This game, isn't fun, this community, is toxic.
If, when the game is given a free demo, a lot of people say this game isn't fun and their reason are usually about the piss-poor balance, saying "Skill Issue" wont make them stick around.

Most people wont touch this game, if a game isn't fun in the first 1 to 2 hours, why bother?
This is a game, not a job, I shouldn't invest 50 hours for the illusion of fun.

No, other Tarkov Style game I have seen has this problem, Tarkov it self doesn't suffer from it, Hunt Showdown solo is solid for the most part, this game is horribly everything.

Say skill issue and git gud but this isn't dark souls, comparing the two it's an insult to all souls-like, this game is simply not fun, the community is equally toxic.

If you want people to stick around, being toxic to them, wont achive that, but if you want your game to die, then sure, this is the solid proof about what's going to happend at launch, people first taste of the game will be of this horrible mess.

Edit:
THanks for proving my point, I mean you are doing more damage by being toxic then me saying this, you do know that if nobody buys the game, the devs wont work on it any more right?

that and when the only people are the elitist you, you wont be having much fun either, but sure, learn nothing from the past.

game is fun. sounds like the game only lost a toxic player. Overall win for the game and the community.

Yeah people are toxic … some people dare to hit the poor dog in the bar since petting him.

Have you been to game's Discord or Reddit at all, or did u just call the community toxic based on Steam forum?

a good idea is to name some of the imbalances you feel are in the game and why instead of saying "game bad anyone who disagrees = toxic". what are some inconsistencies you noticed?
"Most people wont touch this game, if a game isn't fun in the first 1 to 2 hours, why bother?" Yep you've just sum up the thing : game isnt for you thats all, dont play it. Simple as that. Other are actually enjoying it and want it to be improved. End of story

It seems it isn't for many, I wanted to enjoy this game like many complaining, that's why they are complaining, because they want the game better.

Look at other equally hard games, Dark Souls, Fear & Hunger, hell even other Tarkov-style Battle Royales, Hunt Showdown, Hell is Others, Tarkov (the OG).

Fear & Hunger might be the best example since when you first playing it, it feels like ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, and while both are rather obtuse with teaching you how the game is played, one game has a community that helps those complaining about the diffuculty in way that IS NOT "GIt gud loser".

I complained too at first in the game but then they told me about some mechanics here and there, and while incredibly annoying that the game refused to tell me, after learning those tricks the game became much easier, not "I can play with my eyes closed" easy but "I don't have to restart from the start" easy.

Dark and Darker suffers that it has the same difficulty of Fear & Hunger, but that would be a lie because Fear & Hunger battles are usually 1v1s or 4v1, that's because the game recongize the fact that the enemies are very dangerous...

Dark and Darker, enemy balance, is insane, in the worst way possible, not only are you given a nerf sword against enemies that can kill you by swarming you, but you also need to avoid the Fortine funny wall of death because of course this game needs it, they are all doing it.

but the worst insult this game gives to the players is when they refuse to tell you where the exit is, litterly no tarkov game does that, all tell you where the exit is, but not Dark and Darker! That would be Hand Holding and being too easy and we cant have that right?

Again if you want to see the game die, sure, drive away the new players, if you want this game to still get developed, maybe don't put your hands in the ears and yell "Lallala this game is good, bye bye"

Game devs make money off of toxic librl noobs. Successful game devs make money off of real gamers.

With Dead by Daylight, it is a bad game, but it was fun for the first 300 hours I've played.
And even if the game is trash and with a community as toxic as this one, atleast it can be fun sometimes.

this game wasn't fun

Why should i join the reddit and discord if the people on the forums here are already toxic, Reddit will be worse and Discord I imagine it's going to be a police state

This is a game, not a job, I shouldn't invest 50 hours for the illusion of fun.

No, other Tarkov Style game I have seen has this problem, Tarkov it self doesn't suffer from it, Hunt Showdown solo is solid for the most part, this game is horribly everything.

Say skill issue and git gud but this isn't dark souls, comparing the two it's an insult to all souls-like, this game is simply not fun, the community is equally toxic.

If you want people to stick around, being toxic to them, wont achive that, but if you want your game to die, then sure, this is the solid proof about what's going to happend at launch, people first taste of the game will be of this horrible mess.

that and when the only people are the elitist you, you wont be having much fun either, but sure, learn nothing from the past.

>Creates a passive aggressive post trying to bait people to be toxic.
>As expected, gets toxic posts
>Proceeds to try to pretend to have the moral high-ground and say "You are only proving me right by being toxic." As if they didnt create a passive aggressive post for that purpose.

Lmfao.

It's not me who gatekeeps this community like Alabama families trying to keep their bloodline pure, enjoy this game and keep it "pure"

Hope I didn't trigger your anxiety. I doubt I'm wrong though.. You've played the game for 2 hours and think you know everything about it. I bet you've never had a real job either.
