Held back by MANY issues, PAYDAY 3 had all the right tools to be the biggest coop title of the year.
With PAYDAY 2 being such a popular game even a decade after its' release, the third game was hyped and much anticipated. The changes to stealth, the gritty, realistic approach to the game, the gunplay, it all was supposed to be revolutionary and create a whole new era of heisting. And, to be perfectly fair, I defend that the developers did an excellent job when it comes to the aforementioned features.
But a lot is missing. A lot of content is gone, the server browser is non existent, the connection issues that spanned through the first month of the game being out, the unpolished and slow, sluggish menus. All this holds back PAYDAY 3, by a lot. PAYDAY 2 already had all these features, there is no excuse to the failure this game introduced us to.
I love PAYDAY 3. I want it to succeed, I genuinely prefer this new style of gameplay. But for my review to be higher, the game needs to improve drastically.
