For all of its faults, I’m just glad the zip ties and the fucking saws are gone. Hated those in PD2.
Guys, the thermal drill
gonna be honest I didn’t even hear about the game until this post

If I had to take a stab in the dark, you’re probably thinking of when Overkill released weapon skins with additional unique stats attached to them and trying to make the game Pay2Win with MTX - which is something Overkill themselves said they would never ever do. They got major backlash from the community and reversed that bit of the MTX stuff. The other major drama was either Overkill or Starbreeze going bankrupt and the CEO more or less hightailed out of there to get away from some major legal issues as well as multiple failures with other projects that were not Payday.
Either way, Overkill is going to literally live or die with PD3 because it’s quite literally the only franchise they had that can make any amount of money.
It’s been a terrible launch and there are still major issues that need fixing. Too little content, bad progression system, bad matchmaking system, mostly boring skill tree for loud… But I’m still having a lot of fun with it despite all of that. I wanted more out of a finished game, but at least most of the heists that it shipped with are interesting and fun. 99 Boxes can go to hell.
I really just got bored.
I can’t put my finger on it.
I can play Payday 2 maps ad nauseum. Hundreds of times each heist.
The Payday 3 heists just got boring after a week.
I’m not surprised…it’s just not fun. It’s grindy as hell and no one wants to go loud.
