"I'm not sure exactly what you mean about being created by a feminist..."

Well let's start with the obvious: while she's far from being Sarah Ryder, she's not much to look at, in contrast to Tyler, Marcus, Rav and Mac whom all look like male models. Sound familiar? Then there's the fact that she acts unnecessarily tough and patronizing when talking to men but never with women, as feminists like to do. And while I'm not saying she should be flirting with every man that crossed her path (or at all) it does feel an awful lot like the writers put her in that position just so she can act like a stone cold *, something also heavily implied from Tyler's conversations with the Silver Six guy.

Taken separately these things might sound like I'm nitpicking, but together they paint a pretty clear picture.

"Mac is awesome as well. He has this laid back, zero F's given attitude, and the more arrogant someone is to him, the more he trolls them with humorous disrespect."

As a protagonist should be, there's way too much drama in this game. Only other NFS game that comes close is The Run, but at least that game went all the way.

The story in The Run starts with the protagonist getting cubed in a mob junkyard and consists mainly of him killing cops or getting shot at by the mafia with actual guns, not to mention the plot actually justifies the need to race. Whereas the villains in this game are almost cartoonishly stupid, they're made out to be this major crime syndicate yet they come up with plans like "blow up the protagonists house in front of him so he gets scared or "bait the protagonists with gold plated cars and place slow ticking time bombs on them" just so they can protect their street racing racket because apparently it brings in millions. Seriously?

Sorry man, I disagree about Jess's looks. She's cute, and I don't think her looks are "downgraded" in some way compared to the guys. Rachel in NFSU2 was old enough to be my mom, and Niki in Carbon looked like she was old enough to be my mom, and Mia from Most Wanted looked like a hooker. Jess has the most personality of any of them, and I would definitely want her on my team and as a friend.

I agree the story is cheesy. But how is it any different that Fast 'n' Furious? Who cares? It moves the progression along and gives us some cool cutscenes. I admit, I was put off by the initial reveal trailer for Payback, but now that I'm into it, I think it's great. I mean, if you didn't like the whole Mustang chase, Jess blasting out of the truck with the Regera, then I can't help you...
