/zlaner /zlaner JUST TUNING IN ON TARKOV SO FAR? MY TAKE ON TARKOV SO FAR. FIRST TIME PLAYING. THERE'S A LOT TO LEARN. PRETTY OVERWHELMING, I WILL SAY. THAT'S NOT- THAT'S A BAD THING. I'M JUST SAYING IT'S AN OBJECTIVE TRUTH. THERE'S JUST A LOT OF S*** TO FIGURE OUT. BUT THAT'S, I MEAN, THAT'S WITH ANY GAME. THAT'S WITH A LOT OF GAMES, SOME OF THEM ARE JUST A LITTLE QUICKER AND FRIENDLIER, YOU KNOW? ARC IS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF ONE THAT WAS JUST A LITTLE BIT QUICKER TO LEARN, BUT IT STILL WAS DEEP. LIKE WHEN YOU FIRST YOU DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO REALLY KEEP, WHAT TO RECYCLE, WHAT TO SELL. THE SAME THING. I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT ITEMS ARE OF HIGH VALUE. I DON'T KNOW A LOT OF THE HOTKEYS BASIC MECHANICS OF THE GAME, BUT AGAIN, THAT'S ALL JUST GOING TO COME IN TIME. SO THAT'S AGAINST THE GAME. THE GAME ITSELF- NOW TO SAY SOMETHING ABOUT THE GAME, ABOUT THE GAME, REALISTIC GAME I'VE EVER PLAYED. YOU KNOW? NO HUD, YOU KNOW, NO HUD, YOU KNOW, I CAN'T SEE WHERE MY TEAMMATE IS WITHOUT US COMMUNICATING, WHICH IS REALLY COOL. IT ADDS A LAYER OF JUST, STRESS AND ENVIRONMENT BEING IN THE MO- THE BEING ACTUALLY, LIKE, VERY IMMERSED IN THE GAME AND THE ENVIRONMENT. THE GUNPLAY SEEMS WAY MORE REALISTIC AS WELL. LIKE JUST I CAN'T JUST BE B-HOPPING AROUND AND SLIDE CANCELING AND THIS IS PRETTY, PRETTY LOCKED IN. GOOD IQ. GOOD AIM, GOOD AIM. AND THEN WHAT ELSE? WHAT ELSE? YEAH, I MEAN NO HUD MAN. NO MINIMAP. NO... YOU GOT TO JUST BE LOCKED IN A LITTLE BIT MORE. NOT SAYING I THINK IT'S ACTUALLY PRETTY COOL THING. SO OVERALL I'M HAVING A GOOD TIME I'M ENJOYING IT. I THINK FAT NAP'S MAKING IT JUST PLAYING YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? NOT TAKING IT TOO SERIOUSLY, NOT CARING ABOUT WHAT I TAKE IN AS WELL. STRESSING OVER IT. JUST LIKE IN ARC, MAN, YOU CAN'T HAVE THAT LIKE YOU CAN'T HAVE THAT GEAR FEAR, YOU GOT TO JUST GET OVER THAT IMMEDIATELY. ARC ALREADY TAUGHT ME THAT. SO, LIKE, I'M TAKING ALL I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT'S GOOD, WHAT'S NOT. IF I'M TAKING INSANE STUFF OR IF I'M TAKING MEDIOCRE S***, BUT I DON'T REALLY CARE. WHATEVER I WANT.
