Normally I'd be with you but then CoD MW2 came out. It's got your normal old school shooty shooty pew pew... it's got a very good battle royale... and then they also added a version of counter strike that I acutally like, a version of tarkov I actually like, and several other game types, hell even multiple raids like ow2 was supposed to have. It's like an ur shooter with enough people to play in each and every one of these hoppers. It's kinda amazing that it's just fun across the board, so much so I haven't even tried the campaigns.

Stepping back there's been many excellent AAA games in the last 3 / 5 / 10 years. There have never really been that many (sub 30) AAA studios. People move in and out all the time. They each ship a game every 3-6 years. That's kinda the name of the game.

What games did you dislike? what did you try, what disappointing you? You talk really abstractly / vaguely.

All these AAA shooters feel the same to me. Tarkov/CS actually feel like 2 distinct games.

I agree, they both feel different. However they're very "sweaty"... and I don't have the time to get into them so I've bounced off both very hard. I enjoy watching people play tarkov but if I had a disk of tarkov it would long ago been burned in effigy.

I've been much enjoying Single Player Tarkov lately. Much less sweaty when I don't have to watch out for people who have perfected their pixel hunting headshot skills with two decades of AWP practice in CS1.6.

Or with tarkov, bought cheats.

True and fair, I just don't get the taste of CoD/Bf games. They all feel bland.
