    the terrorists terrorized so hard they changed the art style of the world
  • @SnivTen
    It goes even deeper than CS and L4D, because there are references to Half Life and Team Fortress 2 in L4D. EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED!!!
  • @gimok2k5
    As a sidenote: While Payday 2 fully re-canonised the No Mercy Heist for Payday, they also DE-canonised its Left4Dead connection by chaning the year and city for the heist (Change from 2009 in Fairfield to 2012 in New York), and both Overkill and Valve both stated that the heist was never canon for L4D and more of a "what if" scenario.
  • @AnnoyD
    I like to imagine 4 of the survivors from either left for dead stumble upon 10 guys fighting each other over a brick of c4 in the middle of a zombie apocalypse.
  • @DrewzRule
    The reason No Mercy is now canon in the Payday universe is because Bain wanted a book called The Guide of Cagliostro from a guy who wanted the patient's infected blood as payment. The green flu in Payday doesn't turn people into zombies since Bain himself is infected by it but doesn't turn. So, in short, they turned No Mercy from a noncanon fun crossover to a pivotal and crucial part in the Payday story
  • @2bDoubleB
    I like how Ellis is the only Pug in the group lmao fits him so well. Also I like to think these games are connected it feels more real and morbid that way.
  • @theidiotic_one
    the fact that Bain also says "sorry guys but you're left for dead" when you get the "non canon" ending
  • @thisiskret
    For the ties of Payday and L4D, it makes more sense to believe that before 2009, the Payday(:The Heist) gang stole the green flu and then caused the events of Left 4 Dead. Later in Payday 2's lore, the main contractor Bain dies from it. But I do believe that the two universes are still seperated, because Payday 3 takes place in present-day New York, with no zombies or outbreaks
  • @amydoesart3724
    Also Something kinda funny is that on HL2's canceled expansion there would be zombie type that does not need a headcrab to spread, thing that let me thinking "what sounds... Familiar" when i heared
  • @CombatCats
    Both really good games and also makes it better with some silly kitties
  • @Paplock
    This is simply Valve Universe. Everything is connected. Especially a lot of references to Half-Life EDIT: Thanks for 1 thousand likes. I didn't expect that
  • @thescrub7682
    Someone said every valve game os fictional in each game, meaning scout can play l4d, Louis can play CS, a counter-terrorist can play half-life, and so on so forth. I'd like to believe that payday is directly connected due to the bridge rescue mission also mentioning the green flu.
  • @gromblereal
    L4D and Payday go a lot deeper too, it’s connected to Half Life and TF2 as well because in the stock ticker on the big bank level you can see a lot of BLU and RED owned companies, Mercy Hospital, White Mesa, Mann Co, and Freeman Airboat Tours.
  • @49Dillbert
    Goldec definitely walks around with a candle at night
  • @thejustlexa
    it genuinely took like halfway through the video to realise that you were showing your face cause im so used to the silly cats and dogs that i literally like blocked you as a human out of my mind and it just didnt register for like 6 minutes
  • @UnfathomablyRR
    The Little Big Planet 1 soundtrack selection hasn't gone unnoticed. @Goldec
