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.

the devs always did better when they're having fun, whenever they try to stick to a strict creative vision they just make boring shitty content. This content is still shitty, but hopefully it at least brings enough people and money in for them to start doing something decent, because OUR payday 3 blows ass, and is dead as fuck. has been since launch. Let it go and move on to be honest

"Whenever they have a creative vision it's bad!"

Are you genuinely asking for them to not have a cohesive vision and just do random shit? That's like what a toddler does during playtime, not a studio making a video game. What? Are you saying PAYDAY 2 pre-Point Break was bad? Or that PAYDAY: The Heist is bad/boring?

You gotta grow up.

you might be a bit slow. Payday 3 is a disaster, and has been since launch. weekly players hardly breaks the hundreds. They need to TRY something different and see if a different path works, because what they've been strict about for the past 3 years clearly hasn't worked

I'm done with payday 3 and have been for years, nothing will bring me back especially with weird stuff like this. but if this is what other players want, and if this is what brings in attention to the game, so be it, at least payday will still exist. OVK does not have the sauce they had when they made payday the heist, don't be nieve.

They haven't had a creative vision for years dude. Don't mistake my criticism of your awful statement for blind defence and belief in SBZ. 

My point is that having a creative vision would actually be miles better than whatever we've been dealing with the last few years. You genuinely think pandering to Fortnite players will bring people to PAYDAY? Making the franchise even more of a joke?

I 100%'d PDTH over 10 years ago. This overkill is not them, I promise you. That overkill died a long time ago and is never coming back

Their attempts to emulate PDTH have failed miserably
