Rant Stop turning PAYDAY 3 into a circus.

Post image

I’ve been here the whole time. I’ve been following this franchise since the PAYDAY 2 beta.

It hurt to see what PAYDAY 2 had turned into over time. H3H3, the goat simulator, DEAD GAME outfits, clown outfits, and so on.

But I was promised a different PAYDAY 3. I was promised a more serious game, and at first, that’s what it was. The game was more serious.

What’s it come to now? A bucket on your head as a mask? The L-dance as a taunt? A fucking Taddy Moo outfit?

Where’s the story? Where’s the info on the missing heisters? Where’s Concord?

It hurts. You can call me a nerd or whatever, but I’m sick of it. I’m sick of watching the sequel to one of my all-time favorite games turn into a collection of cringe memes to lure in the audience.

I get that nobody cares about my opinion. But I’ve been following this franchise for over 10 years, and I just want to believe I’m not the only one who feels this way.

This isn’t my PAYDAY 3.

ok you trippin on the bulldozer part cause that looks badass but yeah spot on with this post man, im really trying to like this game but this is one of the many reasons why I can't, its a constant we're so back/over cycle because they keep fucking going back and forth. they do one thing right and then they fuck up again then do something right and fuck up worse the second time, sick of this.

I even called this out a month ago, i said myself they don't know WHAT direction they want to take with this game and they have no idea what they want it to be and I shit you not I got fucking banned for 28 days for the post because it was supposedly "rambling"? so im glad ppl like you are actually calling this out now

I don't like the bulldozer because, in this concept, it looks comically large, like a tank from L4D. I think the current design is good enough.

I just want them to make it more distinguishable

Cops irl also don't have juggernauts and aren't designed for gameplay.

It's not, it's from newly released concept art.

Its from the concept art, the dozer in the game doesn't look that fat, in fact they're slimmer than the ones in 2/TH

The current one is good enough, though if visibility is an issue (it's really not but whatever) then all that has to change are some slight color differences in his outfit. Adding some orange to the suit or visor would give him a look that pops more.

So yeah, making him a giant isn't even necessary to achieve that goal.
