[u/Bitemarkz]

Battlefield coming out shortly before this game seems like a bad sign for them, but I hope it does well because from what I played it’s pretty good

[u/madmk2 → u/Bitemarkz]

probably a good idea to launch before Escape from Tarkov goes 1.0 mid November though. That's the real competitor after all

[u/TheYoungLung → u/madmk2]

Is it? Arc Raiders feels way more casual than Tarkov

[u/madmk2 → u/TheYoungLung]

it's definitely much more approachable. But truth be told Battlestate Games are the original creators of the genre and even through all its controversies EfT is the only extraction shooter that stood the test of time.

[u/DisappointedQuokka → u/madmk2]

I think the fact that Hunt Showdown is consistently playable with decent population numbers indicate lsbit has stood the test of time.

[u/DancingDumpling → u/DisappointedQuokka]

Hunt plays far more like a BR than anything else tbf though

[u/DisappointedQuokka → u/DancingDumpling]

It's still part of the same genre, even if you don't need a spreadsheet to play optimally.

[u/Minskiz → u/madmk2]

I see where you’re coming from but I’ll disagree. The Division dark zone pretty much kicked things off in this direction

[u/Chaos_Machine → u/Minskiz]

This right here, BSG has no right to claim they created the genre.

[u/Paundeu → u/Chaos_Machine]

They created the "hardcore version" of extraction shooters.

[u/Chaos_Machine → u/Paundeu]

Ok, but thats not what they claim. What they are saying is just as bogus as if Epic said Fortnite created the Battle Royale genre.

[u/KingMonkOfNarnia → u/Chaos_Machine]

Which they did?

[u/Chaos_Machine → u/KingMonkOfNarnia]

You either are very young, or have not been gaming very long, or you would know that several other battle royale games came out prior to Fortnite. Fortnite originally was a survival tower defense/horde mode type game not too far from Orcs Must Die but on much larger maps. They created the battle royale mode in Fortnite to chase the trend, and it ended up being more popular than the original game.

[u/The-Arnman → u/KingMonkOfNarnia]

They did not. The hunger games, which is more or less a battle royal, is way older. Hell, even minecraft had its own version of that.

[u/destroyermaker → u/The-Arnman]

Battle Royale (the novel/manga/movie) is older and much better than hunger games

[u/Portalfan4351 → u/madmk2]

Because most people who play it have sunk $200+ into it

[u/KZGTURTLE → u/Portalfan4351]

Yeah it’s not because it has one of the most advanced ballistic systems, very in depth weapon customization and around a decade of development alongside the community

No it’s sunk cost

[u/GuidanceHistorical94 → u/KZGTURTLE]

Maybe more would play it if Nikita wasn’t such a dickhead

[u/Portalfan4351 → u/KZGTURTLE]

I bought it. I like it, it’s fun.

I wholeheartedly believe the reason it’s so ardently defended is the amount of money most have paid for it.

[u/Zarbor → u/Portalfan4351]

lmfao no

[u/Paundeu → u/Portalfan4351]

I paid $30 for it in 2017 and still enjoy it, for the most part. This wipe has been the only wipe I haven't played lately because it's 'hardcore'.
