Title: PAYDAY 2
Platform: PC, Xbox 360, Playstation 3
Genre: First-Person Shooter, Strategy?
Online Interaction: Co-op
Story: Continuing from the first game, you finally come out of retirement of your heisting days from PAYDAY: The Heist. Now in Washington DC with new gear, new contracts and new money. Better start making some hits to reassure this retirement will be longer and more luxurious.
This game, THIS GAME is fun, "You'll never have more fun being the bad guy", stamp it, see it on a shirt, I am all in for this game. With improvements from the first game with character customization, weapon mods and more, this game brings it up more than a few notches, it was pretty high up already too. Get a group of good friends and then try and do missions to not get caught, you will be entertained for HOURS. I would sing the praise of this game from mountain tops and high buildings but I'll save you all the boredom of my opinion [even if this is a review and a personal rating]. Improvements from the first game are mask customization so you're not longer just Hoxton or Wolf, it's a bit more personal. With a more heavily weighed shift to stealth it makes the game even more interesting stealing someone blind and them not even knowing till you're gone! But just cause it did that doesn't mean you cant just run in guns-a-blazing [there's actually an achievement for finishing a mission in 35 seconds or faster]. With improved skill tree you can be multiple classes and your gun mods can be from sights and barrel extensions like silencers or even ones to make them louder to silly things like flashlights and diamond covered grips for your handgun. Smarter AI, possibility of getting caught after a heist is over and missions with multiple routes make the game change each time. I'm telling you, YOU NEED THIS GAME
Rating: 90/100
Reason: Best game ever, solid, fun, changing. But the low rating is, this game takes quite a bit to run [on PC], I can run quite a bit of games from medium-highest graphics easily. This game though, I have to drop it so far down just to play and I still get lower than 15 frames a second and when you're on overkill difficulty on a pro job, you need those frames for aiming. But even with that penalty I can't stop playing, seriously "You'll never have more fun being the bad guy". Get the game, get some friends, this is a guarantee "you'll be talking about this later" game or even playing it more, don't let the rating fool you, it's a "general" rating, if my computer would be better at running it I'd probably have given it a silly rating like 101/100. But I have to remember that not everyone has a computer that can run like a supercomputer. Overall, just try the game, it's fun and one last time "You'll never have more fun being the bad guy".
