Payday: The Heist

**PanzerJaeger** · 10-25-2011, 13:56

2008 graphics, a console port, completely implausible body counts, and somehow a rip off of both L4D and the movie The Town... and yet, I'm addicted!

The heists(maps) are really well thought out and interesting, the horde AI is reasonably intelligent, the progression system keeps things interesting with new weapons and equipment, and there is actually some variability to the heists and the way the AI reacts - which helps replayability. Plus the developers have promised plenty of DLC including new heists.

I do feel like, with just a bit more attention and focus on the PC side, this really good game could have been great, but I definitely feel like I've gotten my $20 out of it. Anybody else enjoying the game?

More like a rip-off of Heat, but yeah. It looks interesting. I might pick it up eventually.

Its actually a lot of fun. If you have a group of friends to play with you can have some insane moments on the harder difficulties. On overkill cops are accurate, they flank, they know how to cover each other. Your team needs to do the same to live. Normal is a bit easy and hard is pretty good.
