Payday 3 developer likens launch to being a rock band when "the whole stage collapses and everyone leaves"

Well, they developed it as if they forgot all of the good ideas from the second game.

Sounds about right.

The publisher has been pressing hard on paid stuff in payday 2 and payday 3 didn't have enough content / solid enough gameplay to replace it. Also there's denuvo, and denuvo is not giving a great first impression.

I came to Payday 3 from Payday - The Heist… It‘s such a surreal experience how there‘s two dozens cops surrounding you taking a turn at firing a bullet each while in PDTH you’d get lasered down by three of em lol

And managing armor sucks IMO

No, it's more like being a Rock Band, having 2 wildly successful albums then going in a another direction with a completely new, different sound for the third album, then wondering why no one bought it.

Many such cases. (Videogames and Music)

Oh, so… take it off my GameFly Q
