Gameplay-wise, what is your opinion on PAYDAY 3?

[xpwn]

If you are one of the lucky few who was able to matchmake, what is your opinion on this game? Is it fun? Is stealth better than loud?

This post is intended to find opinions about the gameplay, put all your "NEBULA DATA ERROR" aside and state your opinion on the heisting?

stealth is improved mechanically, grinding is a lot worse as all xp is tied to challenges instead of finishing a heist (so you cant get xp just from doing a heist), feels more like payday 1 than payday 2 (good or bad, depending on who you ask)

I cannot tell you. Havent been able to play the game yet. #alwaysonlinewasagoodidea #monkeybrainsmanagement

stealth is way better, that's all I can say atm

the moment to moment gameplay in both loud and especially in stealth is improved in basically every conceivable way over 2 in my opinion, however things like lobbies being replaced with matchmaking and equipment unlock progression being tied to challenges kind of sucks. this is subjective but i also don't think the music is as good

It's barely a sequel. I played a few hours early this morning, and outside of better graphics and a few minor changes / additions it doesn't really add much to the formula. I feel like I'm playing a slightly improved version of Payday 2 when it comes to gameplay and visuals, but everything else is uninspired. The heists for example are basically just revamps of Payday 2 heists.

When I play Payday 3, I constantly get the feeling they just didn't come up with many ideas for what to include for PD3. That might be a side effect of releasing so much content for the previous game.

Overall it's an alright game when it works. It's enjoyable I guess.

Seems like they really missed the mark with online multiplayer only.

All server issues aside... The fights feel good. guns feel good to shoot so far but havent had a chance to get to deep. It is "Hard", enemies can take a hit and Dozers are scary now. Feels less run and gun, and more slow and steady to make it through a heist. overall it feels less arcady but still pretty good. I am hopeful once the issues get handled we could see lots of content in the future

It's pretty good

Stealth has been massively improved in my opinion, I didn't really like what stealth turned into in PD2 where it basically was if you got caught that was it, no second chances a good majority of the time so had to restart, but now there's deeper mechanics that you can take advantage of and skills to make it easier but not necessary to complete.

I like the improved gunplay for loud, the way the specials are designed are an improvement (shields having a weakness from the front for example), and the new Nader special basically makes the tear gas from PD2 into a dynamic threat instead of just fixed locations.

Not a huge fan of the armor system as it is right now just because I feel like in the long run everyone is going to run armor bags, because ammo and health is pretty plentiful and armor obviously stops you from needing health in the first place.

I have mixed feelings about the skill trees, some do feel really impactful and fun with a lot of synergy, but others feel pretty lackluster in either effect, build potential, or both.

Stealth - good, gunplay and loud - doodoo even on Normal/Hard; amount of bullets for kill is ridiculous, skills - awful; they've tried to jump into direction they didnt before, too bad for them. Should've improve old system, not create this nonsense. Grind is boring. Despite I was waiting for this game, I didn't have any WOW effect at all. Too many QoL changes needed. Grab it in a year or two.

Gameplay is Great but they really need to get rid of that Online Only and Need to fix the Leveling XP. Im not a fan of doing challenges. I just want to rob banks.

The progression sucks, stealth is amazing and loud can be fun if you have the right setup.

It's definitely got me more into waiting in line at the DMV that's for sure.
