I think more multiplayer games should try a DayZ type of experience with (relatively) clean screen, extreme resource scarcity, etc. Of course within a few months someone will always mod it into CS:GO plus Minecraft.
Aside from being an Ubisoft game, Extraction shooters are literally one of the worst genre trends in gaming lately. I suppose they wouldn’t be so bad if they all weren’t PvPvE “full loot” extraction shooters. But since they are, they attract the worst kind of scum players that bully new people and then complain when nobody is playing.
Tbh, I feel that extraction shooters haven’t really gotten started yet. Tarkov popularized it but it’s too hardcore for most people. Hunt Showdown is more my speed but it’s still kinda niche. I haven’t seen a title really bring the concept to the masses. This might be that title.
Tarkov is a place where people discover they are actual masochists. The learning curve is near asymptotic, especially if you start mid or late in one of the economy “wipe” cycles. The cheater issues they have make it 10x worse than it should be though.
