This is like saying I refuse to go outside because this book on nature I have is good enough, the context you get by being in the actual world helps whatever you read have more context. I’m assuming your comment was in jest, but it gave me such a gutteral reaction that I had to say something.

I had a foreign exchange student from Turkmenistan stay with my family in the US for a year and it was pretty interesting, he was able to slide into our culture pretty well, the biggest issue I remember actually came when he went back home and the government pretty much refused to let him leave the country again and treated him kind of like a potential threat. To be honest, I don’t really remember very much about Turkmenistan other than that, he didn’t talk too much on it.

I didn’t say I respected the developers, in fact I specifically said I didn’t respect them, I’m just saying that its a good game with similar gameplay mechanics to what op was looking for

I honestly might recommend escape from tarkov, it’s just that I honestly don’t respect the devs very much. But it’s a very good game, you can play on PvE mode so no need to worry about timezones or anything like that. It has a incredibly in depth gun system since its pretty much just real gun mechanics, and I honestly love that about the game, it has taught me so much about guns and their attachments. The one thing is that it can have a low time to kill, but there’s an in depth armor mechanic to the game that can change that. On top of all that, it’s an extraction shooter, which conceptually is literally just an fps roguelite. Just a warning, it doesn’t allow Linux users if you are one, even for PvE mode, but there’s a mod you can get called SPT(single player tarkov), and it allows you to play on Linux on top of allowing you to mod it further.

Have recently played this for the first time, and I’m stuck on the final Riku fight, it’s excessively difficult and worst of all I just don’t really care about the characters for it to be worth it for me to finish the game, honestly a super overrated game.
