Too bad their fan base is actively review bombing it on metacritic haha. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5842989&forum_id=2\u0026show=posted#49725616) |

Date: March 8th, 2026 1:52 PM Author: vigorous school national security agency Why doesn’t someone just do a violent badass hero shooter where you play as hellish demons on one side and jacked gears of war soldiers on the other? Absorb the Scumfuck anti woke audience…. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5842989&forum_id=2\u0026show=posted#49726059) |

Date: March 8th, 2026 1:57 PM Author: Pontificating stirring range The art direction on this is very promising and probably one of the freshest sets of visual ideas on the market right now but Bungo has been fairly hollowed out as a studio, most of the old Halo guys that made that a multimedia gem were ousted or went off to other studios, and their monetization schemes are super jewy and irritating to deal with The other issue I've heard is some confusion in their design choices and it seems like they're stuck between aping either Fortnite/Arc Raiders/Tarkov rather than clearing the slate and trying to make a more novel riff on the extraction shooter genre Low baseline round investment (resource-wise)/low OR relatively high Halo ttk/high speed Quake-esque movement would probably be a winning combination. No other extraction shooter has a real movement game and most of them are afaik positioning shooters (Tarkov especially) |

im not trying to play tetris w guns and collect 500 baubles |

Date: March 8th, 2026 2:23 PM Author: Pontificating stirring range I think that's addressed in Marathon; the loot pools are smaller and there isn't the item bloat issue that Tarkov or that other Russian or Polish one have Supposedly Arc Raiders also handled that as well and from what I understand the medium tier gear you can just buy is competitive enough to take on high tier gear too |

Date: March 8th, 2026 2:30 PM Author: chestnut zippy son of senegal trust fund Arc Raiders inventory management is tedious as fuck imo. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5842989&forum_id=2\u0026show=posted#49726127) |
|
Date: March 8th, 2026 2:44 PM Author: Pontificating stirring range Why? Bad interface? Lots of junk items? Bloated looting/interaction times? I haven't played it myself, I just know a bit about it from discussion The development on it is dead, another EA failure, but "Marauders" was looking like it could've been something |
|
Date: March 8th, 2026 2:04 PM Author: Pontificating stirring range Which Tarkov? I've only played a few hours of it and Arc Raiders is too Reddit-y for me, though it is undeniably popular and probably in possession of at least a couple sublime facets Extraction shooters have a set of pretty good ideas driving them, persistent resource pools, having to manage brought resources in intermediate length rounds, high risk/reward sessions, interesting player interactions brought about by game systems and map design, forcing players to make difficult calls w/r/t opportunity costs, et al I enjoyed one of the earliest incidences of this genre, a Tom Clancy game called "The Division" had a very novel at the time extraction game mode called "Dark Zone" or "Grey Zone" or something and it's evolved quite a bit since then |

Date: March 8th, 2026 2:13 PM Author: Pontificating stirring range There's not really as much skill involved in that and it's why deathmatch oriented type shooters have been falling off for a while. CSGO deathmatch or games like Insurgency or Verdun are still there for that niche Sounds like an industry mag meme but extraction shooters are "thinking man's shooters", at least in theory. In execution Tarkov reaches that sometimes but is also riddled with shitty crabby play styles that can really ruin the flow of a match and way too much random slavjank systemslop packed in like an overfilled tin of borscht Having one with speedy skill based movement and asymmetrical class based movement options would help break the monotony of dealing with campers and extremely dull "spot and click the one pixel on the treeline before you die in one shot" common gameplay scenarios inimical to the genre (battle royale games have that issue as well) |

Date: March 8th, 2026 2:25 PM Author: Pontificating stirring range Very good and funny times to be had by completely fucking up the team strategy in a CSGO comp match, getting everyone on your team killed while they shriek about it, and then still winning the round solo anyway based off of your superior fundamentals (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5842989&forum_id=2\u0026show=posted#49726116) |

Date: March 8th, 2026 3:13 PM Author: costumed patrolman boiling water They genuinely play these games for "gear fear" which is they get rare guns and helmets and stuff and are scared of dying with them and losing them lol. Its probably the same thing that drives blacks to wear gold chains in the ghetto. It's stupid af and imo feminine. All the guys from my 40-50 man gaming group that started playing these extraction games were bottom of the barrel players in multiplayer games and tended to be cucky wife guys fwiw (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5842989&forum_id=2\u0026show=posted#49726197) |

Date: March 8th, 2026 2:13 PM Author: chestnut zippy son of senegal trust fund My impression was that it plays quite differently from other extraction shooters. Feels tighter than Arc. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5842989&forum_id=2\u0026show=posted#49726086) |

Date: March 8th, 2026 2:36 PM Author: Pontificating stirring range From the hardworking Prole to the affluent Banker, each fate offers unique abilities, challenges, and ways to interact with the city and its inhabitants. Your choice defines your journey:
Align with the Cortex to stabilize and protect the city.
Join the Scumbags or Zealots to spread the Rot and sow chaos.
Remain Neutral and immerse yourself in daily life, working in factories or exploring the city. Not a good game but I do think that whatever nascent genre this might fall into could be very popular/lucrative with a little bit of polish and a clever dev team |
