Payback problem was that everyone wanted a storyline based on the fast and furious movies, we just forgot to specify to them that it was the first 3 movies and not the 3 last movies
I actually kind of enjoyed the game, the story was over the top, and super cheesy, but i felt like it was kind of a charm of the story. The handling was fine apart from offroad races, i wouldn't say it is one of the worst games, it's flawed, but i think it was fine
@@desperatetogetsomehoes I completely agree, racing games nowadays have this weird thing where everyone is your friend and we all cool, only need for speed games keep trying to avoid this trend to some extend, only bad thing for me was the slot machine gameplay for parts, other than that, all good
@Cez I may be the only one who thinks this, but I like the family friendly vibe of modern racing games.
I prefer upbeat and optimistic games.
@@desperatetogetsomehoes it's mehh
@@rodriguezracer4567 The Family vibe is a cool touch, but it's kinda too much, like I said before, everyone is your friend or is just cool that you are there beating everyone, a bit of antagonism could work well in addition to that, kinda on how Unbound worked but more fleshed out, the last 3 nfs games have this problem, they kinda end a bit too abruptly, payback is left on a cliffhanger, heat kinda just ends and unbound leaves too many loose ties, it's not like on most wanted where everything build up on the last race and then the game put you against the wall in a final pursuit where the objective is just survive until mia clears the blocked road, and when you escape, even though with some questions left your biggest feeling after that pursuit is just "holy shit it's over and I survived that" and you feel satisfied and not questioning in a "wait... that's it?" moment
If you try to please everyone, you will end up pleasing no one. Your rant on the wide audiance appeal is so right. Another banger video. Thank you for the hard work!
so true
I think the funniest thing about when I played this for the first time, I played it right when they were introducing the abandoned cars that you would find in free roam. They’re like the bait crates you find in the world as random police chases. Get the car, escape the police and you keep the car.
First car I got was an RX7 and I used that as my main race car and upgraded it to the max rating. I was out running supercars with a ‘90s tuner car and ended up beating the game with it. I don’t really hate this one like most people. Had my fun with it but see its issues.
I liked the game only because of the progression. The progression of beating bosses one by one by racing their crews first, added with a considerable increase on difficulty by each chapter just make the final race feels super worth it, knowing how much you've done just to reach that level. Though the story were a bit ridiculous, and the offroad events feels unnecessary, it's a great game, just not worthy to have a "need for speed" as a title.
@@alieffauzanrizky7202 how did you get the rx7?
@@marmedalmond9958 on the gas station somewhere on the top left of the map. It appear randomly so might wanna check it out the later day when it's no there today
@@alieffauzanrizky7202 I don't think those cars are available anymore. It used to be every month would have a different car somewhere on the map but after a few years this ended and you can't get those cars anymore. So if you missed the RX-7 or the most wanted BMW etc. you can't ever get them now.
@@nathanmartin5049 Nah. I very recently replay the game a few weeks ago and the rx7 is still there. That's why i commented
Payback is probably better than the actual fast and furious game.
Also agreed, realism doesn't need to be everywhere.
GT purists would say otherwise.
I agree. 5%-15% of realism is OK. Not 75%.
One thing Payback does very well is the special missions. Being able to switch between multiple cars, and having action movie like scenes is really cool!
Can't wait for NFS The Run review ! Starring Jesse Pinkman !
I think Ghost Games really had an uphill battle when it came to taking over from Black Box. They stumbled with 2015 (I hate the fact that it was - and still is - always online and there were some technical issues at launch) and they crashed and burned with Payback, but they got back up and redeemed themselves with Heat. I think, had EA not taken them out back to join Black Box, Visceral Games and Pandemic Studios, they really could have done something great. I am happy with Criterion at the helm but honestly EA needs to stop handing NFS over from developer to developer and let them work their magic instead of what they have done with the IP since the early 2010s.
but ghost didnt take over from blackbox, they took over from criterion in 2013
@@CertifiedWTRPerson yea they hired to find a new game formula for nfs series, hence why after heat they got sacked
@@zardians_of_galaxy the reason they got sacked in 2020 was because of most wanted fanboys complaining and because they went Quality over Money and EA is EA
@@CertifiedWTRPerson they actually being praised by the community after releasing heat, but as you said EA being EA
@@zardians_of_galaxy heat is a great game and shows that ghost is the series hero, but EA wanted some coins
I never knew there was SO many NFS games lmao
oh there's A LOT, and I'm only getting to the bad ones for now LOL
@@BlooTegunbound wasn't made by ghost games. It was made by criterion. Ghost went defunct back in 2020.
They only released them yearly since the mid-90's 😅😅😅
Yeah, 2015 is a lot of nfs. I used to like the 2014th but it feels dated now /s
Oh, THIS game. I said this in the past but I didn’t think this game was THAT bad. I could have fun with it despite the atrocious upgrade system.
Said upgrade system is a deal breaker for me. That one thing just ruins the game completely for me.
If it weren't for the UNITE mod getting rid of it, I'd probably swear off Payback forever
Theory : The Arkwright Files said "The collector is a slave, the house is just a pawn." And that means the high speed task force in nfs Heat is owned by the collector... "The collector is a Slave." The collector has a boss, which is most likely someone like Kobashi or Another Mysterious Figure... Hopefully we find out more in other nfs games...
@@Yattu_Byeah
Too bad ea killed ghost
I really like the 3 games cuz they were connected to each other and I really like the lore more than the mcu
And the new NFS games have the worst car handling
NFS II SE from 1997 would like a word with ya
i bet every dollar i got u would not complain about tha newer NFS games handling once u've experience NFS II SE
@@blakedmc1989RaveHD >undercover
@@dalelumina3 sorry Undercover was more playable than NFS II SE from 1997, trust me i've played both, NFS II SE is still worse on tha physics and handling than even Undercover lol
@@blakedmc1989RaveHD nah, maybe worse than Payback, and the future rest, but 2015 is worse than all of them.
@@franklinclinton2560 i've played NFS 2015, still not worse than NFS II SE! heck even Undercover's Handling/Physics is still tolerable than NFS II SE! i smell someone who never played a NFS game before Underground 🤣i stand by my NFS II SE claims because i've lived through it my young padawan
Another thing I really disliked about payback was that there was not a single character in that game I actually liked. The closest was Jess being somewhat tolerable
Tyler's cool too, what you on about ? theres some likeable characters in this story
@@prostreetfairladyz8402 Heeeeeell naw. Tyler I disliked the most bro.
@@ethanthompson7741 what he do to you ? the man fought for whats right in the story :v
That why I wait stick on OG era of NFS (94-02 with expection of 10's Hot Pursuit)
Nice pfp. It's no isdera commendatore, but it's still such a cool looking car
OG era for life, well tha exception of NFS II SE havin' tha worst handling and physics in NFS history, yes even worse than Payback's Handling/Physics lol
This game had a good story, but what ruined it for me was the off-road races (the handling model for dirt :/). I could barely drive, Id have to switch to easy to even have a chance at winning. Other than that the drifting is fun, and I guess I the drag racing?
Personally i believe nfs heat was better in every single way other than the drifting, offroading i agree was a pain.
@@user-xk3tu1wl7s da story is better
@@rachidmaktar9566 it depends, nfs payback's story was the only thing it had going for it and nothing else, while there are only four missions that stand out. Heat on the other hand was simpler, but better, more focused on cars than the hollywood action payback went for, amd it worked more as an introduction to the game.
@@user-xk3tu1wl7s roger
Dude that’s exactly why I haven’t beaten the game yet. The dirt racing is atrocious.
Dude Payback being called NFS Casino Edition is literally spot on
Also like you said: Fortune Valley is based on Las Vegas (which we know as the land of casinos)
It's a good day when Bluetag uploads
today was a good day
I still think we should have a Pro Street 2. More Street Tracks like Touge and highways, more tuning like combining NFS Shift and Underground 2. Would be a banger as long as the handling is better.
YES!
Agreed!
Pro Street is easily my top 2 fav nfs
I would love to see a sequel to prostreet, prostreet is my favorite nfs game for being different. But the problem is it would not see well.
The thing is, people would complain about the lack of cops…so nah, they won’t do that sadly.
Pro Street is like top 3 racing games of all time when it comes down to atmosphere and aesthetics. They absolutely nailed everything they where going for. Too bad the supposed bosses are absolute trash, like the game manages to invest you in this race for status and reputation even without a real story, and once you get to the top you find the most dumbed down AI in the history of mankind, driving badly tuned cars. They should really make a sequel, polish it way more and do something innovative and unique, like allowing to freely explore race days facilities in VR
when Bluetag is talking about the "worst", you know it's gonna be a good video
This is the game where the nfs soundtrack completely gave up
If realism was what made games good or fun, Most Wanted wouldn't be the behemoth it is. Hell, let's put absolute realism to the game and have traffic so dense that you cannot speed over 40mph when you are in city perimeters. I bet that would make us racing game fans happy.
And the fact is that UG1 and UG2 also took place at night only, which was their identity. Wasn't NFS'15 a reboot of UG anyways? Didn't the fans demand something like UG and MW? When they get it, they just complain about something else again. The NFS fanbase is very much not self-aware.
Carbon also took place at night.
The problem is not the realism, is the handling, it handles like asphalt 8 on mobile, if just the cars had a semi realistic and/or pleasant handling the fans would be happy. But as I said when I pick up nfs I hate how the cars handle is just atrocious and I feel dumb drifting everywhere. In old mw and underground we didn't know any better about realism but still the handling was very satisfying and fun, not anymore tho, now it feels inconsistent.
Also the story... Newer nfs stories are not just written by 12yo's, they are also cringe and dull... Fans know what they want but they can't word it, is not their job either though, an old billionaire company should know how to do their work, just remaster the damn old mw and underground and there you go free money rainning on EA but you know why they don't? Because that would show how sh1tty newer nfs are compared to the older ones, and EA wants to keep selling trash😂
Midnight Club LA had realistic super dense traffic and it was still fun and very fast paced
@@ashleycornett6812 only at parts, I'm guessing? Clips I have seen arent promising.
one of my biggest gripes about this game is the respawns. you respawn when you dont need to be respawned and lose time, or you dont get respawned when you need to be respawned and just better off restarting the race
true, forgot to mention that!
This was literally not a bad NFS game. The only thing I didn’t like was the offroading and speed cards. Payback literally has the best drift physics in the whole franchise.
Exactly. Got a kick out of the multiplayer, but only found cheaters after long enough
Yea I agree
Yes drifting was actually fun as hell in this game.
No bap . Drifting is a chef kiss on this game
Speed cards are the only thing keeping me away from getting this game again.
I loved payback, my only big problem with it was how driving long distances kinda felt like a chore. In heat, if I need to get from one side of the map to another, I’ll gladly drive there, but in payback, I usually just fast travel
I think the handling plays a big part in that. Especially driving to off-road events or challenging the roaming off-road racers.
Honestly though, Fortune Valley, IMO, is one of the best open world maps ever put in an NFS game.
Idk about you guys but I loved the fact that they put roaming racers in the game. It makes it feel less empty and it’s a fun little thing to do when your bored. It’s nothing crazy but it’s enough to give you something to do for fun
This is one aspect that’s overlooked.
I think it’s an overall improvement from Underground 2’s Outrun system in Free Roam. The Outruns were really fun and the varying landscape of Fortune Valley makes for very interesting races.
Except the upgrade system (which was fixed in united mod) payback is one of my favorites. The story was great, the missions were creative, soundtrack SLAPED and, graphics were ok and tuning was fine. Also handling model was much better than 2015. Also there were some things to do after story. I still miss the car hijacking missions.
I really hated the spin the wheel and get an upgrade you want or you don't want. I uninstalled this game as soon as I came to know of that and the sad part after this I never played any need for speed after this one 😅
u cant even buy maxxed out parts, u have to literally work on a car
@@RealMakarov not to mention the fact that sometimes if you have an offroad car and you get an upgrade that is more suited to a drift or race type car that upgrade is wasted 🤣
@@muhammadwahaj11 there re so many combinations which are extremely hard to match and have little to no tuning potential
Heat was good. Really good
dang you missed out on nfs heat when it was really fun to play and before the cops got nerfed to the ground :(
The collector acctually appears in heat...like not phisically. He is the one who gives you the DB11 at LVL10 and the P1 at 20. He only speaks to you at the cell phone. That was a nice eastter egg. There are a lot in payback too.
Bro I tell you
If EA was smart they would revive Ghost and Blackbox
And combine Ghost BlackBox and Criterion
Just imagine
Ghost with their amazing graphics
BlackBox with the execution
And Criterion with the ideas
Bam perfect studio
4:38 unbound isn't a ghost game, it's back to Criterion !
I remember a 16/17 year old me being incredibly hyped for this game to release. Pre-ordered the deluxe edition even. I was a tadbit sad however when the game finally came out and didn't completely live up to expectations. Don't get me wrong, I still played the shit out of it and really enjoyed myself while I was at it but I just couldn't ignore that this game was pretty lacking in delivering what most fans wanted and I could never really shake the disappointment of paying €80,- for this game with it being like it is. When I'll build a new rig I'm absolutely going to revisit this though. Had a lot of fun playing this and even more in the photo mode!
i had so much expactations for this game and they just trowed a slot machine to upgrade my car
I played the game several years ago, and I somehow quit about 4hrs in, don't remember why.
The highlight of this games existence was that video where Blackpantha pushed Jake Paul off a cliff
only songs i liked during my short time with this game were:
City Rejects-Ho99o9
Trap and a Dream-A$AP Ferg
n only cuz i played those the most and i already knew the songs
I remember briefly playing a bit of this when it was free in PSPlus a few years ago and it definitely was a game, one with driving even. I crashed into a truck at full speed and it didn't react to it until almost a full second later. That is the only thing of note I have to say about that game
it's funny cause payback is my favorite of the new need for speed games, and everyone despises it xD
Don’t let this distract you from the fact that Bluetag’s TV screen is perpetually moving
Need for Speed Payback is to this day the best Videogame in the Fast and Furious Series.
I’d love to see him review the Tokyo xtreme racer/Tokyo xtreme racer drift series
With every video you make I'm more happy that a friend introduced me to your channel.
I'm glad to hear that!
9:24 that is also a problem I have with nfs rivals where whenever you touch a rock or skim a wall the game will pause for 30 seconds and show you slow motion footage of your car crashing, and I just have to sit there like “can we get back to the race or not?” Like, this isn’t burnout just let me continue getting chased by the cops!
On the next NFS game, we'll get a post credit cutscene with razor holding a BMW key and saying "Fine, I'll do it myself.."
I love your videos dude, great sense of humour!
Ea is like
YES YES SPIN THE WHEEL GET ADDICTED **evil laughter**
NFS Payback was a failed attempt to recreate the Forza Horizon vibes.
How? Like I'm genuinely curious of what from the game made you feel that way
@@joeymations9821I played a bit of it too and it was just a boring racing title. A lost of racing games in that time period tried replicating horizon but never was able to deliver like horizon did.
Need for Gambling: Payback Casino Debt. Another good game idea that was ruined by corpo greed
It sucks that ea will never put money down to completely replace the handling for need for speed. The brake to drift handling originated from Hot Pursuit 2010 and now here we are, still jank asf.
Almost 20K keep it up bro! You're nailing it
thank you!
The fact that this is the last NFS game that had Rock music in their soundtrack.
Well, "Country Rock" for a game set in a deserted place was something expected lol.
You make a good point with the handling, It honestly baffles me how every ghost era need for speed gets it wrong, NOONE likes the drift or die system, I ended up quitting playing heat 4 hours in because of how annoying the drifting got.
Skill issue? I can drift just fine lol
Skill issue
Try drifting in 2015 without the proper upgrades
That invisible wall at 11:50 physically hurt me
great level design
This reminds me of what happened to me recently. Context: I have never play any Forza game, ever.
I was visiting a friend’s house, and he booted up FH5 (we’re both car guys). He was playing it for awhile, and I noticed that the game has a lot of NPC chatter. Like, a LOT. It’s goes from your NPC friends talking to you about the festival, to the radio stations talking about the festival, to “I-just-don’t-know-who-anymore” talking about, you guessed it, the festival.
I was like, “is it just me or this game has a LOT of talking for a racing game?”, and my friend just laughed at me and said it felt fine for him. Idk, man, that certainly kills most of my hype for that game. I ended up not buying it, it’s just not my type of game.
I bought Grid Legends instead, because sim racing (lmao, ok, I know what you’re thinking, but I was going to get GT7 later, until GT7 came out and it was an online game and that blew off my hype for it as well).
if there was no card system it's a solid game.
The card system hurts it A LOT imo.
Payback has a bug in one of the missions that makes the game literally unbeatable, and it still hasn’t been fixed.
There's only one thing I think you should have mentioned...this game is not for us
Gamers or people who cares about
It's for the NEW GENERATION who plays fortnite and FIFA, eats every year release like water. These people pays for it, likes it, wants to buy cards and stuff to differentiate themselves from others
They will continue to push these kind of games, because people buy it, people buy the loot boxes
NFS payback feel like they're trying to replica NFS The Run with over the top action scene but location is meh, unlike the Run where location change as you progress through the game Payback location is just Sand and city
Man, acho legal que um br ta conseguindo entrar na comunidade dos gringos kakakak, tmj ótimo video
Quando descobri que ele era Br eu fiquei em choque
Sério que é BR? kkkkkkk que dahora
7:14 - it would be fun to make a character, something like in forza and assign yourself to event type and the other two would be filled by those characters, so if you choose that your character wants to race then Miller stays as Getaway driver and Mac is drift/rally expert. If you choose to be a drift expert then the Tyler will stay as racing expert and miller still would be a getaway driver. Basically - swap your character with one of those guys and the other stays.
Good quality man, keep up what you do
thank you!

Hey, in the part of the offroad with the yellow Porsche Panamera, you put a spoiler above a retractable spoiler. You're Crazy?
hell yeah.
Payback is the last nfs game I expected to admire in some aspects. From the continuous day and night cycle, free roaming racers you could challenge like in 2015, the twisty canyons and mountain roads in a big desert, replayable missions, and a pretty okay soundtrack! I'm glad you continue to speak your mind without letting triggered clowns bully you for having an opinion. Keep doing your thing Bluetag!
thank you so much!
The desert "country rock" sound you were reffering to is called stoner rock
Se não fosse por essas micro transações que enfiaram sem dó e piedade, esse jogo para mim seria um nota 6.
Favorite channel recently. Keep up the good work Blue 👍🏻
holy moly thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
If it haven't got so much microtransactions it could be even best racing game of 2017
you are the most underrated content creator ever peroid, your content is so entertaining and catchy ash, if i watch one, im supposed to watch 20 more, keep up the amazing work. ❤
thank you so much! that's really kind of you
I agree on the slow down thing when you take out cops, my fav nfs game is rivals cause of how chaotic it is, but there the cops are like tanks so your gameplay isn’t stopped every 2 second, but on newer games its really annoying cause even if they crash buy the selves it slows and turn the camera to them
A good diversion from this would be to look at a *good* NFS game for a change
That being Hot Pursuit (2010)
Let's be honest, it's one of the last truly great NFS entries and for some reason people tend to overlook it
Not as much as ProStreet, but still
It’s genuinely one of my favorites, definitely up in my top 5. One thing that I will never forgive is that card system, than can go straight into the trash. It nailed a lot of things and I never regretted picking it up for $12.
Even though they bumped up getting these cards without spending a dollar, it is still a drag that they exist.
Loved the MICHULL instrumental in the back!
The video name kinda stunned me for a second, since at first I thought EA had actually made a physical slot machine for casinos only and not another digital casino disguised as another game.
Kinda made me think of that Cash Bandiloot slot machine in british pubs. Happy to see another one of your videos, keep up the good work.
(Forced realism in games makes me go scream internally and makes my PC scream like in opera hall)
LOL thank you!
Kerela in the background….nice touch
i don't think it was that bad in my opinion, the graphics were good, the storyline was a good, for me the parts that rlly pissed me off were the gambling system for performance parts and how the police system worked. but all in all for me, it was a rlly fun game to play.
the main problem was the casino machine for cars upgrades, the rest of the game was ok (if compared to the '10s need for speeds) and the progression system was quite challenging to invite you to race again and again. some problems (like the cutscenes of exploding cops or the fact that you must drift to take every corner unless they are large) came from Rivals (i found it cool anyway). i don't understand how is it possible that NOONE is not able to recreate something really good like it was Driver San Francisco, it has a perfect driving system for the genre and also the story was good
men, your videos are amazing! THANK YOU!
This game had a good variety of events and funnily enough, the best story in the franchise. But man did they mess everything else up hard. Unbound still doesn't have drag racing, so in a way, this game has more content than unbound.
The worst part if you play the NFS games on PC, even the ones that you can play offline uses Denuvo and a third-party launcher.
9:42 well there's a setting for turning it off and on, in my opinion it's kinda cool they have that feature
Man i was so disappointed when Tyler's house got blown up in the cutscene without him in it
IIRC The Crew did a slightly similar chance based upgrade system, but it did seem to bias on giving you actual upgrades, and didn't leave ya staring for hours at a slot machine. I thiiink it was worse in the sequel, but I didn't buy it.
Babe wake up new Blue Tag video just dropped
You must try need for speed rival very underrated game
I did enjoy Payback with some mods to bypass the infinite grinding that is the car upgrade system. Very good OST, good handling compared to the more recent titles, night and day cicle, you can actually ram into cops and have some good fun without just breaking your car in just two hits, cinematic shots when you have successfully taken down a cop car, better map out of the three last titles... some of this are just purely subjective, I get it, but I had some good fun with Payback, much more than I did with Heat for example
I really liked the game but I did play it casually but I can definitely tell from the upgrade system that I found it extremely difficult to get full potential out of my car of choice because of it but when I did it felt really nice.
I enjoyed the game on ps4, prob have like 20 hours but the thing i hate is online because theres nothing to do, when you join a multiplayer lobby you can just cruise around and do your impromptu races with other people, which almost always happens on the airfield.
What I hated about this game, to quote Mac on this:"Just press the drift button" it felt like I was driving on rails. That and the roulette tuning. The rest was OK at least and the ambience was just right.
This game felt more like a movie
Your video production quality increased exponentially - happily following your journey ~!
thank you! I appreciate that
small nitpicks: the cutscenes when during jess' missions can be skipped and the cinematics when you wreak a cop can be turned off in the options, along with muting the characters during races.
Beyond that, I agree with everything said in the video. Also wish to mention that I got this game after a friend convinced me to try it out; came to love almost everything, especially the offroading much to my surprise. And low and behold, by the time I shelved the game, I found that I actually platinum'd the game to completion.
Oh yeah, I just thought it was really weird for the cutscenes to break the flow of the game haha
but yes, people let me know about the cinematics, didn't know that!
still, if you like this one, that's alright! a lot of people seem to misunderstand that these are just my views on the games and you shouldn't "stop" liking it if you do, that would be ridiculous
@@BlooTeg I still come back to the game from time to time to cruise during the night time cause the game just *Hits* different when "Gravedigger" by P.O.S. or "Lean Back" by SUR starts playing(Which by the way, the OST is tied to the time of day it is in game, making the OST not wear its welcome too quickly).
Cause you are 100% correct to say that the vibes of the game are Immaculate.
a lot of these games i never have any interesdt in, but you talking about them is awlays a fun experience!
Man I remember I used to get home on a Friday, fire up the Xbox One then launching this game in my red R8 and drive around listening to P.O.V Gravedigger while smelling taco that was made in the kitchen, this game is beyond perfection in my opinion, even though it is a copy paste of 2015
Same people are just hating cause they either had a skill issue or mostly where the map took place but besides that I like the game alot I've beaten it 2 to 3 times already
Oml I forget all about grave digger! Thanks for reminding me to look up the soundtrack for this game it’s been a mintue!
@@GoatSped listening to it is just perfection
@@chainghost266 why complain about the map? It is so good for a racing game, a desert to a canyon to a forest and ending off in the city
Joguei a primeira vez e gostei na segunda amei. A maior falha desse jogo é o sistema de upgrades e a física inconstante. Às vezes você faz uma curva do mesmo jeito duas vezes e o resultado pode ser fazer ela perfeitamente ou bater sem motivo algum. Mas definitivamente um dos seus melhores vídeos e um dos NFS favoritos
It's not that bad. I'm playing it right now. You can buy garages which is unique for a NFS game...
If there is one thing this game got right, is the soundtrack almost every song fits well and its nice.
You need to make a review on NFS Prostreet. I see that people nowadays are into that Rough shitbox style that were stuck together with ductapes, zipties, leak hoses and a broken dream of owning a devalued $10000 R34 GT-R that crashes at Nevada Highway.
I can find online speedlist races still and I play this game a lot. It is what it is tho. Great video 👍🏽
Finally a reviewer that shares my opinion, this game is terrible in every way apart from the graphics, which are decent enough.
I agree with most of your points. But still, the variety is cool imo, having drag speedcross, drift, etc. The handling could fit all of the classes, except for rally, where it was way too twitchy and unpredictable. And now you can bring the tune shop to an acceptable level with a mod, where you can buy every part for credits. Other than that, the progression feels amazing, it changes up classes, so I never get bored. Summer Sale is near, last time all the NFSs were a few euros, I highly recommend all of them in a bundle or sth.
(I wasted 20eur on Unbound, biggest regret of my life.)
6:40 some people will disagree with me on this and that’s okay, but I actually like Tyler, jess and mac for how compelling, relatable and enthralling they base off their characters archs. Experiencing the main narrative through each of their perspectives during their missions is what makes the game very immersive. I love listening to their dialogue during free-roam when I’m driving through silver rock, liberty desert or even mount providence while music is playing in the background. These guys have very unique and interesting personalities in a way I can relate to each and every one of them.
100% agreed!! The story and the characters made the whole game way more immersive and compelling for me!
Imo both characters are good
I did not like Tyler he was pretty annoying
I found all three of them annoying.
I agree. I actually enjoyed the story.
This feels like a ChatGPT post lol, in what way are these cardboard cutouts "relatable" or "enthralling"?
Honestly if I have the opportunity to play this game I'll play it for the customisations and free roam but I'll not play it for the story because I don't really care about it and honestly this is a racing game why the story has to be so over the top like seriously Is making a story like fast and furious a good thing ?
