the joy I haven't felt since Midnight Club LA and Most Wanted. though MW did not have multiplayer option. NFS HEAT hands down, is theee best NFS so far. Unbound is trash.

The reason i think you want heat to be the winner is that you like the different(and quite original compared to other nfs games)of legal races the day and illegal the night,it feels better and you don t need to escape from cops all the time,and the system of reputation gives you kind of a challenge to get the most reputation without getting caught by police

I like NFS Heat's colour pallette, neon blue n pink is really pretty n has that night street race look. NFS Unbound is a game that kinda fixes most of the issues in NFS Heat, n is presented in a more, creative n unique way. Kinda like that as well.

KZfaq recommended me this video after i uninstalled NFS: unbound out of frustration. Almost everything was pissing me off in that game, except car modification. I completed NFS: Heat on 100% and i know i will come back some day, this game just had a VIBE. I don't know how to describe this, but the feeling while driving cars, map in the style of miami, mixed legal and illegal races with that sweet realistic graphics and very fitting music, when it all comes together it becomes a pure pefrection for me.

My favorite video yet. The sheer amount of data you collected on your spreadsheet is astounding. I pretty much agree with everything. I love both games, but I feel Unbound slightly gets the nod for best NFS game.

While I'll be honest, I haven't played Unbound, I've watched a lot of gameplays. Though this also up to personal taste, one thing you did not mention was the story. Personally, I like the story of Heat much better than that of Unbound. And part of me still wishes we'd gotten some sort of a continuation for it.

Besides of these categories, i like heat more than unbound on it's gameplay styles. Heat had the way more adrenaline gameplay style than the unbound had, sense of speed and zooming camera effect was very catchy on it.

appreciate the hard work from you guys 🙏🏻

Class races made a huge difference for me, it made way more cars viable for race than Heat

If Unbound had cops like in Heat, it would be the best Need for Speed game since The Run

I enjoy both of them overall. Just sorta wish Heat had more car selections like Unbound did.

reall detailed comparison, loved it. Subbed.

I just bought both games two weeks ago and finished heat tonight and started unbound. I have to say, I was taken back with how “similar” the whole game is as far as settings, driving, style etc. but unbound seems a bit more polished. Thoroughly enjoyed heat, and looking forward to diving deeper in unbound.

Haven't had the opportunity to play Unbound yet, BUT, I absolutely LOVE NFS HEAT, I hadn't played a race car game in YEARS, and once I played it, I was hooked, I absolutely love NFS HEAT, it's not a perfect game but IT IS MY FAVORITE GAME TO PLAY, PERIOD.

the car depth made unbound miles ahead of heat for me. I had overall 200 hours in heat. meanwhile in unbound i already have 395 hours. and i still have so many cars to try out and build. in unbound i spent millions building cars for different tiers and the burst nitrous mechanic + learning manual made me feel like i had a skill to increase to work on. Unbound needs leaderboards in game and drag and drift racing in the next update and it’s gonna be in a good state again.

I loved Heat but the length of Unboud, while not enjoyed by most, is refreshing to me. I played after the updates for cash so my experience may be diffrent than most, but the feeling of steady progression and unfolding story was basically all that was missing from Heat for me, as well as the switch from neon lit wet streets to street lamp wet streets felt like the edge I wanted from Heat as well

I totally respect your opinion even though I haven't played unbound yet.. I really wanna get it eventually I will maybe black Friday. I'm only 51% through heats campaign and I just put level on hard for more of a challenge and it has been. Actually I'm really late to heat I just recently started playing maybe a year ago. And honestly my favorite 2 racers so far have been Forza Horizon 4 and NFS Heat 🔥

I cannot agree more. Unbound is my first nfs I bought since Shift 2.

Imo, in terms of grind I go with Heat cause when you buy a car and max it by 400+, you'll be earning back the cash in little or no time. It's like you can experiment with a specific car and customize to your liking, as they have offroad and drift courses to match your playstyle. As for Unbound, you can't just set your specific car to a max 400+ (S+ Class) as you're gonna eat asphalt with the 3 most broken rubberbanding AI (Lyric, Shimizu, Medusa). You need to strategize when to race or hide as your heat level increases. I like how they bring back the old set of OG cars like the Eclipse and the RX8 as well as the police cars (Ford Victoria & Charger Hellcat). Such a bad move as they put the M3 GTR locked up on a paywall and a multiplayer exclusive, including the Custom Fairlady Z (Waru's car). Also, why haven't they release cars from the past games like Razor's/Rog's Mustang or Darius' R8 or the 5 Kings in Pro Street?

7:00 It's the setting. That "Florida/Miami" setting with all the colors makes it more likeable that the gritty brown/grey city setting.

Good detailed video👍

Heat for me; more races, better map, better cops, better story/campaign, day-night cycle, more performance parts, better car sounds (besides a few exceptions), drift events are actual drift events and all in all more variety in event types

Loaded up the video to see a spreadsheet of features with an opinion column. Damn bruh you made me so happy with the intro itself. This should be the standard for game comparisons

This is excellent im looking for a new competitive driving game and I wasn't sure what to pick but this covers everything thanks!

Great job at quantifying how good the games are. That was very well thought out. I haven’t played NFS Unbound, but what I can gather from what I hear is that the game isn’t as “fun” as NFS Heat. May be a better game, but not more fun. The cons in Heat feel like nuisances that we put up with, while on Unbound makes it feel like labor. Nobody likes labor.

Heat is easily better. The only reason heat died out so fast is cuz ea refused to give it more updates and even after you still had plenty of full lobbies in the nighttime during heat races etc. Unbound feels way too sluggish and nearly every car doesn't feel enjoyable. Heat>Unbound no diff

THANK YOU. So many comparison videos I've come across only review the graphics and how nice it looks/sounds. As if that is the only thing to judge a game on. Finally landed on a review that breaks down important things, like actual gameplay!

I wish there were more videos like this in the future

Heat was easily better in my opinon the memories from that game giving me nostalgia and it was only like 2 years ago Heat was a top 3 game i ever played easily!

THE WINNER IS, NEED 4 SPEED UNDERGROUND

The NFS heat really likeable because of the speed feeling you get when drifting or blazing through the highway on a race caused by the engine difference in both games. The other thing is the car level systems because that makes the regira OP which is good but until you realize that you can’t use it anywhere else and the races are made for a specific level so its bad to run with other cars even if it is over of under leveled unlike in heat.

Thanks for the wonderful video providing detailed comparison for both the games. I saw both on huge sale on Steam so wanted to decide which one to buy. I'll go with heat as I mostly just care to play single player and since campaign / replayability of races is better here. My overall feedback on comparison (based on my experience as a software engineer) would be that instead of counting number of pros in favor of a game, what matters is the "weighted average" i.e. not all pros are of equal value. For e.g. better campaign, replayability of races, cop difficulty is more important to me than multiplayer experience or variety of cars (unless hugely different). Hence, I'd assign more 'weights'/value to those pros and sum the weights overall for comparison.

As far as a whole experience, I still much prefer Heat. The forced day/night cycle really does impact the single player side negatively and as far as multiplayer, having it seperate and having to unlock everything twice is very frustrating and imo a frustrating experience at to increase gameplay time.

I honestly don't understand the hate people have for unbound. It tried something new in art style and driving mechanics. I'm actually physically addicted to the burst nos. And the fact that both drift and grip are viable deserves respect. The only thing this has against it are the cops

Thank You so much bro, I have been waiting tto see if i should buy nfs heat or unbound but now i understand the statistics and how you showed them to us.

TimeStamps for Topics --------------------------------------- Campaign: 1:21 Customization: 1:42 Car Performance: 2:15 Handling (Driving): 2:46 Cops: 3:23 Visuals/Art Styles: 4:03 Races: 4:26 Collectibles/Activities: 5:00 Maps: 5:25 Multiplayer: 5:47 Cars: 6:30 Conclusion: 6:55

In its current state, Unbound falls behind Heat, basically due to the factors Trigger mentions. However, if (IF!) the strict day/night system would be removed and the overall replayability of Unbound would be fixed (somehow), it could beat Heat. These modifications would, however, alter the experience itself significantly and Unbound seems to be a game that does not want to acknowledge compromise - hence, Heat is likely to stay ahead, at least for me.

You should live broadcast more, let them join the game, enjoy the fun of the game, so that you are worthy of your members

I have Heat from the PS Plus, which i haven't played yet. And palace edition is on 70% sale. Should i buy that as well or just play heat for now and wait for palace to be added to plus later on ?

Ultimately what should matter is where you want to drive 2015: Los Angeles Payback: Las Vegas + canyons Heat: Miami Unbound: Chicago

I also have a soft spot for Heat. It is the first game after UG2, in this goddamn franchise, that I actually liked. It had great atmosphere, beautiful customization... and my nerdy ass created a very touching backstory for my driver, and that extra bit of context made every line of dialogue 10 times better, no matter how little most people care for the story in a racing game. I have spent lots of truly enjoyable hours playing Heat and I believe Ghost was a unique studio that didn't deserve all the hate. That said, Unbound is simply more unique and fresh. It isn't just a return to the franchise's -roots- best era like Heat is, it is its natural evolution. It feels like the first game after the Blackbox games.

I really enjoyed both of them but heat is the definite winner in my book. I put at least double the hours into it

Very well-done and deep comparison. I personally like Unbound better especially the balance between shell-shaded graphics and semi-realistic car visuals. The multiplayer also plays better than Heat's.

Unqualified to answer yet, given how Unbound bought me back to NFS after more than a decade of hiatus dropping out with Hot Pursuit 2010. But Undound made me want to pick up Heat on a discount as well. The different style of campaign progression IMO is one of the best things going for BOTH, makes Heat relevant still. A sequel being a straight up upgrade can kill a previous game, glad they avoided that. Tho I really liked Unbound's fixed day-night & week cycle. Hustling your way up to the Grand was quite an immersive trip. However it really does fall flat with it's restrictions for post-campaign single-player. Unbound would really benefit from a Free race & garage singleplayer component. Have a garage size of 3-4-5-7-10 cars as you progress through the weeks in the campaign. These could be built free from the campaign unlocked inventory. But only used in "Quick Race" Where you could pick from both your single-player, multiplayer & free garage. Only get money rewards to single-player after completing the story so not to cheese campaign progression. Have these quick races be able to menu select to any class and track, put any car of your inventories (all3) and their own to the AI opponents. Maybe even invite friends for free multiplayer fun with theese wide options, just don't count toward online progression. This could greatly increase sigle-player replay value without breaking the economy. And even reduce the BS tedium for build testing. Heat's post-game single-player sounds way less restrictive than Unbound's. Still nowhere as free as Underground2's quickrace or Hot Wheel's Unleashed, just to name another more recent racer. And as I've demonstrated above, this can be implemented without breaking progression. But big companies are stoooopid as usual.

For me nfs heat walks away in style compared to unbound. The only thing i dont like about heat is the lack of cars. I have played nfs unbound for 2 - 3 weeks without a break and during those weeks i was so bored and disgusted by the cartoon effects. And the cops and nfs heat remind me of my all time favorite nfs game "rivals" cops in both heat and rivals are a serious challenge while in unbound you could be going 10 mph and they instantly die. Also i know the clipping and other glitches in heat are annoying but if you can get over those and not be annoyed then heat is a great game. For me heat wins.

I remember once my friend and I were playing an online lobby of nfs heat, and no matter your heat level or how much you crash into cops, they would not chase. We were heat 5 and constantly hitting other cops in races, but no chases would start. That was the best glitch ever.

Current Steam review scores: NFS Heat = 84% of 88,441 are positive (Very Positive) NFS Unbound = 62% of 24,510 are positive (Mixed)

NFS: Heat (2019)!!! Game is nearly 4 years old and still goes hard

I gave up on heat and went back to payback due to rank racing multiplayer. Also the drift in heat was really pointless to me. If you could drift with others it be better. Unbound has a different driving style which is good to learn. In terms of graphics it could of been much better for unbound. I agree heat story was best. I’m sticking with unbound at the moment. I hope some goodies come in volume 3 😊

I honestly do not understand how people can say that Heat is better overall.

Great info ! Mine would be HEAT 5 / Unbound 5 based off your data provided. Removing 2 points from Unbound for Art Style and for Multiplayer as I never played Multiplayer and dont care for it.

It really shows how little of an upgrade Unbound was if it's still being considered in comparison to the last game.

For me both are masterpieces and special But heat to me gets better spot in my heart because it made NFS comeback from payback that was shit to an instant masterpiece in 2 years time

Nfs 2015 was the last good one🥲def needed a couple changes and add ons but best one by far 😭

I like heat more because of the handling. Unbound kind of forces you to buy a car you have no intentions of buying due to the drive train being a new feature. They also strip the top speed from mostly all the cars. I also like the cops in heat because they literally come after you and don’t half step it in unbound. Map wise, I like unbound because of the highway. If this was in heat, it would be great.

I like both games... Heat was when I decided to seriously pick up a NFS game again since ProStreet. Now, I will admit that I love Unbound. I prefer it of the two... however, it seems like a good chunk of the cars available are literally just convertible/cabriolet versions of the "base car" or are a performance/special edition of it. Like, how many Mercedes C63 AMGs or even Mercedes AMG GTs do we need?

Unbound is a amazing game, so is heat, but the main problem for me is the way it runs, especially on my rig with an RTX3070ti, i7-13700k, DDR4 32 GB RAM

To be honest, I really prefer unbound compared to heat not only it’s way more optimize than heat when you played on the PC but there’s just features in there that it just makes it better than heat so I do think unbound is better than heat

i got unbound yesterday have 8 hours played and it has been the most stressful experience for me i can't select races i want due to car limitations i cant decide if i want to race only at night or only at day im forced to alternate the drifting feels bad (this is a big point because i mostly play drift challenges in nfs games) the graphics are pretty cool honestly took me a minute to appreciate them also the grind for money is boring (maybe because nfs heat had higher prizes/prices it seemed better but winning a race and getting 6k feels bad especially since that barely buys 2 parts and then i have to buy into races too :( ... i really really want to enjoy unbound but there's so many little things that make the game frustrating and feel like a chore other than an enjoyable racing experience or rather a fun police chase simulator XD

Super subjective but I felt the city in Heat was just so much nicer. Like not just the Miami-esque skyline but also that cool sky bridge highway, the docks, etc. Wherever you go is really cool whereas in Unbound the whole thing is "boring non descript city" followed by "boring non descript suburb" followed by "boring non descript rural". The graphics are nice but they are just so forgettable.

I like unbound more, as i find the driving better in it. Along with the car stage system(b-s+). However i wish the story and multiplayer were linked, however i feel as though because it’s separate people join more races, so it balances out for me. I also wish the drifting was better. I wish the game had a more arcade drifting like carx. I also wish i had more events like nfs payback.

Sense of speed looks great in both but I feel like the effects in unbound bring it alive more

was just in a race with you n ur cars are op asf ggs 😂😂

Nfs heat was fun because you could race and grind at your own pace i didn't really mind the night and day feature since one is more risky with aggressive cops while the other was sort of friendly race, but with unbound i feel like it's more about spending time racing until you max out your car than actually racing and have a sense of risk to it,

I have still more fun from enjoying Heat than Unbound, is much more playable in nice " family climate " :) Regards

I think we need to review this when unbound has reached the end of its cycle then compare as its somewhat unfair to compare a game thats has seen myltiple updates compared to one that has only recently been out, maybe a comparison on how both games started during their first couple months would be a good assessment. However the time and effort you have put into this video is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for this amazing video you saved me a lot of time❤

Hey Militia , I feel you final point when it came to the car list should probably have gone to Heat. Due to the fact the Unbound's car list is nearly identical to Heat's. Look, I got no problems when some of the car get transferred over from one game to the next. But I feel that they could have choped and changed the list a bit. Maybe take out some of the cars that are used too much , unless they are fan faves. I feel that EA should do a little more research for their car lists. Not ranting just lifting my opinion. But either way Unbound isn't too shabby, amd Heat would have been my choice.

I think this point system was a really interesting idea for deciding which game is better, but for me I just like unbound better for two simple reasons: the unique art style and the innovative burst nos system

i *still* cannot bring myself to buy Unbound even while it is on sale or try a copy from a mate some of the more important parts of both games make Unbound unenjoyable to watch

I feel price is also a big enough factor to sadly be considered. I think thats a factor too. More cars doesnt mean better especially with pretty much the same MFGs. I do wish, I could take the cell graphics and race accept rate from unbound, I like the xtra flair while driving that you see in unbound, but I also like the ability to control day n night and better police chases. Great vid! You did great comparing them and I like your comparrison. But the price of unbound I do feel is a factor. Spending 70.00 on games today is scary, especially games made by EA, Ubisoft, WB, and ActiBlizsion. The moment Unbound drops under 25.00 its a must buy, still cant say ill enjoy it more than Heat. Also, say I did spend the 70.00 and I liked Heat more still? Thats would feel bad lol

Opinion about UI UX ?? for me even not playing Unbound yet, i chose it because when selecting part, you can see images, not slide like Heat, so we can see the visual and choose quickly

Heat reinvigorated my love for cars and racing games. It has so much going for it, and its a big "What if" game, if Ghost wasn't axed...how much better the game would've been. All that said, Unbound I consider the better game. Gameplay, Artistic choice, racing, online, and post support from devs....I can say its only going to get better, hopefully

I love Heat map, because it's inspired from miami. Feels like you playing 2 fast 2 furious game^^

im new to nfs i just bought nsf unboard so i have no idea witch one is better, witch nfs game do you all play more and witch one do you watch more on youtube?

I think this will be a helpful tool for those that are on the fence about either game, well done Trigger!

Give that ultimately "best" is entirely subjective, I think you did a fantastic job of being as objective as possible. Nice 👍

I much prefer Heat due to the way Unbound included the weekly style structure, the buy-in to races and the heat increases after races. I just want to customize and race my cars man..

Do u guys have a tips for increasing fps and reduced lag in nfs heat? First time launching it and it only give like 10-16 fps even tho i got the recommendation spec requirements

I like unbound but I don’t like having to grind online to get cars when it’s available in story mode. Also the racers in unbound gives me a race for my money which I enjoy

Really comes down to what Need for Speed game you played before Unbound. I played a lot of Payback and really enjoyed it and when i started playing Heat i couldn't get hooked, didn't like the drift mechanic changes and was not a fan of the environment...
