I agree. This style of handling is common in newer NFS games and probably what I miss the most from the older games. I particularly dislike the grip-vs-drift upgrades, especially since drift is mostly “press X to drift”.
That being said, I did find some cars fun to drive in once they’re tuned a little, and I liked that different cars could have significantly different feel, which unfortunately can’t be said about all NFS games, especially the newer ones.
I recommend Borgmatic, a declarative way to set up borg backups. I find it much nicer than a having a
backup.sh
script and the configuration is really straight-forward.
