Payday 3. I knew it... - eviltoast

I did the Payday 3 beta. It threw up a LOT of red flags about the matchmaking system. I made a post reviewing the game where I basically said that if I were smart, I wouldn’t be getting the game because based on the beta, matchmaking was going to be busted on release.

I broke down and got the game.

Matchmaking is busted.

          I bought the whole season pass thing

          Didn’t get to play on release day.

          Complete abject failure on the part of the developers. I hope they are feeling the shame.

          It’s hope money though. I hope they sort their shit out and give us a good game.

    This is really sad to see – I absolutely loved PD2 at release. It’s some of the most fun co-op moments I’ve ever had in a game (maybe even the best).

    I also played the beta and enjoyed the refined experience, but have still been working through BG3 and Starfield, so I decided to hold off on playing. Was hoping for a smooth release for everyone excited to play the game, so it’s disappointing to see how terrible the experience has been at launch.

      I have been sitting in matchmaking for over 3 hours at this point.

      Looks like big streamers can access the game just fine, but I get spinning wheel that is occasionally punctuated with getting an error message and kicked out of the game.

      The beta was like a week and a half ago, and matchmaking was crumbling under the small organized stress test. I KNEW that once the open internet hit the matchmaker the whole thing was going to implode.
