Hey guys, Ive been seeing some gameplay of PAYDAY: The Heist & I was wondering what do you guys think about it?

It seems pretty fun but some friends I got on Steam told me it was very repetitive because its only a few maps & Its not really that fun... Just a "Play once & Uninstall" type of game.

What do you guys think about it? Should I get it?

/\ That's if you play alone mostly, if you have other 3 friends that own it, it's pretty fun, if not, I suggest gather friends and buy a 4-pack

I tried it out during the free weekend a few months ago. To me personally, I played through all the maps with a group of friends over a couple hours. There really aren't that many maps in the game, and it got pretty repetitive somewhat quickly. I personally wouldn't buy it for full price, maybe if you find it discounted. Whatever you think a couple hours of entertainment is worth.

Payday takes a lot more skill than L4D, or your friend just sucks equally at both.

as if your friend is a uber pro tourney player. if he says its a L4D clone then he doesnt know anything the only bit like L4D is team of 4 with guns but lots of game have that so he just said something thats complete crap and you believe it so that would just make you gullible. and i highly doubt you can prove that your friend is a uber pro tourny player.

lol. i highly doubt that i give a shit. the op asked the community's opinion about the game, i said what i know. no fucking body asked you what you think about other peoples opinions. keep crying and whining about your shitty little game though, im sure that really endears it to anyone reading this post- that douchey lil snots who dont get laid cant handle that someone gave their little game a poor review -these are the people that make up Payday's community?
HAHAHAHAaa i love it

i got payday in the last sammer sale and i can tell you it worth every cent ot the 5$. If you intend to play with your friends i can assure you'll have a lot of fun playing BUT.. playing with random people is a whole different thing and is very boring and repetitive.

I have it and it a great game. if you buy the DLC you will have 9 heist, 7 if you don't. The objectives are the same every time you play each, but some things will change. Some objective will change place each time you play the heist again. I had never play it online, but with bots the game is great.
info form : http://payday.wikia.com/wiki/PAYDAY:_The_Heist

The game features dynamic environments and enemy spawns, so a heist will never play the exact same way twice. Teamwork is the key to this game, as players will have to work together and assume different roles.
Features
9 heists
Cooperative gameplay
Dynamic environments and enemy spawns
Character progression trees

I think if you think you will like it, go for it and buy it.
i did this for a lot of games (this one, metro 2033, etc) and they where the best game i had ever played.

Online is not the only way a game can be good. I prefer single player game. I rarely play online. The game is great. EOL

Believe me PAYDAY much better in online. But. I'm loved PAYDAY too when I'm downloading non-steam version first and played with bots. After 2 days I'm buy it in Steam.

Why, shooting mechanic is great, the game has a great variety, multiple heists, multiple weapons.
Please explain why.

Considering how some players aren't that experinced. Also, in my own honest opinion the game is repetitive. Always doing the same things it gets boring. The weapon choice isn't that fancy. Aim for the best weapons and it's good.

every game is repetitive and only people with no life and no friends care if some people are noobs, everyone was a noob once so why not help them get better and enjoy this great game at the same time.

I think it's a good game, it's repetitive sure. What game isn't? I usually play a couple hours of day, friends or without, even though i reached max rep you can still play all nine of the heists including DLC.

"Left for dead clone" cute, it takes the concept from Left the Dead and bring you into a criminal mind robbing banks and getting money. Payday is loads of fun. I'd recommend if you have friends to play with but without any it won't be as fun i suppose.

Seems like most of you are just pulling reasons not to pick it up out of your ass.

Pretty good game, you will need non brain dead mates though.
Personally, I didnt like Left 4 Dead but playing the hell out of Payday: The Heist

I have seen gameplay of it and read about it on game forums, I have not actually played it (I decided to let it pass) so keep that in mind ;).

The game seems fine, but as others have noted, I think it could get repetitive. Unlike a typical online FPS, it is very step by step objective based. You can't change that. Sure, sometimes you will get the code right away, sometimes you don't, but the heists all follow the same pattern. I think that once you have established a routine (where to bunker down, etc.), you might get tired of it. After all, every map has a pretty linear path to follow.

Also, it seems it isn't newbie friendly. If you want to play online with random people and they see you have a low level, they apparantly kick you out right away. So I think it would be best to have a bunch of friends to play it with, that might be where the fun is :)

if you go for Hard / Overkill difficulty as rep 10 you will bring team down right at wave 2.

Low levels actually join the hardest difficulties? Well, in that case it isn't surprising they get kicked. Common sense would be to play on easy or normal, at a low level.

I won Payday here. It is an awesome game. Its not repetitive, there are ~10 maps, but everything is always random.
If i knew Payday was this much fun before, i would've bought it. I can only recommend it.

If you have friends to play it with, it will be fun. Random games with strangers seems alright too.

I love the game, but I think you should look for a steam CD key somewhere else other than steam itself.

But if you didnt like Left for dead, dont get the game. And yes, it does get a bit repetitive. I still like it though.

It's wonderful with at least ONE friend. You don't need any more than that, though 3 friends is even better. It's lot like L4D.

A challenging game. I personally really enjoy it, especially with friends. But everyone will see it differently I'm sure. It's not perfect, but it's far from bad :)
