arc raiders thread

whatdya guys doing at launch? waking up at 5AM? whatdya rushing?

Imagine waking up at 5am to model your life around video games LMAO

It's 11AM in my time zone
Which sucks because I actually do wake up at 5AM

> "The optimizations we did were only intended to target the very bottom range of hardware, so if they compared to Tech Test 2, then absolutely, at their intended settings, they would have seen a visual downgrade, because the target frame rates and target stability we needed to hit was not even close on those specs, so we had to do some correction," Watkins says, before assuring me that "epic settings shouldn't be affected" by any of these optimizations and any other last-minute tweaks before launch. He also acknowledges that a few lighting and draw distance bugs may have also contributed to the game looking worse, and while fixes will arrive, it's not guaranteed they'll be ready for launch day.

>>724487446
LOL

>>724487705
Downgraded game compared to TT2. Didn't revert changes. GG embark.

>>724487069 (OP)
I wake up at that time to get up for work. I'll be home early though. Going to play all afternoon and evening.

why is this game generating so much hype? the map and robots are cool, but other than that i don't really get it

>>724487069 (OP)
I didn't play the game yet and I'm already bored of it.

>>724487446

>>724488128
where the fuck is OP? i'm asking why anyone should give a shit. HELLO? SHILLS?

>>724488128
its fun

>>724488897
OP is paid marketing, just like all the sponsored influencer videos dropping today

>>724488958
no one cares about 4chan

>>724489112
oh how wrong you are

>>724489131
nah

>>724489345
first shill campaign newfag?

God this shit looks unappealing and soulless.

I used to be so fucking unmotivated cause of video game addiction. Now gaming is shit that I've actually started applying myself. I'm halfway to a law degree and I've lost 50lb, all because I'd rather be studying and working out then playing video games. Holy fuck, maybe I owe you fuckers for running gaming into the ground so hard, Christ. Seriously, I can't think of anything less appealing than 'multiplayer slop game No 254 but this time we have a 70s Atari aesthetic'. Fuck, where are all the platformers and rts'? How do people even enjoy mobile shit? I gave Fate a chance and was floored by how boring it was. How do people play multiplayer shooters that all look and sound the same all day? Where are the games that filled me with a sense of wonder or exploration, or keep me on the edge of my seat wondering where we'll be going next? I haven't felt that since I played modded A Hat in Time or some of the more cryptic Doom wads. I know why Pokéslop continues to sell; because it is the only franchise to still pretend to offer a game with a child-like sense of wonder. Young kids don't realize it's all cookie cutter slop being repackaged and functionally identical to the previous iteration and has been since the 90s. I'm so fucking tired of this gay and lame medium, holy shit. I hope all devs are fired and replaced with AI, not because it'll be good, but because what I am currently getting is every bit as soulless, and at least this way the devs will all be unemployed.

I’ll probably play 3 rounds, get BTFO left and right and end up refunding.

>>724489396
>we really want the global south audience

>>724488128
it’s fun.

>>724487069 (OP)
ick raiders.

the weird thing is i really dislike extraction shooters but gave this a go on the sever slam on the last day with a buddy. We played for 4hr straight and had a blast.
I think the whole "started as a PVE game" drew me in. also the 3rd person, sue me.. loofking forward to playing as this farquad looking ass.

>>724489991
>had a blast.
seriously stop saying this. whether its an ironic joke or not, the phrase is fully associated with cocksucking retards on reddit/literal bots

>>724489467
i like good stories or fun gameplay. gave up multiplayer games years ago and it was a good choice

>>724488128
Fun game that runs very well, which is a rarity now.

>>724487069 (OP)
>paying for AI slop
lmao

can you explain why, goy?

there are parts of /v/ that actually feel this way?

go outside

>>724490485
nta, and i'd never point it out; but i do always think it

GUYZ LOOK, ANOTHER MULTIPLAYER SHOOTER!!!!
COME PLAY LE MULTIPLAYER SHOOTER!!!
IT'S GOT ZANY WACKY COLORS IN SMALL SHITTY ARENAS, SHITTY BALANCING THAT SUCKS ALL FUN OUT TO CURRY FAVOR WITH E-SPORTS NIGGAS THAT WILL NEVER PLAY IT!! WE LOVE LE MULTIPLAYER SHOOTER!!! THERE'S A FAT GUY WITH A MASSIVE HITBOX YET HAS JUST AS MUCH HEALTH AS EVERYONE ELSE BECAUSE #HEALTHATEVERYSIZE!!!! MUH FAVORITE E-CELEB PLAYED IT AND LE HECKING CORPORATION THAT HADN'T MADE A GOOD FUCKING GAME IN 20 YEARS IS DEVELOPING IT!!! REMEMBER SCRIMBLO BIMBLO AND THE SOULFUL FUN PLATFORMER? THIS IS BY A BUNCH OF PEOPLE THAT WEREN'T EVEN ALIVE WHEN THAT GAME WAS DEVELOPED, BUT WORK FOR THE SAME COMPANY! THAT MEANS IT'LL BE JUST AS GOOD!!! WHAT'S THAT? INNOVATION? NEW SHIT? NO! PEOPLE WANT LE MULTIPLAYER SHOOTER! IN NO WAY WILL THIS FLOP AND KILL THE DEVELOPER LIKE 99% OF ALL MULTIPLAYER SHOOTERS TRYING TO COMPETE WITH FAGNITE! THIS ISN'T A SHILL CAMPAIGN, WE SWEAR!!!!

>>724490394
plays great, shooting is fun, atmosphere stronk, great sound design and third person is cooler than fps

>>724490721
I've heard that a million times and seen it a million times. Even if that were true, why wouldn't I just go play one of those?

Wow, that default outfit is ass.

>>724490825
go ahead and play tarkov then. it’s too autistic for me and I assume that’s true for most people who enjoy arc

>>724490394
It plays like a multiplayer stealth game and reminds me of TLoU Factions which I also enjoyed

>>724487069 (OP)
honestly don't understand the hype
the game looks mediocre at best, and the overall gameplay loop was shallow
also
>TPS in an extraction shooter
LOL!
enjoy your dead playerbase in 2 months

>>724490985
>tlou factions
home…
i was the bow god

>>724487069 (OP)
>whatdya guys doing at launch
Not play the game, since this genre is shit.
Plus, I've got a job to attend, so I ain't playing it anyways,

>>724490990
>2 months of fun for just $39,99
based. I will now buy your game

SHould have stayed the singleplayer game the devs wanted to make

>>724488128
Artificial hype propped up by paid sponsors and shills both real and AI. Look at this post for example >>724487705

You think a normal fucking human would, unprompted, not only drop a link but quote a blurb of text trying to damage control the graphic downgrade? Fuck no.

>>724490876
>who the fuck cares about you?
The devs apparently. Too bad cause games should cater to me specifically and I'm not interested. Flop confirmed?

>>724490553
nta but you should go outside too

>>724490985
>>724490979
>>724490721
okay, fair enough. it's being compared to tarkov, (etc.) so i guess i wanted to see or hear about something MEATY. something that signals it might have a long life.
like... CoD has great shooting atmosphere, etc.
not hating, it just seems shallow. which is fine, but it doesn't make it a tarkov killer. tarkov kills itself just fine anyway

>>724490985
Bungie killed Factions 2 for Marathon, Marathon gets killed by a game that looks exactly like Factions but with a star wars aesthetic.

God is real and has a sense of humor

>>724487069 (OP)
>rushing
not sure if infinite free loadouts was just a server slam thing but if not, I'm going to stock up then gonna try increase my stash and stock up on as many medium shields as possible.

>>724491286
>CoD has great shooting atmosphere, etc.
it looks and runs nice, has great audio, and is a less autistic version of a very autistic genre
I'm not sure what else you want to be said. you don't have to like the game, I give you permission to not play it.

>>724489991
I swear the battlepass better have more faces/hairstyles

>>724490985
This is probably why I liked it so much, I hated tlou but I loved its multiplayer mode and I also loved MGO2, asscreed brotherhoods multiplayer and splinter cells spies vs mercs.
Arc has a big focus on stealth especially solo which is really fun, the ais are also fun to fight too and the pvps good. The maps all look great and are cool to explore too, looks like the fifth map is inside only and will be out before christmas.

>>724491362
this shit is so funny to me. I think you are right. I think Bungie told Sony to cancel TLoU Online because they didn't want to compete against what they could tell was a superior extraction shooter.
and then they went and fucked up Marathon anyway, and a different studio basically put out a spiritual successor to TLoU Online but fully multiplat and with crossplay
Bungie has done so much fucking damage to Sony and themselves its actually insane

>>724491436
sounds like you can't articulate why you like it

>>724491228
I'm a normal human.... I hate the downgrade and am trying to assblast their pitiful fucking response to it to as many people as possible.

>>724491708
It has a great "shooting atmosphere" like CoD
hope that helps

>>724491770
nah.. nah i dont think you're smart enough to answer my first question and you think its my problem. you dont have to reply back until you figure it out for yourself

>>724491826
I like it because, like CoD, the atmosphere of shooting is great, etc

>>724491907
so you're playing this one because its the new game and your streamer plays it? because you can just play cod. you can boot it up right now

>>724491452
there was a video showing off all the battlepasses in the streamer preview, almost every battlepass had a new hairstyle and / or a new face.

>>724491286
arc raiders is incredibly shallow. once you look past the crafting (which is just artificial progression to slow you down), there are only a handful of weapons, enemies and maps. that's it, that's all there is to do. the first wipe is planned just barely 6 weeks after launch.

>>724491981
no I'm playing it because >>724490985

>>724487069 (OP)
Dead fotm game only streamers and theyr simps play for a week

I don't get the point of it. You collect crafting materials then go back to the base to craft stuff, repeat. What's the end goal?

>>724492518
what's the end goal of literally any multiplayer game?
you do multiplayer shit

>>724492046
it seems like people either dont care or lack foresight

>>724492518
To have fun. God damn you zoomers dopamine receptors are fried.

See you all at the extracts.

>>724487069 (OP)
I wage then have a comfy non-meta game with frens

>>724492518
Whats the point of literally ANY multiplayer game, nigger?

>>724489991
So this is where Ozzy went..

>>724492518
Why do you go back to the same threads and repeat the same posts?

>>724492592
>>724493376
people play games because they want to feel like they are working towards something (to see the ending of the story, to get a high score/fast time, whatever). most multiplayer games give players a sense of progression through either ranked (e.g. counterstrike) or unlocking stuff (e.g. battlefield). the issue with arc raiders is that there is no ranked and there is nothing to unlock. there's no measure of progress.

>>724494084
actual NPC. you like skinnerboxes, not video games. back to your daily login treadmill.

>>724494084
Yeah dude I spent hundreds of hours just on blood gulch because of a carrot on a stick instead of actually enjoying the game.

>>724494084
>raiders is that there is no ranked
>there is nothing to unlock
why are you trying to talk about a game you don't know anything about?

>>724492127
this is what literally every video gamer looks like
grow up and go lift some weights and get into politics, you fucking losers

>>724487069 (OP)
sorry OP I'm doing this instead >>724487446

>>724494084
there are things to unlock. Why do people feel the need to talk about things they fundamentally misunderstand? Like take 10 seconds to make sure you're not spouting bullshit, is that really too hard?

>>724494626
Hope you enjoy Marathon.

>>724491286
It's a Tarkov killer because it's actually going to be an optimised complete experience at launch while Nikita is still shitting out half baked dogshit and ignoring bugs that have existed for half a decade

>>724494084
there is both ranked and long term unlocks with prestiges, you're a fucking idiot

>>724490485
>>724491272

yea dude, 'complete experiences' are just better

>>724495421
20 ammo types isn't content nor is it fun

>>724487069 (OP)
Marathon mogs this game so hard, it's a shame Bungie is retarded.

the community is completely fucking infested with "dad gamers" and it genuinely makes me never want to touch this game

>>724495598
what's more fun is no features actually

>>724495767
blud really going on reddit of all things just to get mad

>>724487069 (OP)
This looks so aggressively bland, I can't fathom anyone being interested in it.

>>724494256
ranked is not daily login skinnerbox and nor is battlefield's unlock system.

>>724494269
mindless deathmatching is always fun for a few hours here and there. im not paying $40 for the privilege to do so.

>>724494501
>>724494501
>>724495156
>nothing to unlock
please consider for a moment that there are only 4 types of usable equipment you can bring into a match:
shield
weapon
ammo
gadgets (meds/grenades/etc)

the only thing you 'unlock' through the monotonous crafting progression system is slightly more reliable access to the above 4 things. which you can always just get by killing and looting other players, or even finding randomly in a container. there's nothing to actually 'unlock' and very little to play with.

>see youtuber I like
>makes video about this game
>talks very little about the game itself other "it pretty and the other youtubers I played with were talkative"
>"this video is sponsored by embark"
Womp womp

>>724495925
loot being ephemeral is the whole point of the genre you retarded nigger

>>724495925
Nothing says lolcow behavior like doubling down.

My main issue is that i'm looting JUNK all the fucking time thanks to the fucking crafting system.

Yes please, fill my fucking inventory with useless trash all the goddamn time!

>>724495925
>says wrong shit and gets corrected
>instead of realizing he's wrong, he moves the goalpost
Why are subhumans like this? I don't get it, shouldn't you be happy that there's actually ranked and long term goals since that's what you wanted?

>>724490125
>adjusting your language because a 4channer might find it cringe
I seriously hope none of you guys do this.

>>724496108
Navigating through trash and recycling was a pain in the ass, I guess it's just something you'll learn over time but I hope they make it clearer what components recycle into what with some more unified crafting interface.

SOrry I am not buying ARC Raiders
Hahahaha sorry I am just not buying it

>>724495860
this game and its community are just pure reddit

>>724496108
it doesn't even feel like "junk"; it's not that immersive. i feel like i'm filling bars in a mobile game

>>724496016
if loot is ephemeral why wouldnt i just play counterstrike or apex instead?

>>724496128
source?

>>724496128
He just wants to complain for the sake of complaining, it doesn't matter that he's wrong or that he refuses to look at anything about the game. He will move goal posts whenever he's proven wrong or say thats not good enough if you give him sources.

>>724487069 (OP)
Since I can work from home, and not much to do at my job lately. I will getting up at 6 am. Going for a jog, eating an egg cheese sandwich, and playing the fuck out of this game. All fucking day.

>>724496016
actually, it's hoarding.

>>724496406
Expeditions are the wipe system where you have to collect a bunch of materials and get to prestige every 8 weeks or so.
Trials are weekly challenges with specific scenarios to beat, and ranked leaderboards that give their own mastery rewards.
https://arcraiders.com/en/news/expedition-project/
https://arcraiders.com/en/news/everything-you-need-to-know/
This was all clearly explained in the site and in-game, why do you even post about something you have zero knowledge of?

>it's a time advantage type of game
ewww no thanks, I don't want to be penalized for just not playing the game.

>>724495601
I wanted to like Marathon over this game but it just suuuuuuuucks

>>724495767
Seen a lot of this shit too that it almost feels unnatural.

>thank you embark, as a FATHER with a JOB who doesn't have hours to spend on a game blah blah blah
Going to be mighty disappointed when they realise it's just another multiplayer game and they're going to get dunked on either way.

is arc closer to hunt or tarkov?

>>724492046
>paid multiplayer only game with microtransactions on top
LMAO
LOL
KEK
THIS is the game people are hype about???

>>724496610
eat my ass. ive been looking forward to arc raiders for years. i put 30 hours into the 3 day free weekend. i WANT to like arc raiders. there's just nothing there.

>>724496737
>expedition
they stated that they will have a prestige system, but they havent specified what the rewards are.
>ranked
once again, they vaguely gesture that there will be challenges but dont specify further.

im not giving these scammers any money until they make more concrete promises.

>>724497383
>"thats not good enough"
Told you.

>>724497087
Fortnite

>>724497020
the finals ended up sweaty as fuck and the chinks drove all the casuals away as expected, this will probably have a bigger casual appeal since you can play solo and it has a lot of PvE focus but these redditors are out of touch with reality and will just go back to their farmvilles in a week tops

I had like a 6-7/10 time with the server stress test but no way in hell am I paying 40 dollars for a game with microtransactions, which correct me if I'm wrong, include in-game items

>>724497235
bf6 just released $100s of dollars of mtx, they also all look like shit. maybe literally all of the skins look bad, somehow
anyway, i hate gaming now

>>724487069 (OP)
Why does a 40$ game have MTX prrmium currency?
Sorry OP, hard pass. It's also possibly pay4advantage bc usable items are in the battlepasses, and they will be paid for at some point.

>>724497383
If you actually played the tests you'd have seen the obvious expedition and ranked buttons in the UI with a popup telling you exactly what they are.

>>724497235
>>724497613
oh and i hate swedes now too

>>724497552
its just cosmetics

>>724495767
I fucking hate that too. What relevance is you being older and having a family? You're a player like everyone else. I feel like its a subtle virtue signal

>>724495767
literally every popular game that has ever came out had a reddit doing shit like this the day before. stop browsing fucking reddit

>>724497087
honestly closer to battlefront II in the way it handles.

>>724495767
Reddit is full of wholesome big chungus normies who make posts like that to farm updoots from other normies. This happens at every game with decent hype behind its launch, I'm sure you could go back and see just thousands of posts like that for trash like starfield.

>>724497464
>not good enough
THATS THE ENTIRE POINT IM TRYING TO MAKE. arc raiders is a MEDIOCRE game.

the only thing going on here is that we have different standards. fotm games continue to be produced because people like you fall for it every time, paying the entrance fee and realizing they've been duped and drop the game a month later.

im posting to both prevent other people falling for this scam, or to be convinced that there is more substance to the game than my initial impressions.

>>724497617
pretty sure those buttons only said "this will be available in the full game" or some such. they didnt say anything more descriptive than whatever was in those links earlier.

>>724497654
Could have sworn I saw some of the lootable items in the shop previews, but I'll take your word for it.
Still, 40 dollar game with microtransactions. If it was free to play or even 10 bucks I'd be happy to play it again, but I guess I'll wait for either a sale or the inevitable F2P patch

>>724497924
you are talking to consolets... they arent 'there' yet, think:
there are like 4 anon (but actually just one guy) talking about how theyre hyped because the game looks and sounds good or reminds them of a cancelled playstation exclusive.

>>724492046

god the guns look like absolute dog shit

>>724497928
The raider decks which are helldivers 2 like battle passes have items in them, but the decks are free and the items in them are little things like a flare.
You also earn the premium currency in game by playing, the first raider deck at launch gives 500 points of the premium currency.
I also genuinely don't see a reason to really care about them having a store selling outfits, you can earn the premium currency in game if you want it and people who are loose with their credit card support the game which means the devs keep getting money to keep funding the game.

>>724498223
yeah i came to that realization a week or two ago that 99% of people hyped about arc raiders are console players who havent been exposed to anything more bland than halo or cod and it's blowing their socks off. i forget that console-mains exist on /v/ too.

I wonder what the market will be like... anyone want to try and start a discord so we can sell gear to people for money?

>>724497383
>ive been looking forward to arc raiders for years
>i just also know anything about it
>trust me bro, i'm totally not just a shit poster stirring shit for (yous)

>>724498767
Is there actually trading/economy?

>>724495195
What exactly did you notice?

>>724498937
You can't actually trade, the idea would be to stream in discord showing your available items then you infil with them and drop trade.

>>724498937
arc raiders doesnt have any market whatsoever! they let you shoot each other, they let you loot each other, but if you wanna actually move items between players outside of a match, you cant do that!

it makes it so fucking disappointing when you loot some epic purple weapon only to realize that all you can do with it if you dont want to use it is to sell it for pennies to a trader or break it down for nearly worthless scrap.

the developers even added a fucking "slot machine" sound whenever you find a purple item in a container, then you realize that every purple item is worthless lmao. what an awful game.

>>724499151
wow anon, do you always get this upset at games you don't play?

>game set in post apoc Italy
>not a single character looks Italian
Sasuga swedefags

>>724499402
>not a single character looks Italian
thank fucking god, you dumb wop

>>724499227
what about my post made it sound like i didnt play it? they are very specific frustrations i had with the game.

>>724487184
I don't get why. Aren't game playable any time?
>>724487069 (OP)
Looks like starfield. Is it a dlc?

>>724487069 (OP)
has anyone bought a cd key for it and received it? a lot of the sites say that it won't be sent until release

>>724499227
This is what happens when you don't play video games and just spend all your time on /v/ to shitpost.

>>724498417
They're basically Favela guns.
The sound design carries them.

>>724497087
Because the guns have pretty low capacity, I feel like the pacing is pretty similar to Hunt. But like other anon said the movement and animations are very Battlefront 2

>>724498512
Fair enough
Still ain't paying 40 bucks for it, gonna wait for a 50+% sale or for it to go f2p, whichever comes first

>>724487069 (OP)
yeah im not wasting money on this one. are there any other good f2p extraction shooters?

>>724501083
free? Arena Breakout Infinite is worth trying. It's like a ripoff of Tarkov but with a lot of good QoL changes so it doesn't become a second job. I like it.

Why does this game make people seethe so hard? What causes it?

I don't care about other games, therefore I don't post or care about the fans of those games, is it hard for you guys to act on this?

The art direction of this game doesn't really click with me.
It feels like part of it wants to be S.T.A.L.K.E.R / METRO but the other part wants to be the Concord/Starfield astronaut style

>>724502651
Because it's a huge scam destined to die in a fe months and my idiot friends will make me waste money on it

>>724502905
It's not a waste of money if you have fun playing it with your friends

>>724503061
I've had fun kicking stones with friends, what's your point?

>>724502905
What should I spend $60 on instead then?

>>724502651
shit posters just want the game to be bad so they can call it concord 2

>>724503357
I think this game is worth $40 of fun with my friends, personally.

>>724503471
You do you

>>724503375
cont. and please don't say any single player games, as I can just pirate those games and buy them later. But what alternative can you offer for me, where my money wouldn't be 'wasted'?

>>724502651
I was the same way at first, I hated the character designs. But then I made one I found acceptable and then never thought about it again. Though I hate the personalities in the trader windows...

The rest of the game is okay

>>724503375
Literally any co-op game that's not gaas? You stupid or something?

>>724503375
poe2 and buy essential stash tabs, you're likely to get a good 10 years out of that game hopefully

>>724501973
I'd pay for a tony soprano skin

>>724503882
lmao

>>724503843
>literally any co-op game that's not gaas

super vague and unhelpful, if you are going to criticize a game, you must be ready to offer a superior alternative, lest your criticism be pointless and a signal of well poisoning.

If you were serious, you would be offering an alternative with good PvEvP, at least somewhat extraction shooter based, relatively good value ($40) compared to modern game prices of $70-100, stable and satisfying optimization as well as graphics, unique and original style with a captivating narrative.

Hint: There is no alternative.

You can play the game solo and you get put into a map with other solos.

I certainly hope the cosmetics we got to see in the playtest were "If you see anyone looking anything like this you should know they've been in the game for less than 3 hours" tier and not the aesthetic they were going for

>>724505212
the game could be grittier, in the demo every outfit looked like cycling gear

>>724505380
Then what's the point man? I think this is as good as it's gonna get for a while, hell I actually think it's great. I actually think the woke tranny nonsense slips away in the foreground of my mind when playing this. Call it childlike ignorance or whatever, call it inferior taste. It doesn't matter man, the difference right now between you and me is I will be able to enjoy the game.

If it sucks after a while there's nothing I'll be able to do about it, because I know for a fact I'll clear the 2 hour refund window. Even during the server slam I played for almost 5 hours and had fun even though it was heavily restricted. If it's true you are so above it all and can see through all the hype and gilded aspect of this game, you wouldn't even be here posting in the first place. I just don't get it man.

>>724505212
the not-retard set everyone will use on release is the cowboy one, the finals also looked rather samey on release but got extremely wacky and varied over time

谢谢,您的账户已收到10日元存款。

I always think I'm really going to enjoy these types of games and then I get killed 10 seconds before extracting with a bag of loot or a quest item and I lose all motivation to continue.

>>724506192
There's a moment right before extracting -- choose to wait near the extraction instead. Your heart will pump, with a single smoke grenade as soon as they all run towards it you smoke it and run inside.

>>724505721
There's nothing wrong with buying Arc Raiders if you go into it aware that it's a FOTM game that is only good for a month or two of fun before all the content dries up. I've never denied the game performs, looks and sounds good. The existing extract shooter audience has come to expect deeper and complicated mechanics from the genre, and Arc Raiders is the casual console extract shooter. You're right, you will be able to enjoy the game and I won't because we are two different audiences. I'm in this thread because I had high expectations and want to believe it's the game I'm looking for and I'm not seeing it.

>>724505829
I played this for 30 hours btw, not satisfied, the AI sucks and is super easy to kill, also I wasn't a huge fan of the 30 different AK/AR variations. Not to mention the game has a huge cheater problem, as well as a massive disparity between Normal Farm Ops and Hard TV Station, where you match against bots for like your fist 15 hours, and then get thrown with uber sweats and actual players once u get to TV Station.

This is such a low-quality reply, it literally checks none of the previously stated boxes except for the fact it's F2P and extraction based. Other than that, all the previous points are still left unaccounted for. Please do better

>>724506192
people and arcs clumping up on exits is natural even outside of campers, I'm sure they'll want to balance it but get used to 99% of the action being at the last minute

>TF got neglected for a shitty extraction shooter that will die within a month
Great job Embark, I'm sure Nexon would be happy to close you after this catastrophic flop happnes

>>724506801
it was originally the other way around tho

we were supposed to get a really cool pve co-op game before it was neglected for TF and now we get a shitty casual extract shooter. everyone loses.

>after this catastrophic flop happnes
currently second most bought game on steam

>>724506939
no one wanted some game pve hunt game, they changed it exactly because it was boring and testing did poorly

So uhh. What's the appeal of this game other than slowly extracting loot and upgrading your stuff to get better at slowly extracting loot? Does it have any sort of story?

>>724507089
western markets love co-op shooters, see borderlands, l4d, etc. the issue is they tested for the asian market and forced them to change the game.

there is no point other than deathmatching. dont bother wasting $40 when you can have fun deathmatching in any other f2p shooter. the story is the most generic ai-generated hollywood-tier crap you've heard thats no better or worse than any other extract shooter.

>>724506801
The Finals is profitable according to Sonderland and gets updates every single week. Nexon also thinks the game could last 10 years and is willing to bankroll it with Maplestory and Dungeon Fighter's infinite money.

Embark won't do to TF what Epic did to Paragon and end of service it to fund the more popular game.

>>724507228
There is lore that they're expanding on, kinda like fallout. top world has been destroyed and overrun so they all went underground. You go up to salvage stuff for useful things - a strong focus on a theme of recycling

but it still seems like it will be light on content (since there are only 4 maps) and it will be like firebreak where you see everything in 1 or 2 playthroughs

LMAO 20$ plus tip for garbage skins

Since it is fairly similar enough that I've seen it mentioned before in these threads, just how is Forever Winter shaping up? It sounded like it had a good bunch of gameplay problems and for being a sort of living world, enemy spawns are extremely methodical and don't change so you can keep running the same map the same way.

It's fun but I already have working undetectable ESP for the game since tech test.

The anticheat may as well not exist. With walls you can see the other guys who have walls, and basically every round in the stress test there was at least one guy reacting to me from hundreds of meters away and moving around based on what I was doing.

Hacking will be rampant in this game, just how it was (and still is) in the finals.

Before you bitch, I use ESP because I don't like being victimized by ESP users in extraction shooters. That's all.

I refuse to be a victim in a game where you lose all your work if you die.

Aimbot/recoil/cone of fire bots will be common also, but esp is usually enough to keep distance if I'm trying to get stuff done.

>>724516959
i'll take your concession

>>724516783
>>724516858
It was a bad move to make it so limited, but it really was extremely limited.
It was only a two day thing, they basically wanted as many people as possible to log in and see if the servers worked and that's it.

But yes, they did fuck up by making it so limited. It gave the impression that loot is worthless, that all you want is money to buy from vendors, and that most of what you pick up is worthless but actually most of it is crafting and upgrading materials that we couldn't use.
Example: The dog collar is worth $1,000 which is nothing for being a non-stacking item, but it's actually used to upgrade the Rooster but we couldn't do that in the server slam so it made me feel like it was a noob trap to loot any of the "luxury" items (then I looked it up and found out it's an upgrade component).

Oh that's probably because it's a game type genre they can pay to win and cheat in. They can just buy hacks, have lots of disposable income to funnel into the game. They don't have to compete just put on the best shit and pretend they are good at the game. It draws them like magnets. Dev who make extraction shooters have known this for years.

Actually, I roll out of bed at 10am to work my effortless wfh job. I do chores around the house and jerk off on the clock. I WILL wake up slightly earlier to enjoy this game all weekend.

>>724517765
it didnt feel good on controller either lol

>>724490125
I get annoyed when people say satisfying, but I would never sperg out like this.

>>724518137
>>724518176
>>724518268
Like i said, to milk them.

>>724518137
These are the people that are going to whine when I shoot them in solos
>>724517638
Not really. I think its wild that looting is just one big box instead of separating stuff like Tarkov does.

>>724518096
>it's tarkov for the employed
this meme will be broken in a few weeks when rats and sweatlords chase out the casuals, as is the destiny for every extraction shooter

>>724517931
>dont PvP in my PvP game!!!
lol

>>724518268
>you have to rebuy your storage space with real money every time you wipe
Not even Niggita is that jewish

>>724518378
I think the "employed" in this case will be crouch walking everywhere and not taking fights, always late to the loot, and never contesting exits. They don't need to worry about sweatlords more than rats, who will find a bush and wait

>>724518501
lol

>>724518587
>the devs want us to come together!
>thats why they added PvP to their mediocre helldivers 2 clone

>>724518268
Only browns have a problem with this

Arc Raiders is a white man's game

I'm glad to see browns filtered

>>724517989
>the superior extraction shooter
I got 10 hours deep into this game and it turned into an excruciating grindfest and getting killed all the time off off screen machine guns that pierce my armor

>>724518587

>>724519015

>>724518268
Even the subreddit is having a meltdown.

I think Embark drank their own kool-aid and they believe this game is a guaranteed success and they can get away with this shit.

wait for a sale if you really care about skins

Preloading right now.
Anyone wanna team up with a chill kraut boomer?

>>724519174
The real question is how quickly can you earn these tokens, if even

>>724519353
apparently not at launch but they will add it in later battlepasses, you also need the premium currency to expand your storage.

>>724519534
>premium to expand
really? where did it say that - in server slam I expanded it all by coins.

>>724519618
>3rd person is more immersive because I can see my paid cosmetics

>>724519597
>really? where did it say that
here >>724518268

you also lose the storage space you paid for with real money every time you wipe

>>724520140
why dont they just do normal wipes holy shit. so you gain space by wiping but then pay for more?

>>724520165
>>724520313
the hell are decks, costumes?

>>724519534
>apparently not at launch but they will add it in later battlepasses
They will add some premium currency to the paid battlepasses but not the first one because its free, lmao.

This game is a fucking scam

>>724518501
>>724518268
>Not a real Embark employee

now where can we get a verified response that it will strictly cost tokens to expand storage?

>>724520481

PAGES?! you dont even buy the battle pass all at once?

Still buying Tarkov and still playing Duckov. Shart Raiders will crap the bed because you can't casualize an extraction shooter.

>>724520697

>>724520762
nope. This is Nexon we are dealing with anon.

>>724520481
Surely if he was wrong somebody in the official discord would've corrected him?

>>724519174
don't put this on embark, retard. This is all nexon's fault

Why anyone acting surprised that embark has stupid cosmetics shop? They have a big game already The Finals that shows you the company philosophy.

>make base game with fun content
>drip feed boring shit cosmetics in base game
>paywall or battlepass the good looking/interesting stuff
>will take at least 6 months for there to be enough cosmetics floating around so that everyone doesn't look like a clone

why are browns so angry about this game? it cant be JUST because its not f2p right? right???

>>724521054
why are you doing this you autistic fuckface? If I wanted to read discord I would go there. fucking idiot.

>no its the browns who dislike my EPIC FOR THE GAMES PEAK GAME

At 5AM launch day I will be hopping on Arena to check my dailies to grind out the MultiCam Caiman and ULACH skin unlocks before release. Then I will continue waiting for 1.0 Tarkov to come out on November 15 while periodically checking Nikita's socials to see what ugly Chinesium airsoft garbage they're adding to the game before a G3. I will not touch your 80s retroslop third person generic scifi shooter.

If I wanted to see discord niggers I would go to discord. It's unbelievable that I cannot even escape other websites because a NIGGER will appear and insist that I have to look at his screenshots. engage engage engage or else your faggot zoomer ass can't feel anything.

I'm not buying this stupid fucking game and neither are you, but here you are trying to argue that I'm more or less brown than you. It's all you have. This is your entertainment and your fucking personality and your whole legacy. Acting like a human shit golem on a fucking chink shilling board. you and an army of literal chatbots just cyclically accusing the other of being Indian.

I wish I could cave your subhuman nigger skull in. I hope one day your entire nation gets nuked to fucking glass. I hope your whore mother and virgin father disown your faggot ass for wasting their precious third world bandwidth on this behavior.

enjoy sitting in your soiled diaper until this thread 404s and then enjoy shitting in the next one. forever.

the italians all died in the apocalypse please understand

i played like 600 hours of tarkov and 300 hours of abi. this game feels like ass and the playtest actually put me to sleep. i don't get what people see in this.
also the amount of yt vids i've had to block with something akin to "arc raiders is like a movie" is unreal. never seen such aggressive marketing and pandering from slop tubers before in my feed.

>>724491085
Revolver, shivs, crouch movement speed. I needed nothing else. I made it my mission to sneak up and shiv as many people as I could and God damn was I good at it.

>>724524095
not everyone wants to camp in one spot for 5 minutes so some dumbass walks in front of your cursor because both games feature 1tap mechanics

>>724524095
It feels like the most overhyped game I've seen in years.

>>724524095
I personally had a blast in the playtest

>>724524095
I have 2k in Tarkov and am getting this cause its new/fresh. Probably will cap out at like 200 hours cause it doesn't seem to have too much at launch.

I have zero interest in Tarkov 1.0 funnily enough.

>>724524095
It's the most blatantly shilled game I've ever seen. it's a 6/10 console game being hyped up as a 10/10 masterpiece.

>>724524219

>>724524159

>>724524230
i don't even play tarkov anymore. after the broken promises and failure to deal with cheaters over the past 2 years, there's no point. i might finish the game's 1.0 on pve but desu it just sounds like a waste of time. abi is fun with friends but all there is at end game is spamming armory/tv forbidden as a 4 man.
sucks that arc raiders is shit because the genre needs something good and new at this point. i'm on copium that Miyazaki's next game will be worth the price of a switch 2.

>>724524479
>it's the bots
I was talking more about all the video essays about how amazing it is. I know Embark has some influencer program, I'm guessing that it pays well.

>>724505450
And yet the apparent wizards at Embark have somehow made a UE5 game that doesn't run like absolute shit. Something every other modern developer fails to do.

>>724524576

Whatever you faggots say. The sound design alone blows the rest of the industry out of the water.
"Muh bots" people are talking about the hyped game that's about to come out, YOU DONT SAY.
Embark learned from their mistakes of no marketing campaign for the Finals and actually paid for advertising, they were one of the corner posts at the UFC, gave free copies out to jewtubers, etc.
I've liked what Embark has done so far, had a blast playing the server slam,

>>724524824
DELETE THIS

>>724522615
having skill or not won't stop enemies from spawning with advanced AP ammo, you little queer

>>724524965
If you struggled at 10 hours it's a skill issue, the game doesn't get hard until the 3rd map.

I was bummed out for a few days because it is hard to find players in the working week for coop, then I figured out I can just jump on american servers to get more players because ping doesn't matter in coop.

no one cares

>>724525091
I'm on the third map and half the merc ducks are running around with ap ammo. My last death was walking around a corner in level 4 armor and helmet and getting almost 1 shot by a shotgun with ap ammo. The death before that was a boss in supermarket with an rpk that was doing 20 damage to me with level 4 armor (assuming advanced ap ammo again). He evaporated the sandbags i was using instantly.

Skill has little to do with it. It's just rng and grind. No need to pretend, it's a single player game.

>>724525771
will live longer than you, your cohort of troons and ACK! raider. See you in a decade to check if your product of the month is still alive.

>>724525786
>but I died to a boss

How? you can hear them walking long before you can see them.

Game that I obviously care nothing about and won't be buying yet I continue to turd world post on that very game's board.

This is the same as a nick fuentes groyper calling everything and everyone that doesn't agree with his 70IQ retard views jewish.

I don't like the game and I'm pointlessly seething therefore it must be tranny woke and cucked. Who fucking cares nigga what you think nigga?

love third person shooters, wish this was a single player game. not a fan of sweaty friendslop, but ill probably try it anyway

Did any of you vros cop the deluxe edition? The only thing I like from it is the astronaut outfit

I give this game two weeks

>>724528437
I give you less than 2 days before you're back again in another thread

>>724528354
I can't justify the cost, the normal prepurchase is fine for me.

There are literally no wipes. You can just opt to "prestige" and delete all your progress eight weeks after launch.

Globally #1

I'm not really into extraction shooters, but this has been coming up a lot in my normie feeds.

From my observation extraction shooters are the exact opposite of games normies like, slow, high stakes, punishing.

Why am I seeing that obnoxious gamer dad fanboy shit around this game? Got the same shit from BF6 feeds 2 weeks ago.

>free loadout
>do nothing but run at extractions when they sound off
thanks for the loot

>>724529343
This game is a casual take on extraction shooters with a scifi twist to it, is all.

>>724529161
noooo it's all fucking shill bots

>>724529607
fair enough, i kinda like the vibe so i just bought a copy if i end up still not liking em ill refund it.

What makes it more casual? Just like firing mechanics? Ive never played tarkov but it gave me clunky ARMA mechanics vibes from watching gameplay.

>>724529343
because if youre somewhat competent you can use a free loadout and get rich, and if you die you dont lose anything at all so its not really punishing

>>724524397
>It's the most blatantly shilled game I've ever seen
you have not been around here for longer than like a month, tops
it's obviously being shilled but gimme a break newfaggot

>>724529706
The meticulousness of weapon upgrading is simplified, the movement and weapons handle like Battlefront II so its more... roll cagey instead of stiff movement and it has the appearance of AAA environments.

I've seen way too many people say this is tarkov but for people with a job. I think of it more as a good weekender, something to pick up every friday kind of game

>>724528354
>did any of my fellow vros cop the consoomer edition?
Least obvious shill

>>724495767
Idk why this shit pisses me off so much. I think it's the just abject refusal to take any responsibility for themselves. I was dealing with the same shit at the BF6 launch, it was fucking infuriating to have my age demographic used as a lever to enshittify the game.

They say things like dad gamers only have 3 minutes a day to play video games so we need to make them easier and more accessible. Man fuck that, I've got a wife, kids and a job and I still pump shitters. Sure I can only play maybe 2 hours max on a good day. Sure that means 15 years old crackheads are often better and quicker than me.. So what?

>>724487184
I woke up at 4am to play on our brand new nintendo, but to our credit it wasn't some gay shit it was DCK.

>>724529843
Name a more blatantly shilled game than this slop

>>724530054
that screenshot is just all youtube goyslop is.
Give it 2 weeks and they'll all have the same video titled 'embark how could you do this? arc raiders... dead already?'

>no u

>>724530054
yeah niggeroni it's being shilled, that's unfortunately the standard

Kek this game is so done, it'll get a bunch of sales on launch and then dies as everyone realizes it's boring shit, looks like shit and is infested with cheaters.
The devs put all their money and effort into buying shills for their game instead of making an actually good game, just like it happened with The Finals.

Sure looks that way from the Cover and Characters

All the shills are like "woah this looks incredible" and then show the most generic unreal engine vista ever.
This might as well be PUBG, or GTA V, or Ghost Recon Wildlands. Zero identity.

I wanna buy this game but some anon said the developer never does anything about cheaters in their previous games

I only bought the game because I hate Marathon and Bungie

>>724532276
Didn't the finals just switch from EAC to Denuvo AC? I haven't played that game in like a year but apparently it's a lot better at detecting cheats now

>ARC Raiders is 1 in a Million
wtf am I reading

>>724487069 (OP)
I'll play on Friday with a friend of mine

I am not happy about the storage space upgrade costing real money.
People are saying that they might make the cash shop currency available via playing, akin to a Helldivers 2 Platinum situation but I'll believe it when I see it.
As it stands the game's cash shop is f2p tier with $25 skin bundles and shit

>>724488128
It was competition for Marathon, and Marathon looks so bad it is expected to close Bungie for good. And people feel Bungie deserve it. So Arc Raiders is getting big just on bad will for Bungie/Marathon.

>>724532384
in TT2 it was only the final tier of storage that was 500 realbux which is conveniently how much you get for free

>>724532384
>the game's cash shop is f2p tier with $25 skin bundles and shit
Most paid games these days sell cosmetics for $30 or more. Free games sell $100 "supporter packs."

>>724532438
I can't imagine how bad Marathon must be to make ARC Raiders look good

>>724532276
I've only ever seen one clip of blatant cheating from the server slam and that was free. I'm wondering how many will purchase the game just to cheat

>>724532520
>actually this is normal and a good thing
kys pls

>>724532384
>I am not happy about the storage space upgrade costing real money.
I still haven't seen a verified person confirm this, all we have so far is a random guy's comment in the discord.

>>724532530
bad enough to shut down "the studio that brought you Halo and Destiny" a mere 3 years after they were purchased for 3.7 billion dollars

>>724488128
Game was made for the white man in mind. Gambling that pays off with skill and brownoids who are buck broke can't pay that 40$ entrance fee. Shits going to be soooooo CASH

>>724532598
I just said what is real and you are mad. Yes, it sucks but don't shoot the messenger, retard.

>>724532530
Oh, Marathon genuinely looks like one of the worst games ever.

>>724532520
>Most paid games these days sell cosmetics for $30 or more.
What other $40 game has $25 skins and a p2w battlepass?

>>724532276
they went full scorched earth mode with denuvo in TF (and that's a bad thing)

>>724533010
All of them

>>724533223
Ah, that's why The Finals has random CPU hangs for almost everyone. Classic.

>>724533010
No battlepass, but Darktide.
battlefiled 6 has a 30$ battlepass/season pass, and it's 70 bucks, and you pay for skins directly.
Helldivers 2 is 40 bucks and has had like 12 different 10 4 P2W battlepasses but you "CaN eArN iNgAmE pReMiUm CuRrEnCy" at a snails pace.
Borderlands 4 I think has a battlepass? I can't recall. Likely not P2W.

game isnt expensive enough, it needs to be fucking $200 to gatekeep turd worlders, extraction shooters always attract copious amounts of cheaters

if the thing about needing to spend real money to expand the stash is real, I won't buy it
if that's fake and I can still expand the stash with the ingame whateverthefuck currency, I might buy it
tomorrow I'll see I guess

>>724533424
Why not just buy it now for the preorder bonus then refund it if they do that gay shit

alot of people are going to get burned tormorrow assuming they dont mass refund the game. If you played Dark and Darker you already know what to expect.

Ironmace is being sued by Nexon though

They already have interactive maps up https://www.speranza.gg/maps

>>724533865
Then don't preorder then lmfao

>>724533607

the server slam was fun but there's a reason why companies avoid going f2p with games like this. it'll dry up soon.
