@themoonisacheese@sh.itjust.works avatar

The extreme is already a hard sell over the deck. It is barely more powerful for much larger price, and it is considerably less frame-time consistent than the deck. Buying anything less powerful is a waste.

This Steam stuff will never take off. I’ll never give up my trusty CD-ROM.

Aurenkin,

Yeah I hope this trend of having to use a launcher for my game dies. It’s so much less convenient than just putting the disc in.

SurpriZe, (edited )

I personally use a very handy “no-cd” executable I’ve recently found on the interwebs. Saves you from having to store a disc in perfect condition.

Yewb, do games w Payday 3 developer drops Denuvo from the game before it's even out

Dude that pre release beta was terrible almost everything was inferior to payday2 there is zero chance if me buying this game.

RedditWanderer,

Damn that’s sad to hear.

All they had to do was remake payday 2 with a few improvements/new puzzles/ maps and they would have made bank.

Payday 2 sold 40 million copies full AAA price too (like 79$ back then or wtv). They should have had the money to make a good game.

Fraylor,

Well after paying executive salaries and bonuses they unfortunately couldn’t have predicted the game would be on a bootstrap budget.

Tbh I'm not really a fan of this stance either. If I'm buying a sequel I expect meaningful improvements, otherwise you're just ripping me off for something that could have been a dlc or expansion to the first game.

themoonisacheese,

Tbh, a large part of payday2’s problems stem from being built on a racing game engine. Redoing pd2 on unreal straight would be of course a lot of work, but the end result would be a better product that I would pay for. Payday3 on the other hand doesn’t look like something that I would enjoy based on the fact unlike pd2.

GreenMario,

I played the beta.

It’s prettier Payday 2 with some quality of life tweaks. Plus it’s cross platform multiplayer which means I can PC with my Xbox friends.

That other guy is just salty. Whatever, it’s a brand new game for $40, not $70. I’d say give gamepass a shot if ya wanna rent it for a month.

PP_BOY_,
@PP_BOY_@lemmy.world avatar

Didn’t play it but I had to drop PD2 with about 200 hours on it after all the microtransactions got too much to deal with. Coupled with the fact that hosts could leave games in the middle of a heist with no punishment and risking your account being banned for accidentally getting on a crew with a hacker, the game lost a lot of its appeal.

themoonisacheese,
@themoonisacheese@sh.itjust.works avatar

It is basically impossible to be banned at all from playing payday 2. The worst you can do is equip invalid stuff, which marks you as a cheater and most people kick marked cheaters.

PP_BOY_,
@PP_BOY_@lemmy.world avatar

Idk my account was banned for about a month within the first year of the game coming out because a hacker started spawning infinite money bags on the Harvest bank. It took about a month of emails with support to get my account unbanned. It’s possible that they’ve since slacked off on enforcement, but I haven’t played the game in easily 5 years at this point.

CancerMancer,

Payday 2 did two things that drove me away: fundamental changes to the gameplay long after release that did not improve it (heavyhanded stealth nerfs), and an absolute mountain of DLC, complete with power creep.

I will be waiting quite a while before touching Payday 3 because I want to see how they will monetize it. Remember, it’s up against the likes of Deep Rock Galactic which is not at all abusively monetized. We do not need to suffer that shit again.

@ElmarsonTheThird@feddit.de avatar

Good it’s on gamepass after release so you can test it out until it eventually leaves.

gk99,

I mean, to be blunt, the game was never going to beat PAYDAY 2. PD2 is years of updates and content additions to make it fun despite the shitty engine, PAYDAY 3 is a brand new game with a lot of potential but all of it unrealized.

GreenMario, do games w Payday 3 developer drops Denuvo from the game before it's even out

Appreciated but strange. Did they look at the sub cost and went nah or something else? I mean could have just wanted it for the beta but idk seems overkill (heh heh).

Selmafudd,

I don’t understand why anybody would pay for it while it can be cracked… sure its likely only one person in the world can crack it atm but if she wants to crack it she can and then it’s gonna be uploaded and repacked by multiple people.

ThunderingJerboa, (edited )
@ThunderingJerboa@kbin.social avatar

But its multiplayer only (which has its own problems). So a crack would be pointless. Its always pinging home, so it just wouldn't work.

Selmafudd,

I’ve never played any of the paydays so yeah I’m not sure, some multiplayer can work with self hosted servers etc.

But yeah if it’s only official servers even more reseaon not to pay for the service

@kugmo@sh.itjust.works avatar

a plan to provide media outlets with two versions of games, one with Denuvo included and one without

If end users cannot test it’s useless.

I used to play PD2 with international friends, but latency being what it was I could only really play loud missions. Here’s hoping modern netcode somehow solves the issue of being spotted by guards that are behind a wall from my perspective.

I wish working public transit was on this list, especially because it’s used in the PL cinematic trailer (again).

JJROKCZ,

Didn’t a mod get it kinda working not that long ago? The trains were still moving and the stations were there on release, CDPR just put walls up or disabled the doors to the stations/trains. They’re a little jank to ride but it was doable. Felt like CDPR just decided focusing on cool cars was more worth the effort

@Metal_Zealot@lemmy.ml avatar

So, do people actually play Pay Day? All I know is that it’s a game. Haven’t seen trailers, haven’t seen anyone play it on Twitch, it’s like a “fake” game that’s a joke that’s been going on for a really long time

xchino,

I mean the last one was released in 2013, it’s not exactly super relevant but if you’re that unaware of it I assume you were playing habbo hotel or whatever little kids played 10 years ago.

RedditWanderer, (edited )

Holy shitballs. It feels like just yesterday we were firing up payday 2 on release day with a bunch of friends and risking having a seizure at any moment on the “start heist” page.

I figured yeah payday 2 was like 5 years ago, time for a new one. 10 fucking years… i need a drink!

TheaoneAndOnly27,

Oh man, I feel old now. It was so fun when it came out. I remember the first time I solo stealthwd the nightclub. I kinda got burnt out when it went more absurd. Like after John wick.

Metal_Zealot, (edited )
@Metal_Zealot@lemmy.ml avatar

I’m aware of it like I’m aware of NFL games. They’re just kinda there and offer nothing new

all-knight-party, (edited )
@all-knight-party@kbin.cafe avatar

Some people, like me, are probably just waiting to see what happens. Payday 2 was awesome, but after release it got microtransactioned and piecemeal DLC'd to high fucking heaven. I don't care if the beta is good, I want to see what it'll become before I get invested.

Metal_Zealot, (edited )
@Metal_Zealot@lemmy.ml avatar

“Beta” it’s just “Early Access” with less free playtesters

drekly,

Man I was playing habbo hotel 20+ years ago

GreenMario,

Look at steam charts. Payday 2 is always in the first page. It’s very popular.

TheBlue22, (edited )

…are you an A.I.? Your comment is so incomprehensible that I fr think it was A.I. generated

Metal_Zealot,
@Metal_Zealot@lemmy.ml avatar

If you can’t parse anything from that, when multiple others have proven they can, then I’m not the one with issues here

Commiunism,

Yeah it’s one of those fake games they put in the movies so the movie company doesn’t have to pay licensing fees

Metal_Zealot,
@Metal_Zealot@lemmy.ml avatar

They could have just called it “Game” and I wouldn’t have been any the wiser

That’s cool but unless I actually get the DLC, I have no reason to reinstall it again

Dragonmind, do games w Forget Phantom Liberty, Cyberpunk 2077's free 2.0 patch is a staggering upgrade on its own

Combat was the incredible highlight of this game.

Seeing most of the fixes go towards that instead of immersion kinda… You’d think they highlight those immersive aspects more. The mods are sure as hell all about immersion including working stock markets and such.

Alright!

As soon as I saw they would be using denuvo I said to myself “nope! Fuck this game”

Hope they keep their promises

DoucheBagMcSwag, do games w Payday 3 developer drops Denuvo from the game before it's even out

Good. Having Denuvo in an always online game was fucking stupid

I still won’t play it because it’s another always online live service

PP_BOY_, do games w Amnesia: The Bunker's Halloween update plans to make this year's scariest game even more terrifying
@PP_BOY_@lemmy.world avatar

Does anyone have any suggestions for horror games that aren’t frustratingly difficult? I feel like with most horror games, the scare factor wears off after the second restart because game developers think that one-hit enemies and no weapons makes things scarier, but I disagree.

The last real horror game that I played was The Iron Lung and while it was great, the total game has almost no replay value and can be completed in under an hour.

SOMA is pretty good for that, it's got a mode where the monsters can't hurt you. I played on that mode and enjoyed it immensely for its story and environmental merits.

AFLYINTOASTER, do games w Payday 3 developer drops Denuvo from the game before it's even out

Hell yeah we love to see it
