Anybody saved any of the MAYDAY 2 OC?

>>16130178

I just wanted to customize my guns and I got what a wanted thanks to PP.

>>16130219

I wish. The image in OP I only found through google image search. I pre-ordered payday2. It was painful.

>>16130154

You seriously fucked up your post OP. What the fuck.

Either way, Starbreeze being terrible should come to no surprise to anyone doing the slightest bit of research. It's honestly a miracle Payday 2 was as good as it was to begin with.

Take embed related for example. Flashbangs in Payday 2 used to be instant flashbang explosions with no way to see them coming or counter them. The decision is nicely justified with the quality quote: "Your opinion, My choice".

But that's not the only thing. The list of retardation goes on:

>Lootboxes featuring skins that give bonus stats

>Highest difficulty setting removing damage falloff from enemies, making any large open heist near impossible. Playing at high difficulty essentially boils down to using as much cheese skills together as possible. (swansong + inspire + max doctor bags + converts + dodge + perk deck that give some other form of bullshit survivability)

>No idea how to make the game more difficult, so just turns up the enemy spawnrate. Enemies spawn so fast the AI clogs up and cops take forever to the players. Later heists "fix" this by having enemies spawns right next to the fucking objective.

>Excessive enemy spawns next to objectives make long range weapons irrelevant, weapons like LMG's and automatic shotguns dominate the meta.

>Starbreeze actually had their offices raided by the police for insider trading, after the CEO resigned and the company filed for reconstruction

>Gamebreaking bugs & crashes out of the ass, the vast majority of them never being fixed over the long lifetime of this game's milking

>Introducing a crime spree feature where you do heists with escalating difficulty until you fail one, except the game is still unstable and crashing mid-heists counts as a loss

>Having absolutely no fucking idea on how to balance things (e.g. "buffed" the flamethrowers to be less about tapping for ignite damage over time by making it do less base damage but give it more ammo, but we didn't bother increasing the ammo pickup rate so it's basically worse now and tapping became even more important)

>Wolf not getting new voice lines because the CEO doesn't like the voice actor ( 21min video on the subject: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrTDzzLKyu8 )

The retards finally had their stupidity catch up to them. They haven't released any successful game besides Payday 2.

Every game they've put out is a buggy mess and feels like a carbon copy of Payday 2. People don't want to play an even buggier Payday 2 with shit for content.

>>16130154

Mismanagement and mentally ill insecure subhumans are always present in leftist studios. That is why they failed.

That, and being swedish.

>>16130154

>Raid: World War 2

I remember playing the beta and wondering what they did with the money then I saw the ads with John Cleese.

Man, I miss the old Payday 2 threads we used to have. I had some fun games with anons.

>>16130232

>They haven't released any successful game besides Payday 2.

and pd2 was only successful because it was the sequel to a flawed but fun game with the hope it will improve and have more content.

>>16130731

massive is swedish too, for some reason they are not that pozzed (yet). at least that one chick talking shit on twitter was silenced like a day later (while still working there tho).

>>16135528

>massive

>ubisoft

>made the division

>the game that is 20% white and has a main female character say specifically mention they have a wife multiple times in the same sentence to get across the fact that they are, in fact, a fucking dyke

>made the division 2

>the game where 80% of the cast including main characters and npcs is non-white and characters have names like "inaya al-khaliq" which is an actual character in the game massive made

>not pozzed

I Personally was very sad to see what Payday2 was in the initial days. It was an absolute shitshow compared to what was promised. An example: Multi-day heists.

I also think that they really said fuck you to the consumer and the existing playerbase when they released DLC. They had an incomplete game that they had lied about what was being offered, and then only years later, after numerous DLC pieces, have they achieved anything near what they had originally promised.

Anti-cheat was a joke, still is. Pirateparty if anyone's interested.

>>16135559

You can use Pirateparty to unlock all the DLC for free.

>>16135578

Thanks, I know of that, it still doesn't fix the RNG bullshit unfortunately

>>16135608

>>massive makes a game where a nigger in a hoodie can take full MG3 magazines to the head before even feeling it

no dude, he stops to put his hand to his head to check for blood for a second

get it right for ffs

>>16135616

>massive has fuck all to do with other ubisoft games

Except they spent 5 fucking years co developing those franchises and didn't have a project of their own from 2008 to 2013

>>16135616

<FarCry and Massive are /ourguys/

FUCKING BASED

>>16135643

yes, and? they're doing division exclusively now which means whatever pozz end ups in other games has no affect on them (also means if they go full retard it's all on them too).

>>16135653

They don't make pozz filled games. They just make really shitty games out of really good ideas.

>>16135616

>majority of white npcs, literal no important black npc, 1 single asian female.

no, majority of white cast, randomly spawned npcs have only like a 25% chance to be white which means inherent race mixing as well as couples are randomly generated

>portrays said dyke as annoying unlovable cunt

not any more as any of the other characters, arbitrary

>portrays niggers as literal niggers

the niggers are of all races and they often have white voice actors

>lets you kill hordes said niggers

need some enemy to fight

>lets you kill yass queen spouting blm bullshit

you were supposed to feel bad about it dickhead

>majority of white npcs in the white house and mix of everything in the first settlement

the person who talks to you every mission is a fucking spic and the majority of npcs come from settlements thus they are non-white

>plays in dc with literally 50% black population, anon is surprised that it has niggers in it

not niggers, literal brown foreigners that are not from america

>>on top of killing hordes of niggers and rednecks lets you now kill stronk womyn too

with them on your team, i also don't see how being able to kill stronk womyn is depicting them negatively as they want to show that womyn are capable of fighting

why are you going so hard out of your way to defend ubishit with niggers, other shitskins, sassy stronk womyn fighters, forced blatant dykes, and other diversity inserts?

So who is going to post the bulldozers?

>>16136631

there we go nigga

>>16130808

I remember the build discussions and some autism. It was nice.

>>16136861

>a bunch of competent fags could easily make a game far better than GAYDAY 2

You underestimate how difficult making such a game would be.

Even simply creating a decent arcadey shooter a la payday 2 is surprisingly hard, as the failed clones from the same company prove.

>>16135669

>randomly spawned npcs have only like a 25% chance to be white which means inherent race mixing as well as couples are randomly generated

Choosing random models for inconsequential NPCs to make it a little less obvious they're all copy pasted, the horror.

You're reading too much into dev tricks to deliver the ubisoft "open" world experience at the lowest cost possible.

>>16136921

i kind of like the ragefaces tbh. they look unsettling.

would watch a slasher film where the dawg and baitface team up and beat the shit out of redditors for driving a perfectly good meme format into the dirt

>>16136921

>a 4 player coop arcadey shooter could easily be made

Then why don't we see more of them go big?

Why do we still have devs shitting out mediocre left2dead clones to this day?

>>16136947

>using baitface

they would neeed permission from the owner to make the movie or else get sued for some copyright mumbo jumbo

>>16136952

because they're devs that dont care about quality, originality or good games? if you make a 4 player game and just copy L4D then its shovelware to make a quick buck, there arent that many because nobody wants to risk creating the best or worst 4 player game and i think people are too busy playing BR games to care about any other type of game

>>16136921

Where's that dude's chin?

>>16136963

>because they're devs that dont care about quality, originality or good games?

But they care about money, and payday 2 shows there's a lot of money to be made there.

And I'm not talking twice the average profit, I'm talking a hundreds times that.

You don't need fancy graphics, you don't need to host servers yourself, you don't even need a great engine: if making such a game was easy, it would be any publisher's dream.

>>16136980

He's Jewish

>>16136982

>You don't need fancy graphics, you don't need to host servers yourself

yeah you dont need 10000s of polys thrown everwhere over 4K textures and post processing effects to make the game look good and you could always allow players to host their own servers like alot of other games

>you don't even need a great engine

some fags can make it in UE4 or unity

>publishers dream

thats why you dont get partnership with a publisher for anyreason they always ruin the game and dumb it down for faggot casuals. making a game like that would be easier than any other shit AAA games are doing nowadays, its just that everyone is focused on the latest flavour of the month to give a shit about aything else, thats why there are so much BR games and modes and not much of anything else and since they care about money the will focus on BR and shoveling as much microtransactions and passes down the throats of normalfags and children

>>16136982

Agree except

>you don't need to host servers yourself

That's a gateway drug to whales buying accounts from Chinese miners instead of buying their boons from the game store.

Not a lot of incentive to buy DLC gun when you already lost your sense of progression after unlocking 95% of everything.

Payday 2 has always been DLC, DLC, sale so current players gift game/they were banned, DLC, newer players buy DLC at full price, DLC, events and daily grind to keep playercount up.

It's always been about monetization and "hey let's make it so that when our game dies and the servers go down a few people can still LAN play it" isn't monetization.

Unless normalfags get into LAN play, there's not enough financial incentive to even think about it.
