No **** their is NO AI worth mentioning. The programmers were so lazy all they basically did was re skin left 4 dead. Hell even the now very old but still a classic Swat 4 had better AI. Payday? You can't even tell em to stop, all ya can do is order em to, tell civies to get down, tell team to come here, heal your or and shoot and they always step right in front when you shoot like I said NO AI just scripted bots. They don't have even the most basic AI hell they should give us mod tools so we can make missions and mods etc.
But that's it man, take ARMA for example its genius of AI programming next to this garbage. In ARMA 2-3 (even better AI with mods) even stock ,the whole game is run by AI alone everything form animals, birds, fish to aircraft, soldiers, civilians I mean everything is run by AI , no game has even come close to ARMA which imo is a simulation rather than game.
My other gripes with Payday is the cheap way they try to keep you playing like the insanely long rpg level tree and the dumb way they price stuff its just insane. I hate games that force MP as MP to me is lame unless you're playing with friends, really now who wants to play with foulmouthed kids who either team kill or don't work as a team, either way MP and MMO's are just cop outs with games nowadays look at COD or MW etc same **** game over and over with MP being their ONLY savior or its what they rely on, but even these days MP is losing steam they MP'ed themselves out so now even MP is getting stale. L A M E.
Thank goodness for BIS,DCS, ESims and all the other simulation and good sim and game companies who make intelligent sims and games. Not MP only with crazy add, ocd, kids on lsd swearing to their twitch games like COD, MW,BF and budget crap like Payday etc etc etc. Ugh...
