Payday: Heist Delayed

Like I said in the other thread, this game looks interesting, but I'm not touching it until some reviews come out. It looks like the type of game that could be very easy to ruin if it isn't done right.
 
From the previews I read from people who played it, it seems to be pretty positive impressions across the board. Plus it is pretty cheap so no worries here.
 
I think it's good news. With Dark Souls and Rage releasing today, it could have been a great game but it was going to get overlooked.
 
yeah i noticed the price right away and added it to my steam wishleast. the concept is interesting at the least. I do remember reading an article that they copied L4D and were ok with that. But who hasnt copied who these days :)
 
A game of this type is something I cannot pass up - bought a 4 pack for my friends and I after watching the video on Steam. :D
 
This is going to make a fantastic LAN game, especially when we're drunk and messing about :)

On a similar note, been playing through Kane and Lynch on the PS3 with my brother, that's been cool with a fun bank heist right near the start, you split up and one covers the lobby while the other goes down in to the vault, they play some really cool tricks on you in that level.
 
Gonna sound cliche but I feel alot better about blowing 15-20$ on a game like this than $60 on game who shall not be named.
 
Game seems like it might be a lot of fun initially but it will lose re playability after a few days/weeks similar to left4dead.

L4D1 & 2 had tons of replayability. I've put many hours into both and can still pick either up and have a great time.

It looks like that is exactly what they are aiming for. I hope they do a good job and I am optimistic (which is rare these days with pc games).
 
This looks pretty neat. Tempted to buy it. Sorta want to wait and see if there is a Christmas sale on this so I can pick up a 4 pack for cheap.
 
Me, too. Hell of a lot going for it for $20. Easily recommended.
 
Is this going to be one of those games that's dead within one month? I'm sorely reminded of Section 8 Prejudice.

I don't think so. It's got just enough of that Left 4 Dead type addictive gameplay and broad scenario setup going for it except it's finally scratching that Heat: The Videogame itch a lot of people have had.

Past that, I'm very impressed with the level of communication I'm seeing between the devs and the gaming community on their own site and on the Steam forums for this game, as an example.

They've already put out one patch. The next one is going to open the graphics menu options and then they're just going to keep going after that.

I get the idea from them they're committed to making this title a success and have it last.

That game was so good. I blame the company in partly for it's death. DLC for a fucking dead game?

Well, that's one worry I have. They are already talking about a paid DLC for this, and that's a no-no for a low sales number $20 game, although certain tactics might allow the devs to pull it off, like a 75% sale off the game itself when the DLC gets released.

Ugh, I'm really tempted to get this because I like the idea, I'm just really afraid of getting burned and never playing it more than a 2 or 3 hours.

I pre-ordered the game before the game was delayed. It is definitely worth the money ( I only saved $2 on the pre-order).

The game is very team-oriented and if you know a few friends who have it or are interested in getting it, you will definitely spend a lot of time playing it. Like many people have said, game play is similar to L4D, but it isn't. There isn't a Versus (4v4) part of the game, but there could easily be with the different types of cops that you encounter. Only real way that it's similar is that its a 4 player co-op game, and that a good team goes a long way.

The Developers have already said they are looking at making DLC's for the game (Rumors have said they might be free even).

Only complaint i have about the game is that there isn't push to talk (will be added in future patches) and that there isn't a advanced graphics portion in options (Will also be added in future patches).

For some reason I thought this was going to be one of those full priced games. At $20 this seems interesting.
 
Game makes me disrespect ignorant people that play FPSs with speakers more than i usually do, there is NO push to talk button atm, don't say i didn't warn you.

Aside from that the game is VERY good, and that comes from someone who has played lots of coop shooters (NOLF2 - sven coop - different KF pre and post retail builds - L4D1&2 - halo etc ) begginers should start playing on normal, prefferable the panic room heist, it's very doable for low rep levels, all you have to do is use your brain.

You don't really need more than 2 humans, bots usually help a lot, just take one with you and coordinate your actions with your friend over the mic, like one pair plants the c4 on level 4 the other pair on level 5 etc. Difficulty is pretty reasonable, unless you're playing on higher difficulties with minimal unlocks and/or have stupid randoms for teammates.

The devs are all too well aware of this and I'm pretty sure that's top priority for the next patch.

Why they released it with this flaw in the first place? Beats me.

It WILL get fixed.

For bots, SP is fairly respectable especially at the higher difficulties.

Regardless of SP or MP, the highest difficulties really bring on an insane viral swarm of cops. Wow.
 
I wish they could add a mute button lol...too many mic noobs out there. with people yelling in the background, or music. or just loud breathers. i dont want to have to mute my game to mute these jerks

Ya, i just set my voice over volume to about 15%. That seemed like it was good enough to where you can barely hear them when playing. Most of the time when someone needs your attention they'll be shouting into the mic. Or when playing with people off your friends list, use Ventrilo; it's a hell of a lot better than an voice over i have used.
