PAYDAY 2

Great game, great verity of weapons, load outs, skills etc. Really makes every heist feel different from the last. Running whatever build you want or one that suits the mission or your play style is super fun and gives the game so much more replay value. Great single player experience but is even more fun with friends. Definitely glad I bought this game.

good game

Great game, Havn't played Payday 3 but I don't really plan to with how much fun I'm having in this game lol

I prefer going loud in the missions but the highest difficulty I've done is "Very Hard" so that might change in higher difficulties.

Only 1 negative i can say is the amount of recoil some guns have is insane to me and the recoil pattern is hard to follow(to mitigate the recoil effects on your aim)

Overall a fantastic game and I'd highly recommend it to anyone who's thinking about picking this game up. Definitely worth the price and the DLCs, even tho I don't like DLCs, are also worth but make sure to get the ones with missions first then get the rest, that's what I recommend.

11/10 would recommend again.

Crashes sometimes and you need like 20 dlc's to play the game but to be fair there only like 1$ each.

a love story about 4 mens and their inability to buy a drill that is working properly


also don't buy payday 3.

pros: Insane how this game creates the best gameloop i have ever seen, with incredible characters, furry mods

cons: I cannot play the game because diesel and win11 dont work together like dumptruck and my face

PAYDAY 2 is life baby. This game has so much content, takes a casual player at least 1 year to get infamy 100 and get all achievements. And for 13 Canadian bucks? That's a steal.

absolutely fantastic, some of the best fun i've had. so many weapons & skills to choose. probably better with friends [idk, i've only played solo thus far] 10/10

Payday 2—on console, it’s an absolute blast. Nothing beats the thrill of a heist, getting in and out with your crew, and feeling like a criminal mastermind. But let’s be honest, the game’s pretty arcadey. You can get into an epic shootout with the cops and somehow survive without a scratch, which kind of breaks the immersion.

And honestly, there’s no real competition for the third installment—it’s just not on the same level. Payday 2 has that perfect mix of chaos and strategy, but Payday 3? Feels a little too much like it’s trying to be something it’s not. Still, the fun is real, even if it’s a bit over-the-top.

Got this game while it was on sale, 100% worth it, only complaint is I should have bought it for full price,

dogshit stealth that makes me wanna rip my eyes out and commit manslaughter on the nearest homeless man however the loud gameplay is so fucking good that i wanna give that same homeless man CPR even though hes already been decapitated and has no pulse holy shit im going to jail bro

very limited avenues for the objectives, takes too long for an episode in the career mode, there's always an error while trying to play in the online mode

They looked at this game and said it was too unrealistic and then made it again but worse

Mind you this games canon opening mission went down in its worlds history as the biggest case of grand larceny at the time

hehe funny man wants a medic bag (In all seriousness, its a great game, the gameplay, the heists, the customizablity, the lore (actually we don't talk about the lore), it all comes together to create a game that has come as close as humanly possible to perfection, all that ON A GAME ENGINE MADE FOR A RACING GAME.
Truly a masterpiece of all time.

A million different ways to play, I highly recommend this for anyone who loves fast paced tactical shooters, or if you'r interested in stealth instead, this game has that as an option too. When I say millions, I mean that, this game has so much content and it's all really fun and well made.

The stealth is fun, loud would be fun too if I was any good at cover based shooters. I'm too stubborn to play anything below Death Sentence. The game has quite a large level of skill expression for all aspects of the game, but the stealth is where the game truely shines, imo.

The stealth is definitely super buggy, and many players may get frustrated at 1 mistake cascading into an unsalvageable mess forcing you to restart, but to me that's most of the fun. The stealth maps are designed in a way where if you go in with a proper strategy and knowledge of the map, you can make strategic kills to make different areas safer to make transporting loot effectively risk free. That or if you learn which guards patrol where, you can easily keep track of where the guards are and eliminate all risk with just good routing. The process of learning this can be a bit frustrating, but going from taking heists very slowly, to being able to skirt around guards confidently is super satisfying. The game allows you to do "fast paced" stealth, which truly makes you feel like a legendary thief out of fiction.

In a similar sense, loud (at the highest difficulty) has a similar sense of progression. I found that learning different mechanics in loud, and learning the spawns on different heists contributed the most to being able to somewhat handle the mode. I can imagine with more time and a bit more skill, I would enjoy loud a bit more. Loud plays as a hoard based shooter, and on high difficulties, a hoard based cover shooter, where you need to be out of enemy line of sight to let your armor regen, which prevents you from getting oneshot. If your armor gets broken? Go back in cover and let it regen. There's other perks/skills that help break this gameplay loop, for example some "classes" allow you to stun all guards in your line of sight, some turn the damage you take in a damage over time affect that you can mitigate by not taking damage for a bit, some help regen armor, some gives you a chance to dodge, etc. There's also a skill that lets you regen armor by shooting a head. If you actually take the time to learn these mechanics and playstyles properly, the highest difficulty of loud is quite feasible. If that sounds too difficult, the lower difficulties are just as fun, and play more like a hoard shooter. All the heists are quite fun, with lots of variety. Where one you might burn a giant hole into a vault room, the other may have you hijack a car thats on display, and send it flying through locked doors. This adds quite a bit of replayability to the overall loud gameplay loop in general.

Anyways if you're looking for a criminal roleplay game, this covers both the stealthy and very non stealthy sides fairly well.

aside from the constant crashing this game is GREAT!!!
MUST BUY BUY IT ITS OS GOOD BUY IT
i like the game

I used to enjoy this game a lot long time ago.
Have returned after a while and now I find this game literally unplayable with the way it randomly freezes in a mid-game and kicks all your buddies.
Found no fix of this problem, there are plenty of players having the same issue though.
Not worth bying at the moment.

My 1st heist ever and it's an absolute blast playing it even with randoms. The replayability points is high and the amount of builds you can try are vast. And to make it even better are the music and voice acting of characters in the game being absolute banger

Fun game, even more fun with friends! Great way to relieve stress, even though sometimes it can be stressful to play (not in a bad way) 😁 Works great with keyboard & mouse; for some reason the game is slightly glitchy with certain game controllers.

Yes very good game graphics are the best well not the best but u know its really good and i fucking love the game jjust everything about it even the missions like the efford they put in this game is crazy and very recomended i think u wont regret buying i play this alot now since i just got it i have played 2h allready get this game if u dont allready have and lov ethe gun phisics and sorry if my text has some issues cus im not american im in europe i hope i dont have text issues but this game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this game has many points which i really like.
- the gunplay is very good
- the gun customization is very fleshed out
- theres a huge variety of playstyles
- a lot of different heists with different objectives
- great soundtrack

but, sometimes playing heists all day can be a little repetitive and theres quite a bit of grinding required to unlock all the perk decks.

i played it with mods and shit keeps crashing whenever it wants but if u dont want to use mods then it shouldnt crash that much

placing drills, fixing drills. Perfect. Bad optimization but runs great. Some heists make my pc overheat lol and lastly there is SO MUCH DLC. like 75% of the game is dlc. Its fun to play with friends

i like shooting the police and also doing the stealth and alaso doing the thing when u get the money and then go to the van and win!!! is that such a crime?(yes)

Peak game truly. I,ve had alot of fun playing this game alone and even more fun with friends. I dont mind that some heists are dlc required since basically every dlc adds something fun and unique. I love the safe house aswell and upgrading it even tho it gives me nothing in return

In short: Great game with alot of stuff to do

(FUCK THE TRAIN HEIST)

PD2 is plagued by horrible balancing, optimization problems and constant crashing. Still, it's one of the most fun games you can play. All the little gameplay quirks, weird mechanics, bizarre story and the unbelievably dedicated community make this game a complete masterpiece and I don't think its charm will ever be captured by another title. The progression you make by learning how the mechanics work is one of the most rewarding experiences I've had with any videogame. Overkill truly caught lightning in a bottle with this flawed masterpiece.

not worth the grind and hundred plus cash to get every thing

This game has hard crashed my experience for the last time. My game freezes right in the middle of a heist which then forces me to hard reset my computer. I can't Alt+F4 it no matter what. Just freezes my screen.

This has happened numerous times and have tried to uninstall, reinstall files, lower graphics settings, and took to every Reddit post I can find. And I am done with it. Not worth any money, not even on sale. Screw this game and the devs who made it.

Also, for the record, I run no mods at all and this problem still happens constantly.

add cross play too console and its one of the best games but other than that it rivals the new title

Good game. Wish I had a crew to play with. Still fun to play on my own.

Love the game had it on xbox 360 then got it on ps4 and ps5 and now pc that makes it so much better. Game is worth it

A game you can have almost infinite replay ability with all the weapon and perk combos

very good game, you can almost rob everything very realistic too and u don't need a high end computer

I peronaly dislike the game. The game is good for the first 10 hours after that it becomes repetitive.

my favorite payday, I really like the difficulty and how you feel small in the world, iconic music and the bosses are well made please give the dlc a chance you can't miss artorias whether you get it on sale or not this is a game you should try at least once

One of the best games I've ever played. Year after year I come back to it and still enjoy the hell out of it. Too bad the third game isn't better than this

Absolutely love this game, It will always hold a special place in my heart, the gameplay is so much fun with friends and the story is super interesting, I've never found this games equal in terms of replayability and I love hopping on with friends.

this game is slow to start but once you get started you cant stop i love this game i've already spent $20 on it and i barely have 9 hrs on it

shooting up cops, hitting them with a spoon that's comically large, needing medic bag? Seems like fun

Best heisting game i've played, varying loadouts to the point you can use anything and you'll still have fun while doing well. You get ptsd from cloakers. Even though its old its still one of the best hoard shooters i've ever played

one of the best progression and class building systems in a 4 player co-op shooter allowing a decent amount of variety but overall game play may get repetitive since you mainly shoot guys and fix drills but some heists and maps i hold very close to my heart. cough cough hotline miami, counterfeit, cook off and some others i forget the names of.

I played this game about three years ago and came back to finish the heists I hadn't had time to complete. Payday 2 is still really good! It’s not the best game out there—it has some bugs, quirky mechanics, and balance issues, especially at the highest difficulty—but the average player probably won’t notice them.

But for the price, it’s a great deal. It’s a lot of fun, has a bunch of great maps with randomized layouts, different modes, and tons of skills and build variations. Whether you want to start the meat grinder or go full stealth, this game has you covered.

Payday 2 is a fun experience to play especially online either with strangers or your friends......the heists are interesting while the difficulty can be a struggle.....the only complaint that I have with this game is getting the weapons I wanted to use and the grinding can be tedious....but if you ignore it and just have a good time shooting down cops and robbing banks. Its overall a fun time.

its a fun game playing solo and if you play multiplayer it become fun and goofy

The game play was very indulging and interactive fun game would play again.

Originally got it because I was looking for cheap VR games. I didn't like it at first because of the VR controls. But became addicted to it on flat-screen. THEN I found a mod that fixes the VR controls. Now it's one of my favorite VR titles. Hopefully they bring VR to payday 3!

A couple hundred hours played? still don't understand the overall game mechanics, there's a lot to explore in the community, highly recommended for those who are willing to sell their souls

Even though this is an old game, it is still a masterpiece of thievery. A lot of levels, (half are locked behind DLCs, which is ass), many different weapons and ways to customize your heister. Wish you good luck on your next job.

Very fun game with a lot of content to explore. You can go in stealth or loud depending on the mission and your playstyle. Each contract is so unique with very cool objectives and locations. The only downside is the AI movement sometimes. When you have a hostage and want to move them, it can get a little aggravating but nothing a little patience cant beat. Totally recommend even after coming back years later form an alt account.
