It's actually kinda crazy how often games going on timed exclusivity on Epic come out way better than the launch state. Softlaunching makes games better it seems.
It honestly never was THAT bad, it's one of those 6/10 games you forget about the day you beat them. The updates have been quite good though, more content and cheaper than any Payday dlc anyway.

ive tried it once, never going to try again. Melee is stupidly strong in this game, these crazeheads that run for you with crowbar should at least scream or give out their place on the map. I was just casually exchanging lead with enemies and had an upperhand, but suddenly a spy from team fortress two sneaked behind me and one shot killed me because i had like 60%hp or so next time ill do this i will go in the corner and just sit here until the turf boss appears, because melee fuckers are silent and deadly, especially when youre invested in shooting alot
@@ilyakoni6887 lmao yea the bikers are stupid with the crowbar rushers that take 3 quarters of your health in 1 hit, I’ve still never failed a solo defense but I’ve had many scary moments because of them
This was a rather effective "not sponsored" video, as it got me to shell out 17 bucks (it was on sale when I wrote this) for the steam release of the game. I think the tipping point was the "rougelike single player" elements. That genuinely looks like a fun time. The acting might not live up to the fantasy of the early trailers, but hearing that the gameplay and overall atmosphere seems to is a great thing indeed.
I got Crime Boss off of PS Plus, and I have to say I'm enjoying it so far, jank included. There's a cutscene with Baker, Nesara, and Gloves where nobody even had any facial movements, and I couldn't stop laughing. I really think the game could become something really cool.

I have been playing Crime Boss for a few days as it came to Steam, it's most definitely not a bad game. A bit on the small scale, but it's fun. They got a lot of actors to play the characters in the game... Most of them are phoning in their performance, but somehow on a meta level I feel that kind of adds to it as it's going for a very 80s to 90s feel, and in those times video games weren't taken very seriously and that kind of voice acting was common from bigger actors.
I just want the rogulite mode in multiplayer. Please let me play the single player but with the boys. It's what makes the game unique the most and I can't enjoy it with friends.
devs stated roguelite mode will stay this way, but i wish they make more ways to play it in mp. Currently in the multiplayer youre just playing the sad shadow of what roguelite experience gives. I hope devs make another mode specifically for the multiplayer purposes, so it will be as enjoyable as singleplayer experience. I really enjoy the game of risks and rewards, its really something new in heisting genre and I'm all for it
I wish they had a mode where say, 4 teams of 4 all drop into a "base game" type game. Where you all fight for control of rockay. And give you a way to strengthen the territories you have and such
I'd love to see some Rockay City vids from you, especially after how depressing Payday 3 has been. This game looks like it'd be good for your type of shenanigans.
This vid got me into the game and I def enjoy it quite a lot. Its got some issues, esp on Steam Deck docked but just thought i'd give some flowers for showing this game off
Note for stealth that really helped me especially with camera's and security guards in public areas, Once you pull out your weapon you can holster it at anytime with the use of H key.
I cant emphasize anymore about how impressive really the RNG of the missions are! its way better than Payday 3 AND Payday 2 imo. we got examples like: in Bank Heist, there are times when you load in the mission you are already given a STEALTH WIN. every CIV is tied up, every guard too, all cams down and all you need to do is just get the vault open. then another route is that you get thrown in the last point of the bank heist on LOUD without any prep and you're in the middle of bringing the bags to the chopper. In those warehouse missions where gangs take it over, sometimes Cops can ambush you while you're in stealth like its a trap setup by them. Or where Cagnali gang is in the warehouse missions and you plan to steal it, only for it to be a trap as robots appear out of Crates above as you go near the building!
I'm honestly pretty impressed with how CB has progressed, I think that I may actually get it with the dissapointment that seems to have been Payday 3's decline. I honestly thought it was abandonware
I pre-ordered the gold edition of PD3 and I do enjoy the game, but it just lacks alot at the moment and each fix comes with a new problem and their communication on such issues is very picky.
I was already sold, due to the fact that they added Casey (Kim Bassinger) as a playable character… but the fact that Runaway pulls a pink pistol out of her clutch bag at 18:43, tipped the scales for me 🤣 I love when characters have their own unique animations / personalities This game looks really fun, after being updated
14:25 about that Before Cagnali the Purple Faction (Secudos) were actually all Italian Mafiosos before somebody killed the Don (Twitter Feed) and replaced him by the Maniac Robot Loving Crazy Woman.
I from the get go liked this game and later, when Payday 3 came out, recognized it had twice the heart, three times the flair and four times the polish. I'm glad it was being worked on and improved.
This game just sounds like someone saw Payday 2 and wanted to add more variety and more dopamine mechanics. I'm 7 minutes in and I'm picking this up. Just $20 for all the content? Yeah, that sounds like the Payday 2 I originally bought in on.
Rockay city is one of those games that im 100% certain was made by an AI. They fed good ideas to a robot and this is what he came up with. Even the voice acting sometimes sounds like one of those AI voice Tools. If only they had coop in the rouguelite i wouldve played it more than i already did.
I just bought it on series x just got all dlc for free and I've been enjoying this game alot I'm glad the dev team hasn't gave up on it they have a good foundation to build upon
This video made me try crime boss And ignoring the voice acting (except Michael Rooker and the hiesters, they are actually fairly good and full ran with the goofiness of the game) It's actually fairly good, it's simple, it's fun, very replayable, and can put up quite a challenge if you're reckless. The only complaints I have is sometimes it's too simple, payday had that extra loot if you're willing to find it, this game doesn't. It's very plain. And it's difficulty is all over the place, a medium risk hiest can take you out in minutes solo, but add one more hiester and it's like the police can't see and are hunting you using only their hearing. It's exactly what I paid for, and I'm honestly shocked how enjoyable is it all things considered
Risk mechanic mean nothing all the risk do is your starting location and avatange , disavantage and some of those random event on the mission , the entire difficult depend on heat level
So fun fact about cyber storm mission you can shoot the buttons that control the laser fences to turn em off servo will even complain about the fact that its so easy
I think the release of Payday 3 proves that there isnt enough competition in the heist genre of games, and rockay city looks like a good start, even if it didnt start of great.
On the defense parts of the turfwar, you can actually defend a turf without any soldiers if you're good enough. Touchdown is essential to the defense, not the soldiers. I recommend around 5 or 7 soldiers for everyone except Kahn, where you should send 9, I despise his little crowbar minions.
After seeing Marioninatophat's video, I didn't think much of this game. (new adventures await buddy). But after this? might give Crime Boss a genuine shot
I bought this for 17 dollars thanks to this vid. Its great b game goodness. Also you can cheese the early game by continually starting up the dlc, buying assets and restarting lol
I had this game on epic day one and droped it pretty fast, grabed it on steam again and got all dlc gifted on top. Holy shit did they WORK on this game, feels completely different and it's quite fun !
glad to see knowley playing a much more enjoyable payday competitor and having fun, rather than dancing around that gaslighting narcisist known as payday 3 that makess you feel like you're constantly walking on egg shells.
Also worth saying the game is free to try for any playstation plus extra members and if you see this today theres like 16 hours left to try the game on steam for free
Can you make some challenge runs for rockay city in the future? Would be fun seeing you get through the campaigns, I think a baker only run would be insanely hard but funny for us
If I had a nickel for every time Danny Trejo voice acted a gangster in a video game in 2024, I’d have 2 nickels so far. Which isn’t much, but it’s cool that it happened twice.
this is a very odd question, but were you ever part of the Blockland forums? I remember someone on that site used the exact hoxton's breakout frame you have as your profile picture on there around 2015-16. It might be a coincidence, but i felt like i had to ask.
14:24 Cagnali is Italian though, that's why he made those jokes I guess. In the huge Cagnali factory heist/mission there's also a monument paying tribute to her father, Domenico Cagnali, which is an Italian name. Edit: since I'm Italian I'm also gonna add that Cagnali is pronounced Canhali/Cañali (yeah yeah, I know: 🤓)
14:33 okay, but you have to realize that its not Italians that are greasy: robots are also greasy usually, requiring Lithium grease and other unctuous liquids to function. It wouldn't be a good pizza though, that is for sure.
At this point I'm very tempted to say something like... Well I mean it's not payday 3 but it's a breath of fresh air into the Co-op shooter, stealther, heister.
Agree, there are some things though that Payday 3 does better though, and the game does feel a bit Arcady, but aside from that it is a great game, and definitely better than Payday 3.
@@mlgmcdonaldsland7063 what a way to show you haven’t played the last couple months, also if you think those enemies do to much damage, then that’s a skill issue you have.
Don't forgot there' actual animations for everything (it doesn't just cut to black like Payday 3. Now I know Payday 1 and 2 did that, but if we are at 3 already with a new engine I expect this). Also (and I think Payday 3 finally added SOME of this), animations for throwing bags, looting up the money, and a throwing animation of throwing the bags in the van. PLUS animations for when your exiting whether that is driving out or other ways. Oh, also. The AI is top-tier honestly. Almost always they work well. You can command them, they do stuff ON THEIR OWN, they are actually helpful and it's great. Plus Unreal Engine 5. I think Payday 3 still on 4 with being on 5 someday over the rainbow? I actually love the campaign. All Payday 3 does is have some still image cutscenes, here we have full on cutscenes and I love it!. PLUS THEY ADD ON THE THE CAMPAIGN. That's amazing.
I fully expected this thing to get dropped on EGS as a quick cash grab because everyone knew it was going to be an unremarkable 6/10 with forgotten celebrity cameos while Payday 3 was going to be the second coming of Christ. And yet here we are a year later. Crime Rock: Bossay City is getting major overhauls, going from 6 to decent 7/10 and full Steam release while Payday 3 flounders.
just saw on steam that its has offline mode so its already doing something better than payday 3 and only being 20 and on sale currently it might not be bad to buy.
I at first did not enjoy this game, the heist system just isn't nearly as complex as payday 2 and with how awful payday 3, they had a chance. But I did enjoy the gun play, so I gave it a shot. After 10 hours, I started to enjoy the more gimmicky, shorthanded levels vs the complexity of payday 2. It's more simple and just easy to play and drop whenever you want. The voice acting and writing also grew on me; thought it was awful and unfunny, now it's funny and bareable (cus of how bad it is)
This video makes me sad knowing that I don’t have anything to get Steam on so I won’t be able to get this game for free. At least the video was fun to watch though.
The devs basically giving Epic the middle finger by accepting their exclusivity deal and then basically using it as early access while the game was still bad, just so they can launch it on Steam a year late and have it be actually good is hilarious.

The fact that this game is beating Payday 3 is just depressing
meh, shows the devs of payday have no passion left
I will admit this game looks pretty fun. Might pick it up.
After seeing Marioninatophat's video, I didn't think much of this game. (new adventures await buddy).
But after this? might give Crime Boss a genuine shot
And behold. New adventure is in fact await, buddy
I bought this for 17 dollars thanks to this vid. Its great b game goodness. Also you can cheese the early game by continually starting up the dlc, buying assets and restarting lol
I had this game on epic day one and droped it pretty fast, grabed it on steam again and got all dlc gifted on top.
Holy shit did they WORK on this game, feels completely different and it's quite fun !
glad to see knowley playing a much more enjoyable payday competitor and having fun, rather than dancing around that gaslighting narcisist known as payday 3 that makess you feel like you're constantly walking on egg shells.
Hold on, it's getting prepped
Also worth saying the game is free to try for any playstation plus extra members and if you see this today theres like 16 hours left to try the game on steam for free
Can you make some challenge runs for rockay city in the future? Would be fun seeing you get through the campaigns, I think a baker only run would be insanely hard but funny for us
If I had a nickel for every time Danny Trejo voice acted a gangster in a video game in 2024, I’d have 2 nickels so far. Which isn’t much, but it’s cool that it happened twice.
What’s the other one?
@@trumpeterswan8175maybe yakuza 8 (english dub)

this is a very odd question, but were you ever part of the Blockland forums? I remember someone on that site used the exact hoxton's breakout frame you have as your profile picture on there around 2015-16. It might be a coincidence, but i felt like i had to ask.
just got the game and i gota ask how did you beat the the the 1st boss of freezing load screens i cant even get into the game and nothing has worked
i appreciate that you chose not to directly compare it too much to payday but... yeah its kind of obvious
14:24 Cagnali is Italian though, that's why he made those jokes I guess. In the huge Cagnali factory heist/mission there's also a monument paying tribute to her father, Domenico Cagnali, which is an Italian name.
Edit: since I'm Italian I'm also gonna add that Cagnali is pronounced Canhali/Cañali (yeah yeah, I know: 🤓)
I think the real reason is because she’s replacing the mafia faction, which were Italians, and the devs forgot to change all the voice lines out
@@ciphergacha9100 oh really? I didn't know they were planning to make a mafia faction lol, that makes sense though.
@@allopic3764 not planning, she replaced the mafia faction that’s been in the game since it came out
@@ciphergacha9100 oh you mean for the dlc then, gotcha
@@allopic3764 yeah, if you get the DLC she replaces them in all game modes too, the mafia guy is canonically fucking dead
14:33 okay, but you have to realize that its not Italians that are greasy: robots are also greasy usually, requiring Lithium grease and other unctuous liquids to function. It wouldn't be a good pizza though, that is for sure.
I am shocked how amazing the game runs on Steam Deck.
Would you compare the game to what it was pre-launch and to what it became post-launch.
This game really has a very similar vibe of fun and jank to Payday 2, now.
Wow this exited my brain real quick
Easier than the same challenge with Payday 3
At this point I'm very tempted to say something like... Well I mean it's not payday 3 but it's a breath of fresh air into the Co-op shooter, stealther, heister.
Never give up on it unless it’s from a triple aaa studio
this video made me download crime boss rockay to try it out myself. its free on ps plus so why not
You forgot to specify that it's only ps5 that can get it
@@Ar-daqdidn't need to specify I don't believe it says on its page
@@Ar-daq why would i specify lol
i have been playing this game for about a month and its way better than payday 3
would like to see you bring some of the payday ideas to this game like a solo turret only run lol
Alright, you got me. Ill get the game, this looks incredibly fun
Payday 3 gotta step up their game. The Medic Bag Man shall be the best heisting game in the industry!
Honestly thinking about buying this game, but gotta drop Outward or Dragon Age from my shopping list to do so.
Right Kknowley I bought payday3 on your reccomendation and now Im going to get this based on your video this better not end the same way
Gimme update
This game is so much better then pd3, better gunplay, better netcode, a single player, and endless replay ability
Agree, there are some things though that Payday 3 does better though, and the game does feel a bit Arcady, but aside from that it is a great game, and definitely better than Payday 3.
Payday 3 is bad but you're out of your mind. Crime boss has horrendous gunplay, bad progression, bad weapon variety and, enemies do too much damage.
@@mlgmcdonaldsland7063 what a way to show you haven’t played the last couple months, also if you think those enemies do to much damage, then that’s a skill issue you have.
@@mlgmcdonaldsland7063thats a straight skill issue
Don't forgot there' actual animations for everything (it doesn't just cut to black like Payday 3. Now I know Payday 1 and 2 did that, but if we are at 3 already with a new engine I expect this). Also (and I think Payday 3 finally added SOME of this), animations for throwing bags, looting up the money, and a throwing animation of throwing the bags in the van. PLUS animations for when your exiting whether that is driving out or other ways.
Oh, also. The AI is top-tier honestly. Almost always they work well. You can command them, they do stuff ON THEIR OWN, they are actually helpful and it's great. Plus Unreal Engine 5. I think Payday 3 still on 4 with being on 5 someday over the rainbow?
I actually love the campaign. All Payday 3 does is have some still image cutscenes, here we have full on cutscenes and I love it!. PLUS THEY ADD ON THE THE CAMPAIGN. That's amazing.

I think crime boss can go head to head with PD3.Lets see in a 2-3 months.Right now Im enjoying CBRC a little more than PD3
RIP DON BARBARO 😭
I fully expected this thing to get dropped on EGS as a quick cash grab because everyone knew it was going to be an unremarkable 6/10 with forgotten celebrity cameos while Payday 3 was going to be the second coming of Christ.
And yet here we are a year later. Crime Rock: Bossay City is getting major overhauls, going from 6 to decent 7/10 and full Steam release while Payday 3 flounders.
just saw on steam that its has offline mode so its already doing something better than payday 3 and only being 20 and on sale currently it might not be bad to buy.
"Can you beat Goyslopday 3 without Playing the Game?"
game is better than pd3 in its current state
I can get into a gunfight with vanilla ice? Well sign me up
I was having fun with it until one mission where i failed and lost all of my good characters never opened it again
Can you beat any Rockay City campaign on its hardest difficulty without getting any new Crew Members?
for 15euro on steam right now with all the dlc it looks really good
you have a limited number of heists per character or I can play as many times as I want with any character from the team?
Every character can do one heist per in-game day.
Travis Baker has a unique perk that allows him to be used twice per day.
@@samz8691 any ideea how to unlock RUNAWAY for the team? I heard she is great for the stealth
@@ZaricheYruga You'll have to hope she appears as an unlock after beating a mission then have her appear in the recruit pool.
Here for PD3 news !!!
Please make more videos of this game!
is it worth buying on xbox?
Turns out new adventures do avait us, buddy.
Man wtf is going on where this looks better than payday 3, what is the world coming too
I at first did not enjoy this game, the heist system just isn't nearly as complex as payday 2 and with how awful payday 3, they had a chance. But I did enjoy the gun play, so I gave it a shot. After 10 hours, I started to enjoy the more gimmicky, shorthanded levels vs the complexity of payday 2. It's more simple and just easy to play and drop whenever you want.
The voice acting and writing also grew on me; thought it was awful and unfunny, now it's funny and bareable (cus of how bad it is)
This video makes me sad knowing that I don’t have anything to get Steam on so I won’t be able to get this game for free. At least the video was fun to watch though.
This game is way better than it has any right being
This is a great game! I don't know why people are shitting on it. 😒
Payday dropped the ball with 3.🙄
You should be able to hide your gun after taking them out
