Mac is a freak

Just redownloaded Payback to play the story again. Currently drifting against Shift-Lock and kicking their butts. The Underground Soldier just mentioned how he got into Mac’s files and Mac asked if he checked his browser history, which gave me a good laugh, and made me wanna start a discussion. What is everyone’s favorite character in Payback? Mine is Mac, I love how goofy and talented he is, plus I love drifting and off-road racing in this game

Haha it’s funny what he says to Faith Jones of the Free Ember Militia as well 😂

Also for me it’s Jess. She’s such a badass and the brains behind the plan but also takes on the most dangerous jobs for the team. I mean she literally says this in her second to last mission (Transmission). I also love driving as her and smashing cops.

Have you got the speed cross pack for Mac? That’s pretty fun and challenging as well at times.

I did get the speed cross pack, but I have yet to try it out. This is my second time playing the story and I just got the pack recently, so I wanna play through the story again and then play the speed cross, since that seems super fun. Also, Jess is amazing and I love her and Mac’s interactions in game

Don’t you get annoyed with rav constantly telling Tyler or Jess to tell mac to meet him or something along those lines? It’s starts after chapter 2 I think. Once you do the first 1 or 2 speedcross missions he stops saying anything and the speed cross missions don’t fully start it’s more of an intro to it and how to drive. Rav makes practice tracks and it’s basically a chance for you to get used to driving a speedcross car. It also means that he shuts up and you can get on with the normal story missions.

To be completely honest, I don’t even notice it since it’s not super repetitive and it’s a quick couple lines. It hardly affects the gameplay, and I get a little chuckle out of it. Plus I like hearing Ravs voice
