Forums - Gaming - Payday 2 announced for Switch

I've platinumed this game on ps3 and the upgraded version on ps4 so I've put in many hours into this title.  

And I can tell you with absolute certainty the developers of this are scumbags.  This is no doubt a fun game but if you are the kinda person who doesn't support shitty devs don't buy this.  I'll update you why below.

MEGATON!!!!!!! (Why is this a thing)

PSN: b00mosconi

This was indeed a weird announcement



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

Third party support.



So the payday 2 devs treat console versions like shit. They promised lots of the pc updates on ps3/360 but abandoned them with barely any support.

They promised a deluxe ps4/xb1 version but also treated it like shit. 1 big update and it's a rip off in terms of price. Nothing since.

They don't patch known game breaking bugs that have plagued the game for years. If you have the ability to back up your save do because it will be lost eventually when it's corrupted during one of the many crashes the game experiences.

On XB1 the servers were barely working for months and it took them bloody ages to patch it.

They actually had good will from their pc fans before they shit that all away too by adding micro-transactions.

The game is actually very fun and good but it has so many flaws that stem from the shitty and lazy devs. be prepared to love it but then pull your hair out with frustration.

But you still did buy the PS3 and PS4 upgraded version and even platinumed on both PS3/PS4 ... I want your reasoning cuz your statement is kinda contradictory.

Read my second post above.  It's the worst good game I've ever played.  

 

I got it free on ps plus so I didn't care but they promised to sort themselves out with the PS4 version.  And they didn't.  Glitches from the ps3 days were still present.  And these are the kind of glitches that break your save file and you have to start from scratch losing months of progress. 

 

I bought it on ps4 for $30 so that's all these devs got out of me.  When they make payday 3 even if it's perfect I'm waiting until it's $20 on sale before buying out of protest. 



So this is a FPS? If it has motion aiming, I'll check it out.



Was unexpected, nice, but not interested

Don't think it will sell well either though

I don't see this game selling well tbh.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

It will be interesting to see how this game ends up selling on the Switch.

One one hand the game did originally come out in 2013 and is an old ass port to the Switch, but on the other hand it is also extremely popular still, just take a look at how many people are still constantly playing it on Steam.

There are no other FPS's on the Switch currently either (at least not any that I can think of?) , so if they got it out sooner than later in the year perhaps people would buy it just because they want an FPS to play on their Switch. It's also a game big on multiplayer, which is one of the reasons the Switch was essentially made for, and if they could get the controls onto a single Joy-Con this could easy be one of those games that get popular with just handing 3 other Joy-Cons to some friends and playing a heist together.
