He even gets to awkwardly say the word "Payback" early on in his story. And of course, he's the main protagonist. The problem is that Mac and Jess are likable, and Tyler is the most hilariously generic dude I've ever seen in a video game. Saying more would spoil what little nuance the game's story has, but as you might expect, you eventually need to get Payback against someone. Each of them has a favored discipline, and the game does a cool job of transferring your control between them at appropriate points. It follows three characters: Tyler, Mac, and Jess, as y to steal things? In the opening of the game, it's made clear that they're some sort of racing crew, but it's never made clear if they're thieves or if they're just people that like to race cars. But Payback's story is the definition of B-grade writing.
It's hard to write a compelling story about driving around a desert and a city for 20 hours where you can't show much action that takes place outside of cars.
And most of it takes place over cell phone calls. There's a surprising amount of voice- over work, and interplay between the different characters. At first, I thought the dialogue and character moments would fall by the wayside a bit, but they just kept going and going. Where Need for Speed Payback tries to stand out is in its story content and writing.
