The Gameplay That Ruined a Franchise

Fans of the Payday franchise just like myself were EXCITED for the new installment of the franchise; but due to current events at the time, many fans were left sceptical about Payday’s future.

Payday 3 released back in September 21, 2023; and was left in an UNPLAYABLE state.

MOST people chopped it off to the game being ONLINE ONLY and the servers unable to establish a connection.

BUT as someone with PERSONAL EXPERIENCE playing Payday 3, I can better go into detail about how Payday 3 wasn’t just FLAWED Server-sided, but also FLAWED in ALL ASPECTS OF GAMEPLAY.

This video will go into ALL aspects of Payday 3, if there is a specific part that you are interested in learning; Timestamps are below:
