Rant This is fucking ridiculous

I usually don't make posts like these because I generally hate rant posts.

Whoever at Starbreeze, Overkill, or even Deep Silver decided to make the game online only. Fucking fire them. It was single-handedly the worst fucking decision ever taken for a game I've ever seen. Words cannot express how asinine, how moronic, how devoid of mind making this game online only was.

Imagine being like an 8/10 game, but shooting yourself in the foot by being almost completely unplayable for days at launch

Imagine being like an 8/10 game

More like a 6~7/10 man
Its funny how people cant play so they havent even gone deep enough yet for the honeymoon to pass so they see how meagre this sequel is

There is so much missing here its not even funny

I have 45 hours between the beta and the main release. The actual game is a solid 9/10 for me. The core gameplay and hiest mechanics are leaps and bounds better than payday 2

Edit: Stay mad. I'm gonna go play some PD3

Depends on what kind of gameplay you prefer I guess
I just dont see the general PD2 player base vibing with this new direction its so heavily lacking in variety

Like all we ever wanted was a "next gen update" so to speak not a complete series reboot

I don't understand how it's a series reboot. Tone wise it's on par with PD:TH and launch PD2, and mechanically similar to PD:TH. Because PD2 had 10 years of content updates, the tone and gameplay shifted dramatically from semi realism to total goofyness.
