I hope that Hila is the actual playable character and Ethan will be an NPC that runs around and distracts cops with his fupa and vape clouds while his caretaker actually shoots police.

Only if he has his tingle costume
Bomb: "To go up the hill you need some Advil" Forest
Bomb: "You take the jump and you'll be dumber than Gump” Forest
Bomb: "Having a blast? You'll go down fast" Forest
Bomb: "You got a good haul, but wait, you fell to a crawl!" Forest
Bomb: "Have a trip, become a crip" Forest
Holy shit the subreddit is really salty about Ethan and Hila. Didn't think people would get that mad about two silly characters.
As someone who fell in love with Payday 1 partly because of the slick and professional tone, this is jumping the shark pretty hard

I have no idea why the safe house trophy requires you to beat Bomb Forest on [I]Death Wish[/I] but suffice to say that I have made my peace with knowing that I'll never unlock it

As someone who has never got salty about "but the lore!!" with any of the crazy characters added, this one still kind of rubs me the wrong way because at the end of the day it's still a chubby comedian known for making funny faces at YouTube videos in muh bank robber game. I think Dragan is the only other dude based on a real person, and he's an actual bank robber. Even other tie-in characters (John Wick, Jacket, Jimmy, Rust as an expy of Clay) are known for being criminals and killers.
Like, at least someone like Freddie Wong uses guns in his YouTube vids. As much as I enjoy the occasional H3H3 vid and appreciate that OVK is sending the dosh their way it doesn't seem like a good fit.
No matter if you like it or not, a lot of people actually wanted their april fools pack to become a reality
In the end Overkill is just pleasing some out there, no matter if others really hate it
On the topic of the other games, how can you already tell it's gonna be bad when we've barely seen anything yet :v:
I think it's cool OVK is helping h3h3, I don't really know their content but from what I've seen in filthy frank idubbbz collabs they definitely dont fit the tone but as I love to remind everyone payday lost its tone ages ago
Hotline Miami was a shift from hardened heisters to local terrorists who are their own avengers of crime
Yeah but I want Cash Catchem and Overkill didn't add him
[QUOTE=TacticalBacon;52214871]Yeah but I want Cash Catchem and Overkill didn't add him[/QUOTE]
Just make a big enough noise about it. I'm plenty sure that at this point, many would want him in the game as well.
If it's literally just them as themselves, it's gonna be a bit cringey.
[QUOTE=DeadMansChest;52211668]Wouldn't Hila be like the 3rd person in the gang to have any form of military background? The others being Chains and Wick.[/QUOTE]
she's also the 2nd Jewish heister :v:

I beti ts gonna be just them being themselves
At least you can still use some real events as a motivation to join them
Then again aren't we really past the point of characters making sense
don't see why people have such a hard time with bomb forest tbh, just be careful when you sprint downwards and don't jump off the train cars in the slope's direction
As messy as the lore is, there's one bit that makes a lot of sense:
Hotline Miami 1 and Scarface being in the same continuity.
1983, Tony Montana happens. Rises to power, becomes Miami's #1 coke baron. Dies, and his bolivian collaborators get arrested, leaving a power vaccuum.
6 years later, 1989, this power vaccuum has been filled by the Russians, until Jacket shows up and murders them all.
Rain mod is fucking amazing, cna make some heists really atmospheric

Honestly, a goofy character pack that won't hurt my game. I'm more interested in seeing how the game evolves for its last year.
I just wonder wether Ethan will actually look normal or exaggerated
I just noticed the Ethan character pack page they made for April fools now redirects to the page for the Ultimate Edition

and where do you fit [sp]nuclear armageddon[/sp] into all this? :v:

I don't. Only HM1 seems to be canon, you can tell by the fact that it's not [sp]World War fucking 3[/sp]

The world of Payday (in general, not the events and people surrounding the gang as of late) seems much too normal for a world where the Cold War actually broke out.[/sp]
Let's not forget that Point Break 2015 and Hardcore Henry were also thrown in there for no real reason. I can kinda let Wick slide at this point (I haven't seen the second one, don't talk about it) but the real answer is that the rest aren't canon no matter what Overkill says because it simply doesn't make sense and it's just there as an excuse to add more characters.
[editline]May 2017[/editline]
Didn't see the above post. Still, which one of them is "canon" shouldn't really be dictated by what Overkill says. I think it's silly to try to figure out how Scarface and Payday are connected because they aren't, beyond Overkill's wish to add Scarface as a character.
Point Break's the weirdest one. Because it's 2015!Bodhi but also the Ex-Presidents are a thing?
Honestly Coyoteze should just pester a writer to provide us a continuity chart.
[editline]11th May 2017[/editline]
Maybe I'll try to make a chart with how I think it's meant to link. Probably overthinking it.
personally I like to believe that heisters without a clown mask (jacket, wick, bodhi, jimmy, etc) arent' canon
Remember the scene in Scarface where he joins a bunch of assholes, puts on an anime mask and runs around in the streets collecting drug-filled goats for a Russian crimelord?
Such a classic.
Remember it's canon in payday that the gang hit FWB twice, chased Matt down the exact same street they did 6 years ago, and had another spectacular breakout on the green bridge
Remember the part in John Wick where he does an escort mission and then has a nightmare about being a Counter-Strike rats map?

That was a good part of the film tbh
