Oh, so… take it off my GameFly Q

Been a minute since I thought of GameFly. Surprised they’re still around tbh

I love them. I get to play 10 minutes of all the crappy games that don’t have demos and think “yeah, glad I didn’t spend $60 on that shit.”

I pretty much do the same thing with gamepass

Sounds about right.

The publisher has been pressing hard on paid stuff in payday 2 and payday 3 didn’t have enough content / solid enough gameplay to replace it. Also there’s denuvo, and denuvo is not giving a great first impression.

Well, they developed it as if they forgot all of the good ideas from the second game.

As if?? They clearly forgot everything that was good

I came to Payday 3 from Payday - The Heist… It‘s such a surreal experience how there‘s two dozens cops surrounding you taking a turn at firing a bullet each while in PDTH you’d get lasered down by three of em lol

And managing armor sucks IMO

No, it’s more like being a Rock Band, having 2 wildly successful albums then going in a another direction with a completely new, different sound for the third album, then wondering why no one bought it.

Many such cases. (Videogames and Music)
