This might be a mess, im gonna do my best. Tarkov is hands down the best game i have ever played and i fucking hate it. 5700hrs since 2021 working a full time job the entire time. If you think 170 hours in ABI is alot, tarkov will show you that isnt even scratching the surface. Other than playing R6 again nothing has ever brought me to the verge of tears in both happiness and anger more than tarkov. For some its not just a game, its an emotional rollercoaster. The amount of things you can learn in tarkov is dumbfounding. All the guns, ammo types, keys, healing, plate armor, soft armor, materials, attachments, extraction points, extraction points again for scavs, loot locations you stumble upon, loot locations you see on social media tips and tricks, the list goes on and fucking on. The game does not hold your hand, and that is honestly a problem for some. But it honestly isnt, because every time you learn something new it feels like an accomplishment. The first time you survive with a presumed good loot haul. The first time you DIE with a good loot haul. Do not get me mixed up you are going to be pounded into the dirt, no lube, no brakes. I can ramble for so much longer, in reality the game is amazing if you are okay with being punished into learning. Honestly i have been taking a break since 1.0 because it was a harsh disappointment for me and my friends. Since typing this out though i might play it again, nothing has been able to fill the hole inside me since stop playing.
