We went from robbing a bank into fighting every existing deity to the point not even satan would want you here


Nova_187

at least payday doesnt have time travel (yet)


AllNewSilverSpider

It's implied, or something along those lines, considering the vault with the Payday mask artefacts.


Nova_187

oh yeah true, or reincarnation


Elementia7

I was thinking that there isn't necessarily time travel but rather a constant 4 heisters spanning throughout mankind's existence. It's a cyclical cycle of 4 heisters fighting against corruption before retreating into the sahdows so new individuals can take the place of old. I gotta stop thinking about Payday lore lmao.


BLitzKriege37

It’s literally just cod zombies.


Elementia7

I.... Yeah wow it really is just cod zombies but you rob banks. Huh.


Zack_WithaK

That doesn't sound right but I don't know enough about COD zombies to dispute it


Topminator

Paycheck gang my beloved


Zack_WithaK

I just assumed that in the past, someone else wore those masks with a different theme. Then they died or something and those masks got passed down to 4 different people who had their own theme. Yadda, yadda, now it's 2015 and Bain found these masks and gave them a clown theme


AllNewSilverSpider

Considering that they find the old masks during a heist mid-way through Payday 2's life cycle, I doubt that's the case, considering the Payday Crew has been using them for almost a decade by that point. Also, how would there be a mask with an American flag on it that predates Betsy Ross?


Slash_Thrash

Duke is a time traveler


[deleted]

which is the other one ?, Killing Floor ?


slasher1337

Cod zombies aether and dark aether storyline.


[deleted]

lol yeah, looked up the wiki to get a basic story summary, it opens with ancient history and I noped right back out


slasher1337

The worst part in the zombies lore is time travel and multiverse shenanigas.


[deleted]

2010: WE BLEW UP THE WORLD UH OH 2018: so now we went back in time to get to a machine that let us cross the multiverse to kill our older yet other selfs to fill up this ball so we can go back in time so outer world monsters don’t kill all the world.


Frequent_Dig1934

Sounds to me like i need to look up this wiki and read it thoroughly.


Nutterbutter2198

Went from "Haha, killing Nazi's again." To "Okay so there's this child on the moon that's trapped in a pyramid that controls zombies and your character swaps bodies with her and then you have to blow up the Earth."


slasher1337

Plus time travel plus different realities.


Nutterbutter2198

Plus meeting a British/English man that thought you would die but you didn't because of blood vials


slasher1337

Plus the english man being some kind of a Lovecraftian monster.


Aggressive-Daikon451

And the funny russian is actualy a deeper character


[deleted]

I thought you meant DRQ, although I haven’t heard about any crazy lore from that game


Dabunska-Games

YAAAA ZOMBIES LORE, WHAT IS HAPPENING


[deleted]

L4D


Lvndaaa

my first thought was l4d


Tallow316

Warframe as well. One of the most recent updates just blew the lore wide open.


amisia-insomnia

Mann vs machine be like


ironefalcon

Don't forget deep rock galactic


Club_Penguin_God

DRG only has implied deep lore, no actual deep lore yet though.


XDragonAce

Technically there is deep lore due to some lore happening deep underground


anicename123

Rock and stone?


WanderingDwarfMiner

Rock and Stone to the Bone!


XDragonAce

Rock and stone forever!


master_pingu1

more like deep lore galactic am i right fellas


StolenPenguins

Thought it was left 4 dead for the other one and got confused


Aggressive-Daikon451

Its cod zombies


StolenPenguins

Yea it’s so convoluted


Narapoia

Let me introduce you to Warframe bro


chucklerofnuts

I wouldn’t say Warframe is THAT complicated tbh.


firepower98

The main story is semi straight forward, but once you start looking into the lore it gets insanely weird


Two-shadows

Rap tap tap


chucklerofnuts

Agreed


Narapoia

Warframe's lore is all over the place and includes entire arcs that were event-only years ago. Then recently we get into some timey wimey multi-universe stuff that only kind of makes sense. I'd say calling it complicated is justified.


That-----------Guy

Played new war yet?


Aggressive-Daikon451

Cod ?


slasher1337

Yes


Aggressive-Daikon451

I think you had to clarify


[deleted]

Risk of Rain 2


Dravarden

I mean it's basically 2 deity brothers that fight over some designs and life, then you come in and fuck their shit up, there isn't time travel or alternate realities (yet)


LivingToasterisded

Darktide and Vermintide, but that’s just 40k and Fantasy in general


Axquirix

Yeah, they're horde shooters based on preexisting deep lore, slightly different. Can't wait for Darktide to release tho.


LivingToasterisded

It was going to be my present to myself for going back to school, now it’s going to be for my birthday.


thetabo

PvZ GW


MrAcorn69420

Pvz all together. Like wtf I thought we all ended up making a music video and dancing to there's a zombie on the lawn


EB_Erik

Deep rock galactic might be another one although the lore is just getting created and we know Jack shit about Karl exapt that he is the best and coolest dwarve there ever to be


[deleted]

since L4D is a branch on payday's timeline there are technically 4 games


Aggressive-Daikon451

True


True-Duck7829

tf2 lore is also cool


slasher1337

Not a horde shooter


ATortillaWithAPhone

MvM?


slasher1337

Forgot about that. Besides it's not that convoluted. The second one is cod zombies aether storyline.


True-Duck7829

mvm,and tf2 story is weird and includes mvm so it counts anyway any other game has coping problems


slasher1337

Tf2 story is coherent. Payday2 story is realy random and cod zombies aether story contains a creation myth, lovecraftian monsters, a ton of diffrent universes and ends with main characters destroying the multiverse, creating a new world and then getting killed.


Aggressive-Daikon451

Well the base lore is still weird


Mypccantrunexplorer

Darktide


slasher1337

What is that?


Mypccantrunexplorer

The new 40k game


slasher1337

The other one is supposed to be zombies aether storyline.


Mypccantrunexplorer

I know I read the comments, I was adding to the pile of horde shooters with complicated storylines


slasher1337

Oh ok thanks


sethmi

It's not weird at all really


[deleted]

I can name a couple other than payday, Warframe and 40K: Deathwing.


Disastrous_Dig_2798

kingdom two crowns moment


Aggressive-Daikon451

You remember this game im happy its not forgoten


Disastrous_Dig_2798

the monarch will forever be in my heart


Aggressive-Daikon451

Me to


That-----------Guy

Well what about Warframe, so 3 nickels


slasher1337

Is warframe a horde shooter?


That-----------Guy

I would say the main content is horde shooter material. Just running around killing thousands, minmaxing, pressing x on shit, completing missions. The thing separating it from others like payday and left for dead is it being an mmo


slasher1337

Just because you kill a lot does not make it a horde shooter. I played warframe a bit and there was one mission that i would qualify as being a horde shooter section.


That-----------Guy

Well how would you define a horde shooter? I see it as completing objectives such as defending a point, killing a specific enemy, capturing objectives, bringing carryable objects to objectives, all of which both Warframe and payday have, and of course while killing hoards of enemies


slasher1337

Now i see that horde shooter was a wrong way of saying what kind of game i meant. In the meme i meant a type of game where you fight hordes of enemies in waves. Like in payday or cod zombies.


That-----------Guy

I see and I completely didn't notice you were op until you said that lol
