    Re: Payday 2

    I've logged 19 hours so far into Payday 2 and have gotten up to level 51. At this point I will probably stop playing for a while until somethings are fixed.

    -crime.net is awful. Payday 1 had a great server system. However in Payday 2, I find myself constantly waiting to find a heist and a challenging difficulty that I'm in the mood for.

    -The technician's C4 basically breaks the Ukrainian Job and Night Club. Ukrainian job now takes just 40 seconds and Night Club takes about 2 minutes all on overkill. A technician and an enforcer with a saw can dominate Four Stores in about 2 minutes. However farming these missions is what is required if you want any masks or weapons mods.

    -Probably my most pressing issue with the game (also with the beta) is the card drop system. I'm 19 hours in and I've still have not unlocked any other optic besides the red dot included in the pre order loot bag. I have 2 mods for the CAR4: a laser and a short barrel. The shotgun I use has a modded stock. I have about 5 masks, 10 designs, but only 1 color (solid brown). So in essence I can't customize my guns they way I want (hell I may never even be given the chance to unlock a new optic). I have masks and designs, but I only have one color which basically allows me to make one ugly brown mask. I have 8 of the same slides for the crosskill, but not one stock or suppressor for the CAR4. The random card drops suck and ruin customization.

    -The next problem is the card drop system only occurs at the end of a heist. So I'm better off farming Ukrainian Job, Four Stores, and Night Club because I get the same amount of mods doing a 40 second mission as a multiday hour long heist. What makes things even worse is that after beating RATS on overkill with 2 escape heists thrown in, and a 800,000 dollar payday.....I receive a 3,000 dollar card drop. So worthless.

    I'm actually really enjoying the game. Playing with a good crew is a lot of fun, however this game could use some serious revamping.

      I'll probably pick this up on 360 tonight.

        I'm gonna go check out Gamestop and pick this up.

        (If you send a friend request, just say OS in the message, or else I'll ignore it.)

        EDIT: Man, oh man. This game was nearly impossible to find around here. Best Buy and two different Gamestops didn't have it. The third Gamestop had a UPS truck pull up as I walked in and sure enough there was one non-reserved copy on it. Snagged it up quick and dipped.

          Apparently I won't be getting the game. It would appear the studio couldn't print enough copies and even preorders were under shipped. Unreal.

            I don't understand why this couldn't be a game that could be digitally purchased on XBL or PSN. I couldn't find any copies in my area today. Now, it looks like I'll have to either wait until next week to snag a 360 copy or download on Steam (which I'm getting dangerously close to doing).

              I've never not been able to give a company my money. Makes me second guess doing so.

                Minus the whole snag just getting my hands on this game, it's lived up to all expectations so far. Absolute blast to play with my guys. (Not trying to like rub it in or anything)

                  I got the ONLY copy my local Fred Meyer received today. Hit me up if you're looking to game on the 360. Gamer tag is dubplate.

                    My quick thoughts:

                    Crimenet? - Not the best thing but not the worst either. Waiting around for heists to scroll through or pop up is a pain in the butt, but if you know how to recognize stuff you want, you'll be OK.

                    Variety? - There isn't a whole lot unfortunately. If you are a lower level, you're better off playing the same 3 or 4 heists to earn cash and level up, which kind of blows, but I guess it's the hand were dealt. Hopefully as I level up, I can tackle some of the multi-day heists and bigger jobs.

                    Solo play? - Don't you do it Carl! This game is literally built with no single player play in mind. If you're brave enough to try, your AI crew will do nothing but return fire while being meat shields. They can not be ordered to cuff people, pick up bags, or really do anything. Unless I haven't found a way to get them to do much.

                    My advice? - The game is a blast playing with people who actually know what they are doing or at least attempt to understand the game and how it should be done. At this time, if you're just starting out, don't get frustrated. Level up and earn cash on jobs that are labeled "Normal". If you try to tackle a "Hard" job, you're asking for failure.

                      No copy in stock at any GameStop, bull moose, target, Walmart or best buy within 10 miles from my house... I really would have bought this on pure impulse, but I guess this shipment problem saved me 40 bucks.

                          I just heard about this game yesterday. Looks pretty crazy. I might give in even though there's a lot of games coming out soon I want.

                            Also I don't have a clue as to what i need to be doing. Gonna snag a cold one and buckle down and enjoy the ride
                            Really? I watched a gameplay trailer on 360. I thought it looked a bit like CoD. Not saying it was great, but I wasn't expecting this kind of reaction. Maybe the footage was from a pc?

                              You've been warned. If you are buying it based off graphics you will be disappointed. Now buying it for gameplay is another story

                                Thanks for the heads up. But after reading how hard it is to get a copy and how difficult it is solo I might pass or at least wait a while.
