[h3]Игра с которой для меня начался Steam.[/h3] Это первая игра в моём Steam, которую я получила на бесплатной раздаче 16 октября 2014 года. Она же стала моим первым шутером. Тогда я и представить не могла, что проведу в ней 500 часов. PAYDAY™ The Heist - эта игра, в которой всё строится вокруг командной работы. Здесь действительно важно прикрывать друг друга, следить за ресурсами, вовремя поднимать союзников и быстро реагировать на постоянно меняющуюся ситуацию. Несмотря на небольшое количество ограблений, каждое из них запоминается. Они заставляют учиться на своих ошибках, а пройти миссию с первой попытки - скорее исключение. Даже на нормальной сложности игра легко наказывает за малейшую ошибку, поэтому до успешного ограбления порой приходится делать далеко не одну попытку. Даже спустя столько лет стрельба ощущается отлично. Оружием приятно пользоваться, а визуально игра до сих пор выглядит достойно. Отдельно хочется отметить атмосферу. Строгие костюмы, знаменитые маски, нескончаемые волны полиции и постоянное ощущение, что всё вот-вот пойдёт не по плану. Саундтрек идеально поддерживает это напряжение, превращая каждое ограбление в настоящий боевик. Конечно, возраст игры ощущается: графика уже не современная, а миссий хотелось бы побольше. Но если хочется почувствовать себя профессиональным грабителем и увидеть, с чего началась легендарная серия PAYDAY, то PAYDAY™ The Heist до сих пор способна подарить массу удовольствия. PAYDAY™ The Heist подарила мне огромное количество эмоций. Для меня эта игра всегда будет особенной. Именно с неё началось моё знакомство со Steam, жанром шутеров и серией PAYDAY. И спустя столько лет я всё ещё с теплотой вспоминаю те бесконечные попытки довести очередное ограбление до конца.
The game is much better then Payday 2 in many ways, but is lacking in content. The content that is there is almost perfect, other than a few issues. For $10, its one of the best games at that price point that i've ever played.
A co-op game that encourages and reward smart plays as every second of decision counts while weighing you down with bots that doesnt know how to sprint and position themselves correctly. Fun game when you know how to hold on on your own or got one real player on your team.
The "grounded" Payday experience that Payday 3 tries to be, and fails at.
for as little content as it has it's a fun game, i like the gritty vibe to it and the gun play holds up to this day however dallas is ugly as ♥♥♥♥
отличный симлятор ограбления! круто срежисированы ограбления,каждое играется по уникальному. стрельба очень приятная и имеет хороший импакт. Тут плюсы кончаются.... главный минус это сложность игры,даже на нормальной сложности пройти не реально сложно и это бесит,ибо не всегда можно найти 3 друзей для коопа . Система прогресии искуствено растянута и открыть калаш тот же не реально долго и приходится одни и те же задания проходить .... Онлайн к сожалению маленький и нужно звать друзей играть. В целом игра отличная в своём жанре и советую поиграть .
After playing the closed beta of PAYDAY 3 back in 2023, I was completely disappointed with PAYDAY 3 and moved back to PAYDAY 2. Later this year, I was thinking about getting PAYDAY: The Heist to see what it looks like. To be honest, this game is really good. The graphics might be dated, but the gameplay is still amazing. Highly recommended to play with your friends, or you can play offline by yourself. Score: 10/10
Pros: 1080p resolution supported, epic soundtrack, subtitles are on by default, vertical sync is off by default, basic advanced graphical settings, single player & online mode supported, multiple difficulty modes, well designed maps, action packed heist gameplay, “No Mercy” map from Left 4 Dead is available Cons: no borderless windowed mode, the game did not save my video and resolution settings upon closing the game the first time around (I had to redo them when restarting the game), no tutorial, computer AI is hit or miss, enemy clown car spawn points, slow progression & unlocks, maximum ammo capacity is a bit low for me, no mouse wheel functionality, no actual full stealth win condition (although that is possible in Payday2), small map list, multiplayer is a bit of a ghost town, reloading is cancelled when sprinting, paid DLC’s which includes the technician class Overall, I bought this game on sale & have 2 hours as of the writing of this review. I first played Payday2 in the series & have decided to check out the first game that started it all. This game is a classic with some flaws but worth checking out. Payday: The Heist has my recommendation
Its a fun game to heist win friends or random people. The community is good, they are willing to help if you ask. But the community doesnt tolerate CHEATERS. If you're looking for a casual heisting experience, i recommend playing. But like every game it has is issues: Problems: It doesent come with the official controller support, i had to use the steam app to configure a fully fuctional and playable control mapping for the ps5 controller. I had to install MODS to solve the games problems, Like better chat location, hitmarkers, FPS cap, Anti cheats, Restart button for the online, etc. Conclusion: The game itself is very fun, but playing on vanila can be a pain, i suggest installing DORHUD to fix the games "issues".
Sequel Surpasses it with volume of content, but the edge this game still posesses is atmosphere. Its graphics being bit different, heister's comments, use of visual filters, gameplay is more grounded(as opposed to arcade pd2), feels harder than pd2(running dozers and silent cloakers are no joke) as it feels like requiring more coordination. Everyone knows the skill of Simon Viclund as composer. Game is actually still not dead, though only couple lobbies running at a time(as I later learned, half of lobbies are headen by 145 level difficulty), though would be best to find friends ofc. Wolfpack dlc is decent, couple new heists(though only host needs it) and weapons. Word on achievements - thats a first game I completed towards which I have nothing but praise in that aspect, vast majority gives some challenge and isnt tedious(outside of finding right people for coordination and noob herder/quick hands being random reliant). Didn't recall problems with game running on proton.
