Need for Speed Payback marks the return of EA’s racing series and despite there being a passable game hidden somewhere in this offering, it is smothered by corporate decisions and the general expectations of their shareholders. A lot of the problems that the game has are issues that are swamping the AAA game industry.
After nearly three decades of NFS games, here's a list of the best Need For Speed titles that have ever been released in the past years, ranked by The Nerd Stash.
Best NFS in my personal opinion
Highstakes, Hotpursuit 2 and Underground, Mostwanted, The Run.
Rest of those titles are Junk,Crap, disappointing.
The white-knuckle racer and supernatural horror adventure join the lineup October 6.
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.
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.
On second thought, to be honest, maybe I won't try it out. Not the greatest month this month.
😭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.
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.
It's not a great one, I played a fair bit of it myself... It's playable is all I can really say.
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.
Was a very good game. Just needed more a-hole NPCs that I didn't mind killing to level up.
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).
"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.
I've been wanting to play this since it launched. Never got around to it though. So this is a really nice treat.
