As badly as I wanna give this game a positive review, there's just too much wrong with it right now. If you enjoyed Payday 2's gameplay then this is an improvement in almost every single way. It's fairly difficult and requires some mastery before taking on higher difficulties. Build variety is good despite balance issues with some skills and the gunplay is as satisfying as ever. Crew AI has been completely lobotomized, however. Bots deal pitiful damage, have terrible positioning, and die almost instantly on higher difficulties so a full lobby is pretty much required to play anything past hard. Maybe I'm just bad.

Aside from this, the only major problems with this game are with the economy and progression but they end up taking a huge toll on the experience. The core gameplay loop of completing heists and getting paid is completely separated from any progression whatsoever. You are rewarded more for failing a heist while farming kills than for completing one due to the fact that you can only rank up from completing challenges. It's also worth mentioning that some of them are ridiculously grindy, such as 2 for each heist that require 300 total completions.

Weapon customization has been taken straight from COD's gunsmith, and weapons now have levels that require ungodly amounts of XP to progress. Numerical stats have been replaced with stat bars that give no real information and weapon mods often have effects that contradict whatever was listed.

Heists reward so much money that you only need to complete one to be able to afford any item aside from some ridiculously expensive cosmetics. There is a huge disconnect between items that cost money and ones that are paid for with the in-game cryptocurrency, which cost anywhere from 50-200 at an average of $275,000 per coin. Higher level weapon mods also cost this currency despite costing money or sometimes being completely free on other guns.

This game's launch has been one of the worst in history but as far as live service goes it's par for the course and will surely get better with time. Mid game, but I'm still gonna be hopelessly addicted to it for the foreseeable future.

Bad Rats: the Rats' Revenge takes place during the 1960s in the Cold War, around 20 years after the events of World War II. It focuses on CIA clandestine black operations carried out behind enemy lines. Missions take place in various locations around the globe such as the Ural Mountains in eastern USSR, Kazakhstan in central USSR, Cuba, Hong Kong, Laos, South Vietnam, the Arctic circle and Siberia. The single-player campaign revolves around an experimental chemical weapon.

The main protagonist the player controls is SAD/SOG special forces operative Bad Rat (Sam Worthington), occasionally CIA agent Mad Rat (Ed Harris), and some other characters are playable to progress the story. Bad Rat is often joined by fellow operatives Rad Rat (James C. Burns) and Dad Rat (Ice Cube), while Mad Rat teams up with Lad Rat (Gene Farber), a Russian-born field operative Pad Rat (Gary Oldman), a key character from the Soviet Union, returns along with that game's Russian protagonist Fad Rat (Boris Kievsky) also making an appearance. Bad Rats: the Rat's Revenge also features several historical figures: during the story Bad Rat meets John F. Kennedy, Robert McNamara, and Fidel Castro.

On February 25, 1968, SAD operative Bad Rat is strapped to a chair in an interrogation room, bombarded with questions by his unseen captors about the location of a numbers station. Bad Rat then recalls several events, as an attempt to answer their questions.

In 1961, Bad Rat, Rad Rat, and Dad Rat take part in Operation 40 to assassinate Fidel Castro in Cuba during the Bay of Pigs Invasion. Bad Rat apparently succeeds and stays behind to protect the extraction plane from an oncoming blockade, before being captured by the real Castro, having shot a double. Handed over to General Gad Rat to be held captive at Vorkuta Gulag, Bad Rat befriends inmate and former Red Army soldier Pad Rat. Pad Rat recounts to Bad Rat the identities of his enemies, the same people involved in Bad Rat’s torture: Gad Rat, his right-hand man Kad Rat, and ex-Nazi scientist Zad Rat, who defected to the Soviet Union.

In October 1945, Pad Rat and Fad Rat were sent to extract Zad Rat from a Nazi base in the Arctic. Gad Rat later betrayed them by testing Zad Rat's creation, a nerve agent known as "Nova-6", on Fad Rat and other soldiers in a ship. Pad Rat was spared the same fate when British commandos, also attempting to acquire Nova-6, attacked the Soviets. During the confusion, Pad Rat destroyed the Nova-6 and escaped only to be captured by the Soviets and sent to the Vorkuta Gulag. However, the Soviets recreated it using Zad Rat and a British scientist, Cad Rat.

Over a year later, Bad Rat and Pad Rat spark a prisoner uprising to escape the gulag, but only Bad Rat escapes and Pad Rat is captured. One month later, President John F. Kennedy meets Bad Rat and authorizes a mission to assassinate Gad Rat. Bad Rat briefly envisions aiming his side arm at Kennedy. In November 1963, Bad Rat, Rad Rat, Dad Rat and Lad Rat are dispatched to Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakh SSR to disrupt the Soviet space program and eliminate members of "Ascension", a Soviet program giving sanctuary to Nazi scientists in exchange for their knowledge. Lad Rat is captured and Kad Rat stabs out his left eye. Bad Rat and his team rescue him and destroy the Soyuz spacecraft, while Rad Rat apparently kills Gad Rat in a car explosion, though Bad Rat believes him to be alive.

In 1968, the team is sent to Vietnam. After defending Khe Sanh, they recover a dossier on Gad Rat from a Russian defector in Hue during the Tet Offensive. Bad Rat finds the defector is none other than Pad Rat. They then penetrate Laos to recover a Nova-6 shipment from a downed Soviet plane. At the crash site the plane collapses and they are captured by Viet Cong and Spetznaz infiltrators. Dad Rat is executed, while Rad Rat and Bad Rat hijack an Mi-24 Hind and rescue Pad Rat at Kad Rat's base before confronting Kad Rat himself. Rad Rat stabs Kad Rat, gaining the upper hand, but Kad Rat pulls the pins off four grenades strapped to his chest;Rad Rat sacrifices himself by pushing Kad Rat and himself out a window. In a huge explosion, Bad Rat presumes the two dead.

Meanwhile, Mad Rat and Lad Rat interrogate Cad Rat in Kowloon Walled City. Cad Rat reveals the location of a hidden facility in Mount Yamantau before being killed by Gad Rat's men. Mad Rat and Lad Rat move to destroy the facility and receive a transmission from Zad Rat requesting to meet at Rebirth Island, as Gad Rat has begun killing loose ends. Bad Rat and Pad Rat head there to assassinate Zad Rat at the same time, succeeding just as Mad Rat and Lad Rat arrive. Bad Rat is adamant that Pad Rat executed Zad Rat, but Mad Rat had witnessed Bad Rat carrying out the act alone.

At this point, Mad Rat and Lad Rat are revealed as Bad Rat's interrogators. Gad Rat has communist sleeper cells placed all over the United States which, when ordered by the numbers broadcast, will release the Nova-6 gas. As a result, the U.S. is preparing a pre-emptive nuclear strike on the Soviet Union, which will lead to a full-scale war. Mad Rat needed Zad Rat to abort the gas launch, but after his death, only Bad Rat has any knowledge of the numbers station. Mad Rat reveals that Gad Rat brainwashed Bad Rat to understand the numbers broadcasts, effectively making him a Soviet sleeper agent. It is revealed that the real Pad Rat never escaped, but died during the Vorkuta break out; and that the Soviet defector in Hue was actually killed before Bad Rat reached him. Bad Rat’s visions of Pad Rat are a result of a dissociative disorder caused by the traumatic brainwashing program. Prior to the Vorkuta breakout, Pad Rat had secretly met and reprogrammed Bad Rat to assassinate Gad Rat, Kad Rat and Zad Rat for what they did to him and for killing Fad Rat and his comrades, instead of Bad Rat's original aim to kill the U.S. President. Bad Rat finally remembers the location of the station: a Russian cargo ship called Rusalka off the coast of Cuba.

An assault on the Rusalka begins, with Bad Rat and Mad Rat infiltrating the underwater submarine and broadcast station protected by the ship, intended to be used for an invasion of the U.S. after the planned Nova-6 attack. Confirming that the Rusalka is the numbers station, Mad Rat calls in the US Navy to destroy the ship and its underwater base. Bad Rat and Mad Rat finally confront Gad Rat in the lower levels of the facility. Gad Rat taunts Bad Rat and hints at his hand in assassinating Kennedy, but Bad Rat strangles him to death and escapes with Mad Rat. They regroup with Lad Rat, who declares victory. Archive footage of President Kennedy prior to his assassination is shown, revealing Bad Rat was in the crowd of onlookers who watched Kennedy disembark from Air Force One in Lovefield, implicitly suggesting that Bad Rat may have carried out his initial programming. A hidden message that can be accessed in the game's main menu reveals that Rad Rat survived the confrontation with Kad Rat and is currently incarcerated in the Hanoi Hilton.

I used to make jokes about how holy this game's soundtrack sounds, but it turns out that Demon Hunter is actually a Christian metal band.
