"Payday: The Heist isn’t a very deep multiplayer game, but it’s impossible to deny that it’s fun. Things can feel almost scripted on the lower difficulty levels, but enemies become intelligent on Hard and Overkill difficulties, and you need to pay attention and work together with your teammates as far as possible. It’s fast paced and exciting, but disappointingly not as creative as I would have hoped based on the promotional material. Still, it’s worth a try for any fan of co-operative first person shooters."
Free PC games this week include XCOM Enemy Unknown, Payday: The Heist, Aliens vs Predator 2000, Crash Time 2 and more.
In celebration of reaching 1.5 million members on Payday 2's official Steam community group, Overkill is releasing Payday: The Heist completely free for 24 hours starting October 16th, 2 days ahead of the originally planned date - October 18th.
The game will be free to download/keep, and will stay in your Steam library as long as you claim it within the specified 24 hour window.
So last time, the Payday 2 community was just short of 1,000,000 players and we were given 3 months roughly to gain 500,000 more! A rather large and daunting task, one I didn’t believe was possible, I am, however, beginning to change my tune on that.
I'll be glad to see an introduction of MORE infamy bonuses. It's still majorly unfinished.
A PS4 version would of been prime after the Hardline delay, but no one expected that.
It is but CrimeFest might not actually apply to PS4 & X1 so I didn't feel comfortable adding those channels to this article.
Some of it will arrive probably - free DLC, masks etc. But Overkill are being slow on Console DLC's, this might be fought with the CrimeWave Editions (just package the DLC with the base game) - but other things in CrimeFest won't make the Consoles e.g. Free Payday The Heist, that's soley PC I believe so console owners won't prosper from that.
EDIT - correction Payday The Heist IS on PS3 but that still wont reach X360, PS4 or X1 most probably.
Fairing better than I thought it would. Still, with such a crowded shooter market, I'll be giving this one a pass.
Looks decent, but it's going to be lost in the holiday crowd.
looks good but a little too realistic for me.
It's faring worse in review scores than I expected. Got a lot of praise at E3, and looked pretty unique compared to the rest of the titles in the genre. Guess they just failed to build on the potential they showed off at E3.
Is this game ever coming to UK?
If it released three weeks ago when it was supposed to, I would have definately bought it.
However, I just bought Arkham City, next is Battlefield 3 then after that is Uncharted 3 and I'm liking the look of Infamous 2: Festival of Blood aswell, so I can't see me getting this game now and being mainly an online coop game means that if you don't get it at or close to release there's no point in getting it at all.
