cheers

top tier strat game 10/10

its a shame it crashes in multiplayer games so often but singleplayer is fun.

Shes alright

Unplayable. Used to able to but now when ever i join on online heist i disconnect. I uninstalled.

Also, i have a list of improvements they could make:

1: The drill. It always breaks down. It broke down 7 times for me once.
2: Getting spotted by a guard in stealth. Why do they sometimes shoot you on the spot? I mean i know this is an American game but still, thats pretty harsh.
3: Bot's Programming. The Assisting ai who opperate the other 2 Payday gang member during a loud mission need serious work. The dont shoot back when Tazers get them, they dont always take the direct route when you get downed, and sometimes stay to shoot the cops and let you go into custody. They lack motivation. They don't realise that if you d into custody the heist fails. Also, they never where armour. Ever. In Deathwish they die in about 20 seconds. Which makes it really annoying for those of us who dont have wifi all he time and cant use crime.net plz Fix.
4: Deployables. I think a bots character during a heists should have the deployable in their skill tree. Eg: Dallas should deploy a doc bag. Chains should deploy ammo bag. Hoxton should deploy first aid kits.
5: The game and all dlcs are overpriced. The only DLCs worth their high price are the heists. Most of them anyway.
6: Pagers. How come every guard hits the radio before they die. I mean come on. They don't even know they're dead. They take a bullet to the head but their hand managers to hit a radio in their pocket as the collapse lifeless to the ground. Maybe every 3rd time or something a pager can go off.
7: Camera Operators. They can't be looking at all the cameras at once. So how come no matter what camera you kill some one infront off, the camera operator sees.
8: Civs. They see something suspicious, run a few metres away and cower on the ground for all the see. Who does that? I mean what the Hell.

Great Game, but requires a good computer to run. The steam page states the minimun ram can be 4gb, which is all my laptop has and its a nightmare. Takes ten minutes to start the game up, another 5 to get into a server, taking around 3 attempts minimum, auto disconnecting from servers once every 15 minutes and taking another 5 to get back in. On large maps like Russia and Germany you'll never connect, they're just too big. Even singleplayer is rough, granted not as bad. I remember when i could launch the game and connect to a server within 5 minutes, it was quicker than csgo and tf2. But the more that was added to the game, it became slowler and slower. The Germany update did a number on it and now i can't play at all, even on pei, which is the smoothest and best made map in my opion, second to washington.

I'd recommend this game if you have 6gb of ram or over, otherwise don't bother. It's a shame i bought gold back when it was playable. 5 bucks i'm never getting back.

Regardless this game was made by a teenager and he didn't do too bad considering it was just him making the whole thing so can't really blame him.
