    Great game, but the flat point (and most important) is that the game doesnt have Voice chat.. VOICE CHAT, on a Coop game, no sense..
    The game runs great and is fun, but play with random ppl is boring because there is no voice chat, or text chat, nothing.. so you can coordinate nothing.

    It's a good game. Its a fun game. Some of the graphics are PlayStation 1 ish. Some of the graphics are really good. Bottom line is this a steam shooter at heart and it shows but i definitely am going to play this over Warframe.

    Despite not being the most refined game with the best FPS gameplay or the best graphics, I love playing Payday 2 with both friends and randoms despite the score I give it. It's a sort of guilty pleasure game. It's definitely not as good as the PC version as it lacks content, mods and patches but I still recommend it if you want a good time with a small group of friends.

    I remember buying this game because my friends told me to and then two weeks later they stopped playing it. there's nothing really that stands out in this game. it has some cool ideas but they all fall flat and the combat sucks.

    Payday 2: Crimewave Edition is the perfect game for current-gen owners who have always wanted to rob a bank, but never wanted to go to jail.

    If you already have the previous edition of PayDay 2 (especially the PC version), you might see the Crimewave Edition as a robbery in broad daylight. If you don’t – it’s the best “robber simulator” there is. [09/2015, p.45]

    While Payday 2: Crimewave Edition promises to be a worthy update to a beloved last-gen title, Payday 2: Crimewave Edition is a buggy and frustrating mess. It's a real shame, because this version is packed to the brim with content, and when you can finally join a session the game play is as brilliant as ever.
