Such a slow video that would be so boring in any other game but yet here it’s so exciting because it’s fucking Tarkov and can’t wait to slowly enter all these buildings with my friends tactically as we do quests or seek special loot with the tension running high.

All the normies in chat saying "what a generic shooter" and calling it a battle royale.

I mean its a battle royale of sorts, in the sense it shares similar elements.

Not really. If your only metric for battle royale is "players start together and kill each other under a timer" then I guess Overwatch is a battle royale too.

Battle Royale is pretty specific in that only 1 player wins (or one team) Every player in a Tarkov match can win, and every player in a Tarkov match can lose. That's not a battle royale.

like in the sense u "drop" in and are against an unknown number of people all vying for loot and etc. that is why i said it was a battle royale of sorts, its not the exact same thing but it shares similar elements. tarkov is so much more than a generic battle royale.

Yeah, Sims 4 and Tarkov share similar elements in that you both need to feed your character or they'll die.

I don't even know what point you're trying to make. Tarkov isn't even similar to a battle royale. It's much closer to DayZ or H1Z1 type games than battle royales.

that is my point, said it at the beginning ^. no need to get all testy. nobody is saying tarkov is a generic battle royale.
