Summary

Put a crew together for the second entry in the thrilling heist shooter PayDay. Don the masks of the original PayDay crew -- Dallas, Hoxton, Wolf and Chains -- and descend on Washington D.C. for an epic crime spree. The new CRIMENET network in PayDay 2 offers a huge range of dynamic contracts and players are free to choose anything from small-time convenience store hits or kidnappings, to major league cyber-crime or emptying out major bank vaults for that epic PAYDAY. While in D.C., why not participate in the local community and run a few political errands?

Up to four friends co-operate on the hits and as the crew progresses the jobs become bigger, better and more rewarding. Along with earning more money and becoming a legendary criminal comes a new character customization and crafting system that lets crews build and customize their own guns and gear.

Sure after a while it can get boring, but thats why a payday 3 would be great because they could do a lot more. I played nothing but this game for a month straight. Its a worth while game to play if your bored of all your current games and no new game are coming out.

Though it won't win any "Best of" awards, and the potentially disturbing content won't make this game a parental pick, Payday 2: CrimewaveThough it won't win any "Best of" awards, and the potentially disturbing content won't make this game a parental pick, Payday 2: Crimewave Edition offers a lot of bang for the buck. It's not worth picking up if you already own the previous game, unless you really want to play it on newer consoles, and there are other issues, but it proves fairly fun when playing with online friends. There are new heists, such as "The Big Bank," "The Butcher," and "The Dentist," all of which are loaded with safe cracking, loot stealing, hostage taking, shooting, and vandalizing. There's also a new perk system and skill tree for greater character customization, a new pre-planning feature to prep strategies prior to missions, and nearly 100 weapons and almost 150 customizable masks. The co-op experience is gratifying, as is the progression/XP system and the healthy number of character slots to choose the right team for the job. The game's music soundtrack also is worth noting.That said, there are assorted issues, such as graphical bugs -- awkward character models, "clipping" issues (where players can get half a character's body stuck in a wall or safe), and fallen enemies that seem to float in the air instead of fall to the ground. There also are some single-player A.I. problems, where your computer-controlled teammates disregard the objectives and do whatever they want. But if you can overlook these issues and you're a fan of this genre, Payday 2: Crimewave Edition is a decent bank-robbing action game at a decent price; otherwise, this might not be right for you.Another issue to note is the recent spate of violent crimes against law enforcement officials in multiple areas. Make no mistake, you will shoot cops. And to some mentally disturbed individuals, this is a perfect "cop killing simulator" and personally, i feel like games like Grand theft auto, and Payday give the impression that killing cops is o.k. It's an o.k game, but one full of technical glitches, a terrible player base, and an just awful premise.

Payday 2 which is obviously a multiplayer game is missing the major piece... a working matchmaking. Not only is this completely unforgivablePayday 2 which is obviously a multiplayer game is missing the major piece... a working matchmaking. Not only is this completely unforgivable so long after it's release but so much more so after so many promises from the developer on twitter to fix the issues. In addition, they are introducing micro-transactions to a game that doesn't even work properly. Buy this game only if you are partial to theft and sodomy.
