    If everything was working correctly, the Xbox One version would be on par with the PlayStation 4, but pervasive technical difficulties ultimately undermine it. More than two weeks into the review, we were still experiencing crippling lag in the Crime.net mission select screen, and when missions do load we had a less than 10 percent success rate in joining the matches. Your only bet to have a stable experience playing Payday 2 on Xbox One currently is to set up your own heist and invite friends.

    Payday 2: Crimewave Edition is an embarrassing, broken release that should be avoided by consumers and is a black eye on the current state of video game publishing.

Which is kind of the entire point behind the game. Not sure how you can release a product and call it "finished" and have more than 50% of it completely unusable.

As a consumer when I purchase something I expect it to be working to the point I can at least do I what is intended from my purchase. Payday released early in the UK and the problems still were not fixed by the time the US released. This is my way of showing developers/publishers that I will not tolerate this type of behavior and I would rather them push back release, instead of giving me a product that does not work as intended or advertised.… Full Review »
