[QUOTE=Loadingue;52636718]Something that annoys me about both Payday 2 and Raid is that the writing is extremely lazy and forgettable. They both have so much potential, look at how Left 4 Dead made a zombie apocalypse interesting with so little world building, and yet these two games here can hardly even manage to invent a half-interesting character.

Like Jesus, get some actual writers [I]please[/I][/QUOTE]
Part of the reason left 4 dead works so well is not only do the characters talk to each other extensively but there's loads of quiet moments where they can show off their personality
If it was even really small stuff like the gang worriedly talking to each other in between assault waves it would make such a world of difference. Or them interacting with Bain, they should talk back to the guy.
The other thing is there's just an absurd amount of heisters for them to be different so they all end up being one note if anything. The way the game works they're also all good at the exact same things. Houston is supposed to be sneaky? You can play him with rocket launchers and heavy armor. There's nothing in game that says Wolf is the smart one and nothing about Dallas says he's the leader
Wolf, Jacket, Jimmy, and Sydney are all the token **crazy** heister and as a result are pretty interchangeable
real disappointed that they didn't give us the thompson teased right on the table. [sp]I don't like the chicago typewriter's looks[/sp]

I'm kinda divided as to whether I want August tomorrow or another heist, because it seems that's been hinted at too.
Anybody else noticed that the shield death grunt is the same as the bulldozer ones? I havent really payed attention until now.
[QUOTE=usaokay;52639529]The dated engine is hurting it.[/QUOTE]
that and being a payday 2 reskin with less content and slightly altered mechanics
At least Raid goes back to a bit more of a The Heist style of interaction, as instead of a main announcer leading you through, it's the 4 characters who talk about what to do and all that jazz
[QUOTE=PaperMartin;52639880]that and being a payday 2 reskin with less content and slightly altered mechanics[/QUOTE]
Can we please stop saying Raid has less content when we don't even know how much content it has yet?
The only thing to go off is a beta that intentionally cuts out a ton of the game. You can't even go past level 5 when we know there's at least 15 levels because that's when the Mauser C96's Tier 2 upgrades unlock.

somehow I doubt that the base game on release will have as much content as payday 2 ultimate edition.

And I thought TV Tropes was right that the Shield unit uses regular law enforcer dialogue in place of what could be their own ones. I was wrong; the only "dialogue" Shields and Snipers have are their pains, deaths, and burning alive.
…But honestly, it'd make more sense if they talked and said "Shoot and scoot!" like their buddies.
They do talk though, not in a language we can understand, we just perceive it as clanks and bangs.
Whoever voiced those Shield and Snipers deserves an award.
they added some clothes for customisation to unlock.
new heist is really fun, enemies in it can throw a flare that get shot by mortar,etc

So in Firestarter Day 1, there's a new small safe that can be drilled in that now opened up office.
I figured the 'Destroy the weapons' objective was just simple coding, and I was right.
Throwing the money stack bag from the safe into the fire causes an explosion and progresses the 'Destroy weapons' objective
"Gameplay over graphics".
The engine is shit and it makes everything run like utter trash.
Off to a good start with the Beta.
Locked at 1280x720 resolution, keeps stuttering, crashed halfway into the tutorial and now it refuses to boot at all
:ok_hand:
Also isn't Diesel's shit problems the excuse as to why you can only have certain types of attachments and magazines?
I personally didn't have any issues with the beta
though it's highly probable that it's broken as shit anyway, since diesel
[editline]2nd September 2017[/editline]
diesel isn't made for FPS to begin with so that's more on OVK I think
[editline]2nd September 2017[/editline]
loving LGL's timing btw, releasing a questionable coop shooter at the same time as destiny 2
EDIT : Found the config files, along with the crash log.
They're stored in User/Appdata/Local/RAID WW2 Beta , for future reference
