Is this game worth picking up?

[ThinkOn]

Wasn't huge on payday 2 but i enjoyed it, just wondering if this game has good content, good optimisation (no or very minimal jagged lines and good fps with no or minimal drops), I saw that the game was £12 something with the dlc which seems great. I also know that you can play offline if you wanted to as well which is a nice touch. Any advice is appreciated, thank you.

Payday 2 is great but it's too slow for my liking. Crime Boss is the better game in my opinion. Payday 2 only has more content because it's been around since 2013. Crime Boss hopefully will be around a while and can get more content and customization options.

For me Payday 2 is very fast paced on higher difficulties and too hardcore that solo is impossible.
Imo Crime Boss won't be for long, already not much people are playing it so it is making loses. Financial flop.

For the price you can't go wrong

It's still the better game though for me. If you like waiting on a drill for 20min then congrats. I also like that Crime Boss has different gameplay types and not just the same type all the time. Again, Payday 2 isn't a bad game, but it's not for me action-wise.

I disagree, they have been working on the game for a year and I can see them continue to do so for a while as they are listening to feedback etc, yes the game doesn't have as many players as payday 2 of course but it has a lot more than payday 3 and that game still gets updates, so I can definitely see this game doing good.

Yeah, starbreez fumbling so much after dropping the ball on Payday 3 really gave Crimeboss the opportunity to steal big parts of the audience. Plus being a new IP, they had the luxury of not having as high expectations for what the company is capable of doing

The single player is surprisingly very fun and doesn't feel phoned in.
On the hardest difficulty it actually feels really intense and rewarding.

100%, i liked this more than pay day 2 tbh, the campaign is really fun.

Okay no one cares, that game is 11 years old. Some people don't want to play a janky 10+ year old game.

Let's hope they continue to be good and not drop the ball again lol but I can see lots of potential in this game for sure

tbh they may have the luxury of not having high expectations but I myself and many others I know have held expectations as high as Payday 2, and CB won! yes , CB is the modern version of Payday 2 , as fun as PD2 is, it's old and clunky and in some aspects due to it being old it's not fun the way CB is, so I believe because we already had Payday 2 and this game did pretty well, it's safe to say it did even better than PD The Heist which didn't have ANY expectations at all , ANY competition at all, not even GTA V was out back then

This game has 100x more content and replayability than all 3 payday games combined

I have played it, didn't fit my style, returned it. Git Gut scrub.

that's fine, your style , I personally hate souls like games as they are time consuming but I know for a fact and I acknowledge that they are great and people love em for a reason, that's why you shouldn't put it down others throat that this game doesn't worth it, it takes more than 10 hours to get all the cutscenes , secret missions in prison, in snow, in world war in the campaign, and another 3-4 hours to play all the heists so you clearly haven't played them all , but still, you saw the gameplay and you have the right not to play it again, it's just that you can't be serious that this game doesn't have the potential if you haven't even played half of it...

yeah right ? just the campaign takes 10-20 hours to get all the cutscenes and stuff let alone the multiplayer

[peep]

Ya fr the roguelite mode is more than enough but there's so much more beyond that.

[Sir Galahad]

It's okay, doesn't hold a candle to games like Payday 2 but it's a decent game. The progression system is shallow, kinda comparable to Payday 3 which is not that good. The multiplayer part is very lacking, actually singleplayer is where the heart of the game is with the map takeover and missions, sadly this is only singleplayer.

I would give it a solid 7/10, it does get repetitive fast, turf takeovers and defenses are basically copy paste.

The heist themselves are very basic compared to the ones in Payday 1 and 2 which are far more difficult and has better gameplay mechanics.

I've done 4 missions on extreme so far and they're not that difficult, Payday 2 death wish difficulty is insane, basically borderline impossible when doing it loud which is a great challenge, like i said this game is not of the same quality as the first two payday games but it can entertain you for a couple of hours.
