I got out of the cycle when I finally realized how many cheaters there are. Worthless to play an extraction shooter under those circumstances. www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5LfGcDB7Ek
The problem is that there is no alternative. Every other game fails to give me the dopamine rush that tarkov can. So I probably won’t escape anytime soon, even if it means spending thousands more hours dying to blatant cheaters.
I too still crave a game that gives the same rush Tarkov used to. But cheaters, poor servers, bad match times and just plain annoying design decisions aren’t worth hoping on every wipe. I actually had a good time with single player for a while, and I might try some more when it updates to the next major patch
BG3 with my GF. After almost 200h we are closing the wrapping out first play through.
Alone I recently started Nier Replicant after having played Automata last year. Different feel to it and the quests are fairly basic atm (go here, do that) but I owe it to the developers to play it.
How has the coop experience been? We have been thinking about buying it and play it together too. Just gotta figure out the best setup for us first. Thinking about streaming the game from my PC to our Nvidia Shield Pro, then have two PS5 Controllers connected to the TV.
Would be interested in hearing about what setup you went for :-)
We play it on my pc which is wired directly to the tv. We use 2 XBOX controllers but PS4 ones will work just as well.
You will probably want to have a pretty big screen because it’s almost always split screen (except in some dialogues if that other player listens to the convo). However you can always set the fonts to a bigger size which is super helpful.
Unfortunately it’s not like DOS 2 where the split screen merges when you are close together but that’s not the end of the world. The game has turn based combat so even if you have some streaming delays it’s not a big deal.
Your frame rate will drop a bit on Act 3 but it gets better with every patch.
I remember how ocarina of time blew my mind how big and open the world was. Seemed like I could play the game forever with the massive open world.
The game feels so hilariously small now. I’ve never gotten past the first ancient beast in botw because I just run around climbing stuff. I need to commit to finishing that game.
Every time I go to try it. “Tf do all these words mean?” I have no idea what is going on. I need to sit down with a guide or something. But got distracted by ESO and was able to dive in immediately so I guess it’ll be 20 years before I repeat the process.
There’s a steep learning curve as far as the basics go, but once you level up a frame, a couple decent weapons and some basic Mods (stat-up accessories), it might get you for good. I played if for years and it was pretty fun.
One of the big stumbling blocks is that level up by itself doesn’t do anything but open up slots for Mods, it doesn’t increase your stats. You need good mods and to rank them up to actually get stronger.
