This the GTA Online of the Payday series.

• Stupid over the top weapons like a minigun, flamethrower or longbow
  
• Unnecessary story line to make the antiheroes like Robin Hood-esque good guys
  
• Pay to win mechanics through perk decks.
  
• Downgrade from the first. Characters do not interact with each other or the heist, its generic lines from the mission handler.
  
• Difficulties are absurd. Its not about enemies being better is about being more and having more health. I saw 5 dozers within 10 minutes on Brooklyn Bank - Mayhem. (I know its the 3 highest difficulty but to see 5 of the toughest cops in first 10 mins shows you how they treat the game difficulties)
  
• Countless of variations to complete heists, however it seems as though the devs followed the streamers and metas and made the heists unplayable after Very Hard unless you run around in your pants, wielding silenced shotguns, a dodge build with 3 lives and RNG.

I came back from a hiatus and found half my items locked out because i need to link a nebula/ starlink account.

Almost entirely unplayable. Does not progress past 3 seconds in the main menu if you have a connection to the internet. Therefore rendering online multiplayer non-existant.

Single Player only is only playable if you live in North Korea or have enough bandwidth to download the game and nothing else
Multi-Player? good ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ luck, playing with an internet connection
Co-op? the only co-op thing about this is trying to get the pissing thing to work

"Notice: This version of the game is not playable in Germany" - WRONG.
its not playable anywhere with an internet connection and seeing as you need one to download the game defeats the objective

Get a cracked version of the game, you'll have the same experience as purchasing except the added bonus of financially punishing the lazy cash grabbing accuntants at Square Enix

------
CONS
------
> more "realistic" than it is fun. 10 million commands somehow mapped to a keyboard (lots of Ctrl+Shift+F[numbers].
> almost non existant controller support right analog stick always autocenter sharply so you cant focus on anything.
> keyboard and mouse almost as bad as the controller support
> too damn expensive for what is an aircraft DLC marketplace
> flat world textures (you can mod it but alot of the 3-D environment mods require payment)

PROS
-------
> its not too hard to uninstall
> when you can get around the crappy controls about 2 missions are fun

♥♥♥♥ dovetail for tarnishing what was a good flght sim series by microsoft. I actually liked the free one that was before this pile of crap. I regret buying it when I did (before Steam refunds)

Misleading category, this game isn't in early access. It's in no access. No access if you want to play with friends.

7.0445235/10 might sit waiting for a game to forever load again
