I picked up Payday 2 for me and a few of my friends for the winter sale. It was only about $2.99 and i’ve heard good things about it. Me and one of my friends decided to boot it up ahead of the others. We know nothing about the game so figured having half of us have some semblance of an idea of what to do so we can guide the others would be a good idea. The screenshot is from my friend’s no Mercy loadout. He picked something only a “professional thief” would pick. This is what he chose.
We ended up fucking up the stealth and having to fight our way through the equivalent of an army just to get to patient 0. I loved the detail of the virus worsening over time. It was really seeing a piece of Left 4 dead like that in the game, even if it’s not cannon.
We also did the bank heist. I bought a silencer for my pistol so i went on ahead on the roof. There was a guard who patrolled the rooftop, so i crouched and waited to take him out where no one would see. My plan was to shoot him before he walked into the camera’s view. I spent a long time waiting.
Overall the game was a lot of fun. I’m excited to walk my other friends through how to play so we hopefully have a full party. Maybe then stealth will be easier so we can split resources and communicate better.
I loved the first one even though it‘s crazy punishing, I looked at the second one, saw a metric shit ton of dlc, and decided it‘s too big for me
Funny enough I also decided to skip straight to the third one, and let‘s say I wasn‘t too impressed, especially coming from the first game. Going from one cop lasering you down to a dozen cops doing a conga line around you taking a turn each to shoot a bullet at you is surreal. Completely different game.
“Remember, no pies.”
For a moment I thought this was Bad Guys at School.
I’ve been playing PD2 recently a bit as well again. Used to play a lot few years back (~1200 hours according to Steam). Lemme know if you want to play together or want some tips or tricks or something :)
