VGChartzs Paul Broussard: The biggest knock against Payday 3 may be out of its control entirely at this point, which is the player count. Payday 3 has seen its player base nosedive over the past couple of weeks, to the point where Payday 2s player base was ten times larger at one point. Even the discounted price of $40 is a tough ask for a game with inconsistent servers that not many people are playing on anyway. So I suppose the recommendation for Payday 3 comes down to whether you have friends that you can readily play it with. If not, its a little tough to suggest, even at a discounted price. But if you do have 2-3 people you can jump into a lobby with, give it a shot; it may not wind up quite surpassing Payday 2, but its still a fun co-op title thats unlike anything else on the market.
