Jaeger86, do games w Payday 3's roadmap promises four DLC drops in the first year

I love a full price game that’s been stripped apart and sold in installments.

That’s great and I will definitely get it but I still really want Bloodborne, Ragnarok, and the next part of ff7r even though it isn’t even out on ps5 yet.

Indeed. Fingers crossed there’s a way to bring a save over from PS4 again like with HZD, need to play the DLC but I got the game on PS4…

That was my first thought seeing the article, too. I’ve got my fingers crossed, because I really want to play the DLC.

My personal tip to ‘transform your planet surveys’ is to use a USB dance pad. It leaves your hands free to use a laptop, drink tea, play on a Switch/Deck, etc - so you can do something interesting during.

Yeah, no. I already know my main’s not coming back; and I’m not about to humor devs who hacksaw off pieces of the full release to make DLC caches again.

Hmm, are they just breaking off parts of the "full’ game to piece meal for more $$? Sounds like it’s primed for a battle pass too…

MayvisDelacour,

Yep, a disgusting habit the big gaming studios have gotten into. At this point there’s no reason to get games like these as soon as they drop. Better to wait like a year or so for the collection to come out for 20 bucks. I’m finally getting bl3 just now and I’m sure my experience will be somewhat improved having all the bug fixes and updates. It really is a shame but I for one don’t ever see myself paying 60 dollars for a game just to be sucker punched with the rest of it released as dlc. It’s so unfair and they should be losing sleep at night. Sorry for the rant.

They’ve confirmed there won’t be a battlepass. And I’m not going to complain about them offering more content down the road for anyone willing to pay, especially considering it’ll likely get a massive discount at some point.

I’ll take this traditional DLC model over a battle pass model any day.

sirfancy, do games w Payday 3's roadmap promises four DLC drops in the first year

So uh, is this a good thing? Do we really want to repeat what happened to Payday 2 and have 50?

Edit: Sorry, my mistake. There’s 81.

Puzzle_Sluts_4Ever,

Payday 2 came out a decade ago. Eight dlc per year, with a lot being cosmetic, seems fine to me?

sirfancy,

That is far from normal. If these are free dlc, then that’s great, but this is more and more regular updates that they are locking behind a paywall. Many of them are not just cosmetic, and are entirely new guns that are overpowered enough to become the new meta in order to complete certain heists on certain difficulties. Some are brand new heists, too. They even added loot boxes two years after saying they wouldn’t (although they have rolled it back since then due to the predicable negative response). It’s always been a cash grab, and it’s unfortunate that it appears they may be falling back into old habits.

Puzzle_Sluts_4Ever,

No, that is very normal. Between “battle passes” and “season passes” and RMTs in in-game stores, 8 DLCs per year is pretty low.

As for adding new weapons: Welcome to a live game. If everyone that was released was worse than what was in the base game, what would be the point?

If you dislike the game and the kind of DLC they do, have fun. I will largely agree. But this constant refrain that comes up with long running games of “Ugh, there are so many DLCs” makes me wonder if people would lose their mind if they ever realized how many issues of a magazine there were or whatever.

“One of the randomly generated points of interest, the abandoned research tower, usually has a computer at the top where you can download the planetary survey data for the planet your [sic] on,” they wrote. “Just a tip!”

rgb3x3,

So what’s even the point of scanning things?

Why do it in the first place?

LoamImprovement,

The same as anything else in a Bethesda game, busywork.

BruceTwarzen,

Shut up and collect your trinkets

You still need to scan individual plants resources or animals to get the Surveying perk upgrades, which gives you better zoom on the scanner, which can be useful sometimes.

Xathonn,

You can sell the scan data to certain merchants, price seems to depend on the amount of stuff on the planet.

averyminya,

It’s a game with exploration elements, so the idea is that an areas you’ve visited may only have estimates of what resources are available. In some cases you could be the first person exploring it or noting its qualities.

The in game reason is the survey data you get is asked of you by one of the constellation members, as their space base “The Eye” has scanned all it can. We use the scan data for finding more artifacts (though I’m assuming it doesn’t outright give more missions). You can get the survey data before this activity and sell it for about half, which is why I assume it doesn’t really affect much.

There are also missions that ask for experienced surveyors to look for hospitable planets for their colony.

Rolder,

It’s a decent way to make money, but not really worth the effort of hunting down all the different flora and fauna. One time I had a planet where I had to land near the ocean and scan fish, that one was a total nightmare.

Nerd02,

You do it if you want to, it’s a game :)

You can make decent money off it, but first and foremost it should be something you enjoy. Personally I think that’s a very chill way of breaking the monotony, after having spent too much time flying around or walking through cities to complete quests. Exploring planets has got the nice plus of not having to deal with loading screens, unless you want to get back to your ship and move to a different biome.

SkyeStarfall,

Damn, bethesda ubisofted starfield

I don’t know about who else didn’t pay 70 bucks for this game, but I’m glad I didn’t pay 70 bucks for this game.

It’s a Bethesda game, what did you expect? ;)

I haven’t started it yet, but if past experience is any indication, the Xbox version should be far less buggy.

Totally expected this after the Fallout spinning head glitch:

Great concept. I’m surprised nobody’s attempted something similar with the Speed Racer franchise.
