Why extraction based...

[Miles]

People need to stop with extraction based games... Doesn't mention any of that on the store page anywhere, only through talking to a friend who has it told me about that.

You do objectives and escape… what would be the other outcome? Befriend zombies?

[One Tough Cookie]

thats all the last game was, do a mission, then escape, they are just adding more to it, the old game was just levels with objectives then you leave, the whole goal was to escape

[Cryptic]

It's not extraction based. That's just how the mission ends since there is no other logical conclusion. You are going into the area to do an objective and then you are getting out of there

[FrikyCZ]

I like the game but still the same object at the extraction is boring

The first game was extraction based due to engine limitations (be saved, and get despawned), but this game doesnt really have that limitation which makes it weird. Why not just make it escape, or searching and scavenging for your life.

Agree with OP, cause like the whole larger maps idea they have going conflicts entirely with extractions, cause why tf extract when u should use the bigger maps to do other things lmao

Bruh... So L4D is an extraction shooter?
No, it is not.

NMRiH2 is an extraction shooter.

NMRiH1 was an objective shooter.

Get your facts straight, wtf copium you on.

Objective-based shooters focus on completing specific tasks within a level. Extraction shooters emphasize surviving to reach an extraction point with loot, often with a focus on resource management and escape.

Eh. It's not really an extraction shooter. At least not the typical 'extraction shooter'. I feel like they just tacked on that title for the sake of garnering players from that crowd. I mean Darktide you extract at the end, but they don't call it an 'extraction shooter'.

yea and i wonder what happened on literally every map. I wonder what the game marked your condition as, aside from being alive and deceased-..Oh yea, 'extracted'. The game is literally hard coded to put you as 'extracted' when you succeed the map you ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥♥ man.

this is true, despite not being "quite" mission based, the game has not really changed at all in its mission goals. Beat up zombies, get supplies, extract by using said supplies and friends who... maybe survived. Ah, however, hopefully the new map will add some variety. As the first game did have the advantage of multiple different missions, which resulted in multiple different extract scenarios.

And the survival missions were some of my favourite when I played... long long ago.

Extraction-based means nothing in this context. You don't keep your gear between rounds. By the definition people are using, L4D is an extraction shooter lmao.

It isn't Escape/extraction...

It's do the objective or die....

Which is the dumbest thing to do.... The stakes is set as if the first mission fails the whole dies, yet I see less than 5% win rate....

well L4D is also an extraction shooter then because you spawn in map, do objectives and escape. you do the EXACT same in NMRIH and NMRIH 2 so basically every game where you need to do some objective and then escape to win is an extraction shooter

Death road to Canada's maps that you fight zombies on are more of an extraction game than this.

You can fail the objective of a map but leave/survive.. This is do or die only. Surviving isn't possible if Objective isn't completed.
