?Ok. Payday 2 is 4-player co-op based around robbing banks, and doing other jobs that require gunman. Now if you're anything like me, you are immediately interested in this game. To throw in some more tantalizing details, the game basically play like Left 4 Dead, but instead of zombies it's cops. They even got special units in there like the special zombies. An example would the Bulldozer, which is similar to a juggernaut. The difference would be that the Bulldozer has suit that looks like a Haz Mat suit. Also the game has lots of RPG elements such as skill trees and a leveling system. Now I bet I got your attention.

?Now a little backstory. This doesn't have too much details about the game itself, so you could skip this to the next paragraph. When I first heard about this game it was when I was playing Far Cry 3. A month before it came out. One of my older brother's friends noticed I was playing. He asked me, "What game is that?" and I told him it was Far Cry 3. He then said he thought is was Payday for a second. I asked what was that game. Then he told me is was about robbing banks and stuff. That's when I started to look into the game. Now let's go forward to about two months after the games release. I finally got around to picking it up and I was excited to pop it in for the first time. I got it for $35 bucks I believe, and it was a brand new copy. My hopes and anticipation were in the right place, but this game was fun. At that time I didn't have Xbox Live, I played a lot by myself. I proceeded to learn how to all of the missions stealthily, the best methods, how to farm XP and such, and finally with in time, I outgrew the game. I felt with no DLC updates and the inability to play online co-op, the game had nothing else for me. I moved on to other titles such as Assassins Creed, Fallout, and Forza. Fast forward to recent. I've had Xbox Live for a couple of months now and I decided to revisit ?the game. I started to have the most fun I've had with this game, and the most fun in awhile. I then decided to get a group together?to play with. But then that's when I realized, none of my friends have even heard about this game. The few that did played on PC so I couldn't play with them. (I play on Xbox) So then I started to look online. I looked on Reddit, GameFAQs, and even here on the Vizzed board. A lot of people already closed their recruitment camps on Reddit and GameFAQs, or just forgot. I looked here and only saw one person who had the game, and he doesn't seem to play much anymore. So here I am, talking about this wonderful game, advertising to the awesome people here at Vizzed.

?Okay, if you want to see full reviews on the game you could go see the IGN review, or read my extensive review here on the Vizzed boards. The links provided below will take you there. You should finish reading this post before seeing those links though.

?Now here are some disclaimers. Not about the game but if you're gonna read my review keep in mind I'm passionate about my writing so it may seem like I'm hating on the game when talking about the cons or the negatives. Okay, If you're gonna buy this game, it should be on PC. If you don't have a capable PC to run this game, fine, you should still buy it on console. The reason why you should buy it on PC is due to PC getting more content. The game has been but for maybe almost a year and I have yet to see any sort of real DLC on the Xbox platform. Also, there has not been that many patches, so a lot of exploits remain that have been patched up on PC, though no game-breaking glitches exist. Finally, if you were thinking about local multiplayer, unfortunately the developers have seemed to forget about that, as there is none. I guess they also forgot about us console gamers. That's about it for the disclaimers. Now even with that, you should still buy the game. This game has the same co-op charm as Left 4 Dead and Army of Two. Also, this game always has stuff to do despite having no DLC updates, such as leveling up to unlock more skills, trying to unlock a silencer attachment for your M1911 look-a-like, or attempting to do your favorite heist without being noticed. So that's all I've got to say. If you have any questions you can refer to reviews above or just ask me.?

?Forgot to mention, if you're gonna buy the Xbox version, you can message me at my XBL account, Saiyan29Mayhem, and we can play. Also the game is soon coming to next-gen consoles, but as of this writing, the release dates are unknown.

I have PAYDAY 2 on PC since it gets everything way earlier

. I've started playing again now that they've added the infamy feature. I find it similar to L4D as well except you're not exploring as much as staying in one place, completing objective, fighting waves of enemies and earning as much cash as possible. My favourite level is definitely "Fire starter". Although once you've played every mission a bit it gets a bit boring. I wish they would add new contract brokers or Elephant contracts. I would also love to see Greta from the web series integrated somehow as maybe a broker for assassination contracts. Me and my friends were also discussing how a verses mode like L4D2 would be cool where it would be 4 players spawning as special cops. Some of the more weaker regular cops could command a squad to go with them and maybe their rifles are more powerful than average. The you could also play as tazers and such. Just a thought.
