Payday 2 has three times the Payday 3 players right now
Payday 2 has three times the Payday 3 players right now
Payday 2 currently has three times the Steam players as Payday 3 following the sequel's rocky launch and a steep drop off in players on the Valve platform.
TL;DR
New Game with huge matchmaking issues vs Older Game with no matchmaking issues
Pretty sure more people would play overwatch, warzone and cs:go if it was still around
Wasn't there issues with them bringing Payday 2 to the Epic Games Store and trying to have EGS and Steam players cross-play with each other?
As someone who dipped their toe into Payday 2 and is beginning to swim in Payday 3, I’m not shocked. Payday 3 is missing a lot of quality of life features that Payday 2 has, and has a lot less content. Plus, Payday 2 has been around forever and Payday 3 is fundamentally different enough that a fair fraction of folks probably just won’t ever feel any need to switch.
That said, I think Payday 3 has a better skeleton that Payday 2, especially for new players like me, and I’m excited to see it grow (and become something more than the minimum shippable product) over time.
Payday 2 has been around forever at this point, so it makes sense. I think it’s probably been around longer than GTA V and has been getting updates and DLC the entire time.
And it was free many times.
Game with actual content vs game with no content.
Sounds about right
We (Payday 2 Players) also racked up hours upon hours (I think I am around 1000 total) and they didn't really give us anything for all that work. We got a underwhelming skin. A bare bones weapon, and some weapon charms ...do they realize how hard it was to beat every heist on Deathwish without a hacker in the lobby? A Charm? For Real? Give me my deathwish mask back and I will play your new game
Oh yeah...and voice chat. How you make a game that requires players to communicate without a voice chat option is beyond me. The pings are not enough.
Is this like a math problem?
More power to you if you like it but man I cannot imagine wanting to play a game like this with strangers
Did they fix the game already?
