This console generation has been littered with first person shooters, many of them mediocre in quality and lacking in features to make it worth a 60 Dollar price tag. Payday: The Heist is a game that may have been put in that category but it did the first thing it needed to do correctly - the price-point. At 20 Dollars, this downloadable gem is worth everyone's money, just don't steal it!
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.
pretty decent game for what it was worth. i enjoyed it.
Yeah it's a great game for $20. Really glad they made it.
Yep, great for $20, look forward to the DLC heists and masks.
