October's PS+ games: Need for Speed Payback and Vampyr
- Thread starter --R
- Start date
I haven't played any Need for Speed games. Are they any good? I love Burnout games… will this scratch that itch until EA stops sitting on the IP?
I played it back when people viewed the lootboxes as being at their worst and still had quite a bit of fun with it. You'll wish that there were more of the Fast and the Furious-style setpieces in the game. But what's there is fun, and the racing is pretty great.
I got 3 months of PS+ back in August to play Fall Guys and with the expectation that some of the other free games would be decent.
It hasn't been worth it. At all. Not for Fall Guys. Not for the other games. Not at all.
I suppose I did take advantage of the lower PS+ prices on some games, though.

As usual the game I am interested in I already have but I have a lot of games so that's to be expected. Vampyr is really cool though, I had a great time with it.
Vampyr is a good get. Was about to get it on steam.
NFS Payback was the one the recently got the crossplay update, or was that Heat? Haven't played'em both, anyway.

Yes.... stay away from this pile of garbage. Stupid slotmachine that tests your patience trying to get the right upgrade for grinding hours of gameplay (or paying tons of money on microtransactions)
Last month's thread was bumped to ask when the new games were being announced. You probably saw that! Street Fighter V and PUBG?
That's happened to me several times. Or there is one game I have and the other is.... not my cup of tea. Excited to try both these out though
Sony really needs to fix that issue if they wanna compete with game pass. I'm hoping they have an announcement soon that updates PSNow and plus and revamps them into a better service
I enjoyed Payback more than Heat. The cops in Heat were way too damn aggressive.
Heat got the cross play and its a much better game, despite its flaws. At least its fair when it comes to progression and upgrading your vehicle.
Payback is locked behind a stupid slotmachine that uses real money or your soul in exchange.
The game was patched multiple times to tone down the economy. It still revolves around slot machine based upgrades, but nowhere near as grindy as launch.
Vampyr is definitely flawed but I consider it to be one of my favourite games from the year it was released, even going so far as calling it one of my favourite RPGs.
The closest thing I can compare it to is Mass Effect 1 in terms of great story, some good voice acting, a memorable cast of characters, morally ambiguous choices, but with a bit of a rough combat system and some bad load times. If you spec for things like stamina and health regen combat won't be an issue. If you accept that it's essential a AA game it's actually quite impressive, especially for a studio that hasn't really gone this deep on third person combat in the past.
I cannot wait for the sequel we've been promised. I hope you'll check it out and enjoy it the way I did!

Oh okay yeah that's it thank you I thought I was losing my mind.
I beat it in a PS4 slim, didn't experience any major issues imo.
It was never toned down, it has grind.
Payback is the worst NFS game of this generation, it's that simple.
To those who will be playing the game for the first time, enjoy the speedcards i guess.
Vampyr it's a good game.
Bought Vampyr a lil while ago, I should finish it. It's a good game but combat got a lil samey. Oh and no fast travel really really sucked.
I've been interested in Vampyr but I always forget it exists, so a PS Plus game for me finally.
I'm guessing NFS isn't so great though?

Some months you win, some months you lose. I'm a great believer in competition between the main console manafacturers being good for consumers..... So come on, Sony, you've got gamepass to compete with!
RIP online play, even on consoles with it's huge populace...
