This game was pretty good, honestly the story and the characters i dont care about them being crap or cringe or whatever. The first two Underground games i had no idea what the story was about i just went racing against my competitors, and i had a great time. The drifting feels good, way better than Heat and Unbound for me personally, the offroad is amazing, the runners were unique, if under utilized, had an amazing multiplayer setup, complete with terrible Regera drivers. If not for the upgrade system this game is up there with some of the best. Oh also the ploice suck lmao, that too. But that kind of goes hand in hand with the Runner class not being as good as it could, pump up the cops, have more and better Runner class races and we good
A solid 7.8, Im more of a game enjoyer, I don’t really critique games or stuff all that often, but something I can’t let go of is one, some of voice acting, specifically Ty’s. I like the character but he sounds way too unenthusiastic or just dull sometimes. The RNG for parts is a bit of a downer for me but not much since I could just buy the stuff from Part Shops or just get extra money from the RNG parts that tanked my cars performance. Overall, fun game!
The only annoying thing about Payback is when you take Jess mission in between the chases the cop takedown is good but sometimes, it comes at a bad time when you are in a bad position and you get busted quickly.
man! runner and the drift missions are the best also dont worry about speed cards too much, just choose them randomly, they only give you a stat up of the part to help you progress, another thing, you would have to buy a new runner car later on, the S7 wont you much far
As a person who just finished NFS Payback, it was actually fun. But some races pissed me the fk off like that one Holtzman off-road race. Overall was a good game
This series next to the midnight club 3 series bout to be funny asf 😂 1. Ever since I seen his man channel I’ve been telling him ITS ASTON NOT ASHTON 🤣 2. Good luck trying to find what the best car is. The cards make it fairly difficult to get the best cards to figure out whats a good car. 3. Drag car, any old muscle. Drift, rx-7 orZ06. offroad, subbie. Runner, X6 or challenger. Race, your choice 🤷🏾♂️ keep up the fire work tree 🤘🏾
I think there's a reason NFS games don't usually include off road racing. I dont mind if its just small short cuts during races, but they should just leave it at that.
sorry just had to point this out as i think you were a bit confused when the second passenger mentioned powdering her nose this had nothing to do with drugs, its a common phrase that women use that means fixing their makeup adapted from ye old days usually used to get out of a situation or conversation which in this case is what they meant
You know its wild to me that devs can literally see and play the best NFS games ever, Most Wanted etc. And they dont just say, ok that went well, lets literally make a new version of that. Like change the story or whatever but just follow that model but newer and add a couple things here and there. They always seem like they want to re-invent the wheel with the next NFS. Or just fken REMAKE the most popular old games. Can you imagine how much money they would make for that shit? I know id pay.
Yeah, people keep asking for remakes, but I don't think we should get one one of NFS's problems is that it's living on the nostalgia of the past. It needs to move on and become something new An example of this is how the MW M3 GTR is a plot point in Heat and that's not good They need to move on from their past and make something new that's just as iconic
@@novawolf_gaming Your not wrong, i guess i mean more from a money making standpoint than a game series evolution one. Agree though i would definitely like to see them catch their own winning formula. In terms of like story and everything, i care very little for it tbh. We just want good racing, good customization and a good physics package. Like when i play League im not wondering about the lore consistency, i just wanna play and have a good time. When playing through the first few NFS titles i had almost no idea what was going on it wasnt the thing i was concerned with
@stalliondave9338 I personally love story driven games, but I get your perspective, I don't play GTA Online or Unbound Online for a story 😂 But yeah, NFS needs to move on. Each game is struggling to find its identity, and hell, the only ones that did being Payback and Unbound got shafted by fans because of certain decisions so NFS continues with the nostalgia bait cuz it gets in fans They need to make something iconic, maybe take a page out of The Crew or Forzas books, they are still fairly successful Another thing is post launch content has been a major issue, Unbound handled it well, but it needs more Hopefully, the next game will push a new idea that feels nostalgic, BUT it isn't nostalgia bait. They can make this series iconic again
@@novawolf_gaming yeah it's not a bad thing by any means, but if we are talking play hours it usually doesn't mean much. One of my favorites being ProStreet is basically Ryan Cooper wants to drive fast haha
I’ve been playing the game since 2021 and I love playing the game every single time I get on it! The Car Chase events ( besides the racing ) are my most favorite thing about the game!
I'd say the game is 6-6.5/10 for me. Not as bad as people make it out to be, but not that great either. I feel like most of the hate was because it came around the lootbox fiasco of Battlefront 2. IMO it's a huge downgrade since NFS 2015, which btw is still my favorite NFS post Hot Pursuit 2010, but it ain't bad. The worst thing about Payback was the voice acting at times, and those damn tuning cards. 8:54 maybe he's actually rubbing something else 😶
SpeedX is the event you’re gonna love if you’re not into just the drift events. The Regarra is the best car in THIS NFS game. Other than that, it all depends on which Category! Mac does Drift, Off-road and SpeedX And you need 3 Outland and 3 Chidori cards for speed and nos combo performance. And try to go for cards with 2 (or preferably 3) boosts on each. If they don’t, trade them for a token and don’t waste your time. And you can’t trade the tokens amongst cars. The only thing useful to all cars and categories is tokens and cash.
the real problem for me was all the hype i created by this ,and when it releases,is a fckin cassino...but nowadays is a little more fun. watch dogs feels the same, the hype is the problem, the expectations for something incredible
I mean, the story plot is actually interesting for me, some customizations are also cool (especially the junkyard cars), aside from weird engine upgrades, i for real like this game better than heat
U wrong 918 spyder is the best race car and for the runner i will take hellcat srt and at drag i will take ford roadster and at offroad i will take bel air
@@whomisswhowho I disagree with you entirely. I never liked the gearing of the 918 for corner boosting. While Regara can't do that it's top speed makes up for it with careful cornering. The RSR is just super nimble with excellent gears.
I love the game but i hate the upgrading system for the cars, heat has a far better upgrading system but apart from that, i actually prefer payback to heat🤝🤝🤝
I hate thats only one car can go over 240mph with no boost at all i think it will be a good if they made more 240mhp cars then just one car thats not even that good
This game is goated to me.. just beat it after coppin ultimate edition for $3. the only thing heat has on this game is the engine swaps and parts.. this game clears everywhere else.. map, story, cops etc. i say cops because you cant make these cops look like idiots by making them hit the water.. if you do theyre 9n a half months pregnant and birth 2 more behind you😂😂😂
Bro talked all this crap about payback and just switched his opinion just as he started playing the game🤣😂🤣☠️
What can I say 💀💀
5:21 closest thing we got is bait crates around the map.
Wherever Heat is I rate Payback above it
I'm so invested in your playthrough of Payback. Can't wait to see your reaction to *that* gameplay moment in "Double or nothing" heist :D
Its epic bro , sadly we could not use them js like the keonigsegg ( u can use the keonigsegg if u beat the story)

Yea
The only annoying thing about Payback is when you take Jess mission in between the chases the cop takedown is good but sometimes, it comes at a bad time when you are in a bad position and you get busted quickly.
I'm so mad there's a lack of races in the city, there should be more of them in this game, i really like the city layout :(
15:54 The R32/R34 bodykit combo, Did a doubletake when I saw it thought I was living in an alternate universe for a second
man! runner and the drift missions are the best
also dont worry about speed cards too much, just choose them randomly, they only give you a stat up of the part to help you progress, another thing, you would have to buy a new runner car later on, the S7 wont you much far
1:10
My brother, we have never heard of uk jungle garage😂
As a person who just finished NFS Payback, it was actually fun. But some races pissed me the fk off like that one Holtzman off-road race. Overall was a good game
19:01 using nitrous locks the multiplier so you can chain more drifts together.
them speed cards really do be causing me PTSD
This series next to the midnight club 3 series bout to be funny asf 😂

It's still ASHTON around here 💀🙏
@@Threelapz lmaoo 🤣🤣
The thing make me I hate this game is the off road races
Nah they're literally the best part
Really not a big fan of off road racing in general but I appreciate it lol
theres one race that has insane rubber banding, its so bad
I think there's a reason NFS games don't usually include off road racing. I dont mind if its just small short cuts during races, but they should just leave it at that.
Bro same 😂 hate the off roading
sorry just had to point this out as i think you were a bit confused when the second passenger mentioned powdering her nose this had nothing to do with drugs, its a common phrase that women use that means fixing their makeup adapted from ye old days usually used to get out of a situation or conversation which in this case is what they meant
18:49 just wanted to say u were right the first time. It was a 1 series e82 not a 2 series

Idk if you know, but in drift events when you hold nos then the point multiplier is locked until you release or run out of nos
Good to know
the real problem for me was all the hype i created by this ,and when it releases,is a fckin cassino...but nowadays is a little more fun. watch dogs feels the same, the hype is the problem, the expectations for something incredible
Glad to see more Payback 🔥🔥🔥.
1 like = More respect for NFS Payback.
👇
I don't know why, but I enjoyed the Drifting in Underground 2 the most.
Game is fun I just hate the upgrading system it's really hard to tell how good your car is
7
edit: The graphics and the music was alight the clingy one liners and the card system i remember how much of a pain that was nvm i give it a 5.5
I mean, the story plot is actually interesting for me, some customizations are also cool (especially the junkyard cars), aside from weird engine upgrades, i for real like this game better than heat
That was cross talking about rockport
lowkey am enjoying this content
Porche RSR Dirt/ Race
Ragera Race
Drift Hurican
Runner M4
U wrong 918 spyder is the best race car and for the runner i will take hellcat srt and at drag i will take ford roadster and at offroad i will take bel air

I loved payback and heat was pretty heat and i don't think payback is the worst.
Def NFS No Limits
Loved Payback & Undercover ❤
💀
I love the game but i hate the upgrading system for the cars, heat has a far better upgrading system but apart from that, i actually prefer payback to heat🤝🤝🤝
Still better than Unbound story mode (online was okay imo)
batman arkham knight when? also no facecam so me sad
This game is 10 out of 10
Woah buddy
@@Threelapz I love the story
Started playing again after watching your videos. It looks really good, driving is fun. Upgrading is obviously trash but the game isn’t imo
Payback is a 7.5 - 8 for me, might be biased a little.
9 outa 10
I hate thats only one car can go over 240mph with no boost at all i think it will be a good if they made more 240mhp cars then just one car thats not even that good
payback really wasn't that bad i didn't understand why people didn't like it, but the offroad races were terrible i hated them so much
I own this game on ps5
Bro your voice and comments remind me of @grizzy its kinda scary
I put payback in mediocre
360.....this game was never on it
It is good game just had even more microtransactions at release and still has a lot of it and is scripted af. That's all the critisism I guess
99,000 who they think I am dk😭
😂😂
I give need for speed payback four out of 10
Heat is nowhere close to the big 3 (mw underground carbon)
Honestly after hp2010 and rivals, payback is the next best imo
What happened to playing need for speed underground and midnight club :( we need more early 2000s
I literally uploaded UG couple days ago lol
@@Threelapz 7 days too long lol
Yo threelapz, im watchin yo stream and i cant chat cuz i dont have a phone number, can you turn that requirement off please?
Yuh
bro put the face cam
This game is goated to me.. just beat it after coppin ultimate edition for $3. the only thing heat has on this game is the engine swaps and parts.. this game clears everywhere else.. map, story, cops etc. i say cops because you cant make these cops look like idiots by making them hit the water.. if you do theyre 9n a half months pregnant and birth 2 more behind you😂😂😂
best car? hmm the regra
Play more payback
8/10
I'd give this game a 4/10 at best. I tried to enjoy it, but I gave up on it near the end. It's just so mediocre at best.
I agree
10😊
