IGN Reviews - PayDay: The Heist Game Review

[BrownChocolate4sure]

I HAVENT SEEN SMOKE THIS BAD, SINCE SUPER NINTENDO!

[privatetryhard227]

ummm ever scince this game came out the crime rate has gone up....

[SHIZ604]

2:03 his gamertag is poop lol

[ProletarianTakeover]

I bought it last week. It's really good. It's definitely my favorite downloadable game on PSN.

[MediumRare103]

<3 This game

[TheGoodStrongman]

Me honestly i love the way the weapon feels it may just be me but i really like it

THUMBS ZUP IF YOU AGREE

[deadhawk1212]

Alright let me tell you something.

I LOVE THIS GAME, and you really should pick it up.

But sometimes the AI can be difficult...

I was almost done Slaughterhouse and then i got downed inside of a cargo container.

unfortunately, the AI was extremely retarded and didn't know how to enter one.

Dont get me wrong though, its very good and precise, and playing online is a blast!

Don't get fooled by the server count though, just set one up and it'll flood with players!

[Dannyx33444]

just got it on steam :)

[LiangHuBBB]

@Dannyx33444 How much does it cost on steam and was it worth to get it in your opinion?

[Dannyx33444]

@LiangHuBBB its was 20 dollars. i didnt get to into yet so i cant tell you if its worth buying but so far i like it

[thatcanadaguy2]

What's system is this on

[idandfriends]

@thatcanadaguy2 PS3 and PC; no 360 though

[PineappleGamer12]

"So why do they call him the Joker?"

[someguywithgames]

the teaser guy piss me the fuck off

[someguywithgames]

this game has the best co op this year if have friends dont miss it

[D1NOSAWR]

I want a review done of this review...

[codebulder]

lolz stiff gun play= QQ this game has no auto aim!!!!

[epicmw2guy]

7.5 just got done playing this game for 2 hours and THIS GOT A 7.5 IGN IS A BUNCH OF COD NOOBS

[TOBORtheMighty]

Wow... The game is not that hard. Most of the objectives have timers, many objectives give progress updates via character voice-over. The only thing I didn't figure out my first hour was the levelling system, which I figured out by like my 5th game... It's not hard to figure out, at all.

The game's biggest problem is polish. Cops occasionally walk through walls or over gaps. Other than that, it's amazing. The guns feel solid, the game offers an excellent progression in challenge. Now it has DLC

[Agent474life]

I know this is a game but thats kind of dumb to say ''people were wondering how long it would take for something to burn because the game doesnt give you a timer'' well that because when phosphorus is burning through a bank vault in real life, a giant timer doesnt float in mid air.

[bearfire0606]

PSN "munshaw' anyone wanna play?

[TheN64Clans]

PSN: I-Love-Gingers anyone wanna play??

[SuperVivalarevolutio]

Psn: ChloroformKyle I NEED good teamates request if you can help.

[theunchartedmen]

should i buy this game

[FallenM16]

torrenting this game atm.

[BatteryBlaster]

@FallenM16 come on, just buy it and support the developers. People like you are why SOPA is a thing

[FallenM16]

@BatteryBlaster nty this game isnt even worth buying i just torrented it Nope....not that good of a game

[doneystoney]

They should make a mode where one team plays as the bank robbers and the others play as cops and SWAT. That would be awesome.

[TMGWhiteBoiii]

Is this game for xbox360 or just pc?

[sabbath275]

@TMGWhiteBoiii only for pc and ps3

[bigbosssolidsnake10]

I really didn;t cae much for this game. Just felt like it should have been much less Linear and had more depth

[LemonFarmers]

multiplayer gameplay of the heist on our channel :)

[TheSilentOne50]

THERE WAS A FIREFIGHT!

[MrThewhiteindian]

@TheSilentOne50 For a few seconds, this place was Armageddon!

[OcifferNasty2012]

If you would stop and look at the drills or the saws it tells you how long it will be until it is done and the people usually announce how long it will be until they get there or until an assault wave is incoming

[CookieTheSniper]

Bank mamanger comes to check out what the emploee is doing on his computer in his room:

Bank Manager: Whatcha doing, kiddo?

Emploee: Playing PayDay: The Heist

Bank Manager: 0_o

[KingsofSparta]

clown mask is gonna be my airsoft mask :)

[BeenieBomb]

@KingsofSparta Awesome person is awesome :D

[pwnmaster9]

CHUCK NORRIS IS A FUCKNG HUNTER I KNOOOOWWWWW

[xArchD3vil]

This game reminds me of the starting of the Dark Knight, where joker and his men robs the bank and uses clown masks :D

[PYERIST]

@xArchD3vil That's the whole reason why I bought this game haha :P

[TheSilentOne50]

@xArchD3vil They pretty much ripped off that scene and made into a game.

[grunthunter44]

@xArchD3vil that's most likely where they got the inspiration for the clown masks lol

[TOBORtheMighty]

@xArchD3vil Have you seen Point Break or Heat? This game features nods to lots of awesome robberies. They've even added the Dead Presidents masks unlocks in the latest update.

[PvtHudson6]

How fucking dumb do you have to be to contact a developer to figure out how to level up in this game? How on earth do you have a job reviewing video games for a living?

[jqc104]

Anyone has the game so we can play send pen name

[ReconSpec]

ARE YOU KIDDING ME.... He contacted PR to find out what to do... Does this person not have any common sense?

[HaloPowerGun]

wow you guys gave mw3 a betten rating than this payday is da s**t it deserves a 9.0

[XxXRangerXxX]

Deserves fucking 9.5/10 this guys a vegetable, it has timers, only the burning and helicopter pickups are unspecific.

[fuckyoucauleehogan]

portal 2 diddnt hold your hand AT ALL and it got a 10

[UT3610]

This game caused me alot of ps3 freezinf and 2 to 3 times of ps3 corruptions

[AbeastWaffle]

but...IS THERE FUCKING SPLITSCREEEEN!?!?!

[SonicMon1]

@AbeastWaffle nope

[vincentpol]

This game is horrible. Just CoD in a bank robbing jacket. Everything is overly scripted and it's completely missing the point of a robbery. They should have made it more about preparation. Things like taking out as many security systems before getting noticed. Quietly containing all individuals in the bank, without letting anyone alert the cops, then threatening everyone with your gun instead of just blasting it like yet another lame shooter. Comparing the gamedepth to l4d is just insulting.

[Lefiath]

@vincentpol It's mindless and entertaining coop shooter. And yes, it's pretty much L4D in heat style. I don't see anything insulting about that, I have played both games and I don't see s reason to get angry about this.

[vincentpol]

@Lefiath The reason I'm upset with this game, is because it 'is' just another mindless shooter. Like in CoD, the theme is unimportant to the gameplay, because there almost isn't any. They could have made the game about zombies, aliens, stormtroopers, you name it. The excitement of pulling a heist like they'd do in real life or in the movies is in no way translated to the gameplay. That's just design 101. It's tiring, because developers could be doing so much better.

[CreditDue52]

@vincentpol What the fuck do you know about the "excitement" of pulling a heist? When was the last time you robbed a bank? Clearly evident you expected way too much from this game

[vincentpol]

@CreditDue52 "The excitement of pulling a heist like they'd do in real life ---->'or in the movies'<---- is in no way translated to the gameplay."

[sims3master101]

i got this game for free on ps3! gamesharing for the win!

[stephen8898]

Awesome game 13.99 in psn

[adamyoshi]

@stephen8898 13.39 on steam!

[gimpinmypants]

I got Payday for free. Someone traded my coal for the game. I love Steam.

[Scottsmaster1]

AWESOME GAME! A well spent $20 on PSN. Hopefully DLC comes out for this game for $5-$10. Although I'm loving the 6 maps that come with the game I was hoping it would come with more than that. But other than that it's definitely worth the $20.

[Vpopov81]

How could they not and auto aim in the game

[grimsonfart]

haha freddiew's battlefield 3 commercial !!!

[GHandPivot]

@lhgpiano Where the hell did you find it for 5 dollars?

[overkil4815]

Holy shit a game that actually makes you think

[GammaX107]

y'all shouldn't rely on career reviewers as your sole basis on buying the game or not. It's 50% off on Steam right now- its ten bucks.

Long story short, its most likely worth your ten dollars it's definitely not a bad game and it's above average in most departments.

[CRAZYKID123454321]

So which one should I get? Pay day the heist or borderlands??

[TWISTEDxSCOOT]

@CRAZYKID123454321 pay day

[UT3610]

@CRAZYKID123454321 No dont get payday the game isnt big buy borerlands its also cheap and the game is big

[lhgpiano]

@UT3610 payday is 5 dollars right now... borderlands is 15

[Fruffl3s]

@CRAZYKID123454321 Payday. Borderlands is good for about half an hour, and then it's just repetitive.

[Skullomaniaaaa]

@Fruffl3s Playing the same handful of maps with the same objectives every single time won't get boring at all, right?

[Fruffl3s]

@Skullomaniaaaa Nope. It's never the same twice.

[Skullomaniaaaa]

@Fruffl3s Whoops, my mistake. I always thought doing the same exact thing over and over meant... you're doing the same thing over and over (AKA:repetitive)! Silly me.

[Fruffl3s]

@Skullomaniaaaa No. Repetitive is the exact same thing over and over. Payday isn't.

Besides, Borderlands IS repetitive, because it is EXACTLY the same thing over and over. Kill X amount of X.

[Skullomaniaaaa]

@Fruffl3s If it was EXACTLY the same, there wouldn't be any "X". That implies that the amount and type of enemies your killing are different each time.

As opposed to Payday where you can list each map with all of their respective tasks and they will never be any different 200 hours in than when you first loaded up the game.

[UT3610]

@Fruffl3s Yea i totally agree with you Borderlands for me got really bored quick cuz u pretty much arent able to do alot of things

[conqab]

I'd respect IGN more if they came off as professional as they think they are. Poor conveyance sounds much better than bad explanation.

[Rldm1012]

It's like for 9€ on Steam... Is It Worth It? plz reply !

[Dominatorpatrick1]

@Rldm1012 i would tell you but i cant download it because the steam servers are busy

[Rldm1012]

@Dominatorpatrick1 VERY busy :S but thanks anyway :)

[Speedpogo]

Guys, if you don't think his opinions are correct, let it be. Arguing won't help

[MrTimethings]

The game is really lots of FUN

[robertparkersmu]

i played this game and i thought it was absolutely horrible. i just couldnt get into it at all. waste of my time

[LordoftheMojave]

I love this game but when will more missions be released.

[xG4m3rJ4m3z]

I love this game. It's so much fun.

[HatersGonnaHate2001]

the instructions are fine, having someone tell you how many seconds and minutes exactly right isn't realistic.

[plutog1]

I still can't figure out how to roll or hit someone????

[Fojo34]

I swear this is streeter from collegehumor whos commentating this

[kdragonballz]

If your thinking about robbing banks don't! Lol

[PopularityChance]

Look's like a good game! All & all I don't think I would like it all to much for long,without a Online Multiplayer Experience to add to the enjoyment,I think that would be a fun,add on. Someone could,develop something interesting & entertaining,to add to the single player/coop,while keeping the online play fresh,and appealing.

[Quebec753]

This or crysis 1 for ps3?

[darbusmaximus]

@Quebec753 That's tough. I'd say this. Just cause you really should play Crysis on a PC.(a good one) I'm still saving money so I can get a good PC. That way, I can play Crysis correctly. :)

[9cloudersprofile]

@Quebec753 Niether,ps3 sucks

[hallowatsup1]

Wtf? Doesn't explain itself ? Since when did CoD had a multiplayer background ? They gave that repetitive bullcrap a 9.5

[TheBlankityblank]

Anyone else have bad mouse lag? with this game?

[CaptainChirac]

@TheBlankityblank Disable V-synch.

[jerkakame]

one of the few times I agree with IGN almost 100%

[vikuuta]

Ok IGN, shit as always

[7death7note7]

NICCCCCCCCE GAME BUT MAYBE MAKE ME A CRIMINAL ??????

[freebird2307]

@xXE4GLEyEXx lol its so true. i found the leveling system piss easy to understand also

[hamza641]

You had to call PayDay PR? That's pretty sad bro.

[nickgonzales1999]

roses are brown violets are brown someone shit in my garden

[debbider]

The guy who reviewed this has the IQ of a pet rock,the upgrade system is extremely easy to work out and the game tells you precisely what yo do in the different missions

Moron

[youtabeer]

@debbider

I find that highly offensive. My pet rock is very smart.

[donut11975]

@debbider actually a pet rock has a bigger IQ

[freebird2307]

i hate how he lowers the score because the game does not hold your hand

[xXE4GLEyEXx]

@freebird2307 yeah its finally a game that is not Noob friendly and IGN has to point it down for that :( i figured out the leveling system within 5 minutes in the game :D

[youtabeer]

@freebird2307

waaaah! call of duty better, call of duty tells me who to follow with big yellow text!

[TheAnimator1808]

ok i like skyrim but WHY THE FUCK DOES THERE HAVE TO BE AN ADVERT FOR IT ON EVERY SINGLE VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!

[theamazinghairball]

@TheAnimator1808 what?

[gamelucked97]

this game is very enjoyable.completing series of objectives is fun.Brink does the same thing but i don see the fun inside of it.I like the leveling up in the game eventhough itz hard to level up.I am currently in Level 6.The only thing i don know is whether Payday:The Heist owns the Left 4 Dead style gameplay.

[jecklestein777]

so let me get this straight, the only reason this dip stick gave the game a bad review was because he was too noobish to find out shit on his own...IGN reviewers need to give it up, a rock could do a better job reviewing a game than this guy.

[AllowLuke]

@jecklestein777 since when was 7.5 a "bad review". it seems nowadays games have to achieve a 9.0 rating or more to be considered good. 7.5 is good. 9 is great. everyone is so sore and picky.

[UT3610]

@AllowLuke Totally agree with you these companies think there professional reviewers but in the real world reviewing a game is just one person's opinion im 100% sure that none of the reviewers will agree with this.

[NounVerbNumber]

whats the matter, can't do shit when everything isn't told to you like a 4 year old

[TheChhis]

hat game is best rhis or left 4 dead 2

[1tothe2and3]

oh no a game that doesn't holds your hand with every step you make. How dare they ! /sarcasm off

[GamerDude200]

@1tothe2and3 Having a timer or a marker to display objectives isn't holding your hand.

[VesuvioX4]

"Poor Explanations"?

Ladies and gentlemen, the Console-generation in a nutshell.

[RandomMusicVidMaker]

I bought this game because of Reservoir Dogs.....

[virginiasaintj]

thumps up if you got for 10$ on steam

[unknownuser890]

@virginiasaintj thumbs up for you! steam rules!

[astrorider1]

[virginiasaintj]

[marship0p]

[Maxified666]

[randomsimsy]

[BeastlyKO7]

2:52 like somethin out of exorcist

[hazenpaul10]

[krisnrt]

"The game doesn't give you some sort of timer, your just left to accompilsh the task at hand, while realsitic..." It's suppose to be realistic ¬¬' You would never know when a fire is gunna burn out -.-'

[Unterschiedliche]

So 6 maps to replay forever? How would any1 not get bored?

[phille1337]

another swedish game.............Hell Yeah ! :D

[Jake01078]

[phille1337]

[hard339]

[EATMYBULLETSORDIE]

0:12 lol POOP1569 IN LOBBY :)

[xenodolf]

I wish this was for the 360. I need something to tide me over until Kane & Lynch 2 gets some DLC.

[TheMproductions]

is this game long?

will 6 missions be 6 very short missions, its ok to replay them but not if they're super short.

Appreciate any help, thanks!

[DjBrieon]

@TheMproductions each misson last about 20 or 25 minutes.

[TheMproductions]

@DjBrieon ahh i see, after some research i found out that the missions change everytime you play them, different places to pick items up.

there is dlc on the wau too so i guess that makes it a better deal. thanks!

[phille1337]

@TheMproductions its about 150 things to do in the game

[MrHolmes1201]

is this an arcade game or does it come in a disk cuz i was confused when he said is ot worth your 20 dollars

[jrmet19994life]

@MrHolmes1201 it's a psn game on play station network

[AussieRedCall14]

this is good, but the controls are a little too chunky

[XxxDemiGodxxX1]

Is this on Xbox 360? how come this is the first time i've heard of it? i check IGN daily

[AussieRedCall14]

@XxxDemiGodxxX1 psn exclusive. sorry

[naval8viator]

@AussieRedCall14 Um, its also on Steam.

[fareedbakhit]

@XxxDemiGodxxX1 it's for the ps3 you can only get it by download via PSN.

[TheBlankityblank]

@fareedbakhit It is also on PC from Team.

[fareedbakhit]

@TheBlankityblank i know i have notice that right after i post that comment after two days.

[dlonewolf69]

I'm very confused on the reputation system, does each character have their own pros/cons or are they just cosmetic appearances, like Left 4 Dead? Can someone please explain before I buy this game?

[youtabeer]

@dlonewolf69

Cosmetic.

[debbider]

Does anyone have a rough estimate of how long the missions go for in this game?

[youtabeer]

@debbider

Anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour.

[debbider]

@youtabeer Kool thats pretty sweet,cheers for that

[BandofGamerz]

@debbider half an hour

[Zestypanda]

@BandofGamerz What the hell are you talking about? It's on steam, do some fucking research before you go speaking out of your ass like you know everything.

[BandofGamerz]

@Zestypanda what comment r u talking about i just said that the missions are about half an hour long

[MastuhGza]

It's a cool and fun game.

[BlackSmokeStudios]

Don't compare this with skyrim or whatever weird fantasy, magic, crap you're into, don't argue about it on a completely different game, I don't know any other first person game that is solely about heists and crime. Don't bring your battle here, take it too the streets... ok don't, just on a chat room or on your on games videos

[darbusmaximus]

@BlackSmokeStudios Yeah...sorry about that bro. I said one thing about it and the guy wanted to have a full scale flame war on why Skyrim was going to be the hottest thing since sliced bread. This game really is special though. I plan on getting it.

[UT3610]

I haven't gotten allowance yet so i only have 50 bucks, i cant choose wat to buy i want payday but at he same time black ops i never played bo before so pls help

[XschlabbersackX]

@UT3610 Don't buy Black Ops! Worst Shooter ever !

[Hardrock131]

@UT3610 if you buy black ops, it will be the worst mistake you every made. the game is simplay terrible. i would recomend getting dead space 2, assassins creed 2, uncharted 2 or 3 if you have a ps3

[UT3610]

@Hardrock131 thx man
