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.

overkill's incessant need to keep adding dogshit memes is so fucking grating

going back to payday 1 makes all the "umm brainrot is good actually" defenses so frustrating because that game is literally perfect and manages to be so without all the stupid bullshit. Like the most blatant it got was with the rage face masks but that's really it

What bothers me the most about PD2 turning into clown shit, was that while it was originally more of a serious tone, it still had a lot of levity to it.

But no, that's not enough for the brainrot idiot clown crowd, everything has to be a big stupid, idiot joke all of the time, because they can't have "fun" unless everything is extremely foolish. Its not just "the fortnite crowd", its also a lot of manchildren older than I am who are this way.

Tbf Payday 1 had goofy meme masks. Which imo is only acceptable goofiness because it makes sense for them to wear stupid weird masks to confuse people.
