I want to keep this short.
Games good - should have been better.

I think its a shame that the developers have opted to use the excuse "Payday 2 didn't have that feature at launch, it was added at post" when addressing player's criticisms of missing features.

Payday 2 came out in 2013.

Have the standards not changed from a decade ago? Have Starbreeze not learnt anything since then? There are many quality of life improvements that have unfortunately not carried over. I have faith that the majority of these will resurface in Payday 3 eventually. Still their exclusions at launch, leaves the game feeling very incomplete for veteran players.

No offline mode. C'mon guys, the tutorials are done in offline. It's one of the only things you could do when the servers were down. And where's my damn kick button?? Watching a host pause in place, contemplating if they were reaching for the kick button was half of Payday 2's charm.

Complaints & jokes aside, I would still recommend Payday 3.
There definitely is something for new and returning players to enjoy.

Like most co-op games, best played with mates. That way when the kick button is finally added back. Them pausing in place, is likely just a server issue.
