"This explosive adventure is filled with intense heist missions, high stakes car battles, epic cop pursuits and jaw dropping set pieces. It’s blockbuster gameplay never before seen from the series, fueled by a gripping story of betrayal and revenge. With Need for Speed: Payback, it’s no longer just about being the first to cross the finish line or racing to prove to be the best, it’s about building the perfect ride, getting behind the wheel and playing out an action driving fantasy.
Set in the underworld of Fortune Valley, players will drive as three distinct characters reunited by a quest for vengeance against The House, a nefarious cartel that rules the city’s casinos, criminals and cops. They will take on a variety of challenges and events as Tyler, the Racer; Mac, the Showman; and Jess, the Wheelman to earn the respect of the underground. Featuring the deepest customization from the series, players can truly craft a personalized and unique ride, or spend hours finding and tuning an abandoned derelict into a supercar. They can then push their cars to the limit and raise the stakes by betting on their own performance, where they can either multiply their winnings or risk losing it all."

Story completed!
Time to choose the next title from my vast backlog!

Coming up for the final races ("missions"), love games that enable you to change difficulity settings mid-game.

I've now reached the stage where grinding (in an open world racer!?) is necessary to progress. Just when I was starting to enjoy the title.

Further to my previous update, it appears you cannot drive off cliffs that aren't barricaded for shortcuts. As soon as you start to drive off, your car is reset on the road.
To an extent I understand why it isn't possible. Most likely to be responsible etc.

But that's one of the things I love about open worlds. Travelling off the beaten track, off cliffs etc and carrying on as normal once landed.

I've always found open world racers odd. I don't want to spend more time travelling from event to event than the actual races. I could use fast travel, but I personally don't use those features in 'realistic' worlds.
I've only put three hours in so far, so hardly scratched the surface before I completely make up my mind on the …

Unrealistic. The protagonists are extremely overconfident jerks. Mechanics suck, driving sucks....shittiest driving game ever.

XBox One, trial 10hod.
Hrál jsem trial verzi. Ačkoliv jsem četl rozporuplné a spíše negativní recenze, tak mi přišla velmi zábavná. Postup v kolekci objevených míst mi přišlo jako zajímavé, nevtíravé. Auta se dobře - arkádově ovládala. Umím si představit, že bych hru celou dohrál. Třeba při příští příležitosti.
