The average dude on the internet can't seem to process enjoying multiple games in the same genre, even if they share many similarities. You can see that in spades with something like Doom The Dark Ages right now, where because it isn't as good as Doom Eternal people online are saying it's "bad". They don't seem to understand that you can enjoy both even if you find one better 😅
I explain it to people as EFT through the lens of a COD-type FPS. HUD, can access map, less of a focus on crafting, questing, etc. Like the combat completely changes when you can callout a direction because you have a compass at the top of your screen, or open the map and ping where you saw players. EFT requires a shit ton of game knowledge, and people that don't have it end up saying shit like "guy at the tree" or "guy at the building" when theres a bunch of trees and buildings because they don't know callouts. It is inherently easier to jump into and has no financial hurdle to play. And it's a lot less punishing to die. Some people don't want those things and that's fine, just like some people do and that's also fine. Me? I just want my sweet sweet ARC Raiders back.
This is the best explanation I've heard in so long
I’m tired of game devs assuming I have friends
Been a tarkov player since alpha but havent touched it since i started playing ABI
I played both and I just like the hard core aspect of tarkov, I’m a guy who used to play hardcore search and ffa on cod before I met tarky
This game is WAY more friendly to new players. I've gotten people into this that HATE tarkov for one reason. Weekly free kits. So nice to just slap on a premade kit and be in a match within 4 minutes of launching the game
What makes the game better than tarkov is not getting kicked for a lag spike... And their servers are a million times better.
The BEST part of ABI, no endless matchmaking.
ABI is for people who run towards gunfire and Tarkov is for people who are.... actually idk
Crazy, he's one of the guys who cried so much about BSG and the Unheard Edition, etc, and made it like it was a big problem and even stopped playing for some time but now he's spamming #ADS for Arena, which is coming from Tenset and they basically copy-pasted a game, designed it to be a live-service cash grab, and are just trying to milk players in this genre. Make it make sense. Money talk i guess
Does it have all the atmosphere? The lore? The gameplay mechanics? The bosses and all the secrets? ABI is just chinese cash grab; Tarkov have a magic atmosphere when your new and your mind tingles with the unknown. Theres no equal
as the one who play both, i enjoy tarkov more with the quest as its reward, mechanic, requirement, and the impact it have is far more interesting than arena breakout, but for purely pvp i prefer ABI than tarkov (not the gun play exactly but more to the feel of the engagement itself).
Tarkov fanboys are annoying! That heaping pile of sphaghetti code is dated and everyone knows it. The bugs are a decade old , cheaters are out of control, the devs nerf any community enjoyment and also recycle content Im SO GLAD WE HAVE MORE/BETTER OPTIONS NOW.
Tarkov SUCKS. I wasted so much money buying it, when I should’ve just gotten ABI for free.
Abi player here, the only reason im playing abi is cus im broke😂been watching tarkov content creator since before i have a pc. Mad respect to tarkov players saying good things about a so called tarkov copy❤
I can't get over the rubber banding and floating terrain
as soon he grabs the cash for playing it , he never touching it again lmao
Tarkov is by far the best looter shooter and has its own uniqueness
