What do you want them to say? Your words are "Barrier to entry may be too high." which generally implies you aren't as good as you think you are and can only get better to avoid the problems, no? In short, the "Git gud." kind of applies here, juvenile as it is.

It's definitely not a game where you are meant to succeed easily. It's the type of game where you are meant to die if you aren't extremely careful about everything you do.

If it's not the type of game that you could see yourself enjoying they you might want to refund.

Do the Mosin start and the early game is fairly easy. The Makarov start is supposed to be difficult.

The AK-74U is a trap, still easier than the makarov start but it sucks.

I found the nagant to be a death sentence if there's ghouls about, great for people though.

Weird way to write S.T.A.L.K.E.R., but ok.

Also, a high entry bar is common for some types of games; dark souls anyone?

No, Tarkov is more accurate, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. doesn't force that all or nothing pvp shoot mans mentality seen here, which is odd given that it IS a singleplayer game.

Played Stalker Gamma recently, the modder responsible went to lengths to incorporate some Tarkov elements without removing the inherent S.T.A.L.K.E.R. gameplay, this is is the opposite.

You don't lose anything for dying besides the things you didn't extract with, it's not that punishing, you also only lost a few mins, not like half an hour.

Besides now you're smarter as you have hopefully learned from your mistake.

As the other guy pointed out, pick your fights and be tactical, don't just rush in / through.

You lose progress, you lose time and with that hunger and thirst. Depending what start you took that can spiral quickly, doubly so when it gets dark as sleeping uses more food.

If you spend all your time inching about carefully and then die anyway to some random nonsense its even worse.

At this point I've lost track of the amount of times I've finished the second job from the barman and died on my way to extraction. Some were my fault, others were not.

Even sneaking about in the dark you get 1 shot by bandits or hunters you have no way of detecting and they have no trouble seeing you

The top down simplistic view really doesn't convey a sense of surroundings well. You may hear a ghoul but have no real way to tell where from. It could use some sort of visual feedback to help discern a bearing at least or bushes/trees rustling. The geiger counter too needs a more discernible way of telling how bad, either your fine or your dead and no way of knowing.

[Robbo]

I just died for the first time, realized I didn't lose anything. Closed the game to play something else, I assume hardcore mode you will lose stuff so I'll play that more.

[Xeonzs]

Yep hardcore mode you'll probably actually gotta buy a new gear kit and stuff, not just the things you found in that raid are lost.

As someone who played Tarkov I find the game very forgiving.

[G59]

The barrier to entry really isn't high at all.
