    Отличная игра, прекрасная графика, физика не очень конечно, но лучше чем в прошлой части.
    Звук и музыка шикарны, сюжет для гоночной игры неплох.

    EA/GhostGames masters its gamedeveloper craft: The actionpacked gaming hell in NFS Payback makes much more fun than the bland FH 3 from MS. Payback is not about boring festival simulations!

    Its a freaky sometimes amusing story of three different car fetishists Tyler (Racer), Mac (Showman) and Jess (Wheelman) against a flashy cartel "The House" in the adventurous world of Fortune Valley.    EA/GhostGames masters its gamedeveloper craft: The actionpacked gaming hell in NFS Payback makes much more fun than the bland FH 3 from MS. Payback is not about boring festival simulations!

    Its a freaky sometimes amusing story of three different car fetishists Tyler (Racer), Mac (Showman) and Jess (Wheelman) against a flashy cartel "The House" in the adventurous world of Fortune Valley. The speed heady car casino atmosphere is unique and has addictive potential not only for arcadegambler. Loverpieces such as american muscle cars, coveted european and exotic supersportcars as well outsider wrecks need to be pimped over the edge (in addition to live-tuning on the road). Therewith singleplayers always have to win the ultimate first place in order to be able keep up in breakneck actionraces (Race & Runner, Offroad, Drag & Drift) along the evolving story. So this Game celebrates the need for speed in all its facets: From ingenious search for extremely upgradable wrecks up to blustery Poker around exchangeable speedcards for tuningparts. Completing the storymissions rewarded with all that already in singleplayer, besides the equipment also increases by multiplayer competitions. Additional speedpoints don't have to be bought extra, however the natural need of some gamers for timesaving may require this, because not all people have so much time for gaming. (An alternative could be to make games not so extensive, but this could be at the expense of gamers with appropriate time for gaming.)

    Those coherent atmosphere with attention for details (use special camerafunction), car customizations, pc&playeroptions and so on comes through the fluid high graphicquality and soundoptimization even on weaker laptops to advantage. So my need for speed covers this game!    … Expand

    The best Need for Speed from Ghost Games. They fixed the issues that we adressed from nfs 2015 and it's so much better. The handling is so much better no Monster Energy Product Placements, the world is huge and the envoirment differs. The Inclusion of Day and Night gives the game more atmosphere and the story is great

    A very unique game for the NFS franchise. The story within the gameplay is an icing for the cake, improved handling, kickass soundtracks, and harder cops,the With the add of online freeroam, catch up packs, and upcoming updates, the game is now way less grindable and one of the current racing game you need to keep an eye for.

Yes the dialog is ULTRA cheesy and the story is ridiculous. I grew up on cheesy action movies so it's fine with me. Cop destruction is so damn good!

In 25 hours of ply time I have maxed 5 cars on each class and have not yet finished the story mode. I have not payed a single penny for any microtransactions simply cause I haven't had the need for it. Everything is accessible and might I add the upgrade system was chosen by the community in the subreddit post for need for speed two years ago.
    I would absolutely like to see some fixes in the multiplayer aspect which I must add I have only played half an hour of (see some online free roam, and a reworked tier system for online competition). Also like to see some easier grind on the upgrade shop. Cop chases and bait crates work fine for me, I am not much of a cop chase guy myself.
    Please do not listen to big corporation reviews and take a look at smaller youtubers and car community youtubers which actually play arcade racers in order to see what they think about the game, and not what a company full of corruption has to say.
    I would give the game an 8 right now, but the amount stupidity in the review scores make me take matters into my own hands, plus I'm sure this "issues" will be taken care of since it's Ghost games we are talking about here, and like it or not EA has really stepped up their game with the players.    … Expand

Handling with DS4 controller is perfect and I can tell you guys that I am enjoying this game really a lot. For 10 Euro (x-mas discount on Origin) it's a must have! There are of course some drawbacks and it's performance optimization. I have i7-5820k @ 4.26 GHz + 16GB RAM + GTX 1080 Ti. When I randomly opened task manager, I could see it was consuming 5.3 GB of RAM, CPU usage was at 45 -66 % usually and GPU usage was often at 66% only causing some FPS drops. But so far I did not have any glitches or any crashes or bugs. Maybe it's because this game is more than one year old. I can play it at 3440 x 1440 resolution with G-Sync on Ultra settings with frame rates 44 - 100 depending on the speed and environment. Go for it if you love racing games you won't regret it!… Expand

    +really nice optimization. Able to get around 80-100 FPS in 1440p with no stuttering.

    -Speed cards system. Really? EA? You need so much RNG to get good performances. Every car needs about 300 tokens to max out, which is around 200 rounds of street drift block event (assuming you get something from the speed card drop). That means you need about 3 hours of grinding for a well built maxed out car. SUPER ANNOYING. (p.s. you can use cheat engine on PC for unlimited tokens)
    -Storyline and writing is not reasonable. The way the story goes is absolutely trash. I don't need to explain more here. (However the story MISSIONS are fun, i mean like at least they are exciting and adrenaline pumping.)
    **** netcode. In online races, when other people drift, they glitch and ram you offroad when you are near them. This is a universal issue, not internet quality based.

    If there are not that much P2W elements inside, this could be one of the best NFS i played since Hot pursuit. The gameplay is much fun, but there is just too many things preventing me from having that fun.    … Expand

    I just wanted to preface this review with a few things. 1) I've been a big fan of the Need For Speed franchise since I was about 5. Most Wanted is possibly my favourite game of all time. 2) I'm absolutely aware that the EA management is scum, but I want to focus on the merits of each game separately rather than tarring everything with the same brush- and I think the widespread anger andI just wanted to preface this review with a few things. 1) I've been a big fan of the Need For Speed franchise since I was about 5. Most Wanted is possibly my favourite game of all time. 2) I'm absolutely aware that the EA management is scum, but I want to focus on the merits of each game separately rather than tarring everything with the same brush- and I think the widespread anger and scorn against Payback is more than a little unfair.

    Pros:
    - The driving experience.
    You get an exhilarating feeling of speed that no other major racing game releasing in the last few years really fulfils. As you progress through the story and the cars get faster and faster, the feeling only grows.
    - The art and sound design is sensational.
    The world isn't huge, but it's varied and beautiful. From hilly, swirling offroad mountain tracks to stretching desert roads to the bright night lights of the city, it's a joy to drive through. It reminds me of The Witcher 3 in how the game is a joy to traverse, taking in the sights, not just to sprint through until the credits roll.
    - Brilliant sound design.
    The roar of the engines, the stretched 'slurp' of the nitrous and the squeal of the drift sound excellent, no more so than when they reaches a cacophony combined with police sirens chasing you at 190 mph through oncoming traffic. The soundtrack doesn't mean much for a racing game, but it's got something for everyone- a healthy smattering of grime, rap and rock, featuring Queens of the Stone Age, Vince Staples and Skepta. There are a few stinkers, but the good outweighs the bad.
    - The driving experience feels genuinely fresh.
    It's a refreshing break from the racing sims that the market is moving closer towards. Sims are great in their own regard, but often fail to capture the joy of speed, destruction and carelessness a good arcade racer revels in.
    - It copies the successes of its predecessors:
    - Cops are a challenge and fun to battle and escape for the first time in years thanks to smart
    teamwork (due to well-made AI).
    - The customisation (the only real pro in NFS 2015) is taken in Payback with bodykits galore
    (especially on the derelicts you can restore) and a wide set of decals, along with a good
    community tab where you can download popular 'wraps'.
    - A full day and night cycle lets you have both the night gameplay people liked in Underground 1, 2
    and NFS 2015, as well as the sun-baked desert and sunset.
    - This is a controversial opinion, but the story mode is actually alright
    There are issues, but the story is, in parts, wonderfully camp, daft and fun once you get over the hurdle of its exasperating stupidity. It's quite hefty and long too, keeping me busy for at least a good 20+ hours. David Ajala does a brilliant job as Mac, the drifter and offroader of your 'crew', with a carefree joy and lovely British accent and so does Jessica Madsen as Jess- for a few lines, at least.

    Cons:
    - No cops in freeroam.
    Why design them so well and criminally underuse them?
    - Camera issues.
    No cockpit camera. Particularly in Drag-type cars, the camera under nitrous boost zooms back to emphasise the speed, which is a nice effect until you notice it's difficult to see over your car at the oncoming traffic.
    - Cars can only be used in the racing discipline for which you buy them (Drift cars are only usable in Drift events, for example.)
    I could want to use by Race-type NSX for a drag race, but I'd have to spit out the 100,000 credits to buy a Drag-type one then spend around 20 minutes of farming to get it to the right level. Surely there should be a 'remodding' or transformation mechanic to switch the type of previously bought vehicles in the garage?
    - Minor issues with the driving experience.
    Cars drive almost comically different depending on their role. Race-types have steering tuned too 'tight', and this is taken further with Drag-types. In races, the reset after crash mechanic is inconsistent and buggy, once resetting me facing a wall.
    - When the writing fails, it fails hard
    The acting is generally weak. Tyler, Lina, the racing league bosses, and, often, Jess are acted horribly, though it might be more accurate to blame the script. In particularly, the sketch to introduce Mac in the prologue criticises a 'cringy' drifting streamer called "HashTiger" physically hurt to play.
    - Farming
    Upgrading under-levelled vehicles is a chore, waiting for upgrade shops to restock and farming old events for 'Speed Cards', but the game is very liberal with resources, never pushing you to pay a penny for a microtransaction (considering they only buy you boxes containing money, vanity items and cards to 'roll' for more Speed Cards). I'll be the first person to crusade against microtransactions but this is light years away from how egregious Battlefront II or Shadow of War are.

    I'm just so thankful EA have, after all this time, released a game that genuinely lives up to the Need for Speed name, even if it's not a masterpiece.    … Expand

    The advantages of the game:
    A big open world, with a lot of freedom. Although after several hours of driving around the open world, he gets bored and gets a bit boring and empty.
    But given the delayed start of the game, the initial dynamic plot and the initial interest of the open world, the player does not have time to get bored with the first 10 hours of free games. So, roughly speaking, Ghost Games coped with their task.
    A good mechanic from GTA V with three playable characters.
    Substantiated secondary activities.
    I liked the mechanics of Speed-cards.
    A good story, but it is not presented very much.
    Interestingly turned out the mechanic of Forza Horizon 3, with the search for relics.
    Significant complexity (which is "donut belt." But even so good).

    Disadvantages of the game:
    Not very machine physics, too arcade. The cars are operated as toy cars.
    You can not switch between characters, even in the garage. To change the type of car, you need to go to the appropriate race, there to change the car, start the race and then go out with it.
    Few action scenes.
    Terrible physics of cars on offroad. Extremely not convenient. Permanent and strong drifts.
    Very weak and too cheap cut scenes, often even crazy.
    A bit tightened grind.
    Dealers have the same car.
    Badly implemented mechanics The Crew, with different racing modes. Namely, the same cars have several attachments to different types of races (that is, different dealers have the same car). And they all rock apart. For example, you can buy 5 Mustang GT, for all 5 types of races, and you'll have to download them separately. Those. this is a 5 separate Mustang GT.
    At the beginning of the game, does not allow to enter the menu.
    You can not start the game again.
    When you leave the garage, the music changes
    A little long animation of the slot machine, on issuing a speed-card.
    Bad and strange keyboard layout.
    Dealers do not see the purchased cars.
    Many functions of the game are not shown (besides, important ones too).
    Cut scenes (before the race) can not be missed. It's especially annoying when you often overact and you have to watch the cut scene every time.
    All speed cards are tied to each machine separately.
    Sometimes the music changes after the accident.
    At many cars, there are not enough spare parts for tuning.
    If you do not grind and do not donate, and ride about on a machine equal in power to competitors, then if you are overtaken by everyone, then it will be almost impossible to break out first.
    Sometimes it does not return to the track, in the race, when you flew off the track.
    If you passed a control point, you need to go back yourself.
    There are no awards for defeats in some missions, and in all drift missions.
    The music changes when you enter and exit the dealer.
    In missions "Courier", if you get into an accident, then the set route on the map, gets lost. And also sometimes respawns too far from the place of the accident.

    I honestly want to give this game a 6.5 NFS 2015 was way better than this a true NFS game at is core, I loved it. But Payback is very different. It doesn't really feel like a NFS game at all. Don't get me wrong for $5 is a great fun arcade racing game but just not a great NFS game. Origin has it on Sale for $5 pretty often for that price is recommended. But not anything more than that.

Need for Speed: Payback will give usA few years have passed and EA is classically serving us another part of its Need for Speed ​​racing series. Although the previous episode from 2015 did not receive much positive feedback, I liked the game and therefore I will not lie that I was looking forward to the new episode and I can happily say that this is another Payback episode of the series. Need for Speed: Payback will give us daylight at the beginning, but it won't take long and we will see night darkness right away. I am very happy for this change, because I like it when these factors change. Day and night have their charm. But what pleased me most about the game is the map itself. The locations here are luxurious, because we will see both a city that is beautiful and a desert, and I love the desert. We play nice songs in all this and I have to say that one is completely etched in my memory and captures the atmosphere of the game for me and it's Barns Courtney - Kicks. After all, this song plays at the beginning of the game, where it immediately introduces you to one character and then others. Yes, in Need for Speed: Payback you play for more characters. What I think is great is that we have seen both classic street races in the city and desert Offroad races, and I would even call some heists where we just do something in the story, but I won't break it down or spoiler it. Having already mentioned the spoiler, let's move on to a slightly different one, the one meant for the car. In other words, I'm going to tuning now. It is almost the same as the one in 2015. In my opinion, it is not to the detriment, because the tuning in the previous game came to me so perfect that there is nothing to change on it. As in the previous game, if you don't want to win extra with tuning, you can use community-created ones, which are often beautiful, and in the last part I used it on Skyline in the form of tuning from the movie Fast and Furious 2 or I he had the BMW look from Need for Speed: Most Wanted from 2005 applied, so I've praised the whole game so far, and there's only one thing that has caused quite a stir after the release. We are talking about tuning, although not about the appearance, but purely about the performance of the car. In the game, you do not buy improvements for the game currency in the form of money for races, but for cards that will improve your car. The change is quite strange, because I myself do not know whether to praise or flock. Most people took it as another attempt at gambling, but I personally didn't mind. I'm not saying I welcome this change, and I'd probably like to return tuning in the form of spending money, but on the one hand, I commend the developers for trying to make a change, and honestly, I didn't mind this news at all. To sum it up. Since Need for Speed ​​from 2015, in my opinion, the authors have caught the right wave and the series is in full beauty for me again, although of course the fame it had during the times of Undergrounds or Most Wanted is long gone, so in my opinion Payback is a great sequel. and most importantly, I would almost forget to mention that you finally don't have to be connected to the internet, as was the case in the previous part. So a great game for me, which I can recommend. Maybe it's a pity that we can't have neon lights in the game when it's already that night.… Expand

    The customization of car is good but I get why many players didn't like the performance upgrades with "cards" that you get with random stats. Also the way they make you have different cars for different types of races is not the best. Drag cars are terrible if you drive them in open world and some cars simply cant be bought in some categories. In my opinion, Heat did this feature better.    … Expand

    Need for Speed: Payback
    Feels more like running errands than racing
    Need for Speed is an 18 hour long Arcade Racer where you play as 3 different characters in a story where theyre betrayed during a heist and youll never guess what these characters want… Did you guess yet? You were wrong.. they want payback Need for Speed Payback is probably the weakest need for speed game ive ever    Need for Speed: Payback
    Feels more like running errands than racing
    Need for Speed is an 18 hour long Arcade Racer where you play as 3 different characters in a story where theyre betrayed during a heist and youll never guess what these characters want…
    Did you guess yet? You were wrong.. they want payback
    Need for Speed Payback is probably the weakest need for speed game ive ever played
    This game follows the formula of 2015s need for speed that tried to capture the magic of underground 2… which isn’t a bad thing…
    They actually listened to feedback from that game and improved its offerings by adding drag races and cars feel much more customizable…
    However this game is lesser in every other aspect
    The story mode here is completely throwaway, it tries desperately to go the fast and the furious route, but the characters and missions just aren’t interesting enough… besides one really cool heist mission…
    But that one mission is the only fun this 18hrs offers…
    This open world which ads off roading.. another improvement.. just isn’t fun to drive through… its bland and because of that every race is bland…
    Again there are 3 different characters but there are 5 different race modes
    Theres circuit racing and drag racing which is handled by tyler
    Drifting and offroad which is handled by mac
    and finally there are run missions handled by jess
    And you need 1 car for each mission type and as you clear missions new cars will unlock for later chapters
    I didn’t mind most of these missions.. they just feel like busy work.. you never feel like youre some awesome crew taking over the area.. you just feel like youre doing a job the whole time… and this feeling smacks you the hardest when you play as jess…
    The run missions are just awful..
    Youre either running to different spots on the map before a timer runs out or youre running from annoying cops trying to make it from checkpoint to checkpoint…
    racing itself though feels just okay…
    The soundtrack here is probably one of the worst licensed soundtracks to ever exist in a game…
    And this isn’t a genre problem, I love all genres of music, and there wasn’t one song here that was fun to listen or race to,
    But the games biggest flaw is that to me literally every single car in this game feels identical
    I understand this is arcade and not a simulation racer… but I should still be able to feel the difference between lambo and Camaro, but i couldn’t
    I drive bumper cam and a lot of the time I don’t even remember what im driving…
    you only get a sense of your car being underpowered when you try to do a race that’s too high of a level…
    That’s right theres a leveling system for both you and your car… and the leveling system for your car is tied to speed cards…
    My feeling on this is up and down.. on the positive.. youre rewarded a speed card at the end of every race… this is basically a random part to upgrade your car with which then upgrades its level.. you can also just flat out buy cards at shops that refresh every 10 minutes..
    And if you get a card you don’t like you can sell it or trade it in for a part token and then trade 3 part tokens for a spin at a new random card but you get to pick the part…
    There is also a loot box system with cash, part tokens and cosmetics…
    On the negative.. .everything is random.. you don’t get to choose what improves and what doesn’t.. you don’t have a true feel of your current cars potential..
    You don’t know if you have to buy a new car every chapter which is what I did.. or if you can go out into the world and grind to bring your starter car up to the level of a super car…
    And I feel this system is exactly why every car feels exactly the same…
    even when youre upgraded you don’t feel more powerful… your opponents just aren’t pulling ahead of you as much..
    and because of this the racing just feels empty and again like busy work..
    There are plenty of challenges like speed traps and drifting around this boring world and collectables, but This is just a very forgettable racing experience…
    Its not bad but its not good either.. its very much just okay

Instead of just buying every upgrade with ingame currency, you have to play to unlock visual customization and get the best performance out of your car. There‘s even an online-ranking mode, in which you can compare yourself with others and show off your rides.

    You can unlock everything by just playing, so the microtransactions are totally ok.
    Each level up you unlock a few style items (Nitrous color, tire smoke, underglow, air suspension and horns). I mean, how cool is that?

    The beautiful diverse world and nice sound + music create just the perfect atmosphere to enjoy the game.

    Fena değil ama bazı özellikleri kötü denilebilir. Bu oyun bana "Hızlı ve Öfkeli'yi" andırıyor ve hiç NFS tadı yok neredeyse. Para kazanılması oldukça zor ve para kasarken bir müddet sonra canınızı sıkıyor ama "Cheat Engine" ile çözebilirsiniz.

    Multiplayer iyi denilebilir fakat emoji ile konuşma dışında başka bir şey olmaması rezalet. Multiplayerda keşke yazışma olsaydı ve biraz daha fazla oyuncu sayısı olsaydı 12-16 oyuncu gibi. Yarış yapma modu var ve serbest takılma modu var. Biraz daha bunları geliştirseler daha iyi olurdu.

    Hikaye modu olması iyi ve kaliteli gibi ama biraz kısa ve kolay kalmış gibi gözüküyor. Oyunun güzel tarafı zaten hikaye modu. Hikaye modunda GTA V'teki gibi 3 karakter olması hoşuma gitti ve hikayelerde heyecan hissi verebiliyor.

    Grafik ve detay ise 2017 yılına göre iyi sayılır ve seslere hayran kaldım. Özellikle Dodge'un V10 ve Buick'in V6 sesine. Sesler oldukça gerçekçi. Oyunda insan detayı hem hikaye modunda, hem de multiplayerda mevcut. Tek eksiği bazı ses detaylarının ufaktan daha iyi yapsalardı güzel olacaktı.

    Araba ve modifiye sanırsam en kötüsü diyebilirim. Çünkü bazı meşhur arabalar eksik ve ücretli. Modifiye tam bir kabus. Neonları, kornaları, süspansiyonu ve nitro rengini sadece "shipments'ten" alınıyor. Çok az parçalar var ve NFSU2 modifiye konusunda NFS PB'yi ezer geçer kesinlikle.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Far from the worst races, but when you realize that these are races from the "need for speed" series, then you expect something higher than in this game.
    of the pros, I can note:
    1) normal number of different machines
    2) a good plot for a game from the genre of race
    3) normal graphics
    4) a large number of visual tuning
    of the minuses:
    1) tuning cars using cards. I absolutely did not like this idea.
    2) a small career. I went through a career in just 25 hours
    3) Often it is required to replay already completed races in order to get cards for improving the car, or money for another car.
    If you are an avid racing player or "need for speed", then the game, for you, should be like. If racing is not the best genre for you, then it is better to skip this game.    … Expand

The multiplayer was dead primarily and probably an aspect of this game that should have fallen off a few years ago. I attended about 4 or 5 races with users, but it took hours to find the users on the multiplayer. The races are limited to about eight cars. It is also worth noting that my computer is a new PC model, and it had some struggles running this program. I had to have max fans on to prevent overheating in my CPU, which makes my computer sound like a jet engine... lol sort of.

    This game is like a supermodel. At first glance it looks amazing, but after a few minutes you realize it's extremely shallow.

    First thing - driving model and feeling. I would give it 8-9/10. Yes, it's arcade but is very spectacular, satisfying and the cars feel quite real. This is a strong point in my opinion. Graphics are good, I can't say 100% because I play on medium-high settings. The gameplay is poor too. The single player is fun at the beginning but after a few missions it's over and over the same thing. Lack of "quick race" or "custom race" option where you can just casually race with bots for prizes is another minus. You can only do a next mission or redo a mission you already completed.

    Multiplayer is boring too. No real interaction like in the Crew. Just matchmaking races where you end up with guys with better cars. I wonder why there is no free roam multiplayer or cooperation.

    The Crew rip off.... All the game mechanics look like a complete The Crew rip off. Different cars for different racing types. Cards for upgrading cars. Everything looks exactly like The Crew.

    A big let down is car customization and upgrading. Car models look super sweet, but wacky visual modifications and hilarious mechanical modification make it a huge let down. I would love to see a bit more, real customization. Real car parts, not this cards BS...

    All in all the game is fun, but gets boring after a while. Despite having a huge potential the game feels empty and shallow.

    Pros:
    - Sound - Cars sound amazing. Very true to original real world sounds
    - Car variety
    - Driving model - fun, spectacular, but not exaggerated
    - Graphics

    Cons:
    - No cockpit view.... Huge let down
    - Lack of coop
    - Few visual upgrades to cars
    - No real car parts upgrading - just some simplified card system
    - No custom-quick races
    - Oversimplified multi
    - Shallow gameplay
    - Lack of functionality in many aspects.    … Expand

    1. Don't try to appeal to the youth market by imitating their language and mannerisms – it just looks contrived. If you make a game like a teen-movie and players don't like your movie, they're not going to enjoy your game no matter how it plays. Make games for mature adults and you will capture the youth market.

    2. Don't substitute unnecessary cut scenes for actions that players could perform themselves.

    NFS Payback is a perfect example of how not to make a game – racing or otherwise. As far as racing goes, another flaw in this entry is the obtrusive arches and directional arrows which completely break the immersion in an otherwise beautifully rendered open world. You especially don't need directions in places where there is only one possible route. I give it 4 points for the graphics.    … Expand

So you can't leave the road for a second as the game, instead of allowing you to correct yourself just restarts you back on the road in a manner of seconds. Every race seems the same. The story is boring and filled with cliches. Bad acting, as always in Need For Speed. Can't destroy any cars. No damage model. Everything is checkpoint race. Even running from cops. You can lose the cops but if you omit checkpoints, oh boy, you are busted.

Upgrade shops have endless supplies of expensive trash cards that are only rarely any good. The best upgrades are supplied by the literal slot machine that consumes tokens that can be received from gameplay or the GODDAMN LOOTBOXES. Gone are the times when you bought a new car and then grinded some races to earn money to upgrade your car with the best parts. In NFS Payback if you buy a car with Level 3 stock cards the best you can buy is LvL 5 performance card if you get lucky. You have to grind races to get better cards for free to be able to buy or win better cards from the slot machine. It is insulting. What makes it worse is the slot machine abusive tactics will most likely bring in enough money from the so called whales that we will not see good NFS ever again.
    The visual customization is great, graphics are also great but that is to be expected from game as this. The plot is well it is good enough to keep you going despite sometimes cringeworthy dialog. It is competently made videogame brought down by greed of the EA.

Я считаю что это лишнее, добавлять какие-то классы, игрок сам разберется нужны ему классы или нет. или это небось добавили чтоб побольше донатили на карточки. и 3 персонажей, типа как в гта5, это гонки, тут гг-игрок. в underground, mostwanted, carbon, nfs2015 герои обращались к игроку. игрок был в роли гг. для меня это важно. физику сделали намного поще чем в нфс2015 и проще не в смысле что машиной стало легче управлять а в том что она теперь как для дурачков, хочешь повернуть в право, нажми конопку право, неважно что ты несешься под 200. полицаи, в этой игре ультра бешеные. ты угнал тачку или ящик, так за тобой выехало пол участка, они врезаются в тебя, присуют, обгоняют. хотя ты едешь на тюнингованом спорткаре, а они на фордах. скорость под 200, ты выжимаешь закись азота, еще более ускоряешься, а ментам все-равно они тебя обгоняют и зажимают в коробочку. нет не заграждений, не вертолета который был в трейлере. отрыв от погони происходит когда ты доезжаешь до гаража в аэропорту в пустыне. полиция резко теряет тебя из виду. но до этого они спавнились перд тобой. это можно было реализовать куда лучше. это ультра глупо, так делать в 2017году. сюжет тут еще короче чем в 2015, его я умудрился пройти менее чем за сутки. могли тупо добавить больше гонок у группировок. проходишь 4-5 гонки и типа все. мне мало хочу больше. сложность в игре простая, я играл на сложной сложности, обгонял всех и ехал всю гонку в одиночестве. единственное что круто, так это что можно поставить рекорд на трассе, и пытаться побить, рекорд другого игрока. в игре присутствуют машины босов которые можно угнать. так как надо отрываться от погони. после удачного побега. машину можно модифицировать карточками. но нельзя перекрасить или заменить какую либо деталь. это также ультра тупо. я как будто взял машину покататься. вообщем эта игра явный признак деградации.… Expand

    Rate aber jedem davon ab, das Spiel für zu viel Geld zu kaufen.

    Man kann es sich ja mal für 5€ oder im Access holen.

    Meine Empfehlung ist NFS:UG1 & NFS:UG2 oder Most Wanted 2005 mit HD Texture Mod, Widescreen und LAN Patch Gameranger als VPN Software für den Multiplayer.

    - Kaum Beschädigungen oder Umwelteinflüsse am Fahrzeug
    - 0815 irgend eine komische Sinnfreie Story
    - Haufen Bugs, die nie behoben werden
    - Mittelmäßige Grafik
    - Mittelmäßige Fahrphysik    … Expand

    Don't even torrent this game, it's not worth your bandwidth. Literally every car feels the same.

    In an effort to make players shell out for microtransactions, developers ramped up the difficulty, which led to a surprisingly enjoyable result – it’s the first time we get a relatively difficult NFS in recent years. [Issue#226, p.44]

    NFS: Payback is full of defects, such as the boring story, highly repetitive missions, useless open world design, and annoying microtransactions. However, it is not terrible enough to get a fail score. This game contains exaggerated and cool controls, exhilarating car chasing, and fascinating background music. If you also enjoy the passionate scenes of the Fast & Furious movie series just like I do, I think you will love this game anyway.

    The new game from the Need for Speed series does not respect your time at all. You should pay it back the same and don´t lose any moment with it. Unprepared and unbalanced free to play mechanics with a strong gambling part destroy otherwise quite usable and somewhat entertaining, though not very interesting arcade.
