Keeping a crew together for years is rare, that part deserves more credit.

Every crew I've ever had for this game formed by accident and stuck together for years, that alone earns it a spot somewhere in my personal top list

My kids ask for a heist night more than they ask for anything else honestly.

Great for the family angle, doesn't move the ranking much though.

Une soirée heist night régulière, ça vaut toutes les récompenses du monde franchement (mes enfants ont plus de mémoire de ça que de moi j'crois).

fair but ranking should reflect what people actually play, not just what they post about

Kids asking for heist night says more about co-op design than any ELO number ever will, and yet here we are still arguing rankings instead of crews.

A different universe entirely, exactly, and that's precisely why it deserves way more love than it gets!!
GhostKnight
Why does it always come down to who you're playing with... I've had brilliant nights and completely dead ones with the same exact heist, same guns, same everything.

Compared to Half-Life 2 this feels like a different universe entirely, one's a tight solo story and the other lives or dies on your crew showing up.

A rotating crew, sure, but doesn't that just mean the game needs its friends more than it stands on its own?

Un universo distinto no significa que merezca el mismo puesto, no me vengas con eso.

Wonder if that's the real question here though, since when does a heist need to beat a story to earn its spot?

Tu compares à Half-Life 2 (rien que ça) mais est-ce qu'un jeu coopératif doit vraiment se mesurer à une aventure solo ?
