Payday 2 is a great game - ruined by the amount of DLCs, constant updates that add twice as many buyable features as free features and pointless additions. I mean seriously, did the addition of cloakers make ANYONE pleased? The different difficulties really show, both in loot and in gameplay, but doing the same heist over and over and over again starts to feel very repetitive and grindy. Just recently I was happy to hear that they added a character from Croatia, until I heard that you have to pay for a DLC containing him, just like with over half of the weapons in this game. Not to trash-talk all over the developers' work, it is a feat to continue making updates for a game for this long, despite most of them being just DLCs.

However, I must say that the first couple of times I played the game, my friends and I enjoyed it and loved it to no end. If you're gonna buy the game, I recomend doing so while it's at a discount and not buying the DLCs - you have more than enough free content for the time which you'll be playing this before it becomes repetitive.

EDIT: After playing this game again, I got reminded why I enjoyed it so much. The game does get repetitive at a point, but the amount of content released in each update, both free and buyable is more than enough to keep you getting back. I ended up buying the Dragan DLC and LOL-ing and ROTFL-ing at his quotes, and I don't regret it one bit.
This game is great, but I do recommend playing it over Skype or TeamSpeak with at least one friend.

They're like Spies in TF2: either you keep your eyes open around you or they insta-down you.

Yes, but I just find them annoying and don't see how they add anything to the game, but that is very subjective opinion.

Cloakers were in the first game, too.
Other than that, yeah. The amount of DLC for this game is staggering. The developers do output a lot of stuff, but you have to pay for it in the end.
