Payday 3 launched for Windows PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X | S in September 2023 but has seemingly struggled to win over players. The title currently has a ‘mixed’ rating on Steam with over 36,000 user reviews, although the vast majority of recent reviews have been ‘mostly negative.’
Maybe release a game when it’s ready, so many of these online games are releasing broken and getting their roadmap pushed back because they have to fix it asap.
The live service bubble is bursting.
God I hope!
If they wanted to focus on live service, I’m surprised they made a trilogy of games. In the meantime a bunch of other devs just kept adding content to the one game their players play.
Not good for Payday’s fans to compete within their trilogy for attention.
I hope the take away from this is that no matter if a game is live service or not it needs to run, not nickel dime players, and be good. Or it will bust.
IMO Payday 3‘s biggest problem is that Payday 2 exists
Yeah, and they had so much DLC that was not even always bad value for money… but you need to have a hell of a proposition for people to leave that investment behind.
This game also brilliantly exposed how easily certain YouTubers get corrupted.
Not like this actman…
Could you elaborate on which? I’ve seen a lot of sketchy reviews recently
Not sure why they even released this. In the other hand, Overkill’s the walking dead was really enjoyable. I wanted to play that game a lot. But it got taken down from steam in a heartbeat.
I would rather shit in my mouth than play this
