“IT’S JUST A BETA BRO” is still loud in the Escape from Tarkov world. They’re wrong - the game is 4 years old and has a $140 version -  but somehow that absolves all sins.,(reply>), @Rannon "as is" it is definitely not a full price game. Does it have the potential to become a full price game? I think it has. But I agree with the pro-players that there's a lot of work to be done and the current team is not up to the task... (it's just too small and the player base got too big real fast. So they spend all time patching servers instead of the game).<br><br>So it's a tricky situation really. But it does point to a game that might fail under its own success.,(reply>), @Synthetic_Future But is it worth being compared to what a $70 game should be or is it closer in value to what a Indie title or a AA-title would be?<br>Honest question as I've never played the game.<br><br>Other than that I generally agree with CHAOSberg's sentiment - The beta/early access excuse have been used far too long by far too many developers.,(reply>), @TheMultiReplayers look up Veritas his "getting Tarkoved" series. The "this game is not supposed to be fun" thing is a language barrier issue. He explains it better than I ever could and he is one of the top Tarkov players so he knows much better what he's talking about. But I think the game is not as terrible as some people say it is (although having the hit detection client based is really shit 😶).,(reply>), @Synthetic_Future "it does have issues for sure" is giving that game way too much credit lol. Hell when the developer's excuse for how inconsistent the game feels is "it's not supposed to be fun". You know you've grade A jackassery afoot.,(reply>), It has a 140 USD version, but the game itself is 35 USD which is effectively 50% off a full priced game. Now one could argue that a game from a smaller dev should not be 60 bucks on release.. but that's up to the dev :p I do agree though that it's hard to defend a 4 year long "beta" period. Especially considering the state of the game (I actually do play it..  but it does have issues for sure).
