I was just gifted Arc Raiders. And holy shit this game is actually fucking INCREDIBLE! I never played extraction shooters before but this is deadass a solid game. I like the retro futurism of it. It's actually quite unique and the women are surprisingly hot! What yall think?
>deadass>what yall think
>>729368970What the fuck is wrong with you?
don't play this gamepeople will literally shoot you in the back just for loot
>>729369680skill issue, never relax
>>729369014I think you should go back to plebbit.
>we have helldivers 2 at home
>>729369680>game with pvp>relaxingnigga if i ever touch this game i'll literally shoot anything that moves.
>>729370283Helldivers leftism trannycore pretending to be masculine while Arc raiders is right wing extremism masquerading as trans allies
incredibly GAY lol
>>729368928put 50 hours into after being shilled to by "people" like OP and I kind of think it's shit. definitely not OMG LE BEST THING EVERR
>>729370561This literally harkins me back to classic halo 4 though that sense of wonder..
>>729368928nocap deadass frfr ohio aim
>>729369680Why does the rattler even exist jesus christ
>>729368928You forgot to say that you're "having a blast".
>>729370368then you will soon realize that1. players are incredibly weak, they die to pistols and gray rarity lv1 guns, whereas robot pve enemies are heavily armored and take time to kill2. the game's matchmaking segregates players between pvpers and non-pvpers, and you will soon find yourself in pvp lobbies3. gear upgrades matter little for pvp, higher tier guns are much better at penetrating ARC armor but don't have higher dps than lower tier weaponswhich results in pvp being a low level, poverty nigger activity people only do to grief othersbecause there is no challenge, no satisfaction and barely any reward for doing itmeanwhile in non pvp lobbies people can progress in the game
>>729368928>deadassStopped reading there. Fuck off, marketer. Come back when you learn how to fit in.
>>729368928It doesn't have enough suffering It feels like the community just wants to pretend they're hardcore for playing an extraction shooter while playing it like Helldivers 2 on the lowest difficulty
>>729371273>meanwhile in non pvp lobbies people can progress in the gameThere's nothing to progress towardsArcs form no threat without other players
>>729371513there is nothing to progress if you just want to pvpyour kettle 1 and stitcher 1 is your SSS tier 0 pvp gun
>>729371489You need to shut the fuck up.
>>729371513Yeah don’t play this game, I think there’s a new pokemon game you guys can enjoy
>>729368928are you left out if you dont have a mic with these types of games?
>>729373438no, you also don't need to play with a full squad of friends communicating on discord with perfect callouts and bearings
>>729373438There's a dedicated reddit buttonYou can just spam that repeatedly to indicate you're a wholesome chungus
>>729368928Fuck you. I wanted to make a thread legitimately asking why this game is so popular but now if I do people are going to say it's a shilling campaign or something.
>>729373897It's popular because it's significantly lower intensity compared to other extraction shooters, so it's good for streamers as they can interact a lot with their community and it's good for retards that watch streamers It has a lot of good things but as a whole the game is simply easy to the point of being boring unless you care about "number go up" as you mindlessly farm moneyBasically they couldn't decide whether to make a pve game or an extraction shooter and they ended up with something that fails at both
>>729368970>quote by man who lost to America and a bunch of communist snow farmers
>>729368928Arc Raiders is a great case study for a bait and switch style of vidya development. The first 20-50 hours of the game are great. Its only once you peel back the veneer and realise>Gear balance is pretty awful, there's virtually no reason to use anything higher than grey or green weapons or a medium shield>Due to this, the majority of the loot serves zero purpose because the only purpose of loot is to sell to buy stuff (Of which there is nothing useful to buy, similar to Rupees in ocarina of time) or to craft stuff (of which, there is very little useful to craft)>There's actually very few variation in enemy design (What there is, I think is actually pretty great, but there's basically two flying drones, two indoor rollerballs, and the rest are boss -level enemies you dont necessarily have to engage with most of the time because, once again, the loot doesnt serve much purpose)>The PVP system is pretty underbaked, there's no reason to PVP other than the XP (Which is also pretty useless as mentioned below) and to steal loot (Which is a waste of time for reasons mentioned above)>XP progression is rather ineffectual, you get a skill point with each level up to 75, and you rank up a skill with each point, but the skills themselves are poorly described and mostly have such little effect that there is only a marginal difference between a level 15 character and a level 75 character>Actual progression systems are loot/crafting based (Useless) and a reset system, which serves just to put you back on the very short treadmill grind every 2 monthsWhat you're left with is a extraction looter shooter where the loot serves no purpose, so you're left just entering into a map with some robots and other players, no respawns, no rewards, no objective. Just wandering around shooting or dying.I think the game itself has tons of potential, the systems are in place to create a good game, it needs a ton more content to be worthwhile
>>729373897>>729374773Its very popular right now because it dropped right as COD and BF were about to disappoint a large chunk of the shooter market, a bunch of streamers went viral with the social interaction elements of proximity chat (Very in right now) and Extraction Shooter being an extremely under-utilised genre. There is literally just Tarkov, that duck parody I think, and Arc Raiders. Its clearly a popular genre, but its so shallow right now you can shit out anything and people will play it because people are sick of years of >Ranked ladder grinding with zero stake other than an number going up and down after every matchThey like seeing visible progression with each chunk of loot you bring back. This is just the dawn of the in-new-thing. Marathon in March, that not-warcraft extraction game coming at the end of next month etc. will add fuel to the fire
>>729375175There's a good amount of enemy variation but it's largely irrelevant because why would you fight them? The small enemies are easy to kill with most weapons and anything big you're better off avoiding because it's not worth the time and resources to kill them. If you get spotted just rush to an escape
>>729375381There's a ton of extraction shooters (duckov isn't one) but every single one except tarkov, arc raiders and cawadoodee flopped
>>729372193Why the fuck would you even say that when the game system requirements are lower than NFS unbound's? Also OP need's to kill himself for using niggerfaggot speak.
>>729374845i will never understand why retards idolize a suicidal retard so much
>>729375381>went viralAll I know about this game is that it's got a big advertising budget. Nothing about it seems "viral," it's just typical corporate pushing.
>>729375482if your only purpose is to pvp then they deliberately designed the game to not have progression
>>729369680It looks like it controls just like TLOU2
>>729374773>It's popular because it's significantly lower intensity compared to other extraction shooters,Yeah because spending 30 minutes sorting through your fucking storage and inventory is fun right? Fuck that shit.
>>729375175yeah because playing video games means NOTHING. HELLO RETARD????
>>729371736buy an ad.in all fields.
>>729377318Stop spamming.
>>729368970>guy who's state collapsed 3 years after he said this
>>729368928I think it's boring.
>>729375758you probably idealize nigger ball players
>>729368928If you enjoy being immersed with headphones and listening to sound ques for explosive encounters with players it’s pretty good. Players are willing to interact as well, iv had some fun fights end with a team up and iv encountered mega sweats that I body, it feels good to put players down like the dogs they are. Once you get good at Identifying the aggressive players it becomes a little mini game. I kill anyone who doesn’t use a mic, that’s 9/10 times they are evil fuckers
If someone kills me one more time, i swear to god you will see me on tv
>>729382794do a flip
>dam>get to water treatment tower with a key>locked room is already unlocked>open the door and say "Hi">mutenigger inside keeps looting>ask him if we can split some loot>doesn't respond, keeps looting>3-shot him with an anvil>has venator 2, renegade 4, and heavy/medium gun partsHow can one be so stupid?
>>729368970You lost lol
>>729375175I've been saying this shit since hour one of tech test 2 and it made absolutely no difference because nexon's marketing department farmed the delusional "immersion" normies that battlefield left behind
pveniggers be like YOOOO THIS GAMEPLAY IS FIRE
>>729385021He was gonna kill you, you had no choice
>>729388374Retard has no idea what he’s even posting el oh el
>>729386149if you arent a jew you lost too mein nigger
>>729388913YOOOOO LOOK AT THIS LOOT NIGGA
>>729388913these pve enemies are so intelligent! they use modern machine learning to counter your tactics!
>>729388913yooo and the pvp is amazing, you can look over walls and corners without exposing yourself!
>>729368928You cappin, I ain't seen a single hot shorty in this games frfr ong
>>729390427Dude got an augment. Pretty decent>>729390489Dude is LOSing the loudest enemy in the game. If he doesn’t get ganked someone will end up helping him kill it>>729390554Tarkov is still available for you to play, Mr MLG
>>729388916My ancestors killed nazis and japs though.
>>729385021Wow, your an asshole
>>729390792just for you to lose
>>729382794 LMAO bro chill, it's not that serious. Just take a walk, hit the stash again, and make sure YOU camp the extract this time. Circle of life.
>>729386149>I won to import nigs, indians and sandcucks.Good job.
this is the sort of hypercasual game that instead of immediately killing you and deleting all your gear and progress, it puts you in a downed state that even lets you extract
>>729368928Masterful bait Sir. To the front page of Reddit we go.
>>729375175if you needed more than the 2 hour refund period to figure out the game is garbage with or without friends then you're not very bright
>>729391649face 15 is the cutest
>>729370832>Halo 4>remembered fondlyfucking hell
>>729391593Correction: The guy let you extract on purpose.
>>729391894oh yeah you can't hear the audio
>>729368928Sorry, that was last month's flavor. It's over.
>>729387161Same as you, played the tt2 and not only I found it boring, but to me there just weren't many reasons to loot or do anything. Quests aren't even intresting enough to complete.
>>729390554>The massive netcode delay registering the other player being shot dead
>>729369680>relaxing
oh and did you know? the best pvpers in this game are the ones who camp and preaim and try to kill people who are either defenseless or not even trying to fight back
>>729394745>not fighting in a pvp gamesounds like an iq issue
>>729371513there's weekly trials, easier on low agresion lobies,there's the projects and expedition, easier to get on low agresion lobiesthe only thing harder to get is the cred objectives with pvp since it will place you on pvp servers after doing them>>729371273I love this game for all those reasons
>>729371273>2. the game's matchmaking segregates players between pvpers and non-pvpers, and you will soon find yourself in pvp lobbiespretty sure this was proven false. like they took a dev quote out of context and assumed that it influenced matchmaking. the dev said something like "they collect/look at data about player behavior" whether they pvp or not, and people just assumed that use it for matchmaking, and then just a few weeks ago they flat out denied that they use it for matchmaking.
The Bungulator
>>729368928It was fun for like the first week but I'm kind of over it
>>729368970>And they have their racial problem, and the problem of social inequalitiesUhh I thought only communists cared about inequality?
>>729399078only cool thing about arc raiders>>729397180>muh trialsAggression based matchmaking wasn't a thing in the past and it's debatable whether it is now, since the people saying "oh yeah I totally notice it" were also saying it when it was confirmed to not be a thing yetit's all placebo
>>729371513>There's nothing to progress towardsI think this was my biggest problem. Quests are mostly shit and give shit rewards, some of the leaderboard objectives are just extremely unfun and if you don't 3 star everything every week you get locked out of cosmetics (not a huge deal but I don't really want a game holding my time hostage), arc are barely threat anymore, and some of those spawns are just complete asshole.
>>729368928why you talking like a nigger, op?
>>729368928it was fun at first, but I'm bored of it now and doubt I'll play it again
>>729379878at least they were successful in their endeavors and didnt resort to suicide LOL
>>729401715>eceleb vtranny streamer is the coolest thing evergo back
>>729403243coolest thing about the game*says a lot about the game huh
>>729402237Typical flavour of the month.It probably gets really dull pretty fast because it doesn't seem to be very deep at all. I would predict game is 'fun' for about 10-20 hours but after that not so much.Tarkov at least has some mechanical depth and complexity to it, even if it is still pretty bad too. Main point of Tarkov is that you can't learn everything about it in few evenings.. It'll take tens of hours to be familiar with all the maps and so on.
Blast status?
This game sucks ass. The movement feels like shit, the robots are not fun to kill, pvp is so sluggish, map design is awful and boring. What's the point in looting anything once you have max storage and work stations? overhyped streamer slop.
>>729405837you sound like you don't even know how to play videogames
>>729408625Do you enjoy eating your own asshole?
>>729408671no, why did you bring up a seemingly unrelated thing?
>>729408724Because that's what you're doing. Eating your own asshole.
>>729408749this sounds like projection
>>729369680Just turn off crossplay. They're all console players who dont have mics to talk
>>729408860if he was on console he would not have missed that first shot
>>729390792what a victorythe world is so much better isn't it?
>>729368928Sorry, Helldivers 2 is better
>>729409051so is bf6 and war thunder and dead by daylight
>>729409083man arc raiders is big pile of shit
>>729379157>only took the entire world to fight against him and he still almost won
