FACTORY MUST GROW

Big train go through wall. 10/10

Great game. No idea how to play.

Edited to reflect Sony backpedaling. Assuming they hold their word, which I don't trust but do hope for.

Next time dont try to alienate millions of gamers around the globe.

HD2 deserves GOTY. It is one of if no the best PvE FPS game since Left 4 Dead 2. Immersive and highly repeatable gameplay that is par none. Great satire regarding 'Managed Democracy' and great combat that scales well to the players abilities.

Game still has a lot of work to do but its still got great potential.

Big truck go vroom. 8/10

Its one of the best games of the year. And it didnt need 3 year of bug fixes!!! It was made as all games should be!

Payday 3 still has a lot of work to be at the same level as Payday 2, especially when it comes to performance even on high-end rigs.

Pros:
- Being able to close doors significantly improves stealth game play
- Being able to do more than just walk around in casing mode (such as pick locks)
- Maps, especially the first bank, are a lot more realistic than in PD2.

Cons:
- Performance Issues (I Have an RTX2070, i7 10750H, 16 GB of ram and was having lows as little as 1 FPS on recommended settings)
- Guns feel very weak. Headshots on an unsuppressed weapon are not always instant kills even in stealth and sometimes require 3 or 4 shots to kill
- For some reason you cant kill civs while in stealth using melee, which was my number 1 tactic for Payday 2
- ** YOU HAVE TO QUEUE FOR SINGLE PLAYER (private lobby) WHICH CAN AND WILL FAIL TO MATCHMAKE

I hope they resolve these issues, and if they do this game has very good potential.

Edit: After playing many more hours. The lack of things to do is a real problem. I played several hundred hours of PD2 but this has at most 5 hours of unrepeated content, after that you can only repeat the same heists on higher difficulties that dont add much, and none of them are as good as the Starting bank in PD2

Spore 2 when?

Would I recommend being a farmer after playing this game for a full work week? Probably not.

Would I recommend being a virtual farmer after playing this game for a full work week? 100%.
