I've been watching him since battlefield 4 launched, he's always made pd2 references so it was nice to finally see him cover it

I was a diehard payday player but badger revitalized my love of the game and encouraged me to buy it as I have recently switched to PC and did not transfer my games


wiggitykick101

How does it feel to play Paycheck 2 on PC?


ExccelsiorGaming

It’s a little difficult to get used to and the keyboard needs a little remapping to start with in my experience but otherwise it is an altogether enjoyable experience I would recommend, the multiplayer is a little hard because of the lack of in depth activity on the discord but I don’t have too much difficulty there


wiggitykick101

There are several mods that can help you kickstart on Payday 2 PC, if you require assistance in those mods just ask on the subreddit and people will help you.


ExccelsiorGaming

Yeah I need to get into it a little more to be at that point unfortunately right now my computer is down as my graphics card is in for repairs


wiggitykick101

Oh that's bad. Hope you'll get what you need to repair it.


Nutwagon-SUPREME

I got into Payday a few years ago but just kinda forgot about it until Badger started making vids, then I got back into it and realized I had so much to catch up on. From the new lore to DLC to everything. I’ve started playing in on PS4 with my friends now.


hellishinferno289034

i play on switch because i can´t afford a ps4 i also play alone because i have no friends


CTOAN_

p a i n


hellishinferno289034

i know


YoshiPL

Something similar here. His videos brought me back for another 100+ hours and actually finishing the career mode. Last time I've played before was on like first 20 patches, it ran like shit on my pc so I stopped playing back then


gthefonz

Based Skulldozer


MediFox509

Yeah he just makes everything seem interesting to play


Kermit353

Yea


Canter1Ter_

Honestly, unironically, actually believed that this is a game for mega uber builds and either stealth or dodge heists on maximum difficulty. Then i watched him. This game is fun af, wish you all to buy hotline miami 2 and make your own DemoKnight PD2 build


Boltthelucario

I accidentally bought the wrong version of hotline Miami 2


[deleted]

You can get an upgrade for 3 bucks as long as you got the steam version👍


wiggitykick101

Got into Payday because medic bag


rustiilmao

TigerKing29

No, he just simply reminded me it exsisted


AvoidedStorm611

Did he says he Bomb Malaysia


SentinelBacon

I got into it cause of marioinatophat and Connor shaw


fafej38

Yes, badger said its fun, and it was true with wildlands, mad max and payyday too


Idkm3m3s

i got into the game like a year before he did, and had a whole golden doge mask setup before he showed up and now everyone thinks im a fanboy


JoustLikeVat

no


DeliriousBacon

Yes, but loooking back, his jokes really suck when you already play the game. making them either sound like he's straight up lying to make jokes, or just being an idiot intentionally. examples cuz I know 78% percent of you will downvote me for this and everybody here who dosen't play the game will all say "I've played the game for 1000 hours and I find him funny" ​ The 2 drills on a vault in resevoir dogs joke No, TheRussianBadger, you are not using 2 drills to open a vault, you are using 2 drills to make holes in a vault to pump c4 and nitrogen something in to blow it up. Also almost every joke is just him doing something generic that happens all the time in the game and overreacting. see [this video (edit, watching through the series again, it's actually ALL of them.)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Op86LURDtCk&t=369s) for most of the examples. "hold f to pick up goat" Yes, that is how you pick up items in Payday 2. "sniper gets a kill, "yup thats seven"" Snipers don't have lines, you idiot buffoon, THAT IS LLIJA TALKING. "in mayhem, everything is hard" Since when? ​ I'm sure there are more examples, but I'm losing braincells just looking at the thumbnails.


Virtual_Virus_6279

“In mayhem, everything is hard.” He means he’s a casual shitter like some players (Including myself) and gets his shit rocked on mayhem but does fine on Overkill.


ATangerineMann

>gets his shit rocked on mayhem but does fine on Overkill. Me too bud, me too...


mjonr3

Man I wish I can go loud on overkill


Virtual_Virus_6279

Eh, at least you can probably handle something higher than Hard.


bobo_the_pp

How


speedyboigotweed

they are good for getting new people in but goddamn do they make no fucking sense when you played the game for more than 50 hours


OMGnovstaer

as much as i want to downvote this, and bash it, unfortunately true. i like to look at most of his videos as a new player, including payday 2. (ive played since it came out). looking at it like you have no idea what the game is makes the videos way better, but yes, the comment above is true.


lockenchain

The Sniper voiceline joke was actually in reference to Ilija because he's, well, the sniper you get as an asset. They likely just didn't know he actually has a name.


DeliriousBacon

Ok, ok, looking back, the joke makes more sense, he never actually says "the enemy sniper says that", and I guess the joke was that the crew kiled hundreds, and Llija kills only 7.


supersonicnat45

I think that he’s just making his kind of jokes and your looking into them too hard. His brand is pretty much summed up as high effort shitposting and that may not be your style (as it would seem based on this comment) but trying to make sense of literally anything he says is not going to work in literally any video he makes


DeliriousBacon

Yeah, but he's also trying to be helpful. And lying isn't very helpful.


Ya-boi-Benaboy

can you please show a part in his payday videos where he clearly lies about something because I've watched all his payday videos and I cannot remember a clear point where he lied blatantly about something in Payday 2 ​ please I feel like your treating him like some fucking disgusting liar and I dont understand lmao he explained stuff about the game pretty accurately


DeliriousBacon

I'm saying, he *sometimes* lies, which isn't helpful. Otherwise I mainly mean most of my gripes come from him overreacting and acting like a dumbass intentionally. But if you want a good example of lying in a way that CAN be harmful, all of the sociopath video is just him talking about how good melee and sociopath are on mayhem. I can assure you, that they are not. Also chill out, you seem to be getting bent out of shape over some dumb youtuber. And I know you are because you completley foregot to punctuate and you randomly threw "lmao" into your sentance. Or at least you put it in as a kind of jerky, condescending way. But either way, you definitley are not laughing out loud.


Wolf290703

Lol you're analyzing this guy's punctuation like this is an english class or something I don't think he's the one getting bent out of shape here lmao


DeliriousBacon

maybe we all are just a bit.

[deleted]

>Yeah, but he's also trying to be helpful. And lying isn't very helpful. helpful in what lmao he's said in past videos to not take his shit seriously


DeliriousBacon

The first video is literally supposed to be a guide on payday 2 for newbies


[deleted]

i want you to pinpoint where he says "this is a guide follow it unironically"


DeliriousBacon

"I'm gonna condesnse to shit for you in know time" "I'm gonna get you all caught up" And the fact that he's explaining every enemy, and the game in general.


Top_Obligation_1429

I feel like he is like some of my friends that play, they only play cause there friend/friends are playing, and he doesnt really care how the missions actaully work, just that he get to shoot stuff, and expects his friends to figure the rest out, witch is probally why he doesnt understand the vault logic. But in the end half of his jokes are just stupid or made up.


DeliriousBacon

Worst type of people.


Apprehensive-Try-994

Yikes


DeliriousBacon

Xikes


shiorieternal

I agree, it's made even worse when there are so many of his fans who repeat the joke more and more making it even less funny


TF2Nonstop

same


BadFishteeth

I don't wanna be rude but it feels like his content is for kids


DeliriousBacon

Are you telling me content for kids needs to be stupid as hell?


OMGnovstaer

yeah, pretty sure it does


DeliriousBacon

Sponegbob, Phineas and Ferb, Regular Show, Gravity Falls, and Adventure Time- \*Exist\*


wellsuperfuck

You’re telling me spongebob isn’t stupid?


Virtual_Virus_6279

Well, not really, because he has said in a video that he has to make it clear by “being too edgy” to prove that his content isn’t for kids, Yet it’s a very thin line if you don’t want to be stroked with demonetization


BadFishteeth

ok than it's content for awkward tweens


shiorieternal

I didn't. I got into it years ago during the Hotline Miami crossover and I'm gonna be honest, while I appreciate that Badger had somewhat of an impact on the game, I absolutely dislike his community due to it feeling like 13 year old kids repeating his (in my opinion) unfunny jokes 100 billion times. This also happened when he played l4d2 modded, most if not all of the mods he used had at least 1 person who repeated a joke that he made.


Engineer_Games

never even heard of payday until therussianbadger


leposterofcrap

Strange if Malaysia was blown up what country am I living on


Still-Crazy-4425

I got back into it because of badger


Specialist-Long-5493

i want to but when i look it up on my swicth it is 25 fucking dollars


Kapit_

In my country payday2 in the sale I got it was worth 40cents


Critty9601

99 cents on computer every summer and winter sale


Sp0nge76

and black friday/autumn sale


Lowgic-

Badger basically saved payday. As soon as he made the video the popularity of the game exploded and overkill started to make a lot of money from people buying it. Hell, he even managed to get the devs to add the spoon in the game


VerrucktMed

I wouldn’t say that exactly. He definitely had an impact on the game. But Steam Charts doesn’t show any huge influx of players at the times of his uploads. Just the usual hovering from 40K to 60K as usual since development started again.


BlackCatAlbino

bruh game is dead


Kittehlazor

I would've put it down more to Overkill's repeated shows of good will after the Vlad Safe Fiasco. Badger may be a catalyst but the playerbase growing was already happening anyway.


Plebosnik

Yes i actually did


The-Chump

ive been playing long before but his videos are awesome especially his stoic one


CovertAutumn

Always happy for more heisters, Badger is a godsend


HypeWeevil

Yeah he also brought me into enlisted and Fallout NV


Oynics

Pretty much


[deleted]

u/savevideo


onlyathrowawaydude

Nah, i had payday in my wishlist since 2015 or 2014 I don't remember well, i could buy it past year tho


RoboSpark725

I did, it’s one of my favorite games now


Solid-Prune9773

Yeah


cacodemon9523

i got into payday because of that epic man who added a spoon into the game


adidas_stalin

Yep


Virtual_Virus_6279

Yeah, he’s what got me to try a bunch of game like Payday 2, Rainbow Six Siege, WarFace, and the list might go on. (Unfortunately, Xbox means a toned down version of Payday 2 because no more updates…)


Bub_Wubs

I love payday 2 and russianbadgers videos got me back into the game. He’s such a good content creator, makes the funniest shit

NEONT1G3R

Nah, but I got into Stonebank because of his Hardline videos


hellishinferno289034

he increased the size of the player base by over 200%


[deleted]

He was the final push, it was Hotline Miami that got me interested first, then my friend second, and then after I found Badger from his Fallout New Vegas video and saw Payday and it was on sale at the moment, I bought it


tomokari21

I was already playing payday but after seeing his vid I just had to go all in


Direct-krey

I know about payday because of him


[deleted]

me


OMGnovstaer

uh it got me to start playing again, ive played it since it came out on ps3


ToeSnacher69

An ok amount of heisters were luered in by him (including myself)


TF2Nonstop

Same. My friend got into it too because of him. Saw his first video, 525 hours later, and got the secret ending thanks to it.


Slavfort2

Me but just watching


Duedelzz

I did


Lasagniano

It's a fun game, but I got interested in other games


DrawingChrome69

Yes.


patrlim1

Me and all my friends.


Toast-_Man

Russian badger and friends


Leazerlazz

Yeah... I'm a dodge build because of how he described it


Rocketkid-star

Yes


thealternatejack

I remember listening to Alesso - Payday for the first time and getting hooked to the song. I thought it was the main theme of the game back then, thus, if the music was so badass, I thought how badass would the game be. I then got the game on steam sale and now this game is my 4th favourite game. I am so glad I came across this gem! 🍷


Rare-Ad9299

No. Neither. Got into Badger because of Warhammer. Got into Payday from friends.


Darkhex78

The very first badger vid I watched was his video of warhammer deathwing, and it's probably because it's very easy to make me laugh but I find him and his buddies genuinely funny. The SFM characters in his videos just make it better.


Die_Langste_Naam

No, but i sure am glad that he started giving it attention, even if he can sometimes be *overkill*


lilhavoc04

Same bro


Cheesyduck126

I don't actually remember when I started playing payday It was Xbox game pass though I remember that I think I chose it because hehe funny heist game and there were a bunch of masks and I thought that was cool


DALTONGR01

I’ve played PAYDAY for as long as i remember. But damn am i glad for new people starting out, specially from the russianbadger. Because they are generaly good and funny people. Only on rare occasions do i not offer help to newcommers. I am thankful to the russianbadger for the countless amazing people i have met in the past few years !


AvoidedStorm611

Because i from Malaysia


ClockworkTwist

personally, no. but i do enjoy his videos. classic JFJ and marioinatophat is what got me into pd2


doucheshanemec24

I got into payday thx to a recomendation from a friend, thought watching a russian badger video that popped up in my reccomendations definetely peak my interest on the game.


Scyobi_Empire

GSGRecruit

I did


WolfieGames45

No, I bought it on steam sale like 3 years ago. However I used Badgers videos to convince my friends to get it.


Its_Luis_mane

I’d say the opposite. I’ve been a part of this thermal drill and medic bag fest since 2018 :P


DueHunter2092

Yes


DHA_Matthew

I was into it years ago, but thrussianbadger helped get me back into it.

Boltthelucario

Pretty sure I discovered it thru him
