Man, I loved PayDay, an extremely fun co-op game. I hope they push themselves even further with whatever content they're coming up next.

TheRacingX4347d ago

I agree, great game AND I got it for the cheap being a PS+ member. playing online though you have to have headsets, it just adds to the tension when you're all chattering trying to help everyone stay alive in firefights...

BraveToaster4347d ago

The first one wasn't even worth my time to download during the freeweekend...

AgreeFairy4347d ago

I thought the first one was ok (although the game froze at the point where it was saving the game causing all progress to be lost).

For the second one they should have the progress be saved server side to avoid those types of issues and they should make the game less frustrating (and by that I mean sending wave after wave of enemies after you when you don't have many medic bags or such). I'd be fine with the waves of enemies as long as there were checkpoints where you could refill on health & ammo along with whatever you're carrying with you (as what you carry with you could be emergency supplies). That would at least make playing on the harder difficulties more fun.

Another round of layoffs: 505 Games closes in Spain, France and Germany

The news that Digital Bros. (and its publishing subsidiary 505 Games ) is in the process of restructuring is not new. It was last November when, in the midst of the maelstrom of layoffs in 2023, they announced that they were laying off 30% of the workforce , especially employees belonging to the development studios. This restructuring, like the international maelstrom, seems to be still underway and now affects the offices of the Italian multinational located throughout Europe.

505 Games Says 'It’s fine to secretly like Crime Boss: Rockay City'

505 Games has issued a very self-aware satirical update for Crime Boss: Rockay City, given the poor reception to the game.

shinoff2183148d ago

I would of checked it out but far as i know its an online gta5 type game. Had it been single player inwouldve bought I to try by now

FyBy146d ago

I play it as a single player from the start. Game is massively updated. Its much better than when it started. But has its flaws of course. And its not gta 5 type game. Its totally different. Here, it is something like heist centered defender of the crown mixed with rogue lite genre. Definitely worth it.
Of course with some friends, it would be much more fun.

Christopher147d ago

Trying to gaslight us into thinking people are hiding that they like it.

isarai147d ago

Exactly what I was thinking 🤣

coolbeans147d ago

Points for the self-awareness though.

Yui_Suzumiya147d ago

I'd rather play this then GTA, lol

mastershredder147d ago

It's no secret that it won't flush. It's pathetic and something just about every actor on that roster will likely not mention with serious excitement or promote it themselves. The cringe is the talent that went snuggling up to it for the $$$ opportunity. So lame and backyard buddy homebrew-level feeling. Total cash grab. Minimum efforts all around. Nice Hollywood reverse engineering a plot based on their talent pool to carry a game into lame territory.

ModsDoBetter147d ago

Game was ass.
Bought it to give it a try and it was beyond dead, as was the discord server.
Impossible to play online.

The Rise of Payday and Its Fall

GB: "Of course, Payday 2 has had its fair share of ups and downs as well, in spite of the success that it has enjoyed. For starters, the disparity between the game’s PC and console versions is a major issue that plagued the game for years on end, thanks to the frustrating optimization issues across platforms brought about by the Diesel Engine, which the game was developed on."
