Why doesn't this get more credit for keeping co-op crews together for years?
Antonette_77
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.
CoopRider2008
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.
Iron_Shields
A rotating crew, sure, but doesn't that just mean the game needs its friends more than it stands on its own?
Samuel_75
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?
lenoir_bernadette
Tu compares à Half-Life 2 (rien que ça) mais est-ce qu'un jeu coopératif doit vraiment se mesurer à une aventure solo ?
BossRex
Isn't the whole point of a heist game that you remember the crew more than the mission itself?
Rudolph_2
The stealth and loud approaches never really feel balanced against each other, loud is almost always safer once you know the drill, which undercuts the whole point of choosing.

I put maybe sixty hours into it one winter with two coworkers, we never got great at it but we kept coming back anyway.
Tromp53
real talk, sixty hours and still bad at it says more about the game's hooks than half these polished solo campaigns manage in twice that time.
GlitchByte51
It sits at 376th with a coin flip win rate, which feels about right for something people respect more than they actively campaign for.
Vinyl_Alfonso
Ese win rate del 46% no es un problema, el problema es que todos actuamos como si el ranking dijera algo profundo sobre el juego cuando en realidad no dice nada.
Celia_44
Chicos, para mí sigue siendo el juego al que llamo cuando quiero pasar la noche con mis amigos de siempre.

On s'y retrouvait après le boulot, trois potes et moi, chacun avec son masque préféré, sans jamais se concerter sur le plan, et ça finissait toujours en improvisation générale, souvent en catastrophe d'ailleurs, mais on rigolait plus qu'on ne réussissait le braquage.
HaileyKnight
Every ranking debate circles back to the same thing, people voted with their gut and the crew stayed anyway.
SilentLegend
it's the same story every time, a good crew papers over the fact that solo runs feel hollow and repetitive

On y jouait à quatre le vendredi soir, toujours les mêmes quatre, et c'était devenu un rituel qu'on ne loupait jamais, jamais.
GhostKid27
Le rituel du vendredi, je l'ai eu aussi, mais chez moi c'était plutôt Half-Life 2 en LAN qu'on relançait sans fin.
GhostByte2
Improvisation générale, oui, c'est tout le jeu résumé en un mot.
PedroHunter
A mí también me tocaron esos viernes, aunque los míos eran más caóticos, y sigo pensando que eso vale más que cualquier posición en la tabla.
CoopPhoenix2010
Divertido con amigos, soso en solitario, no hay más que decir.
Audreanne_1999
People keep voting on nostalgia not on the ranking itself, whatever
IronKid2
Ah sí, el sigilo perfecto, hasta que alguien dispara sin querer y toda la ciudad se entera.
ArcadeMaster
Con amigos brilla, en solitario se siente vacío y repetitivo.
