PAYDAY 3 has officially launched on September 21st, however in just less than a day, the game has received tons of negative reviews on Steam. Currently there are only about 40% positive reviews out of eight thousand reviews.

Back ten years ago, Steam was more like a Dota 2 and CS: GO launcher in 2013. Suddenly, a special bank-robbing game stood out to gamers. Players take on the role of villains in teams of four, doing everything from robbing stores to banks. PAYDAY 2 was officially released on Steam in August 2013 and sold more than 1 million copies in just one month, making it a phenomenal game of the year. It is said that Payday2's player count had peaked at 18 million, even beating Warframe. After its release, PAYDAY 2 has been making money like crazy, with a total of 81 DLCs released so far.

Will there come a PAYDAY 3? Probably even game developer Starbreeze didn't know where they were going to end up at the time. Speaking about the past of the PAYDAY series, there are actually two companies behind it - Starbreeze and Overkill.The game's first generation, PAYDAY: The Heist, was developed by Overkill, while the second generation came after Overkill was acquired by Starbreeze. PAYDAY:The Heist's character was modeled by the Boss himself, probably because he was so poor that time. The character Wolf's face model and voice is made by Ulf Andersson, one of the founders of Overkill. Without the success of Payday2, we would never have seen PayDay3 today.

Three months ago, PayDay 3 announced the Gameplay Trailer. Whether you're a fan of the PayDay series or a new player hearing about the game for the first time, players were beyond excited and cheered in anticipation of the game.

However, the game disappointed most people. Bad server issues seriously affected the player experience, and after waiting tens of minutes it may not even be possible to play a single match. When you meet nice teammates, you don't even have a way to add friends. The forced internet connection causes you to have to be online the entire time in order to play the single player mode. These are real feedback and pain from players.

At this stage I would strongly recommend NOT buying this game.

Legends never die, but can we still consider PayDay a legend?

No, just No... don't even buy it. Gamepass it, play other titles after if you actually are willing to play this garbage. it's like a cell game, made for PC and console with some older programming and graphics. It's trash... just trash.

PAYDAY 3 is no better off than PAYDAY 2

I can't say I had a lot of fun playing this during Alpha, Beta, Testing, and even Early Access. It all felt stale and repetitive, with only a few superficial and familiar-looking maps and police swarms, something the Devs indicated they wanted to avoid. By no means am I claiming that it is a poor game. I understand the style of this game and the community that supports it. However, the way this game and their developers have handled the approach is just purely disappointing.

Back on the Job once more! Payday 3 Beta Overview

Summary: Step out of retirement back into the life of crime in the shoes of the Payday Gang, the envy of their peers, and the nightmare of law enforcement wherever they go. Several years after the crew's reign of terror over Washington DC ended, they assembled again to deal with the threat that roused them out of early retirement. Final Thoughts There are many new changes and add-ons to Payday 3, but the series fans probably see this as an excellent multiplayer game with friends. But thats is all I can see Hopefully, there are many new places to visit, open world level, or more challenging heists to experience!

CAN'T Wait for Full Release! Payday 3 Open Beta Review

Payday 3 is the latest entry in the series after 2013’s Payday 2, currently out on open beta, free for anyone to access. In true Payday fashion, you and your crew have multiple ways to take on this mission. You can stealthily weave your way into the bank’s infrastructure and steal the motherlode of cash right from under the bank’s nose. Or you can alert everyone on Planet Earth to your location by forgetting to suppress your pistol. But the charm of Payday is that both avenues are perfectly viable, just as long as you can get away with your booty.
