[mXm] BOLD Edition Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 I had never heard of Payday 2 before you all mentioned it today. After watching this cinematic trailer I am definitely downloading it :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dvs8ZkiD2O4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[mXm] BOLD Edition Posted February 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 There is a Payday 2 web series on YouTube that is pretty good; five or six episodes that premiered on Gamespot: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwJ0tL8Fi-E Just follow the yellow brick road to the other episodes.

[mXm] BalzOnYer4Head Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 Nice find. I didn't realize this game had been out this long. Like I mentioned in the shoutbox, it is definitely fun. It also really requires teamwork for the online jobs. I guess they make the bots extra stupid when you play offline, because your bots arent that bright either and you have limited control of them. I was able to do a few missions on my own and it was doable. Soon as I got online with a four person crew, the difficulty got ramped up for sure. When Andy and I tried to do it on our own, it was way more difficult. I could blunder through (being a noob) the offline jobs, but Andy and I definitely needed to coordinate when we jumped online. Looking forward to playing more of this with more mXm! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[mXm] 404 Not Found Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 I read that this game made a profit even before it was released and sold up to 2 million copies. They have DLC for it where you can wear ex presidents masks... very cool. Check out the dev diaries on this game... you can tell they really enjoyed making this game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RzNlooT7aI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[mXm] BOLD Edition Posted February 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 I look forward to this with everyone; I downloaded it and went through what i'm guessing is some tutorial action. There is a "Day One" heist/mission I hadn't done, because I didn't want to offline anything. Is it best to try to do that for one or two missions before getting online with a group? Also, I didn't see an easy way to invite online friends to the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[mXm] Colt_Seavers Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 I played the first one and I thought it was fun but it is definitely a co-op game. I downloaded and patched the second one but I haven't tried it out yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[mXm] andy19 Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 I haven't done any of the offline missions yet, I just did the quick little tutorial then hopped right into online with Balz. I think it would be good to do a few missions offline just to get some money so you can buy different weapons/equipment. The stuff you start off with is a little lacking in the power department.

[mXm] Colt_Seavers Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 Yea, I think I'll start that today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[mXm] BalzOnYer4Head Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Online is where it is at. The pay outs are bigger, and as a lower level character you can get in on a higher level game and rack up the cash and exp. Plus you learn little tricks to make the job easier next time. I am def having fun with it and am just waiting for my mic to charge before I hop on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope to catch you soon though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[mXm] BalzOnYer4Head Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 No worries! I am on vacation all this week. Will have plenty of time to get up with some peeps and get our criminal on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[mXm] srans Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Man, I cant get enough of this game. Its so awesome. I definately agree that 4/coop is where its at. Now if i could only find 4 people with mics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[mXm] BOLD Edition Posted February 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 I have played once online and done at least one Day One heist; this is a very challenging game. How do you form up a crew though? I saw Ballz in game but couldn't figure out how to even get to him. Also I was level 2. The players on the grid were 40+!

[mXm] BalzOnYer4Head Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Its not real friendly like that. I usually make a room, set it to friends only, and send out invites. If you change the map to show friends only, it should then only show you jobs that are empty or people on your friends list are in. Then you simply can just drop in to our job in progress.

[mXm] srans Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 when you go to the crime.net, you can filter to "friends" and join their game... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[mXm] FlyersFan Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 So I downloaded this game and I'm missing something. I just tried it for the first time by doing offline missions. The missions take so long. It takes like 5 min to open a safe with the drill that keeps stopping. I guess practice will help but I'm thinking online would be way more fun.

Yeah it can get tedious like that. There are only x amount of varied missions so you have to play through the same 11 or whatever over and over. The PC version has more variety and all the DLC for it that I think would help. Hopefully they'll port some of that over to PS4 in the future, but I feel the PC is their priority at the moment.

[mXm] BalzOnYer4Head Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 The online is where it is at. The single player is very tedious. When you get online you can really have fun with it as there are many ways in which to pull a job off. You can go in "stealth", or guns a blazin, and with the different player classes, you can combine them. When you start getting up there in rank and start doing Overkill missions, that is where the real fun begins. Huge payouts, very difficult the AI, especially with the "bulldozers" (think juggernauts fro COD) show up. Team work is essential and it really is the only way to be successful in the higher payout missions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[mXm] FlyersFan Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 I have come across the bulldozers, not fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[mXm] BalzOnYer4Head Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 Takes a coordinated effort to bring a Bulldozer down. Usually now Srans will pop an ECM Jammer which apparently emits some sort of sound into the AI's headsets and stops em in their tracks. The Bulldozer will usually take his helmet off when that occurs. You can also use the trip mines against them, combined with well placed headshots with highpowered weapons. Was working with a good crew last night, Srans and I with some randoms. Big missions, BIG pay outs and HUGE EXP. I looked to see if you were on Flyers. We will play again for sure.
