Buy Need for Speed Payback from And fun is what this game should be about. One of the things I like about Payback is that it knows what Need for Speed is. You can throw cars around, smash them into barriers, slide the back end out in a satisfying fashion, and use nitrous blasts to right your course or steam past the competition to grab need for speed payback stillgelegtes auto heute across the line. This is a cheap, easy thrills kind of racer, and a lot of the need for speed payback stillgelegtes auto heute it works brilliantly on those terms. Related: I also like the way Payback splits off its activities, with three protagonists: street-racer Tyler, wheelman Jess, and extreme-racer Mac. Each tackles different shady driving disciplines in their quest for revenge on the all-powerful gambling syndicate that runs Fortune Valley. Mac handles off-road racing and drift challenges, meaning he gets the craziest events in the game. This unlocks a big story mission that brings all three drivers together, then takes you through to the next tier. Related: More importantly, the actual events are consistently entertaining. Ditto for the offroad races, where you can ditch the route at times and take a bumpy, spine-wrecking shortcut between checkpoint A and checkpoint B. You can also use clues from the different bosses to track down derelict cars and the parts to repair them, potentially providing access to some of the most powerful vehicles in the game. A lot of this comes down to the way upgrades and progression works in-game. You upgrade your car through a system of speed cards, which are either won when you come first in an event or bought from local tuning shops. These represent different enhancements for your engine, exhaust, brakes and suspension, and so on — although each adds to or subtracts from an overall rating for your car. What is, is the fact that each individual event has a rating, and to have any chance of winning you need your vehicle to near, match or exceed that score. Or — even more annoyingly — stealing victory in the final stretch. To compound the misery, you can only complete events by coming first. What you can buy with real cash, though, is shipments containing cosmetic items and additional in-game moolah, which I guess has a similar effect. Related: Either way, it seems a bit much to expect players to pony up real money just to reduce the amount of grinding in your game. Hunt down the derelicts, for example, and you can use one of these as the basis for a new vehicle and save yourself some precious dosh. Certain event chains also seem to be better than others when it comes to dishing out enough loot and speed cards to make the next event possible without additional grind. Grinding and microtransactions aside, there still seems to be a lot of needless to-ing and fro-ing, just to buy cars, get parts, compete and even change cars. Put it all together and you have a game that should have one foot down hard on the accelerator, but that keeps on braking, hitting kerb and grinding gears. Unfortunately, those simple pleasures keep getting spoilt by the amount of grinding and driving around that goes on in-between. Need for Speed was never the most-respected racing series, but it used to be one of the most fun. Payback has too much getting in the way.
