feels like some random game with payday skin on ... ye it got facelift but nobody plays Payday for graphics ... its gameplay thats fun .. and so far I have yet to have it

Payday 3 is the gaming equivalent of showing up to a five-star dinner and being served stale bread and tap water. It’s like the devs saw everything we loved in Payday 2 and said, “You know what? Let’s just not do that.” The skill system? Gone. Want to play as a tank or a dodgy ninja? Too bad! Weapon customization? Forget it. Here, have a few options and pretend you're impressed.

Then there are the bugs. Oh boy, the bugs! My first experience was my character loading in as just a floating head and a gun—like some bizarre, haunted Picasso. And let’s not forget the crashes. Want to equip a cool mask? BAM, your game explodes. Progression? Good luck with that, because half the time you finish a heist, you get zero XP. Zero. Nada. Congrats, you played yourself!

Oh, and the always-online requirement. Nothing screams “fun” like being locked out of your game because the servers are having a bad day. And for what? Fewer heists, fewer weapons, fewer options, and a lot more frustration. This isn’t just a letdown; it’s a heist where we are the ones getting robbed. Bravo, Starbreeze. You’ve managed to disappoint even the most die-hard fans.

Game is mid maybe in 5 or 6 years from now it will be closer to being as good as PAYDAY 2
