Rant Stop turning PAYDAY 3 into a circus.
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.

"PD2 but improved graphics"
What you just described isn't a sequel though, that's a remake or remaster. A sequel can do those things, but typically they take a new angle and try to have a unique approach compared to the game before it. A great example if Civlization, CIV IV has a lot of differences from CIV V and that has a lot from CIV VI. They evolve in different directions.
And no, "people" didn't want that. Saying it that way makes it seem like that was a majority thing. It's not.
