Top Comments of this video!! :3
The writing is what completely sunk my interest in the concept, beyond the game just being a QOL nightmare. The idea of âthe gangâs been robbed and is broke, vulnerable, and powerful folks want them deadâ is a pretty decent way to go for a sequel. So they start over with nothing⊠except a bunch of high powered crime bosses who drop what theyâre doing to offer them inane, bland missions barely connected to them. Why is Shayu, a San Francisco triad leader, tracking down rare metals shipments in New York? Why is The Butcher, the dangerous Croation arms dealer, asking you to knock over a random jewelry store? Wasnât Blaine Keeganâs whole motive about trying to leave crime behind to be a legitimate oil tycoon? Why is he suddenly able to track down a cybersecurity masterâs penthouse based on their encryption? Every returning face is just back because âLook everyone Locke is back, you loved Locke didnât you?â, which completely deflates any stakes the premise had because apparently after a few quick heists every nemesis of the gang is dead besides a shadowy figure who we effectively know nothing about.
Why donât contractors talk to you during missions any more? Why donât the heisters say much of anything? Why is preplanning based on what random prizes drop from missions? The whole thing feels like some clueless suit at Deep Silver or Embracer or whatever said âgame needs weapon airdrops because Call of Duty has themâ without fundamentally understanding why anyone played Payday games in the first place.

14:49 The "Other people do it worse" argument is why corporations are able to get away with screwing their consumers. We need to call out all forms of bs no matter how big or small.

Thanks for checking out this video guys. This is likely the last time I will put this much effort into a Payday related video. I'm still not really sure what the main purpose of me making this video was supposed to be. Informative? Calling the game out? Well whatever the case, this makes it clear what my stance is on current payday as a whole, and I'm just tired of covering this game. Where we go from here I don't know. I've been playing a lot of Helldivers 2, so it's almost guaranteed that there's gonna be a vid or two in that (my goal is to get one out next week). Playing a lot of Darktide as well, but I'm not so sure I have good things specifically for videos. I also still have lots of old stuff I promised to share like Lethal Company, Sons of the Forest, and some old stream highlights like Red Dead Redemption 2 and Doom. But then again I make as many false promises as the payday devs do :_genHah:
