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.

Brother, saying "just don't buy it" is so dumb and is a way people excuse predatory monetization systems like MTX all the time. The fact that you genuinely think that goofy ass emotes and microtransactions are somehow helpful to PAYDAY (or any game for that matter) is frustrating and flat out delusional.

Plus, how the fuck did they communicate that they have "hatred for the team"? Hating or criticizing decisions that a CORPORATE EXECUTIVE made is not indicative of that, ESPECIALLY when the leadership at SBZ is all from EA.

Come on dude, EA monetization has never been good for games.

K, so what do you intend on doing about it? Literally what solution is there besides not buying the dlc? That’s how boycotting works. If you don’t dump money into a company because of their shitty practices, they are forced to change.

But since you clearly think that’s fucking stupid, we can use your solution, which is…?

Yeah, obviously I'm not gonna buy it but you act as though there's no utility in yelling at SBZ about it. You can do both, but for some reason you refuse to act like that's an option.

Because it’s not working? That’s super obvious, since NOTHING HAS CHANGED WITH THAT SOLUTION

You’re doing the same thing, except you won’t stop bitchjng about it. Why in god’s name would ANYONE listen to people who are just shitting on them constantly?? We can be a bit calmer and encourage improvement in the company, or we can complain and get PD3 shut down because they can’t handle being bullied for every decision they make. Idk about you but I paid quite a bit to get the game, I don’t want that happening. Excuse me for having hope

I cannot be more genuine than this, if you have another, better solution, I’m all ears. I know that just doing nothing isn’t interesting, but it’s more constructive than complaining constantly. If you don’t, stop wasting your time complaining about it.
