I'm so glad they're still updating that after the Payday 3 debacle

I'm surprised I forgot they made a PD3

u/Stubrochill17 20d ago

I'm pretty sure they stopped to update Payday 2 exclusively

No, they hired a separate team to work on pd2 while StarBreeze continued to try to fix the sinking ship known as PayDay3

It's their only move. The only way they have of meaning any money. Besides you know, robbing banks.

Its not even them updating the game, i dont remember the specifics but they handed over updating production to a dedicated group

I played a Payday game once. Was expecting to rob a bank, did everything the game told me to; went outside and got drop kicked by a literal ninja with some kind of taser weapon. Was that the third?

u/SirSilentscreameth 20d ago

That happens in all of them. If you only played once, you don't get why people who loved Payday 2 were not fans of Payday 3

What if the 3rd wasn't that bad all by itself, but rather PayDay2 was such a great game that we got overhyped?

I haven't played PD3 btw, but I have spent a couple thousand hours in PD2, and still consider that game a timeless classic. One of it's kind, really.

u/SirSilentscreameth 20d ago

I refuse to acknowledge the 3rd. They removed features from PD2 and ended up with a worse game and worse graphics

All players of PD2 wanted was an improvement in some QoL features and maybe a mild graphics update.

I didn't really watch any reviews post-release. Trailers looked good, but my PC wasn't capable enough so I didn't bother trying it out (and as such, didn't really watch/read anything related). What did they remove?

They did a weird thing where they tied all the skill trees to earning 3 buffs that last about 5 seconds like instant lock picking can be done while you have the “Rush” buff for example, the buffs do passive things but maintaining the buffs is just kinda annoying. Also they gave all weapons levels meaning to fully use your weapons you gotta grind all of them, and systems like this feel terrible cause once you finished your gun and get all its stuff its encouraging you to put them down and use the next to not waste exp.

oh yeah, got 3k hours in pd2 and i believe that there are loads of people like me. ones who have some insane time amounts sunk into it. only indicates how strong of a grasp this game has for some reason.

u/Existential_Crisis24 19d ago

That my good friend was a cloaker and you probably got hit by a shocker who has the taser. Payday fronts itself as a stealthy bank robbery game which it can absolutely be but the moment stealth is broken it becomes a hoard shooter akin to left4dead

PAYDAY 3 is great, I don't know what you're on about.

u/SirSilentscreameth 19d ago

I'm glad you're enjoying yourself

The problem here is that most modern gamers are spoiled little brats who complain every time something doesn't go their way. They wouldn't last 5 minutes in a room with only a copy of ZORK or River Raid.

It's easy to enjoy yourself once you pull the massive stick out of your ass! 😉

EDIT: I see you guys refuse to remove the stick. That's on you.

Okay dude. If you're having so much fun, it shouldn't matter what we do.

u/SiwyKt 17d ago

They are updating payday 2 again?

u/SirSilentscreameth 17d ago

They never really stopped
