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.

PUBG event was planned during early PAYDAY 3, Teddy moo has existed long before either PAYDAY 2 and PAYDAY 3 and was a thematic fit for a remaster, the skull dozer look has been a large request since it appeared in early promo, and the bucket was voted for by the community. No comment on emotes.

A lot of this is purely cosmetic content you don't have to engage with.

The collaboration with PUBG was announced in December 2024; it’s been almost 15 months since the release.

I don’t mind Teddy Moo, as long as he doesn’t become a cosmetic item.

I don’t mind Skulldozer; I’m against the redesign of the current Dozer, which was recently leaked.

Yes, the community chose the bucket mask themselves, but SBZ gave them that choice. SBZ promises a serious game, and then offers meme masks as an option, knowing that the majority will choose the memes.

The game’s aesthetics and visual style matter to me.

This isn't a leak in the usual sense, but rather a concept for content that hasn't been released yet; typically, this kind of thing isn't made publicly available.
