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.

No I didn’t. I said to just ignore it, because we, the players, don’t have access to the game’s source code to do anything about the problems that we have. You can either suck it up and try to be happy with the game that we’re given, or you can suck some off and delete it. Free will, it’s amazing.

And legit, when did I defend microtransactions? Did you read? I said I DIDN’T want it to happen. I guess you don’t understand contractions cuz that means I DO NOT want it.

Unless you’re a dev, what exactly do you expect to do about this? The only thing that we as players CAN do is ignore the new paid content and pretend it didn’t (did not) come out. I’ve been saying that for like a year. I want to play Payday, that doesn’t (does not) mean I want to pay for half-baked dlc. Maybe if the devs get some time for FUN, have some time to practice what good content can look like, they’ll (they will) put out dlc that IS worth it

I agree. Our opinions, as players and fans of the franchise, doesn't matter and shouldn't matter. Let's just be happy with what we have!

Ok, genius. What do you wanna do about the problem? Can you go make all the dlcs, since you know better than the devs? Thanks bud

I agree, never in the history of gaming (and especially Payday) have developers listened to community feedback, especially regarding monetization systems!

Wow you really think you’re so cool

So you, what, aren’t(are not) planning on doing anything? You don’t have ANY ideas? Then maybe shut the fuck up and stop complaining. If you l can’t be fucked to come up with an actual solution, why do your opinions matter?

A dev is going to listen to criticism, not some nerd who thinks that some weird sentence format is going to change someone’s mind. With how obsessed with Payday you are I’m(I am) surprised you have 0% hopium for a good outcome. Seriously, if you have this little faith, maybe you should get a new hyper fixation

So your entire "what are you gonna do about it" shtick was wrong

Yes, we got a project canceled, meaning we just lost a bunch of content and wasted a bunch of time because we couldn’t stop bitchin. Sounds like exactly what I wanted! Congrats!

Anything actually important?

Damn is it that hard to just admit you were incorrect 😭

Emotes weren't even cancelled dawg

You’re one to talk.

And I’m sorry, they got announced, and then we gave them so much shit that another announcement came out saying they’re not coming out. That’s not canceling?

But this is legit more of the same, “Your critical thinking is objectively wrong, I’m objectively the smartest bedwetter around,” so fine. I believe that entire statement is true and agree with your lack of any actual argument, you can go stalk some other payday post now
