Keanu Reeves shooting a movie about a hitman? Nice.

Keanu has to have been dipped in the river Styx or some shit. Fucker hasn't aged since his 20th birthday.

Overkill can't fucking stop doing shit for Payday. They be on their game lately

[QUOTE=TheHydra;46294906]i should've bought payday 2 while it was on sale. the free weekend was really fun. oh well at least i have payday 1[/QUOTE] Payday 2 is still on sale for 75% off.

So, is Keanu voicing this? Article doesn't mention it.

hopefully the movie won't be as "meh" as 47 Ronins

Nice to see him in another movie, this one looks particularity good.

[QUOTE=MadPro119;46294897]Overkill can't fucking stop doing shit for Payday. They be on their game lately[/QUOTE] Well, it IS Crimefest, and they are releasing new content for each day of Crimefest - leading up to the Hoxton Breakout heist.

Faceit is doing a CSGO tourney with a 20k prize for this movie. The John Wick open...

[quote]Moviegoers who purchase tickets to John Wick through Fandango will receive a free download of Payday 2 on Steam.[/quote] Damn son that's pretty awesome.

[QUOTE=NightmareX91;46295501]Well, it IS Crimefest, and they are releasing new content for each day of Crimefest - leading up to the Hoxton Breakout heist.[/QUOTE] With how much this is being hyped I really hope it's not as disappointing as some of the other DLC heists were. The recent ones have been a lot better but overkill still has this amazing skill to make something great and ruin it with one stupid decision.

My brain accidentally added a comma or something after Hitman. So I read "Hitman, John Wick..." and thought of Agent 47 and John Wick as playable in Payday 2

[QUOTE=Melnek;46295283][img]http://i.imgur.com/d2wjXAX.jpg[/img] he looked like a fat messi earlier this year[/QUOTE] Earlier this year? That picture is old as fuck. He's gotten back into shape long since then.

[QUOTE=Melnek;46295283][img]http://i.imgur.com/d2wjXAX.jpg[/img] he looked like a fat messi earlier this year[/QUOTE] That picture is older than Mesopotamia

Whoa.

i'm wondering why it's being released in the UK so much later than in the US. 3 month gap??

Payday 2 is like the Train Simulator of FPS currently.

[QUOTE=animegirl127;46297405]Payday 2 is like the Train Simulator of FPS currently.[/QUOTE] The vast majority of it is free, so I have no qualms with that.

Huh, really? This should be interesting, i still don't know what to really think about John Wick

[QUOTE=TheAdmiester;46297435]The vast majority of it is free, so I have no qualms with that.[/QUOTE] The heists are anyway, in terms of weapons and customization there's more content behind a paywall in PD2 than there is in BF4.

Gonna be honest, if I actually enjoyed the game mechanics of PAYDAY 2 I would fucking love all this DLC they've been doing recently.

[QUOTE=TheAdmiester;46297435]The vast majority of it is free, so I have no qualms with that.[/QUOTE] The majority of the DLCs so far are paid actually, and the price is already adding up. It's a damn shame that people have to pay extra for sniper rifles, LMGs, better weapon mods etc, but fortunately they're still doing some great content for free.

I personally can't wait to see what a Keanu Reeves model in Payday 2 looks like. Fuck it, let's get Tom Cruise from Collateral in there too.

Still, the game gives me the kind of teamplay I've always wanted -pretty sure I'll start using more voice comms if I want to get serious about it- and hasn't dissapointed at all so far. Incredibly fun and challenging.
