    Stay away from this game and anything else overkill or sunbreeze may create. if they did it once they will do it again. Once a dev shows their colors like this, it is near impossible for them to recover.

    In a single day (the first day of Crimefest 2015), they:
    - demonstrated how they cannot be trusted by introducing microtransactions, that they promised would never become a part of the game
    - also demonstrated this by introducing microtransactions during an event they claimed was 100% free
    - introduced microtransactions (this is its own bullet point) in the form of weapon skins
    - introduced pay-to-win microtransactions by giving stat bonuses to certain weapon skins
    - introduced microtransactions in a $20 game with $120 of DLC
    - completely decimated the weapon balance, giving pistols insane power (even giving the Deagle enough power to one-shot bodyshot kill one of the toughest basic enemies in the game), and neutering shotguns and assault rifles; this is coming from someone who mostly used pistols in the past
    - in doing so, nullified the benefits of some of their own DLCs (the AA-12 is useless)

    As of the end of Crimefest, Overkill has stated that none of these will be removed, and essentially declared that the veterans of the game no longer mattered to them, as the 'majority' of the player base (i.e. many new players who joined during Crimefest, while PAYDAY 2 was having a free weekend) were paying for weapon skins.

    tl;dr Overkill lies about microtransactions, pay2 win, their own in-game event, their financial status, and basically everything else    … Expand

    This used to be a great game. There were occasional DC, a view of which were necessary for the game to be playable. Now there is a new $5 extension every month, with each weapon stronger and less and less thought out. To truly get into this game takes hundreds of hours and probably close to $80 or so. Just get a better game that has a less **** developer.

    "You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain."
    Overkill got microtransactions, but at which price ? One big, angry community that still remember how Payday wasn't supposed to become the "Pay2win" it has become.

    It was great. The many players co-existing in peace. But then everything changed when the microtransactions attacked. Sucks even more because we were promised no microtransactions. Now the devs are ignoring the community and paying attention to only their own lust for money. If I wanted to have devs screw me over, I would have gone to EA or Ubisoft

    EVEN WORSE, the micro-transactions give you in game stat boosts that you would not have otherwise.

    When they announced micro-transactions, the whole community went up in arms. People decided that it would be best to bash Payday 2 on steam reviews and metacritic. I decided to wait. "Maybe", I thought, "Maybe they will announce an apology after this event is done. Maybe they will take back the stat boosts and realize the mistake they had made."

    Today, they made an announcement. Micro-transactions to stay. Stat boosts to stay.

    What people dont understand was that a big part of this games initial selling point was the fact that they had PROMISED to the community that they would NEVER make the game a pay to win. Yet, they went back on that promise.

    Furthermore, during their AMA(ask me anything: an open forum of sorts where fans and users can directly ask the company questions with an almost immediate response) said that they have always cared about their community and actively seek compromise when conflict arises, yet they did not budge one bit on the problems brought up by the community.

    So, long story short, I give this game a 0/10 not because the game itself is bad, but they people that run it are. If you are looking to be treated as nothing but a wallet, if you are looking to have your voice muffled and silenced, if you are looking for a game that gets easier when you throw money at it, or you simply just love to be on the bad side of an abusive relationship, then PAY2DAY is the game for you.

    If not, I would strongly advise you against this game.    … Expand

    The business practices of Overkill are beyond questionable. First off, you have a game that already costs a chunk of cash, but then add on to that around 30 paid DLC packs.

    With this system you can loot a safe as a reward after a heist. To open the safe you need to buy a drill for 2.50$ or wit a lot you can loot one every week.
    The major problem with this system is that the skin gained that way can give you a bonus to your weapon. It range from a small bonus to a massive advantage.
    To top it all Overkill "rebalanced" the weapon and nerfed a lot of them. But that has nothing to do with the fact they want us to buy skins.

    There's a great deal of information on this all across the web and Reddit so I suggest taking to there to look into this.

    Paid about 100$ for game and DLC. Were doing heists for half a year. Then, one day, microtransactions came and ruined game for me. Tried to be patient, but in the end, we community was ignored in favour of new players and their money. So don't play unless you want to pay to win.

    Not recommended. Overkill backtracked on their own promises, which they knew would have pissed off the entire PD2 community by adding micro-transactions when they promised in the past that they would never add it, going as far to say that we were even silly if we ever thought PD2 had micro-transactions. Guess who are the silly ones now?

    The developers are just too untrustworthy and it seems that all they care for is money, even if it means pissing off their fan base.
    All you get with this game, is access to more DLC to pay for. Fun!

    Best example of where greed killed a quite good game. I used to love this game, but ever since they started throwing out half a**ed DLC I've been sceptical towards their doing. Now when they decided to introduce micro-transaction after previously making a promise there would be non, that just break the spirit of the community.

    Welcome to Greedfest!

    So the microtransactions are here to stay, even though Overkill previously stated that Payday 2 would have no microtransactions (and shame on us for thinking it would!). In addition to this lack of understanding between the developers and the community, some members of the development team are being outrageously rude towards paying customers.

    So the microtransactions are here to stay, even though Overkill previously stated that Payday 2 would have no microtransactions (and shame on us for thinking it would!). In addition to this lack of understanding between the developers and the community, some members of the development team are being outrageously rude towards paying customers.

    This conversation also brings up the question of what Overkill are actually doing right now? Almir Listo has stated that they added microtransactions because they made their team larger to help develop their game on other platforms. And at the same time, nothing has done to fix the game on consoles. Instead, the developers believe that people who are upset that their product isn't working should just buy it again. Because Overkill reeeaaalllyyy needs more money after developing a game that ended up being profitable before pre-ordering was over. Oh, and they've made $110 worth of DLC content for people to spend money on as well.

    There is also the matter of Starbreeze's 2015 Financial Report. In this document, the following is stated; "Starbreeze fourth quarter will be added to the successful history of the company with net sales reaching 72.0 MSEK, an increase by 41 per cent year on year. Total revenues reached its highest point since the launch of PAYDAY 2 growing with 72 per cent Year on Year. Our best selling franchise, PAYDAY 2, grew at all time high 53% reaching 71.1 MSEK." So basically when their investors ask Starbreeze and Overkill how their stocks are doing, the companies can respond by saying that their game is now making record-breaking profits. Then when they community asks them to remove microtransactions and keep their word, Overkill tells us thatthey just aren't making enough money yet.

    So screw you Overkill. You should see that you've made some pretty awful decisions, and hopefully you can bring all of this terrible PR to a close by keeping to your word a little more.

    Thought I would add this just to show that Overkill added microtransactions whole being completely aware that they had previously said there would be no microtransactions in the game. Here's a quote from a reddit AMA by Almir Listo. When asked why they decided to add microtransactions after their earlier statements about it, he responds with "Of course we knew what we had said [about microtransactions], but we never thought it'd be taken as negatively as it did." Here's an Amir to English translation: "Yeah we said that, but f**k you. It's gonna make us more money!    … Expand

    While microtransactions aren't the worst thing in the world if they are purely cosmetical. These actually increase your weapon's stats, which does make it unacceptable, expecially for a game which is over 100$ if you count all DLC's.    … Expand

    I used to love this game, however since adding in micro transactions I can no longer support the game or its developer. The stat changing skins are truly abhorrent and frankly have absolutely ruined the game. Coupled with a total lack of adequate communication or justification from the developers I wholeheartedly recommend avoiding this game.

    This was a great game, except overkill messed it up.
    Pay to win microtransactions in a game you already paid for. Also they already made shedloads of overpriced dlc.
    Good job overkill.

    I loved the whole Idea of forming a group and pulling off heist with my friends and have things be a challenge but now that micro transactions have been introduced the game has become broken and we are being treated like idiots that are just wallets to these devs.

    When Payday 2 was released it was a horrible game. Unbalanced and with some of the absolute most nonsensical game design I have ever witnessed. A couple years on and it's interesting to see the game developers have not learned a single thing (and a number of the serious problems are still here).

A couple years on and it's interesting to see the game developers have not learned a single thing (and a number of the serious problems are still here).

    With regards to business however, they've hit the gold mine, they learned a lot in the methods and tactics of swindling and lying to people.

    Payday 2 managed to win browny points primarily for its concept (heists) which as yet had not been often explored in the videogame market. Through the years small teams of dedicated players, modders and hackers have helped to fix the game when Overkill were too stubborn or too stupid to make simple fixes or balance the game properly. The developers have struggled long and hard to puzzle and irritate their own community to death. Whilst always looking to keep a '1 step forward 2 step backwards' philosophy in mind with regards to systematically creating the biggest mess of backwards design the gaming community will likely ever witness.

    Finally, they have seen fit to end it all, and have stomped on the head of their dog repeatedly until, yelping in agony, it has sputtered its final death rattle.

    Well done Overkill, here lies your legacy, Pay2Day: The Hustle.    … Expand

    Overkill has truly **** up. Hard. There are plenty of other posts on here explaining what happened, and I am just here to help the cause. This isnt the first time they **** up, but it is far bigger than the others.

    PayDay 2 is one of the nicest surprises of the year. Overkill Software understands the atmosphere of gangster movies and wisely improves these pieces of gameplay, that might have been disappointing in the first game. The sequel is better in almost every way - you can play a thief and enjoy good character development and shooting systems. I really hope, that PayDay 3 will be even better.

    Payday 2 is an excellent co-op shooter - a vast improvement over the first one. [Sept 2013]

    A unique and captivating multiplayer experience that rewards team work over personal glory. But make sure you bring friends for the true experience. [Nov 2013, p.62]
