The games foundation is great but it's plagued with issues that completely ruin the gameplay experience. Why should consumers constantly be punished for trying to enjoy a video game. There is still people who live in rural areas with little to no broadband. Well good luck trying to enjoy payday 3. Or even those with good broadband can't play it half the time either because the servers are having issues. The funny part is someone has modded the game which allows you to play offline. So they could easily remove the online requirement if they wanted to. Another thing I hated was it requires you to set up an account on their website. Why does every single thing I do these days want me to fill out a form. I just wanna hop on and have fun.
Once you finally win the game of matchmaking roulette and I mean you got more of a chance of hitting 0 in real life roulette the game is pretty good. Gameplay is a bit buggy at times but it's easy to look past those issues and have fun. The AI sometimes look a bit lost which can be funny. I seriously hope this company learns a bit more about pro consumer and removes this online requirement bs. It's killing preservation, hindering the gameplay experience and putting up another entry barrier. What if I want to hop back in after 20 years?? Or what if I wanna blast some heists on a handheld while traveling? Nope.
