Is Hoxton going to hate Houston forever?

[DrunkenQueen]

"Hey sh!t for brains, follow me."
"Oi, d!ckhead, follow me."
Should Houston stand up for himself or Dallas stand up for his little brother?
Hoxton got his revenge but maybe still not enough due to 2 years in jail and being replaced by someone else.

[Cipher]

New voiceovers that are coming would suggest that Houston's about to fire back at Hox. At least one can hope.

[Magpie]

Probably.

[Regular Player]

You comrades ditched you in jail for 2 years and they do not rescue you, and instead replace you.
If i were Hoxton, believe me, i would be pissed at the entire gang, especially Houston.
So in short, Yes.

It does seem like Hoxton is behaving like a spoiled little 3 year old. But if you examine his attitude towards Houston, his sudden giant ego, and some of the lines he has during the breakout, plus the fact that it is HIS idea to call Dallas' brother Houston, you can see something very clear: Hoxton is the personification of the PAYDAY 2 Community. Which behaves like, you guessed it, a bunch of spoiled 3 year olds.

Hoxton has no reason to hate Houston. He wasn't replaced at all. The role of the fourth man was empty, and someone needed to fill it. The alias of Hoxton is simply that - an alias. Something to call one of the robbers without giving out any real information to the police. Hoxton's unfounded hate for Houston because of a mask is parallel to the unfounded hate that even today we see from the community towards Houston. I promise you if Houston was Hoxton in PD1, nobody would hate him. It's a matter of "I don't like change". People will try to say his character is flat, but so is everyone else's. His character is him saying "Get the ♥♥♥♥ up" just like everyone else.

Hoxton suddenly seeing himself all high and mighty (play Breakout, whenever Hoxton talks about himself he's always being extremely condencending) is the exact same as the community suddenly seeing him all high and mighty. He was just another character in PD1, it's just that he changed between the two games (technically so did Chains, but the change wasn't as drastic) that suddenly the community thinks he's so much better. But really this is just because he's "the original", nothing more.

Hoxton, just like the community, is the only character to show an extreme dislike for Bain's "Thermal Drill" line, despite Bain never saying this in PD1 so it makes no sense whatsoever unless Hector's job where Hoxton was left behind involved a thermal drill. (To be fair, it probably did if they were doing the job PD2 style)

And him coming up with Houston's name? Community did that, so Hoxton did it in universe.

Hoxton is the worst of the Payday 2 community personified, which is the reason some people don't even like him anymore. They caught on to this, or at least to his behavior.

TL;DR

Hoxton will stop hating Houston when the community does. Which only a handful have.

the reason people liked the characters from payday: the heist more than payday 2 is they had more interaction with each other, and with the objectives. which Payday 2 has been in need of since Day 1 of its launch.. sadly we haven't seen much in the way of improvement, only mentions of new voice over work which may or may not include some of these gripes.

so yes calling the characters flat right now is legit, they are. horribly so.

Should have saved that for a discussion on John Wick.

The thing about that though is in the majority of heists (Diamond Heist excluded to a degree) the characters still didn't have much personality of their own because they would still say the same lines.

with those same repeated lines of dialog, they still get more personality than they get from 2 and basically its call outs.

Sure, Green bridge, Slaughterhouse, FWB and the other one. i dont remember its name at the moment didn't have much in the way of dialog, but Counterfeit, Undercover, Diamond heist, no mercy all were awesome (no mercy to a lesser extent).

Truth, someone has to be a manchild to keep on hating someone else for months straight even when he has all his time to swear, insult, probably spill hot coffee cups on the other guy's suit "accidentally" on a daily basic, and still not cool down afterward. Beside why Houston? It was either Bain's or Dallas's idea to let him in in order to temporary replace Hoxton, why didnt Hoxton get mad at them instead? The whole Hoxton hating on Houston to no end like this really ruins his image on me.

Isn't the payday gang supposed to be brothers? Why do they have to use an eye for an eye policy when treating each other like that? FFS can we stop with this ♥♥♥♥ now?

[comrade yui]

Hoxton will stop hating Houston-kun when he bothers to call out his sniper kills.

It's a joke. It's not bullying.

When did a sense of humour become so rare?

Edit: Y'know.. A real one. Not memelord crap
