Payday 2

[Teal]

Anyone heard of this one? This looks exceptionally cool. It's got the 4 player, L4D co-op style, but you're planning and carrying out bank robberies and the like. There's nothing 'scripted' so no two playthroughs are the same. Here's a video walkthrough. It's listed at GS for 39.99 in August. I think this would be a great DSP game night game.

The original is on XBLA and PSN. It was free for PS+ users and I downloaded it. It is a fun game. Never tried co-op though. Check out the original on XBLA.

Looks awesome.. I'd be game!

I played the 1st one on the PC a lot with 3 other guys. It's fun but I only played it co-op never alone with ai.

I don't see it on XBLA...

[Danimal]

The first one was only PC and PS3 I believe so I think Scoop is wrong here.

[Spooky]

I'm very intrigued.

This one drops in a little over a week. I'm interested in knowing who is going to be purchasing it. It's coming in at a low 39.99, and it looks like a great segue from L4D series.

So...anyone?

I'll probably grab it.

[Teal]

Anyone else? I have it preordered, but this is the type of game I only want to play with friends. C'mon, its only 40 bucks people!!

Since Blacklist is coming out the following week, I am passing on this for now.

This video is shorter, and does a good job of summing it all up. I'm really looking forward to this one, and believe all my old L4D compadres should definitely pick this one up. It highlights stealth, communication, and teamwork.

Here's a review:

Pretty much everything I expected, which is why I've been attempting to get some of the old L4D gang to get on board with this one. This sounds AWESOME with 3 friends, but I'm not gonna pull the trigger if I can't get some participation. I really think we're gonna miss out on something good if this one is passed over.

39.99...surely there are some takers...

Really is sounding positive...

This game seems to be getting good buzz.

If there's a group here that gets it I'll join in. Otherwise I may look into getting it on PC.

[Teal]

I preordered l, so I'm ready to dive in. Just hafta go to the store and get it.

[Spooky]

Very tempting but with my limited time and the new Splinter Cell coming next week I may have to pass.

[RogueWar]

I'd have to agree with Spooky. Even at $39.99 with Splinter Cell coming out next week, I'm not sure that I would play it enough. It's only $29.99 on steam and if you buy a 4 pack and split it it's down to $22.50 which is almost half the Xbox price.

[Teal]

Well, ultimately I passed too, for the same reason cited here...splinter cell. This IS one that I will revisit at some point, but there's little need in spending 40 bucks and playing it for a week...lol. I took that cash and preordered GTA V instead. That sounds like its gonna get a large following here.

I am on the last legs for the Fifa and NHL 13 games, may just trade those games for it. I saw some very nice Co-op games on you tube. Pre-ordered SC too but for $40 I may just bite the dust.

[Pete1210]

Gamestop has this on sale for $20 in store and online. Amazon has also matched the price.

I picked up the 360 version at Gamestop this morning. I've read its not worth playing with AI; you need 4 players for a good co-op experience.

If I can find 3 others looking to give this a go I'll try it, otherwise its going back.

Edit 12/2- Guess this ship has sailed. I returned it.

[Pete1210]

Anyone want to give this a go on PS3 now that its free for PS+ members?

[FifaInspected]

Pete.. If we can get a group together i'll give it a shot.
