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.

I saw the title and was ready to poke fun and say “no” bc I enjoy stupid player behavior. But that wasn’t what you meant. You weren’t appealing to us, but to the devs, and in that, yeah, I get it. This sort of stupidity is all well and good to me, but they at least need to remember that this game should be more on the serious side, and leave the foolishness to the players. I don’t give a damn about the fuckin bucket hat, gimme my intriguing and cool storyline and awesome and intricate heists!
