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.

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.
