Title: Payday 2 [Your thoughts]
Post by: Tym on Thu, 15 August 2013, 16:26:38
I have been playing it a fair bit and it seems like a good game, just wondering what other peoples thoughts are especially with the current online errors since the games release?

Also want to know what the biggest hauls [Highest amount of loot you've received so far]

Here is mine:

I'm gonna let this pass since it's yet another 4player co-op game and I'm barely playing the ones I have already.
First one got a bit of flak for being too much like L4D, how is this holding up?

It's enjoyable although I hope more is added, because it doesn't yet feel like a full game more like an indie title. I really hoped they would add a Verses (From l4d2) mode where you could play as the cops that would be so fun. There are a fair few glitches at the moment and I hope they are fixed soon. They did release a patch within the first couple hours which is both commendable and obviously a bit of a worry considering it was needed.

How is that a worry? No game has ever launched without bugs, all games could do with a patch, so the fact that they patch it so soon is purely positive I'd say, unless it was to patch out a flaw that should never have gotten past QA.

See I understand a game will have bugs, but it shouldnt have them, I don't want to buy a game with flaws, I dont want to buy anything with flaws. So it is a worry, although I'm more worried about this problem where many people can only play with others within their own country. Or peoples screen freezing when they use the mic, or people crashing out of game every couple of minutes.

@Beast, Beta keys wont get you in anymore, you need to buy it to play it.

Well duh, if everything was perfect it'd be great, but with a game on the scale that most people like their games nowadays(not text RPGs) you're going to have bugs no matter what. And when it comes to games I don't mind a few bugs, it's thanks to that we get things like insane speedruns of HL and HL2. And much good fun has come from exploiting bugs in Minecraft.

It sure does look fun but I was watching a stream the other day and people were putting money/coke/gun bags next to thin walls and then picking them up on the otherside thru the wall which was a bit disappointing. That's a huge bug :/

But it's the kind of bug you have to choose to take advantage of, if you don't exploit it then it's like it's not there. Unless you play with randoms, then I can see it becoming an issue.

I'm noticing a huge issue with recent games and that is that you need a decent friend's list to be able to play at all and have some fun.  Looks like I need to get some more gaming buddies!

That existed in Payday 1 as well, so it's not like the devs didn't know about it at this point.

Are there alot of errors?

And what about the online pairing, is it good or do you always end up with some idiotic noob?

I have been thinking of buying it, but havent gotten around to it, since I dont play that much on my PC right at the moment..

That was fixed ages ago, and I actually liked it.

Ah ok, I didn't play it for a while so I didn't really see the effects of some of the previous updates.

The server browser kinda got fixed but I'm still not really happy about how it turned out.
