Extraction shooters like Escape From Tarkov seem to be the hot new trend in gaming, but we might already be approaching critical mass.
The new Escape from Tarkov Unheard Edition has the community in an outrage after promising exclusive access to the new PvE mode for $250 USD.
$250? Do they not know all the other games that already exist or will be made in the future that can do similar?
This is for the hardcore people that have 2500 h in the game. They basically play that one game the whole year.
Oh and those same people are mad as hell at this... what a way to reward fans of your game and annihilate newcomers.
Read a comment earlier calling it a "special monetization operation." I had to chuckle at that.
Bungie's extraction shooter revival for Marathon has been making progress despite studio struggles, but one change makes it sound way worse.
Whether it's showcasing damage realistically or simulating fractures and conditions, these games are worth checking out.
