Payday 2 GOTY steam sale..I dont get it

You get the game and most of the dlcs for £7. The dlcs are usually 2 or 5 when new which when there is that many gets you to £30.

I think most of the community imploded with their recent introduction of micro transactions.

Indeed. They can go **** themselves with their attitudes of late, regardless of trying to come to an agreement with unlocking in-game. They've lost 6 fans/players (me and my friends that play), and i'm sure a many more.
 
Even though I was a casual pop on and play person only playing once a month, I uninstalled after hearing about the paid items, don't want that shoved in my face while im casually playing.
 
The utter abundance of DLC locked behind a paywall is honestly abysmal. Sure, a few high-quality packs here and there are fine, considering the fairly reasonable price of the base game, but they went way overboard shovelling out half-baked ideas and unfinished content that barely functions correctly half of the time, even after years of release. Whole classes of weapons are locked to base game players. I usually don't condone "cheating", but just use a dlc unlocked script (...if you don't plan on playing with randomers, which I'd advised against in the first place.) You don't get banned as there's practically no anti-cheat put in place. The worst thing that can happen is that you'll have a "cheater" tag underneath your in-game name only viewable by the host. Really simple to install too, literally just a couple lines of LUA code and a script hook (drag n' drop) and you're good to go. I started using one when they introduce micro transaction where you can potentially unlock a skin for a gun you don't even own that is locked behind DLC (???). T'was the final straw and I caved in. Such a shame 'cause the actual game is really fun (albeit buggy and unpolished.)
 
The pure amount of DLC in this game always seemed bonkers, crazy they are even attempting micro-transactions in it is nuts.

I am pretty sure my group of friends who played it a awful lot stopped due to it.
 
The new skin + stat guns have put a lot of people of playing this. Caused a huge outrage last few weeks.
 
Honestly if you can get a small crew of friends together the gameplay itself is solid, it's the decisions at every other part of the process that are a problem.

The crew I play with on and off bought it at launch and we still struggle to keep on top of new mods and items at times. I'm not sure I can recommend any game with a storepage featuring the words "The 27th DLC Pack", especially when the infuriating random unlock system means it'd take forever for a new player to get some decent stuff together.
 
What is this game like? Worth getting??

Casual gamer so can you easily jump in and out of the game?

If you go online to play it definitely isn't casual friendly, unless you have three other friends to play with.

If you have less friends then the remaining spots get filled with bots who are basically just bullet sponges when mission trips an alarm. And useless for anything else. Could go online and have a random human fill remaining places, but game community has too much angst.
