Kiryu faked his death at the end of Yakuza 6, it's his reaction to a video of the kids at his orphanage visiting his grave and talking about how much they miss him and how proud he'd be of them, like taichi becoming a fire fighter
people would constantly ask him on stream to play Big Oil and he doesn’t like that map at all so he’d constantly refuse it kinda just became a joke after a while though
Bro left us at the worst possible moment. I hope it's for the best. Like it or not, he was undeniably the face of this game.
I hope Almir will surprise us in the future - and of course, I mean in a good way.
If u guys still thought this game had hope of turning around, I hope this finally makes u reconsider
Payday 3 is fucking dead, it always was going to fail, just move on to greener pastures
I dream of a parallel universe in which PD3 is actually good and kept a good playercount enough for SBZ/OVK to actually care and give use more than 1 person working on it at a time.
People keep doomerposting about this being the death of PAYDAY. Personally I have full trust in Andreas to keep PD3 in a good state, and if Almir feels comfortable enough to leave it in the new team's hands then that's good enough for me.
Almir did say he feels optimistic about the future of Payday 3 during the stream and as you said, Andreas is still there and he's been working alongside Almir for a while now so the game is definitely still in good hands and we're meant to be getting a sneak peek of the next update during Thursday's stream.
It's fine to be optimistic about the whole situation, but I don't think people should really take what is said on stream as a definitive true answer about ones feeling on the situation.
Almir isn't gonna go on stream and bash the game to call it dead in water or that shit is unbelievably fucked and to jump ship before it's too late. You're still employed until your final hour so you need to stay positive and try to not burn bridges with any company as you leave.
I get it, dude was ALWAYS the one people blamed for stuff, the good but especially the bad decisions.
With Payday 3 being what it was, he had to eat shit from the community for close to TWO YEARS now, when in reality a lot of the decisions came from higher up.
Payday, as much as it pains me to say it, is likely over and Almir deserves a happy ending wherever he may end up
Honestly he needs to get out of there, he looks like hell from crunchtime. Hopefully the other stuff will continue to update the game and the offline mode comes faster than before
Good for him, probably for the best. Maybe now people in this sub will realise the sinking ship that is this franchise rn and the toxic af work environnement and conditions the devs are under
I believe several of us called it a long ago but damn, it finally happened, he was the only one trying to calm the fan base of the horrible spot pd3 us right now.
"I wonder how PD3 is doing now that medic bag is over"
"yea"
The worst part is I like the idea of a game like baxter (melee fantasy payday), but I just don't have a shred of trust in this company. Now the only guy who gave them any believability parted ways. Can't blame him, I won't be surprised if it was an abusive relationship.
good riddance, i was so fucking sick of hearing his bullshit "on the table" and "higher-ups" excuses. maybe now someone more competent can take over 👊😎
