Payday 2

[Jeb_CC]

X3 Well I think they're golden. The developers I'm sure have worked really hard on this. They deserve praise for the amount of work they put into the game. And if you're talking about the car shop heist, I think it's pretty decent. It's fun! Stealth around, try to not get caught, find a name, find a computer. It's great as long as you're not playing it on Deathwish. Because, it might as well be a deathwish. XD Although, It's impossible to play Deathwish without a good crew of people who have practiced and work together fine. Also that new enemy is cool. I don't see how it's not a threat. o.O It was on my tail for a good while. You try and hide from it, but oh no! Enemies! So you retreat back out into the open and BLAM, dead. It's great. The four new masks, Speedrunners masks? X3 I care about that game. I care about the crossover. It's a fun game, and they're nice looking masks. And as for the new character, I've seen plenty of people playing as her. My friend frequently plays as her. I don't see why we should be asking for things though. Why complain when they give us stuff we haven't asked for? Isn't that parenting 101? X3 Were you get a reward without asking for one. New stuff! I ain't complaining.

So someone comes up to me and shits in my hands. It's free, and they worked hard on, it might of taken days for that shit to be made, but it was free and I shouldn't complain right? Maybe your attitude would be different if you had played it from beta or from launch and had over 1,000 hours in it. This is why I removed you from steam since I know we will not get along, have a nice day.

._. Geez. I was just stating my opinion. XD So what if you don't like it? So what if I like it? Does it matter? No! My boyfriend has over 1000+ hours played on TF2, he doesn't complain when new stuff comes out. But that's his opinion. X3 There's nothing wrong with an opinion. I was just stating mine.

A heads up, to anyone that actually plays this shitfest of a game. I greatly recommend getting the new BLT hook for modding. Since it's a lot easier to install/remove mods as it's a simple modding GUI of drag and drop rather editing YML files. One issue though is if you still use any scripts that DO use YML, I assure you it's very easy to convert them to the new format.

 

There's plenty of examples here, ya just need to learn what to copy and paste into what. I'll be happy to help anyone that needs assistance.

This post is pretty great. X3

I'm nuking OP because the Stabin Cabin group doesn't really play Payday 2 any more. Feel free to keep the thread up for Payday related discussion however.

[K4_Kydure]

The Alesso Heist has been released, lets see if they actually put as much effort into it as they said they have. One really good thing about this update is you can now control the shadow map resolution, something that should of been there since 2013.

 

Edit: SURPRISE, it's not very good. The story behind the heist is stupid, the song sucks, snipers that are in complete and total darkness so you can't see them, and Overkill continues to make the Technician class useless by not allowing you to breach important doors, there being no drills, and making you find the mission C4, rather than just using the ones you already fucking have on you.

 

I feel sorry for anyone who actually bought this DLC.

[Jeb_CC]

I kinda liked the Alesso Heist. X3 It was certainly different, I give it credit for that. But yeah, those annoying useless Technician traits. XD "I HAVE C4 DAMMIT, WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT FROM ME!?"

And I've almost never used a silent drill to my benefit before so. :I

 

In other news, for the fun of it, I'm making a card game based on PayDay 2. I've worked out the rules and how to actually play it but it DEFINITELY needs some fixing around. I could post it here if anyone is interested. 1-4 players, but the fewer players you have, the harder it is. Like... seriously. You will want to play with at least another person (Or you can play as more than one character by yourself).

But yeah, it needs some tweaking. It seems really easy at times, then other times too hard. And it's playable with just a simple deck of cards and a dice. Anyone like?

The Golden Grin casino has been announced. Lets hope they didn't blow it with this one.

So... The Golden Grin Casino is preeeetty good. X3 It's also really pretty in appearance too. XD It's amazing; the pretty lights, the statues, the design.

The one thing I absolutely love about this new heist, is that it FEELS like a stealth mission. Usually in other heists, Bain will tell you a code, then later he'll input it in himself. But with this heist, you actually have to write down shit. Which is amazing. Codes and vaults, the lot! Makes me so excited every time I play it. X3 Although, it's very very hard. Kinda makes me wish checkpoints existed.

I did do it on Deathwish though. But I'm told it doesn't make a big difference.

As for loud, it can get very chaotic very quickly. Since the casino in general is just a big open space, it's very easy to get separated. But it's not as hard as stealth. :3 Did it quite easily, only needed one try. Also got some good bow practice too. X3 Shooting people from afar like a badass. Feeeeels good. Overall, love the new heist! It's very buggy though. XD But I'm sure that the devs are aware of it. Graphics bug, object glitching, AI broken. Hopefully there'll be patches for those soon.

[K4_Kydure]

The power creep is real with Overshill. You can't really expect any DLC to be sensibly balanced at this point. At least the newest heister has a real backstory this time. Ten times better than the "useless fatass that just got out of jail and wants to be in a gang" story.

 

Otherwise I've been helping my husband with his mod. You can find it here if you want to take a look.

So the FBI files and the new enemy are finally here after over a year since they were unlocked. Lets hope the wait was worth while.

[Jeb_CC]

I thought the FBI files trailer thing was another DLC, but seeing as it's just an update, this makes me less disappointed and more happy. X3

 

But wow, seems like an awesome mod! I don't reckon I'd use it myself, cause I'm a wimp. X3 But I will recommend it to my PayDay2 playing friends! They might fancy taking a look.

 

Okay, what DLC I REALLY want, is a parkour DLC. You know, jumping, climbing. Although, that's probably not really gonna happen - since it gives room to just bypass objects that would usually stand in the way of the player getting to their objective. But it'd still be cool. None of this, jump off the roof and break my legs shit. X3 Just lower yourself down, it's not hard!

 

Also, I've heard news of a new Australian heister. If the voice is decent, I'mma play the shit out of her. For me, when it comes to the heisters, as long as their voice is pleasing to my ears, or funny or whatever, they're on the good list. And Irish and Australian accents are cute as fuck.

[K4_Kydure]

I say try the mod anyway. The game in general is much more fun when the AI is actually smart. Besides, you'd need the mod installed if you want to play with those friends who try it.

[K4_Kydure]

The new update created a bug with my husband's mod that causes the framerate to slowly drop over time.

 

Otherwise the FBI files are cute, at least it also gives some more details about how we canonically dealt with them. With things like The Bomb: Forest and Election Day: Day 2 being the canon days for those missions.

 

Edit: From the looks of things on the forums the "new" enemy is a joke, just a reskined shield with more HP. He's also buggy as all hell and the bug with the mod still hasn't been sorted out yet. I'm just hoping it can actually be fixed. Problem solved.

[K4_Kydure]

Time for Disappointment Fest again. Lets see what underwhelming crap we get this year and wait another year for that crap to be released.

[Jeb_CC]

I like the idea of the FBI files stuff, but yeah, that enemy though. :/ At least it's just a sort of update, and we're not paying for the disappointment. XD It could be worse.

[K4_Kydure]

BREAKING NEWS: Chains has already been unlocked by cheating.

[Jeb_CC]

That Crimefest trailer though... some of the YouTube comments gave me a good giggle. XD

"And Wolf, stay off the cave."

"Four Doors new heist??????????????????????????????????????????"

And regarding the actual video, it looks really nice. X3 Graphics and lighting, gorgeous!

 

EDIT: Oh, and Wolf is adorable.

[K4_Kydure]

I thought the lighting looked awful, the torches in particular were dreadful. Coyote (the animator) is also a hack and a shill for not releasing the face poseable versions of heisters.
