Another “always online” game that forces people to connect to internet while playing single player.

Even though most people do have internet access these days, it is still not a good development when you consider some places have less stable internet than others. And also what happens to the game when the server shuts down.

    Isn’t this essentially a four player on-line co-op game anyway? Is there anything to even do in it single player?

      …you can play it with bots? That’s kind of how any 4 player co-op game works lol. I don’t remember Left 4 Dead 2 being online only when I wanted to play by myself. Payday 2 already has a whole community of people who play the game by themselves. In fact I believe you can even disable the bots and do the whole maps solo.

      You can play with 3 AI heisters, or you can go in solo.

      Source: I spent a lot of time figuring out routing for solo stealth heists back when PD2 was more popular.
