PAYDAY 2

Played some last night with randoms, was really bloody fun and intense, didn't play much of the first.

They have to fix FOV though, it is a joke

They are patching it, according to TB during his podcast last night they tweeted something along the lines off "We understand your concerns, but you do all understand what a beta means right? Thanks to everyone who has put across your concerns nicely, we will look into it".

They were made aware of it during their AMA, if people didn't complain they wouldn't have bothered, beta isn't the phase for adding things like FOV sliders.
 
Played the Beta last night, must admit the FOV was a bit of a killer - but overall, I have to say I'm pretty underwhelmed. :(

Granted, I'm not expecting wonders from a Beta... but the graphics seemed worse than the first, movement was slow and sluggish, weapon sounds were tinny and just... not impressive at all.

Granted, I know in Payday your first weapon the Amcar wasn't upgraded, but the main problem with it seemed to be running out of ammo, rather than an ability to kill anyone. I found I needed between 50/75% of a mag to down a single cop, unless I got lucky and managed to aim long enough for a headshot, without losing half my health in the process!

Also, the heist seemed very uninspired, and a very difficult map to work on given the area you had to cross with cops able to shoot from all sides behind cover, while you had none!

Hence despite being a reasonable FPS player, and being about level 180 in Payday, I failed the first heist twice, with another human player and 2 AI. There was a point where I'd been downed, and recovered by a AI player. Before I could get a mag into the assault rifle, I was down again because I was swarmed by cops. :(

Realistic perhaps... but this game has never really strived to be realistic!
 
Caved in and bought the Criminal edition......get paid tomorrow so feeling a bit flair :D


So far it seems much tighter than the first, I find the guns have more weight and the cops dont seem to soak up the bullets as much as the first. Echoes outside are nice.......however only completed 1 mission out of about 6 :confused:

Very impressed so far and I guess the full release will come around quickly, will be a bit gutted if they turn the BETA off well before the release.


Also just had to do a 50 meg update....couldn't connect to any games until I restarted
