![]() The details in the heist locations aren’t the best as some of the locations do look flat but overall Overkill Software gave us a good “bonus edition” of the game. It does look like a title that would pop more on Xbox 360 or any last generation console but nevertheless, the Xbox One version of Payday 2: Crimewave Edition does give us great textures and colors in the 140 plus masks and details of our characters. ![]() Playing a game at half the FPS can create uneasy transitions with your weapons, aiming, running around and anything else that revolves around quick movements.īesides the frame rate, visually this title won’t completely astound you but there has been enough work done to present us with a good current generation game. Payday 2: Crimewave Edition only displays at 30 FPS and as we know a first person shooter runs a lot better at the 60 frames per second mark. Hopefully the patch is released soon as many users are probably steering clear of this game until the issues are resolved. This is expected to be fixed as the team is working hard on a patch. When you finally do connect the odds of getting disconnected are quite high. The game freezes up in the server, online and sometimes offline. The best way to play the Overkill and 505 Games title is with your Xbox Live Friends as they would always have your back.Īs mentioned before, the current state of Payday 2: Crimewave Edition’s online server is failing for most users out there. They do help from time to time but for the majority of time it can feel like they are getting in the way. It can be very frustrating to see that even with an AI team for the heists, most of the tasks you are competing solo in. In the Xbox One version of the game there have been a multitude of times that the AI doesn’t have your back, for a lack of a better term. I have done some investigating and realized that the AI in Payday 2 was also just as bad as it is in Payday 2: Crimewave Edition. Some of the heists do get a little repetitive but if you bring along a different team every time the mission does feel a little different and that way strategies won’t repeat.īefore Payday 2: Crimewave Edition I wasn’t too familiar with the previous Payday 2 core game. By completing your mission you upgrade your character which will help you progress. Each heist comes with its fair set of importance. Through several of the heists you will be delivering drugs, cooking drugs, stealing cash, and gathering intelligence of other drug operations. Gun fights will ensue and you must complete the heist with more action coming your way now. If you are caught, the heist hits the fan and things get intense. Most of the missions played start with your character masked up and being as stealthy as possible. Each heist is set with many weapons in hand to take down as many of the enforcements in your way whether it is the public or law enforcers. This is the mantra of Payday 2: Crimewave Edition for those that have never played the series. If we set aside the connectivity issues which are set to be fixed, Payday 2: Crimewave Edition is a good shooter game for a reasonable price.įour players, all with numerous criminal tasks and expertise with one goal in mind: to get paid. There is also confirmation on the official Twitter account of Payday 2 that there will be a patch released for the connectivity issues, but no known date as of yet. This version of Payday 2 comes complete with the original version and all the available DLC which was great to have all in one package. I was still able to complete heists but not as many as I would have liked. ![]() There were about twenty heists, maybe more that I was never able to connect to due to server issues on Crime Net. Over the last two weeks my experiences with Payday 2: Crimewave Edition has been loaded with wait times, frustration and a little bit of fun.
