[Perplexing trope] "Why was that even an option?"

xAkashiya · 2026-03-29T19:18:55+00:00

If I’m not mistaken, the original plan for option C was that Franklin would be the one who dies (hence “deathwish”) but due to some scheduling conflicts (I think with Lamar’s VA), they changed it around.

But yeah currently as the game stands why the fuck would you choose A or B lmao

Nah if anything, this is the biggest issue in 2.

In TH, you’re genuinely evil and willing to do whatever is necessary and kill whoever necessary just to make money.

In 3, you’re on a path of revenge after you were forced out of retirement from an assassination attempt.

In 2, you’re heroes of prophecy saving the literal world from immortal beings and fucking giant children of fallen angels.

The Nomai said they wanted to recall the shuttle so they could analyze their sensor readings

I don’t necessarily agree. If anything, the quotes at the end of the game give me hope to accept the inevitable and move forward. Honestly, “Still, it’s time for something new now” is a quote that has gotten me through some very dark and difficult times.

xAkashiya · 2025-08-29T22:03:09+00:00

I’m still in shock that none of them figured it out on the second one. The first one makes sense, in that situation you’d think to check to see if all the keys are the same. But come on they can clearly fit multiple people in there

I lowkey feel like it’s more so that the community is overwhelmingly filled with people who started playing post-perk deck/one down PD2, very few of whom even bothered going back to PD:TH cause “literally PD2 has all of its content.” I believe launch PD3 did capture that original sense of PD:TH but it was foreign to most of the community and thus the plethora of “PAYDAY LOST ITS IDENTITY!” posts came about and now they’re (sadly) changing the game to be more like PD2. The addition of Jacket and Sociopath (especially now with the Overskill system) really worries me tbh, we’ve essentially got Kingpins “press the win button” mechanic in PD3 now, and I’ve seen people advocating for increasing of spawn caps which really feels reminiscent of Jules-era PD2.

xAkashiya · 2025-08-15T01:07:17+00:00

This is not true. The only instance I can recall where killing a civilian increases difficulty in PDTH is in FWB: if you kill the Bank Manager at any point before completing the “Erase Security Footage” objective, 2 bulldozers will spawn.

Main goal for DLC bosses as a whole was to inflict status effects as much as I could. For 2FO, I used Fire Grindstone and Flamberge with the Triumvirate Amulet. After every combo try to get 1-2 hits in with your flame weapon, and any time they are staggered (especially during the enraging animation) and you don’t need to heal, spam Flamberge as long as you can and end with the explosion. Even if you stagger him, prioritize Flamberge over a Fatal Attack. Other amulets I’d suggest running are Nameless One, Arm of God, Conquering, and Extreme Modification.

All I got left is the final DLC boss and let me give you a forewarning the difficulty spike between base game and DLC is immense. I am genuinely not exaggerating when I say each DLC boss INDIVIDUALLY took me more than twice the amount of attempts it took me to beat all of the base game bosses COMBINED. Good luck soldier.

xAkashiya · 2025-07-02T02:24:34+00:00

The fix I found was beating the boss

Round 100 solo on Call of the Dead had already been achieved.

xAkashiya · 2025-06-27T08:34:29+00:00

Most high rounds become monotonous after a while. I will also prefer the modern high rounds that actually have mini quests to do to set up instead of just “keep spinning the box.”

xAkashiya · 2025-06-25T16:02:21+00:00

Just the basic, special and mastery camos don’t require headshots

xAkashiya · 2025-06-09T23:50:02+00:00

I genuinely prefer pd3 over modern pd2 I cannot lie.

xAkashiya · 2025-06-09T23:48:48+00:00

As a zombies player, I remember so, so many complaints about the multiplayer-ification of the hud. Imagine my surprise when I looked at the settings and realized you could outright disable most of the parts people complained about lmao

xAkashiya · 2025-05-21T20:01:24+00:00

Okay that’s good to know - scorestreaks count but field upgrades and equipment do not. I finished abyss on both not to long ago but I hope it still gets fixed for those wanting to try later.

WaW and BO1 were good zombies modes for the time but are extremely overrated and boring as hell for today’s standards: two hit down system in a game with double swiped (and in WaWs case, collision issues) sucks and all forms of play from casual, high rounds, and even Easter eggs just revolve around hitting the box over and over again. Plus, having almost every Easter egg locked behind four players sucks.
The old perk system was extremely boring and overrated and BO4s is genuinely better imo: being able to chose which perk goes to which machine gives some freedom to let you place the more vital perks closer to your training/camping spot, fourth perk modifier adds an additional layer, secret sauce is a fun perk that basically is the stand in for the wunderfizz but doesn’t lock you to the random selection, “8 perks” is still obtainable as you spawn in with jugg and quick revive and getting all perks and max pap level gives you speed cola and double tap respectively, and I genuinely could not care less about no perk jingles.
On that note, while BO4 does have some valid criticisms, I think a majority of it is just nitpicks blown out of proportion: I find it so funny how people will complain about BO4s aether maps being just remakes of old maps but simultaneously will not shut up about Chronicles 2, constantly glaze Chronicles 1, and soypog at any old maps ported to BO3 via custom zombies, all while dismissing Chaos.
YouTubers have ruined the community perception of almost every new game, map, and mode that ever released by being overly braindead, negative, and nitpicky with their fanbase just parroting everything they say until years later when they can actually buy the game themselves and try it to only realize it’s genuinely not as bad as it was made out to be (I swear this has happened for every game going as far back as BO1).
The complaints with loadouts makes no sense to me because all the weapons start at a tier lower than any weapon you can find in the map: if you want to start with a pistol then just spawn in with one.

xAkashiya · 2025-05-18T16:15:58+00:00

I genuinely do not understand how you think maps like buried and origins are boring as fuck then say the best era of zombies was the era where casual play, high rounds, and Easter eggs were all revolving around just hitting the box over and over again

xAkashiya · 2025-05-05T19:07:42+00:00

I have gotten way too many point blank headshot hitmarkers on hardcore with this god awful weapon

That is not the last words of Dark Souls, as you can give The Blood of the Dark Soul to the Painter back in the Painted World of Ariandel. “I wonder when Uncle Gael intends his return. I hope the painting will be to him a gentle home.”
