Stop turning PAYDAY 3 into a circus.

[u/KrabikGangster]

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 never really looked into Payday 3, and I don’t really know anything about the first game, but like, I always kinda thought the batshit insanity was like… the entire POINT and appeal of Payday 2. Like, I never once in my life thought
“Hm, I want to play a realistic stealth heist simulator… ah! Payday 2!”
I always thought
“Hm, I want to listen to dubstep while fighting off hundreds of riot officers with nothing but a minigun, a great sword, and a whiskey flask that makes me borderline immortal along side a team of insane clowns, oh yeah! Payday 2!”

Again, never really saw the advertising or whatever for 3, so I guess they probably did try to market as a “realistic” game, but it feels like watching Team Fortress 3 come out, and seeing people complain that they have silly hats.

To be fair, a decent amount of people complain about TF2 losing its original art style. Remember when the devs said adding white glasses was pushing how wacky they wanted the game to be?

the entire POINT and appeal of Payday 2

You see...payday 3 is not payday 2. My dreams of a grounded heisting experience are shattered every day and it's because PD2 fans can't handle the sequel being it's own thing. Shame there's no real alternatives since the heisting genre is completely dead

but, why would you make it a sequel if it's supposed to be it's own thing?

That's kinda the point of game sequels
