Any players on here? Any recommendations? I have not played Payday 2 yet, but have seen some others play it on streams. It looks to be a lot of fun, but absolutely necessary to have teammates, and my usual Left 4 Dead 2 buddies are six time zones away. Let me know if anyone on these forums has Payday 2 and needs a co-op buddy or is considering getting the game.

i guess i'll get it once it gets cheaper... was tempted to pre-order, but i don't have enough time to play all the games i've got, so i figured it'd be a waste of money to pay the "full price" of ~30€... but looks like a nice game.

I'd throw in on a 4-pack. That's only 22.5€ for a copy. One of my friends in the US says it's less on Steam there. If that's true, it would be even better if one of the four takers is American.

(No, I don't feel like setting up a VPN just to check the American price)

It's a great arcade game. The soundtrack is amazing. But if you play alone without at least 2 friends, the interest is lost.

I played it a bit. It's a matter of personal taste, difficult to review it for you. I personally did not like it. The idea is great, but for me there is too much focus on the gunfights, rather on the planning/stealth/execution of the "job". Most missions are nearly impossible to play full stealth (i.e. without alerting the police and starting a massive gunfight).

And the gunfights are a bit shallow IMO. Opponents take several rifle hits to be taken down, and there are infinite waves of them. Each mission you and your team will take down easily over 100 cops, which just looks silly.

There is definitely fun to be had, but it's no "deep" game. "Replayability" is concentrated on getting money and XP for better weapons and skills. But even those feel quite linear, with most of them just making you better at what you already do every game.

Really fun game to play with buddies, totally worth the 30€. If you're looking for realism though, you won't like it that much.

Clearly, you have no idea what a typical day in my life is like.

I've enjoyed it so far but some features do frustrate me, For example unlocking weapon upgrades and masks is based on luck, I don't see the point in earning all that money and nothing to spend it on. (not talking offshore)

The AI is improved but still doesn't present much a of challenge, only in numbers.

Visuals are awful, put it on cryengine.
