Sometimes, once in a blue moon something really special happens. You win the lottery, find the girl of your dreams or in some cases its something simple, something like the sequel to your favorite game franchise being announced.

This was the special moment for me, first hearing the rumors back in 2017 with Starbreeze mentioning the holy grail was in development, then the pure bliss of hearing the official announcement on March 19th 2021. I was ecstatic, finally a game I could play, relive all of the memories of fun with friends and reconnect to some old characters in game.

Fast forward; September 21st 2023. Release day. Steams homepage is a glow with banners, ads and recommended sections filled with our favorite 4 criminals. Having pre-ordered the game, I jumped straight in after my workday. Booted up and created a 3rd party account, a little strange I thought to myself. Forcing you to make a mandatory 3rd party account to even play the game? Regardless, the excitement overruled the feelings of doubt in my mind. I loaded in headed straight to customization to be greeted with a fairly lack luster array of well, customization? This is obviously a personal opinion but the actual variety in Payday 3 seems just very underwhelming.

I sat for a second before thinking, no use in worrying about customization right now. The aspect of Payday in not to mimic Fortnight, its to rob banks! Booting up the "No rest for the wicked" mission, I scoured the screen for the offline play feature and to my utter dismay, the game forces you to play online, even when in a private game. Again I shifted my view to playing rather than trivial features, but oh boy was I wrong to think offline play was a trivial feature.

Within 24 hours of release and not to mention a Beta test to put the servers through their paces and test the continuity of the tech hosting this game. Deep Silver has managed to keep the servers up for no more than 8 hours total in a 48 hour period. When spending money on a game that I really only get to play at peak times of the day after I have finished working. To then not be able to play it because of the gross misinterpretation of just how many fans would be returning to the franchise is actually insane to me. Payday 2 was and still is one of the most popular games on Steam, why Deep Silver themselves wouldn't have overcompensated for the first week of potentially one of the biggest releases on Steam this year is beyond me.

Regardless of the fact I have yet to even play the game. I continue to hope the developers will do right by the communities outcries for changes to the game in under 72 hours the game is at 27% positive reviews. I still have high hopes for this and understand the struggles of a big game release in the first week. But with almost no updates to the status of the games servers apart form VERY staggered X Tweets (Every 3-6 hours) unfortunately I as well as many others have to negatively review this game.

I will come back and edit this Review once I (finally) get to put some work in to the criminal activities I wish I could pull of in the real world.

Guess we have Payday 2 in the mean time right?

Brilliant game with fantastic level creation and gun-play

easy 10/10.

throw some head phones on and just become part of it, you need to play it to properly experience it, well worth the time and money.

Rust is kinda like Marmite, you love it or you hate it; or you want to push it down the stairs, drag it outside and curb stomp it. But when you do, somehow someway it just keeps bringing you back. You work hard for a month at a time for it all to be lost into the ether, just to start the cycle again and again and again.

The beauty of Rust is just that, the definition of insanity in the words of Albert Einstein is
"insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different result"

Tell me fellow Gamers, is this not what Rust is? Are we not all just a little, tiny bit insane?
