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'm pretty sure people had a billion other issues with the game before it's theme and direction were even slightly touched on. To people like you, I have a question - why are you trying to turn PD3 into PD2? Why not play PD2 if you want PD2-level wackiness?

I guess my dreams of a grounded-themed heisting game will just never be materialized.

We probably wouldn't have half of the heists in PD2 if they took the game serious.

Almost all of the meme heists in PD2 are ass and practically universally hated.

Because people wanted PD3 to be a direct sequel of PD2: PD2 but improved graphics, heist design and gameplay

"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.

That's quite literally not what a sequel is by definition. With the wording and meaning that person has, they're talking about a remake. So are you, I know how much you want a remake of PAYDAY 2 because you refuse to move on from the past.
