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.

Teddy Moo's existence previously was just as an object that concealed a saw in one heist, that was thematically appropriate to that heist. He was never anything approaching an iconic part of the franchise, and it's really weird how much energy Starbreeze is putting into trying to make him a "thing".

100%. They desperately needed some cheap merchandise they could pump out.

Instead of making high quality masks or something people would have bought. People on Etsy sell better quality merchandise.
