‘Escape From Tarkov’ Fans Are Outraged At New $250 Pay-To-Win Edition - sh.itjust.works

An entire mode locked behind a $100-250 paywall? I'm so glad I never got in to the game. I was close.

It is still a pretty great game. I only ever played with the cheapest standard edition and had no problems.

I still do have some regrets about who I have given my money to, but there is no other game quite like it and a lot of industry giants and indies have tried (and are still trying) to emulate it without success.

lot of industry giants and indies have tried

No they haven't.

It's not a hard formula.

Instanced maps,
loot,
use loot to upgrade outside of instance in a way that helps your next playthough,
Player has experience points and leveling of skills,

No other game does this, and any industry giants that claim to have tried have missed 1 of the 4 core elements.

It amazes me that people don't notice this is the exact same formula for roguelikes.
It is, but just because two games follow the same formula for their gameplay loop doesn’t mean they will be equally good. There are a LOT of other factors.
Yep. Like easily pleased idiots like you.

I’m not sure why you’re attacking me, especially when I’m the one saying it’s hard to bring a “formula” together into an excellent game.

Surely if I was easily pleased I would just love any attempt at an extraction shooter?

You should work on that reading comprehension.
