    That’s a bit harsh, if it was literally Payday 2 with a new engine and graphics upgrades I’m sure plenty of people would buy it happily, the main problem seems to be that it’s not as good, which isn’t a great sign for a sequel

      Basically this. I was eagerly looking forward to Payday 3, but had a sneaky suspicion I should hold off. Dodged that bullet.

      It was never going to be able to live up the sheer breadth of content Payday 2 amassed over what, a decade?

      Granted, it doesn’t really excuse some other quality features missing like at the very least, a lobby browser or offline mode. An actual lobby is nice too. I was just playing Payday 2 for a bit, joined an ongoing mission with randoms, we did pretty well, and we just kept doing more heists together. You can’t do that in Payday 3.
