    Why is everyone doing extraction shooters now? Are they really that great? I only played escape of Tarkov for a bit but I couldn’t get into it.

      Tarkov is a place where people discover they are actual masochists. The learning curve is near asymptotic, especially if you start mid or late in one of the economy “wipe” cycles. The cheater issues they have make it 10x worse than it should be though.

      The stakes of extraction shooters are great. Makes playing/engagement way more tense. Similar to the level of games like pubg or whatever, but id say more so.

      Tarkov is hardcore as hell though. Takes it too far IMHO putting the right ammo in your gun is life or death. I look forward to someone finding the balance.
