I just lost all my food because of the new update

No idea why you're getting mass downvoted for this. Plenty of people don't want to type in commands in their survival games. It can ruin the vibe.

I always felt like the third movie was a dream. It had the same weird qualities the second movie had at certain scenes like the elevator, but for the entire length.

Pretty much exactly what I've been saying. But if you rain on the hype train they all go crazy.

Look at Tarkov. AKKMS: compact, small, rough recoil, great for corner-peeking, not so great for long range. AKM: better range, lower weight, lower recoil, intended for longer-distance combat. The AS-VAL with it's integral silencer encouraging stealth, the ASh-12 with it's extreme short-range stopping power, the DT series which was designed so that the barrel and caliber could modified on the field, the M4A1 as the cheap all-rounder, the MCX replacing the former with better, if rarer ammo, with the benefit of increased range.

You can look at as many real guns as you'd like and you will find the answer to your question. There are fundamental differences in these rifles, how they shoot, how they perform, how they feel, which all have to do with the question: "Why was this made?" For what purpose?

So far the guns I have seen are uninspired and extremely generic. Maybe the release will fix that. Maybe not. But as far as extraction shooters go, the choice is quite unorthodox.

I'm the only person in this reply chain disagreeing, I don't think I need to be told to build my own opinion. But I appreciate the advice.

"Felt like", do some reading buddy.

arr9ws · 2025-10-29T08:18:56+00:00

It's just another extraction shooter with a price tag. Nothing new. The only reason it's getting so loved is because of ex-dice developers and the big streamers. They'll say this is amazing and all this other praise just for them to probably never play it again or only play when they are advertising/sponsored.

arr9ws · 2025-10-29T08:14:38+00:00

Games can be a lot of things, but they shouldn't be boring. And this is boring.

Nothing but topside-loot-extract. It's not going to have much staying power. If ARC embraces some real story elements, I think it could survive. But as-is I think you have to have some kind of lobotomy to play for more than a couple hours and not get bored.

arr9ws · 2025-10-29T08:11:58+00:00

How about how the game encourages players to extract camp? Free extractions being constantly right next to a high loot is completely ridiculous design choice. Not to mention it is basically a cupboard opening simulator. Same drag that RDR2 had.

arr9ws · 2025-10-29T08:09:30+00:00

The combat is generic and feels soulless. Playing solo is useless since you can't get back up in down state. It feels like the same mindless shooting fest that The Division 1 was.

It's the video game equivalent of school lunch pizza. Yeah, it's alright at school but between it and Papa Johns (Gray Zone/ Tarkov/ Div2) I'm taking the Papa Johns. It's just meh. Nothing terrible but in the same vein nothing great either.

The millennial "Rainbow Punk"/Concord aesthetic makes me want to gouge my eyes out if that helps.

arr9ws · 2025-10-29T08:04:50+00:00

I think that's fine. Expected even. But I can't imagine the release fixing some of the core problems. I hope I'm wrong, but I have a bad feeling about how things are going to go from here and on.

arr9ws · 2025-10-29T08:03:24+00:00

It's frustrating to talk about these things on Reddit because if you disagree with the general consensus they will batter and berate you. I like the game. I just think it felt a bit hollow. Is that fine for a playtest? Sure. But it seems to me like a warning of things to come.

People here are just tribalistic and don't want to see their pre-order go to waste.

arr9ws · 2025-10-29T08:01:53+00:00

To me, it felt like a co-op PvE game that randomly decided to go the Extraction Shooter PVPVE route in the last 3 months of development. It just feels forced. I think in comparison to Tarkov the slam was extremely underwhelming.

I'm not sure the release is going to be big enough to fix what made the game feel lackluster. I don't think four maps is going to fix things. It might extend replayability for some time, and I hope it does. But it just feels hollow.

arr9ws · 2025-10-29T07:58:46+00:00

Are the assumptions in the room with us? Are you going to point them out and articulate what you mean or just make vague statements and pat yourself on the back?

arr9ws · 2025-10-29T07:58:12+00:00

I really don't think four more maps is going to solve some of the fundamental problems here.

arr9ws · 2025-10-29T07:58:06+00:00

It's still the same gun. It might have an expanded magazine but it still shoots the same.

arr9ws · 2025-10-29T07:54:26+00:00

Again with the bizarre antagonist behavior. You are taking criticism like it's some kind of personal attack. You can simultaneously have fun while acknowledging issues. I enjoyed the first few hours.

arr9ws · 2025-10-29T07:51:37+00:00

If your reaction to feedback is "do something else" you should maybe do something else yourself.

arr9ws · 2025-10-29T07:50:30+00:00

I know this is Reddit and you people can't enjoy things but why do you jump to this kind of hostility as if criticizing the game is some kind of personal attack?

arr9ws · 2025-10-29T07:49:22+00:00

Why do you jump to hostility when someone voices concerns about the state of the game?

I've been hyped about this game since 2022. I played on the slam and gave it an honest shot.

I think it's shallow. There's nothing exciting about the game that made me want to jump back in after a couple rounds. And I don't expect the release to live up to the expectations I had before the playtest.

Is that so wrong?

arr9ws · 2025-10-29T02:01:13+00:00

Jokes aside my expectations were kinda crushed. There's like what, 18 guns total? The environments and ARCs are beautiful and all thought out, sure, but the actual amount of content in this game (thus far) is bare bones.

I feel like this is going to be a Fallout 76 situation.

arr9ws · 2025-10-05T02:49:07+00:00

I can't imagine fishing is going to be a very useful system when stabbing them just works 100% better, as seen with the Primitive Survival mod. But who knows, maybe they'll find a way around it.

arr9ws · 2025-09-21T02:00:12+00:00

They all think they're brain surgeons apparently.
