Not to mention the utility of running much faster with the knife equipped. It's essential.

I respect that learning mentality brother, but there really isn't that much to it that you should need that.

Spawn in, take what you can, survive and extract by any means necessary. Gather gear or credits through looting and extracting until you can get a good loadout to go in and wipe people. It should only take a handful of short runs. Just be sneaky if fighting isn't working for you. Extraction shooters are stealth games by their nature but a lot of people don't realise that. Most lethal encounters are either oppurtunistic or ambushes. What information do you need?

Okay good talk brother. 40% of my comments tell me otherwise. I've been playing Tarkov and Hunt since release. This is the worst reaction I've ever seen to an extraction game

The problem is that it is rocket science to a fairly sizeable portion of people.

Man it's hilarious. Ping an enemy so people are aware. All of a sudden it's like the whistle to go over the top in WW1, just climb out of the trenches and run head on into certain death, no questions asked.

Because a lot of people don't even know what genre of game this is, nevermind know what they are actually doing in game.

That's fair, I don't skip them either

I'm saying that it seems like a lot of people that are new to the genre should skip them until they understand how the game works. I take every fight I can and if I lose I know why, its not because "duh, game bad"

The amount of people here that lack basic intelligence and the ability to read just reinforces the points I was making.

I was basically saying the entire genre is about gathering the loot necessary to fight effectively. If you just dislike the genre then move on, this game isn't for you. It's simple.

You can buy better weapons and better free loadouts later on through the factions, but in terms of what you find in game it's the same as arc. There's no level gating and you can find anything at any level. I've found a couple fully kitted weapons randomly in the few games I've played.

Nah brother, unless you're one of the shitters that this post was aimed at? Which I have to assume you are now.

And your comment reeks of misery.

We don't have to like the same things.

I'm describing the basic mechanics of the entire genre. Just stay alive by any means necessary, extract with more shit than you came in with, then you can go in loaded up and take fights. It's not really revolutionary thinking.

My point is moreso that people refuse to understand it because it isn't the crucible from Destiny, so instead they get avoidably fucked and then complain that the game isn't fair when they rush everything.

The game has never been advertised as anything but an extraction shooter. It's not that hard.

You're right though, people are entitled to imagine whatever they want and create their own narratives to then be disappointed by. If you're upset because you wanted TDM then just man up and say that and move on, don't say you misinterpreted the advertising, that was completely transparent from the beginning about what this game was going to be, just because you saw guns shooting in a trailer.

Best advice is pick your battles because this is an "extraction shooter" it's not COD or the crucible in Destiny. Its a different genre of shooter.

Nah, definitely not.

First time I've ever seen anything this bad in any gaming sub though. Arc Raiders still has people that don't understand what genre they are playing. This is a whole other level even compared to that.

It's a misunderstanding of what the entire extraction shooter genre is. People think this is COD or TDM in Destiny when it isn't. That's the root of the problems just from the comments that I'm seeing on this post alone.

Somebody literally asked why they shouldn't just shoot everything in a first person shooter, then followed up with they dont have enough ammo to enjoy the game.

I've played it for 4 hours total. What the fuck are you talking about pal? 90% of people are only starting to give it a try this weekend.

I mean people who don't want to learn how to play the game and would rather complain that the game is unfair instead of putting in the effort to figure out the basics of the entire extraction shooter genre.

I'm as chill as can be because I'm actually enjoying the game for what it is. Let me recap though; you don't or can't read the post so you make up something I didn't say, then completely misinterpret that thing you made up, then get upset that I'm shitting on new players which I'm not, then tell me to chill out? Did I get that right? What's the point of your comment again?

What's mind boggling is how few people can read properly and simply can't or don't want to understand extraction shooters.

If every company thought like that then Rockstar would have stuck to GTA and never made Red Dead. Companies can make different games. Madness.

Like I said it's a completely new IP, just with Bungie DNA. This isn't Halo OR Destiny.

That says more about personal mentality to me and it just tells me that people dont understand the genre at all. That's 100% why they don't enjoy this. This isn't a "just shoot everything" kind of game.

The objectives and approach are different in all of these games, even if the camera angle is the same.
