Need for Speed Payback Review – Asleep at the Wheel | TechRaptor

Need for Speed Payback is a grind to play both figuratively and literally. Even if you like the arcade racing on offer, it's not worth slogging through the amateur presentation, repetitive missions and microtransaction hooks.

I wonder if this is a hit piece...literally...or the consensus. First review I saw.

First Battlefront 2 get 4. And now NFS get 3.5. Lmao. You get what you deserve, EA. If you go bankrupt by tomorrow I doubt anyone would care.

chris2352763d ago

another kid that dislikes lootcrates and therefore subtracts the usual 50%. other titles that are way more boring like the annual nazi shooter or the umpteenth mario kart get the usual high grades for no other reason than fanboyism. now we need to endure peeps who are downgrading games because they got a microtransactions model. sheesh. get a life, bloggers.

Prince_TFK2763d ago (Edited 2763d ago )

Reading your comment just made throw up in my mouth abit. It is people like you who make gaming become what it is nowadays.

You people rather pay $60 for a game full of lootboxes and MTs rather than a complete experience with everything unlocked from the start with no MTs, season pass, and lootbox like Mario Kart.

But hey, you are the biggest troll here on this site, so think what you want to think.

InTheZoneAC2763d ago

Overwatch has loot boxes, yet their entire model is perfect. Stop defending ea for lousy practices and bs blanket statements for those opposed to it, troll

annoyedgamer2763d ago

How many employees does EA put into their troll department and what is your salary? I could use some extra cash.

Can’t be upset with this one.

Terry_B1711d ago

Some people are always upset..no matter what they get

Retroman1710d ago

N4S payback was Craptastic to it's fullest.........just as Heat is.

sushimama1711d ago

Excellent. Never played Vampyr

FanboySpotter1711d ago

You go by metacritic so you're not gonna enjoy that game unfortunately.

CobraKai1711d ago

That’s why you don’t go by metacritic.

Final_Aeon1711d ago

It goes both ways - it could be a warning against trying a subpar game. Or, like in quite a few cases media outlets docked it too many points for small imperfections. I'm also looking forward to playing Vampyr.

Hakuoro1711d ago (Edited 1711d ago )

That's funny because I remember people talking it up when it was one of the games on game pass.

I guess what console it's on decides if it's fun or not.

sushimama1711d ago

It's above 70%.... worth a try

sushimama1711d ago

On second thought, to be honest, maybe I won't try it out. Not the greatest month this month.

Gaming4Life19811711d ago

😭damn that had to be a slap in the for sushimama after their post on the xbox article.

Vampyr was on my radar and then i played on gamepass and it wasnt good to me but lots of people like it and its free so everyone should at least try it.

I thoroughly enjoyed Vampyr. But, lots of people have specific things they're critical of and it's not perfect at anything. So, who knows.

I like that I can try a NFS game w/o paying more than I already do per month for it. I doubt I'll like it, but, at least it's there to try.

Gaming4Life19811711d ago (Edited 1711d ago )

NFS payback sucks but hey its free so give it a try you might like .

Yea i thought vampyr was pretty bad and i love vampires but i just could not find anything good about it. We need a new legacy of kain and soul reaver.

Kurt Russell1710d ago

It's not a great one, I played a fair bit of it myself... It's playable is all I can really say.

Relientk771711d ago

I absolutely loved Vampyr. It's an underrated gem. The combat can be kind of clunky, but the story, characters, setting, abilities, and everything else is great.

RazzerRedux1711d ago

Was a very good game. Just needed more a-hole NPCs that I didn't mind killing to level up.

Spenok1711d ago

That's the point though! They can't make it too easy to kill just anyone (unless you're just a self absorbed a-hole yourself).

RazzerRedux1710d ago (Edited 1710d ago )

"They can't make it too easy to kill just anyone"

And that isn't what I said. Come back after you actually played the game and then talk about it.

Spenok1711d ago

I've been wanting to play this since it launched. Never got around to it though. So this is a really nice treat.

TheColbertinator1711d ago

Payback was awful. Worst NFS game this gen.

LiViNgLeGaCY1711d ago

Many people say the exact opposite.
