Get Payday 2 for free
« on: June 12, 2017, 07:07:06 am »
Steam has one of those 'play for free, keep the game forever' deals right now on Payday 2. Dunno if the game is any good, really, but I thought I'd let you know.
Note that you need 31G free hard drive space to install it.

Just an update, the Ultimate edition has been released, which signals the end of the giveaway.

Ustxu Iceraped the Frigid Crystal of Slaughter was a glacier titan. It was the only one of its kind. A gigantic feathered carp composed of crystal glass. It has five mouths full of treacherous teeth, enormous clear wings, and ferocious blue eyes. Beware its icy breath! Ustxu was associated with oceans, glaciers, boats, and murder.

I played a bit of the tutorial. And I found out the game isn't for me.

I tried it on a free weekend, and it felt like a clunky GTA-wannabe that traded an open world for more mission structure - but it did a really bad job bargaining and got infinitesimal increases in mission structure in exchange for a straightjacket. I am slightly appalled to say I enjoyed the GoatSim "Payday expansion" more than the actual game...

You guys are entitled to your interpretations, but if you were trying it SP and judging it on that I feel you missed what the game is actually about.

That said, PD2 is only good when the difficulty is up. Half of the game is learning what to do in each mission, the other half is not fucking it up. (Or reacting to your teammates fucking it up.)

SP the game is forgettable.

True, but I have recently seen other people play it. And well, it just doesn't appeal to me.

Honestly, nenjin, having human partners wouldn't help with the parts that made me dislike it. Group versus environment isn't going to be better than player versus environment if what you can't stand is how you interact with the environment and vice-versa. I really wanted to like it, but it was so flat and lifeless I just couldn't...
