Frame rate gets worse every update, AH doesnt even bother to acknowledge the PC frame rate issues. On top of that the game is STILL blocked in countries that dont have PSN, which is the whole reason everyone was pissed off. Not planning on hopping back into it unless they mention the performance issues. I mean for ♥♥♥♥ sake you lose 50% of your total FPS just by opening the ESC menu and it doesnt fix until its restarted. How do you even ♥♥♥♥ up that bad?????????

Its pretty good if you're more of a fan of the first game than the second one. Both loud and stealth are very fun thanks to the gun play, and the stealth sections being a lot more forgiving of your mistakes.

There is still a lot left to be desired when it comes to quality of life features, I know this is the type of game that you would want to have friends going into a heist with, but match making has been so broken that the game felt dead for the first day until it was sorted out.

XP is now tied to challenges instead of how much loot you steal, which is not a change im in favor for, as if you have already found a skill set and weapon load out that you enjoy, you will be halted in leveling up after awhile.

As for the combat, its no longer the slop day ♥♥♥♥ that Jules made Payday 2 into. Spawn caps are fair, specials are fun and exciting to fight, and the bulldozer is back to its former glory from Payday 1, as the very real threat of ending a heist if the team isnt ready. Some guns feel a little weak, but most of them scratch that itch of satisfying gun play.

Its nice to have another Payday title that actually feels like a co-op game. I just hope they keep it that way, and we dont end up with another payday 2 where the game loses its identity, balance, and difficulty.

The battlefield portal is really fun... sadly that's all I can really say. The hero shooter aspect is boring. No one really takes it seriously, and on top of that they're just spouting generic lines like "That's it, come on!" How can you try and make a hero shooter and give none of them an interesting, or even slightly tolerable personality.

Portal is the most fun I've had, probably because its just previous battlefield games, but that's not enough to justify a positive review. For one while the old maps seem like a good touch, somethings feel a bit off about them. Maybe its the increased player count, for a map that was once made to be 64 players only. I can only imagine the nightmare induced hell metro will deliver (if it ever gets added) that map was already battlefields form of D-DAY with 64 players.

While portal is the most fun, its just better off going to the older battlefields to play what you want. For one there isnt really a proper server browser. You just go to portal, select the game type you want, and hope you get one with your rules. No filters for anything. Sometimes servers showed tags, and other times they didn't. Another deal breaker, is that there really isnt a lot of weapons to pick from for the respected game modes. For example, each class in battlefield 3 had like, 3 guns just for them, while having others that were shared, around 6 or so.

If portal gets more attention, new guns, older maps, and maybe even a few more older battlefield game modes, I'd probably buy it for just under 30 dollars. Until then I'll just stick to hopping between Battlefield 3/4 for my fix.
