XMMORPG Writes:
I purchased PayDay 2 a few days after its original launch and despite its many problems at a core level, I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The cooperative approach to objective-based FPS missions is a fresh approach amidst the flood of competitive-based action in the likes of Call of Duty and Battlefield but embracing the competitive nature of today's top FPS games may not have been such a bad idea after all.
GB: "Of course, Payday 2 has had its fair share of ups and downs as well, in spite of the success that it has enjoyed. For starters, the disparity between the game’s PC and console versions is a major issue that plagued the game for years on end, thanks to the frustrating optimization issues across platforms brought about by the Diesel Engine, which the game was developed on."
Payday 2 launched 10 years ago today, and a constant stream of updates still makes it worth playing ahead of Payday 3.
Starting today, Payday 2 is free at Epic Games Store. The free game offer runs until June 15. Once you claim it, it's yours to keep.
I think we need more co-op specific games.
I bought Contagion today, during Steam sale, and was quickly reminded just how much more rewarding I find well done co-op experiences over the normal competitive online games that we, let's be honest here, have an over-abundance of.
No thanks. We have too many versus shooter games. Out of this whole PS3 era, the Borderlands games were probably the funnest games I ever played because of the co-op. Its great playing versus people, but its even better playing with them because you can still compete with your teammates for most kills, points, etc.
VS is a bad idea, the ai sux but that's why theres online players out there. For the ai they should add a command list or something, order them to do stuff.
No, No it doesn't what it needs I that update that still isn't out yet on Xbox thank You Microsoft you bums.
Didn't Kane & Lynch have a Cops vs Robbers MP mode? Payday 2 has many similarities with L4D, so an MP versus could work, if they played as the special cops. Although, half the time they're not even on the map and really how fun would the taser guy be to play as? Not very.
I think there could do with being some more big versus shooters out there with more asymmetrical design. Although TBH in Payday 2, it would take more effort to develop than it'd really be worth, fine tuning the balance would be a nightmare.
