This game is coming out on Aug 13. It's a bank heist/RPG/skill tree game that should be awesome. Payday 1 was one of my favorite co-op FPS games, and Payday 2 looks like it'll improve on just about everything. If you haven't played the first one and have friends to co-op with, it's definitely worth picking up during the Steam sale. It's probably the most difficult game I've played in the past decade +, and you actually have to put it on easy for quite a while until your character is good enough to play on normal.
Payday 2

- Start date
Friend sent me this as a gift the other day on steam. Had never played the first one but the info I could find on the second looks pretty damn good. Looking forward to playing this when it comes out.
Playing with 2 friends since steam sale and it is fun. Kinda wish they had taken the heist aspects a little deeper. There is too little interaction possible with hostages or the police for example. No car chase on any of the maps (don't have DLC). Besides robbing and shooting a place up these two aspects were first in my mind when I read the "Heist" title. Other that these disappointments it is a fun L4D type coop shooter.
We keep getting stuck under that bridge on Heat Street. It's just a never ending wave of police and we have trouble moving forward. The more we wait the worse it gets with ammo and health depleting. We got through a couple times but cant remember what we did differently. Any tip?

Heat Street is by far the most difficult heist. My friends and I stopped played Payday 1 a couple months ago because we all got max level, but we basically never did that heist, and I think only completed it 2 or 3 times. The fastest way to level up is by doing the "overdrill" easter egg. You need 4 players though; can't play with the computer, so you might need to get a random person to join.
Not sure I am going to worry much about leveling up. We've just played a couple days and completed all the maps on normal. It felt like the perfect amount of challenge. We'll probably do a few on hard and call it quits. Unless overkill brings fresh gameplay somehow I doubt I'll play this very long. Perfect amount of fun for the sale price but there just is not enough content to drive me to farm levels.
Yeah its leaving me wanting. Its ok but just really shallow given all they could of done with it.
I personally love the game. I used to play several hours of L4D2 every week, and I can see this replacing that for me. Payday 2 is pretty much the game I wanted Payday to be.
Anyone want a beta invite?
Sorry all! Heriotze was the first one to ask me for an invite, so I gave it to him.

Have to move fast and hard really. If you can get someone who he a really good shot they can cover the rest of the teams approach. Just move from cover to cover and attack.

Likely buy it soon anyhow and will pass along my extra beta key. Loved the first one but without a dedicated group I rarely beat a map.

Ya, ironically enough a group of us were talking on skype today about buying it and playing it later today. We have 4 so we are looking forward to going crazy.

This is really fun so far. I've been unlucky enough to be in some pretty bad groups. Everything is going great during the robbery and drilling the safe and then when we start bagging the cash 2 guys run off in different directions while 1 starts picking safety deposit boxes.
