I started playing Payday 2 with my buddy and we're having a blast for the first couple of hours. The rush of adrenaline of a heist going all loud, the civilian, the mask, the waves of cops, that fucking drill taking 300 seconds to crack open a safe, always have to fix it, the loud music, the shootbangs, the loot, the loading in the van and the gateway with a final shootout in the street. It's amazing.
expect, after that, it's always the same. Sure different heist, different level, randomized patrol, camera placement, safe placement, etc... But it get tedious VERY VERY fast to always wait 300+ seconds for every godamm safe to open and have another jail to drill insinde the same. AND THEN take like 30 seconds to open a deposit box totally blind having no idea if you will get a bag of cash, a ring, some gold bar or a stupid worthless book or empty box.
Going in stealthy ? Impossible with only the two of us. We tried really hard with me playing ghost and there is just too much too handle. Civilian, guards, security cams, security room, security dude in the security room under a 180 seconds drill time, the PAGERS you have to answer, the entire civilian crowd you must control at all time, FUCKING nearbywalkers seeing you through the windows calling cops... It always go loud and you end up shooting endless was of robocops, aimbox wallhacking snipers and taser guys, riot shield hulks and near invicible full IED bullet proof suits.
Sure, i get it. You need the sawblade to crack open the deposit boxes like nuts, but it's locked just before the last skills, it is behind a huge grind fest of money and skill points. Same for basically all classes.
I just don't get it. I just hit a HUGE ass wall as a difficulty curve. I don't know what to do. Just give up ? Because either we keep farming Mallcrashers for 10 hours for cashs for better weapons (and still have random duplicate mods as rewards) or try to go in higher difficulty but the two of us are getting our ass handed over badly in most scenarios.
The problem is also that Skills cost money. SHIT TONS of money. Guns and mods are insanely expensive. you grind, you get cash, you want to upgrade your specs, you can. Maybe. You can to get a new gun ? Half a million bucks for a new AR ? almost a million for the last SMG/Pistol ? 200k for a redot ? Seriously ? It doesn't make ANY sens at all. Why would you want to ruin yourself for a new gun that is less efficient than your modded basic rifle and you don't have the money nor the mods unlocked to upgrade it later.
Also, you drop mods you already have. And you can't trade as far as I know.
I just don't get this game. SO MUCH amazing idea, great great concept and most of it good execution but then it just falls appart in the long run, once you coverted all the heists because the difficulty curves, rewards/progress and entire design is just broken.
Or am I missing something ?
