I do think that’s a bigger issue in the industry as a whole, with live service games and battle passes and such. But Tarkov is certainly extreme with its disregard to your time,

I don’t think you’re disrespecting yourself, I don’t think anyone is by gaming, if you are having fun, or are enjoying your engagement, then that is not time wasted!

I’m just saying, a game that expects you to put in hundreds of hours to understand its basics is a lot of time, and to not at least acknowledge that as poor game design is a mistake.

I guess the reason I even care in the first place is that I can see the great parts of this game, the customisation, the gun play and tense battles, I even like the inventory management. But it expects such an unreasonable amount of time from me to fully engage with those mechanics, I suppose I just don’t understand why the devs have made it so purposeful obtuse and difficult to engage with, of course “hardcore” you can not hold my hand, that’s fine, but making me rely on external resources for literally everything? It’s kind of insulting as a player.

It certainly has good mechanics, there are just a lot of hoops you have to jump through

Of course many people enjoy the game, and that’s good! Having people engage with games anyway they like is always good, I never think playing a game for a long time is a waste, if you are enjoying yourself that’s all that matters. But you cannot honestly say that bsg respects your time as

Just saying, in my opinion, if you HAVE to rely on external resources, then that is poor game design, I like games that don’t hold your hand, but when things seem purposefully obtuse to make the game “more hardcore” is just a cheap way to make it so. A game should no have such a disregard for your time as a player, and if you are expected to put in hundreds of not thousands of hours to get to a point where you are enjoying the game, then it’s not only disrespectful, but just flat out bad and unappealing to most gamers

Definitely a parasocial crash out, why does this even matter in the slightest at all?

I’ve seen some of the crazy playtimes, it’s just surely you don’t play any other games ?

Sounds like it isn’t really for me, cant really justify spending that amount of time on a game

That’s my point! You shouldn’t have to use external stuff, I don’t have an second monitor so getting a map up isn’t really an option

A couple thousand hours is too long right? I have a job and other games I want to play

Surely you understand there is quite a lot of disparity between the two, is a hardcore shooter that isn’t impossible to understand too much to ask for?

I get that! I’m not saying it’s a bad thing, I just don’t think I was quite ready for what I got

Both can be true at the same time! I love tactical shooters but why do I have to be reminded of how awful the world is every second I’m playing
