I wish there were more missions or more variety in gameplay, but it is damn addictive.

I had to turn the music off. That electro house tune breaks me after a while.

Nice changes. But this game is seriously taking up HD space
Nice to see the developers taking this game forwards. I hope to see more content.
This is definitely in my top 5 games of 2013.
It has that magic feel that Left for Dead 1 had when it first came out - full of action, a driving purpose to escape, and the tactics are superb. But most of all what impresses me are the guns. They feel just right, and getting an accuracy of over 50% is really satisfying.

A really good update. Liking the numerical values now.

Think I got 2 sets of pairs once but that does look extreme. 
Either that or it's the trailer for a terminator prequel

Think the game I joined earlier was bugged.
5 Bulldozers in 1 room.
After they beat 7 bells of **** out of me, another 5+ stormed through the room.
I hate it when that happens ._.

So, who has been spamming RATS on overkill for the XP? If you begin the game, this is the easiest way to get to lv 40ish in one go. Just rush it with zero Meth.

With the Halloween event drawing to a close soon, I have to applaud Overkill for doing a great job. I just wish there were more hours in the day or they extended it as I would have loved to got all the achievements too.

Anyone bought the new PAYDAY 2 DLC?
I bought the Armoured Transport DLC the other week in the sale, but im not getting this 2nd one until its in a sale too, i havent played it for a while as im not impressed with the elitism which seems to be dominating the direction of updates. I like playing on my own, or with a mate from time to time, and its just impossible when a gaggle of bulldozers come waddling along. I could play on easy, but im somewhere in the lv50-70 region (its been a while! mid-60s i think) and in terms of progress it'd be utterly pointless, it takes forever even on elite/overkill just to rank up 1, let alone the 5-8 or so needed for the next tier.
I dont object to it being made harder for people who play in a group, but its impossible when you're on your own with 2 AI who contribute nothing in terms of progressing through a level. They're meat shields with unlimited ammo, hide behind them and only shoot when you need to. The cant carry bags, they dont reset drills, drop ammo/health, they're a waste of space beyond the 'exploity' method above.
I think im correct in saying that the update gives grenades, and the DLC brings grenade resupply boxes? I can live with that, im not bothered about buying weapons, masks and patterns, i'd rather see new missions, although i havent even tried AT yet (waiting a while before going back). At least its not priced too harshly, 3.99 is reasonable, as is 4.99 for AT.
I like the game, i just wish that it wasnt inferior because im not playing with 3 others, and ive no interest in playing with randoms.

I would have purchased the DLC last night if the download was not terribly slow.
Think the best thing I will do is wait for a couple of DLCs that add new missions are released and either on sale or in a bundle. Then delete my character and start at the bottom again. Was fun leveling up intially and not having enough cash for everything. Only issue I see with this is getting booted from games for being low level but I prefer to host so it should be fine.
When AT I hosted with anyone and didn't try and grind out VH and OK missions. Was playing with players under lvl 30 and it was more fun helping them learn the mechanics and hiests.

Iv not played this in ages Going to get back into it this weekend
The game is a lot of fun, IMO. But playing is solo is a very frustrating experience because while there is AI the game can only do 2 AI so instead of being 4ppl your down a man. They cant interact with anything, so you're expected to carry all the bags of loot on your own, you have to blow/drill the safes, and they dont have the droppable ammo/health bag to either resupply you or keep you alive. They're just unlimited ammo wielding n00bs who seem to be able to take 10x more damage (and im possibly understating it) before going down. Oh and they can revive you, shooting and reviving is essentially all they can do.
Play the same game with a couple of mates or 3, and its fantastic.
I quite like playing MP games against bots rather than other people, but the problem with PD2 is there are a lot of mechanics involved in completing a mission, and having to do every single thing on your own means everything takes considerably longer. If you want to escape with say 8 bags of loot, you have to transport each bag to the getaway. It's a piece of cake if theres 2-4ppl doing it, its a nightmare doing it on your own.
Its a real shame IMO. Its like the game needs a tactical menu, a bit like the old SWAT games had, where you'd tell the others in the unit what to do. Fix the drill, grab a bag and get to the van, cover this area etc. Instead all you have is 'follow me'. Even with a mate and 2 AI they can be infuriating because they're not really much use.
