See you all in Payday 3! Or tonight if you want... I'll be live-streaming my final Trophies and Achievements (including Robbedacop) in Payday 2 when this video goes live! www.twitch.tv/kknowley
While I understand making a 10 minute version since not everyone has time to watch 4 hours of lore , I still can't believe how good it was , it felt like a movie
For anyone seeing this, if you got here from the yt recommendations, if you were at all intrigued, I HIGHLY recommend giving Kknowley's complete story of Payday a watch/listen. I know 4 hours can seem daunting, but it's 110% worth it

Finally it makes sense and it's also short. Thank you so much for condensing the beautifully contrived and convoluted story of payday in to a manageable bite.
I loved the development of the story from common rober to battling with immortal kings and the history of men. And all the small Easter eggs you could see around the world, was just perfect. And I hope they to the same thing with payday 3 humble beginnings and in the end we kick some nephalim butt. That is in my opinion the real identity of payday. It's not just a heisting game anymore. It grew bigger than itself.
As someone who had bought Payday 2 a few years ago, played it for few hours and never touched it again because I was afraid I would never catch up to everyone, its nice to know how it all started. See you all in Payday 3!
Man, the Kento and Jiro plotline really was an afterthought towards the end huh? It's certainly an interesting journey, but I hope Payday 3 keeps it simple
10 minutes, and such an amazing 10 minutes, of lore. Payday lore is so amazing and it's great to see such an enjoyable video to watch. Hopefully Payday 3 will have such amazing lore to help continue the story of Payday, even if it won't continue it directly.
wow that was very well put together. Thank you for the summary of the story. I'm definitely gonna go check out that four hour video of yours, as well as the other story ones, now! I might as well, since I can't play Payday 3, anyway!
I’m here after playing payday 3 for a while, now doing the chapter 3 DLC heist. A very great game! I wanted to learn about their intriguing story. All I can say is woww. Is there a movie about it?
I love how we went from regular grounded heists and robbery to all this weird ancient occultism, and got a presidential pardon for the whole gang leading to a happy beach vacation ending.. Just to go back to heisting banks and jewelry stores again in Payday 3.. I’m just wondering how they’re going to tie all this back together, if at all in the new game. So far the lore and cutscenes aren’t really that great or deep so I guess we’ll see how things turn out.
Imagine making a cool cops and robbers game, only to be so creativily stifled for a storyline that you had to make it about aliens. Imagine adding meth production, then adding aliens. 🤣 Sounds like the devs legitimately had no idea how to end this game, or where it was going.
At certain point i like the so-called lore for the payday, then suddenly isekai harry potter cthulhu stuff happen. I just want some criminal heist stuff not some weird gun-n-magic mix with vodooo doll
i still don't fully trust that payday 3 will use this ending as the stepping stone for it's story. the recent story video didn't make it clear either way.
Ah Payday 2 The game that really went from: -Steal money, yay :D! to -Solve ancient alien riddles to take over the president's body, yay :D! (and it almost went to "Kill god, yay :D!" if it wasn't for the Diesel engine lmao)

I’m even more maneuverable in payday 3!

While I understand making a 10 minute version since not everyone has time to watch 4 hours of lore , I still can't believe how good it was , it felt like a movie
I had it open on a second monitor and stopped whatever I was doing on the main one because the story kept getting better and better.
I have like five times already
i watch it while doing stuff irl sometimes at least when i watched it originally
It does feel like a very well done One-man-podcast

The fact that you took a 5 hour+ series and crunched it into 9 minutes is incredible! Keep up the great work!

Doesn't that mean he just stretched 10 minutes of information in the 5 hours??

payday 2 lore: literally the length of the entire bible

@@Toby_Kat Oh yeah hardly was supposed to be highly, brainfart :d
nah it seems too long
I loved watching the 4 hour version for myself, but I'll definitely be showing my friend this one to get him ready for PD3!
iirc pd3 is more like a retcon since it wouldnt make sense for the gang to return

sup we have the same profile pic
this aged well
I have no idea how you've managed to shorten an extensive story such as Payday into a short 10 minute video.
mad respect
As someone who had bought Payday 2 a few years ago, played it for few hours and never touched it again because I was afraid I would never catch up to everyone, its nice to know how it all started. See you all in Payday 3!
Man, the Kento and Jiro plotline really was an afterthought towards the end huh?
It's certainly an interesting journey, but I hope Payday 3 keeps it simple
Thank you for this, it was incredible! I stopped playing at Big Bank so this recap of the entire story was much needed for PD3
Cannot wait for tomorrow. Thank you Knowley for your coverage of Payday 2 and the upcoming era that we will all experience together. Cheers 🥂
I enjoyed your payday story series so much, this is a good Way to Cut it short for those who dont have the patience for the series
10 minutes, and such an amazing 10 minutes, of lore. Payday lore is so amazing and it's great to see such an enjoyable video to watch.
Hopefully Payday 3 will have such amazing lore to help continue the story of Payday, even if it won't continue it directly.
Wow, what an amazing video! Honestly hit all of the necessary points for the payday story, great job
wow that was very well put together. Thank you for the summary of the story. I'm definitely gonna go check out that four hour video of yours, as well as the other story ones, now!
I might as well, since I can't play Payday 3, anyway!
How you explain it so well in less than 10 minutes. Amazing video!
Oh, so NOW the short version drops after I spend almost 6 hours watching the long one. Just my luck. (I very much enjoyed every video, good work)
This vid is absolute fire
Quite the time save on this speedrun!
Good show, enjoy ya new PB
This format is way better to show my friend the story of PAYDAY2 in order to prepare him for PAYDAY3
I love your work with the Payday lore, and this video is a gem. Hope it will lure more players into the game! Time to make some money 💰
Bro you did a great job with this video, i love it
Neat, I didn’t realize Payday had a movie quality production
I never expected payday to go total alien sci fi
Been watching your videos recently, absolutely fire content. Keep at it man!
Waiting for b33croft to make '"Story of Payday 2 under 60 seconds."
What the fuck? Why? Why does a heist game have such a wild lore?
Keep up the good quality videos :D
That ending was fire
I listen to the 4 hour version while doing homework tbh-
shit was masterfully done good stuff man
Bro thanks for this vid as i was soo confused at the lore
Ok now do it under 5 minutes. 1 minute. 30 seconds! Keep chasing that PR!
Ffs I thought this was a simple heist game 🤣
Wonderful Video, as always
I want an updated full payday lore video when payday 3 releases! PLEEEASE!
i just finished watching the 4 hour one from 2 years ago... wish i saw this earlier.
I’m here after playing payday 3 for a while, now doing the chapter 3 DLC heist. A very great game! I wanted to learn about their intriguing story. All I can say is woww. Is there a movie about it?
Dawg just made a movie 😭😭😭
Payday 2 story% *WORLD RECORD*
This was awesome… ty
i like the longer vid better but ill watch this too
oh yes papi, now make video comparing payday characters from the heist to pd3 tmrw, gna be epic, keep popping those helmets kknowley
I just watched the "The complete story of Payday" LOL
it'd be really funny if you just got the 4 hour video you made and just put it on 2x speed lmao-
great video as always tho :D
Now you need to do the Payday Story in under 10 seconds
"ALRIGHT BOYS WERE STEALING EVERYTHING" *punches the dentists and Bane does the griddy on his corpse*
@@kibordplays6109I need to see this as a Easter egg PLEASE
This sounds like a retelling of the pervios movie in a sequel or a teltale chapter we are only missing last time on payday
Payday 2 will be missed. I’ve spent hours enjoying this game. Let’s hope payday 3 is twice as good as payday 2
It’s great since I’m playing it for free on gampass and I’m sure they will add hella updates
The crimes of the Payday gang will come back for them. After all, there is no rest for the wicked.
Well this saves a lot of time
Now that we have the abridged version, when are we getting the Payday Lore Directors Cut?
Oh lord, the 6 hour monstrosity
This would’ve been nice 4 hours ago
We all know it was about the Tiara all along
I love how we went from regular grounded heists and robbery to all this weird ancient occultism, and got a presidential pardon for the whole gang leading to a happy beach vacation ending..

there's motherfucking ALIENS in Payday? lmfao. I stopped playing PD2 around 2-3 years post-launch. this shit is bonkers
I feel like I need an even shorter and in the nutshell explanation of this video
That’s deep bro
from 4 hours to ten mins. That takes skill.
I was not expecting John Wick to appear in the video
I would like the 6 hour version🤣🤣
Even though the payday crew is assumed dead will we not get a reaction from everyone when they find out they aren't dead?
Great summery. just before Payday 3
well done
Can we complete the whole payday 2 lore in under 10 minutes? (Challenge)
Sending this to my friends. I need to get them into the conspiracy.
Does the Payday 3 early access drop at 12am or do we have to wait till a set time tomorrow?
im not a corny kinda guy but wtf this gave me chillss
I'm so excited to see more stealth heists, I also want more solo heists
Amazing
right after i finish watching your entire 4 hour video you post this...
Goddamn, well now i can continure onto 3 after not knowing the plot of payday at all until now.
Nice vid!

Reject Shade, Embrace Bain-ette
I hope payday 3 can get to this point in storytelling 😢
In new york this is crazy. In gotham it's just tuesday
put into 2x mode for extra fast viewing
Goodbye PD2🚯
Welcome PAYDAY3 ✨🎇
At certain point i like the so-called lore for the payday, then suddenly isekai harry potter cthulhu stuff happen. I just want some criminal heist stuff not some weird gun-n-magic mix with vodooo doll
How tf do a bunch of robbers go frim convenience stores to immortal alien tablets?!
Why is this not a TV show, instead of a game with some live action cut scenes and Web series
surpise there is no livestream for launch day...😢guess ill watch someone else maybe have something on thursday
great video but man... i hope payday 3 doesn't have any of this, it's so stupid haha
dope
There was all this lore and all I was doing was robbing banks and stealing goats WTF
Does payday 3 have all this alien bs or can I just rob banks 😂
Aliens!?
i still don't fully trust that payday 3 will use this ending as the stepping stone for it's story. the recent story video didn't make it clear either way.
its a partial retcon
All typical stuff here:
Crime syndicates pulling off heists, toppling political figures, taking down an immortal alien cult... wait what?
Ah Payday 2
The game that really went from:
-Steal money, yay :D!
to
-Solve ancient alien riddles to take over the president's body, yay :D!
(and it almost went to "Kill god, yay :D!" if it wasn't for the Diesel engine lmao)
Basically they rbo benkz
here bfore 1k views
What the fuck?? I almost can’t take this seriously. Had no clue payday had this crazy elaborate deities and shit!
They were rich, now they're poor. The end.
would’ve been nice if this video was uploaded 4 hours ago…
hello
