It is evident that always online is a barrier to the consumer
lgikl25 September 2023
The games foundation is great but it's plagued with issues that completely ruin the gameplay experience. Why should consumers constantly be punished for trying to enjoy a video game. There is still people who live in rural areas with little to no broadband. Well good luck trying to enjoy payday 3. Or even those with good broadband can't play it half the time either because the servers are having issues. The funny part is someone has modded the game which allows you to play offline. So they could easily remove the online requirement if they wanted to. Another thing I hated was it requires you to set up an account on their website. Why does every single thing I do these days want me to fill out a form. I just wanna hop on and have fun.

Once you finally win the game of matchmaking roulette and I mean you got more of a chance of hitting 0 in real life roulette the game is pretty good. Gameplay is a bit buggy at times but it's easy to look past those issues and have fun. The AI sometimes look a bit lost which can be funny. I seriously hope this company learns a bit more about pro consumer and removes this online requirement bs. It's killing preservation, hindering the gameplay experience and putting up another entry barrier. What if I want to hop back in after 20 years?? Or what if I wanna blast some heists on a handheld while traveling? Nope.

Amazing game

Warning: Spoilers
Payday 3 is a great game that really adds to the user experience. I really like the new stealth mechanics, such as the secure, private, and public area system.

Also the game's new track "no rest for the wicked" is great. I thought the game's soundtrack would be a flop considering Simon Vikland would not be working on the game but as it turns out, Gustavo Coutinho matched and even exceeded by expectations with his first handful of songs.

A critisism I have is that Bain is not the operator anymore which sucks. Bain is Iconic with the payday series and its sad to see him go, and i will miss him saying "stay frosty" quite badly.

So this raps up my review. The game just launched so take this wiht a grain of salt, as some things have not released yet.

Fantastic Gameplay Loop
joshsmada1 October 2023
Great foundationand core mechanics, stealth is massively improved from the orginal two titles with so many more options. Progression has been reworked to encourage variety and the base heists at launch are detailed, complex and varied with so many different ways to tackle each one. Restarting a heist keeps spawns the same but exiting and any new heists locations will be different along with even more variations with difficulty. This keeps the heists new everytime with no two heists ever being the same. Already had some hilarious moments in this game with a neverending spawn of civilians after falling off the balcony on Under the Surphaze. Excited to see what comes in the future.
