*weary sigh*
Apr. 28th, 2024 12:39 pmJust in case anyone needed yet another example of why I consider the phrase "modern video game industry" to be one of the most grievous insults: here you go.
(EDIT) Just to note: I'd never heard of this game or dev before, but now that I have, they've instantaneously gone onto my "never buy" shitlist forever. Not that I would have ever considered paying $250 (or even just $50) for a fucking beta to start with, especially when the game sounds like utter dogshit to me, even before taking the devs' current greedy idiocy into consideration.
(Or, at least, if I had heard of them and potentially posted about them before, which I haven't bothered to look back at old posts to check, because I really don't care to waste the time, then I was apparently successful in completely blotting them out of my memory until now. And so, thus begins anew the process of blotting them out of my memory entirely.) (/EDIT)
(EDIT 2)
Via Mord's comment below:
Yeah, pretty much this.
That said, all those other games that Joe recommends instead of this Tarkov shit... nah. I'll pass. I have no interest in gritty war shooter games. Last one I played was one of those Calluhdoody games at some point between 10 to 15 years ago, and that was only because I was drafted to replace, for a single day, one of the testers who was out sick at the no longer existing QA company I used to work for back when I lived in Redmond, WA.
I should start watching Angry Joe again, more often.
