Time for a serious review after all the 3k playtime hours jokes
*Last updated 17/11/15*

CONS:
-After crimefest 2015 Overkill has added microtransactions into the game and completely ruined the playerbase with Crates, Skins and a bunch of other crap. The game is now completely Pay2Win and none of the 'Free' fun is in it.
And paid skins actually give you an advantage. yay.
Not to mention 2 years ago they promised to never ever add microtransactions and then hoped people would forget a few years later and back stab them. shame on you overkill!

-Short repetitive maps with small objectives, most maps are just drilling, getting cash and going to the escape zone.
Only a few maps are low with lots of objectives and loud action such as Hotline Miami, but those aren't a lot of maps.
Most maps are just small with not many verities, most missions require you to camp at a small place and fight through waves of cops. compared to PAYDAY: The Heist where everything is open with lots of objectives and places to look through.

-A 2 years old game that hasn't been optimized since the release, the players have to trust and struggle with mods in order to get a playable FPS in game.
And of course the latest maps they released, received a crap ton of complains about low FPS because the maps are so huge and their game is so poorly optimized.

-The textures are so rubbish that modders have to make HD mods so you could enjoy something rather than 1024 textures of your character model or NPC's dropped weapons (etc)
Sometimes i stand in a corner and see pixels on the floor trying to look like a pepsi can and other trash.

-AI is literally useless in this game, all they do is follow you and help you up.
Nothing else, absolutely nothing. so Multiplayer co-op is the main focus of this game, offline isn't as enjoyable as online.

-Apparently DLC releases are more important than bug fixes
The game has a shit ton of bugs that haven't been fixed since the release.

-If you want to actually enjoy the game and advance most your weapons to be Death Wish compatible you will need to purchase a few of the DLCs, or else its nearly impossible for a beginner.
If you don't pay, you are simply underpowered. Thank god there's no PvP.
Although its nice that paying for DLC isnt a must to play a certain map.
(Seriously RPG, Nade launchers and Flame throwers are great)

-A community based off most players farming their infamy ranks on SR or HB and considering themselves pros and kicking everyone under the level Infamy 5 from their lobbies and considering themselves as Godlike heisters.
No one actually cares about the heist plan, your role or the in game objectives.
All they care is that medic or ammo bag you bring to the heist to supply them.

-Over 2 years old free promised content hasn't been released until this very day.

-Most lobbies are too mainstream that its simply hard to find something different these days, like a loud Bank Heist or a Heli escape on Big Bank (you get the point).

-Developers listen to the community yet they are too bitchy to invest in a Workshop or a proper freaking in game AntiCheat.

-Infamy ranks are not as satisfying as you might think, they're actually easy to grind and a shit that isn't rewarding.

PROS:
+Cheap DLCs (recently also got a price drop)
+Monthly updates (DLC fun)
+Not a lot but enough free content from time to time to keep the Helmets Flying
+Mod support but they won't bother investing a workshop so we stop paying for sites to save mods
+4 and maybe more years of in game content support (2 more years of dlc and free content)
+A somewhat "Okay" plot in the background of the PAYDAY gang and Hoxton's betrayal.
+Wide variety of weapons, masks, modifications and so on.
+A somewhat balanced skills and perks system yet still buggy at some points.


I wrote a lot larger review than this but steam didn't let me post this because i wrote too much.
Anyways, i will clearly keep playing this game. i don't dislike it but i experienced and saw way too much in game to know that this game isn't something a new player would enjoy.
I would personally uninstall and ask for a refund if i tried to join lobbies 10 times in a row and some infamy trashy decides to kick me instead of giving me tips or helping me out.

Also, this is not a DLC complain post, i own them all and will probably own future ones as well.
No flame no hate, i love Almir and the other developers but you can't force the whole community to behave and stop being as cocky as Hoxton is to Houston.

edit: Yes, know my English is absolute MINT.
