I saw people complaining about the teaser trailer saying how awful the game was when all they had to go off was a panning shot of the gang on the pier in NYC...
      I get it, Overkill has a reputation. We'd just hoped that they'd do more with this chance we gave them by rallying to support Payday 2 again.
      If I had to guess, one of the major things hurting them is having to develop for all platforms equally before making updates. I figured that'd bite them, and seeing how that was the cause for their lack of action for the first update, it very likely hasn't changed.

  • @plebisMaximus
    @plebisMaximus 7 месяцев назад +162

    I'm getting some pretty harsh flashbacks to Imperator: Rome, another game from a mid-size Swedish developer that had a disgusting launch. They did nothing for a good long while, released a paid DLC that was recieved with the fury it deserves, then they went quiet and fixed the game over a lengthy period of time, releasing it all in one huge patch they labelled update 2.0, but it came far too late and the game was already dead, so the plug was just pulled shortly after 2.0. I really hope that doesn't happen with Payday 3. I know they're bound to release those 3 DLC heists, since we're a lot of people who bought the gold edition expecting 3 DLC heists within the year, but if they sink the game for it, that would suck majorly. I still think it has huge potential.

      It would suck, we didn't want this for payday 3, but in the end it would fall on Starbreeze and OVK. Had they done the right call and delayed release for the year it needed, AT LEAST Half year (But clearly it needed another full year), we wouldn't be here today. Payday would've been well-received on launch, it wouldn't be dead, it would have a large playerbase, and any of the other issues remaining could easily be addressed, but it's like they basically have to "finish" the game with these "boring" updates that don't really do much but are basically needed and should have been launched with, so rather than focus on ACTUAL Content, we're stuck waiting on Basics 101 that should've been on launch. With all the complaints about devs releasing unfinished games for the past few years, I'm not sure how they thought this would fly.

    • @plebisMaximus
      @plebisMaximus 7 месяцев назад +14

      @@WildWombats Unfortunately a delay wouldn't have fixed the game. It would've been less buggy, but the bugs aren't the issue, intentional bad design choices are. The dull progression was as intended, so was online only, the terrible UI, the lack of crime net, etc. It's not an unfinished game, it's a bad game. Which is far worse, there's clearly some people who care a lot on the team, the improvements to stealth and the shooting are massive and the new perk system is pretty interesting, they just made some terrible mistakes that completely sabotaged it. Hopefully they'll successfully walk it back before it's too late.

      @@plebisMaximus I can't disagree with some of those things, but I do think let's say it was a bad game with intentional bad design choices for example. Well, they STILL lacked basic features that MOST games do launch with. Even if that in itself wasn't the fix, it CERTAINLY Would have put them in a MUCH better position to address these issues as AT LEAST the basics like a kick, ready/unready, voice chat/text chat, etc. would have most likely already been done given another half year to a year. Then, instead of focusing on that nonsense NOW, they could've brought all their focus directly to the actual problems you mentioned. instead, we now have to wait for them to fix what should have been in the game to begin with before they even GET to that point, which is only further fanning the flames.

      Not to argue cause I can kinda agree with you, but it's just sad how slowly it progresses. Unless we don't know and the studio just fired 99% of devsor there is just like 3 ppl debugging the game there is no reason for so little feedback from them. In this second option it's even more sad IMO; I personally don't care about PD3, it's just not for me, but starbreeze/overkill basically considering pd3 lost even tho community is STILL willing to give them second chances is just... At this point I feel like hardcore defenders of this game at its current state are people who paid, lets be honest, way too much for preorder super duper edition whatever and didn't classify for refund after it turned out mediocre. In the end it's always been like this with big games; sometimes projects grow to big for their own good and after not delivering you got something like this... Basically a zombie of a game.

    • @Fenrakk101

      This defense only makes sense if people are already playing the game and struggling with these features. But that isn't the case. Payday 3 isn't trying to preserve a playerbase, they're trying to recover one that has abandoned the game, and those players are watching what's happening and deciding whether to trust the developers with their time. An update full of ridiculously small changes, after months of waiting, sends a message to those players. Even if the game itself is objectively better for it, in the longer term, it does more harm than good if it drives people away from the game.

      i like to think of it like an army. big flashy updates that significantly change the game are your armor, smaller updates and bugfixes are your infantry. either one can win a fight, sure, but in the grand scheme of things they depend on each other. if all you're releasing is bug fixes, you're not gonna get very far; if all you release is big flashy updates, what ground you do gain will be quickly lost.

    I love when Starbreeze announce an update as a big update that everyone should play at that moment, when there really isn't a big update.
    Also heard that the unready button was something requested by the BETA TESTERS even a month before launch. Payday 3 being crossplay has lead to these updates being slower as a result.
    Jokes aside, I'm amazed that despite being 6 years old RAID:WW2 before update 21 (I say "before update 21 because update 21 was made by community devs and did a lot that I can't write in a simple RUclips comment) looks like it played better than Payday 3 does now.

    You're right that this should've been part of a larger update, and Starbreeze likely thinks so as well. I suspect the only reason this patch released now is because whatever grander reworks they have in the pipeline are so far away that they thought it would be better to push literally anything out in the meantime. I'd call it a worrying sign if the game wasn't already absolutely dead.

Hell in regards to the menus and UI alone they could have used Payday 2 as a base and tweaked it to fit 3.

    However, they instead come up with Operation Medic Bag (which is very welcome in terms of confirming their intentions but at the end of the day is just text), and an update that we're been waiting for more than 1 month that adds so little it's rather insulting. What were they doing?

I don’t have a lot of hope that the game will pull through and that hurts man I want it to succeed but it just really doesn’t seem like it will, it looks like it’ll be a couple more months of “trying” before they scrap it and either go broke or make more dlc for pd2 to try and stay afloat. I hope I’m wrong and they turn it around but I’d probably just be lying to myself at that point 😔

    The thing that really makes me not want to play Payday 3 again is the weirdly enough the perks. I know what they are going for, but it just isn't fun to have to do a certain action, like vaulting, to do your skills for like 20 seconds. I have been playing a lot of Payday 2 again and it's so fun to make unique builds that i KNOW will work when i need them to, like being able to do more damage with pistol that are tied to concealment. Yes there is a gimmick, but that gimmick flows smoothly into other things like dodge build. Now take Payday 3, where you can set up your perks by vaulting, but there comes a lot of times where i either vault nonstop or very rarely. Most of the perks are situational at best and the really good ones are almost necessity and don't require much to get the most out of them. I would just like the perks to stand out on their own and not have to rely entirely on a status effect. Maybe it's just me that has this issue but to me it really rubs me the wrong way that you can't be as creative with your abilities like Payday 2

    I'd make a comment about Helldivers being the thing to put payday 3 down, but let's be honest; Payday 3 couldn't even make it to 2024. For some reason, Starbreeze thought the best impression for players was a game with less stuff and less stability, with no sign of any support for however many months it took to get its first patch.
    Payday 3 didn't need any help killing its playerbase, and to say Helldivers was the reason grossly oversells Starbreeze's competency.
