Is it fun to play solo ?

[Mazi7]

I assume that in mm you usually stubmle on idiots right ? :) So I was wondering is it worth playing solo around, almost first time I would get full version with all dlc's. I see "only" 10k people at the moment, last year during summer numbers were 3/4x higher so I assume it's going down slowly ? I get that it's a 2013 title but again..

it's always around 10k-15k, since this year, in sales it gets up to 30k then goes down slowly back to the normal amount

Solo is kinda Challenge Mode because the game almost doesn't compensate for the player being alone(except that two enemy types literally do not spawn) and the AI teammates are terrible.

Technically playable, but well, if you really intend to do everything solo, you'll need some determination.

I only play solo and I love it. I would recommend downloading the "ask bots to carry bags" and "better bots" mods to ballance it out since you are severly punished for playing solo: you only get a 3 man crew, bots don't carry bags, infact bots are mostly only useful as weak mobile turrets, and you don't get properly compensated for these hanicaps either. both those mods fix that and make the solo experience much more fun.

Hell no.

Go pubs/friends or go home.

some types of enemy doesn't spawn? really?

For the most part, Stealth heists is best done solo. It's painful to restart when SOMEONE ELSE on the team SCREWS UP and not YOU, especially on Stealth only heists.

For loud heists, then yes, a competent team is needed, at least on Death Wish heists. I tried to do Transport: Crossroads DW by myself and the A.I. just took me down so fast. At least having a team will make the enemies shoot at them instead of focusing only on you most of the time.

I play the majority of my games solo. I don't have many friends on steam. Certain matches like watchdogs where you have to move a ton of bags can be a pain but overall it isn't terrible.

I think he meant that the Cloaker can't kick you and Winters doesn't spawn at all, but for that you have to play Crime.net offline and/or have no bots enabled.

The higher volume had to do with people playing for fun but Overkills moto is PAYFORFUN

The game was actually called Playday 2

Considering they prefer taking and charging for content they get cheap and selling at absurd price it makes sense to remove the L.

I've never played with anybody but bots and have gotten hours of enjoyment out of the game so far, Definitely would recommend the "Better Bots" and "Ask Bots to Carry the Bag" mods, though.

Yes, for sure! I almost strictly play solo, and even I, a level 94, can beat Death Wish heists. Just make sure to get both the Better Bots mod and the Bot Carry Bags mod. It makes it a helluva lot easier, plus the AIs are spot on.

I wonder if really you can beat the heists or SAM does it for you. It looks like July 1st was a busy day.

17 DLC since i payed last year surely someone else has picked up on this scam

Some missions will be very frustrating if you're strictly solo, as they may have you needing to defend two locations at once (like a machine in one room, and a power box *on a different floor* and out of LOS), and at least w/o mods you can't order bots to stay around a location to protect it -- they will try to follow you. Likewise, anything with many bags will have you moving them, and you alone. They also don't leave deployables, pick locks, fix jammed drills, w/e.

Frustratingly difficult with only AI unless you are playing below your skill level.
