Actually elden ring was ruined by input reading, attacks faster than human reaction time, and a bunch of poor design choices.

umm i think you reuploaded the vid 😅

This was a very good video

good video

100th like 😎 i never land on these so i had to point it out lol great video, please keep it up ⚔

I guess that explains why i just eventually fell off of PoE and still love FromSoft games and Kenshi. Even though Kenshi has a much different control scheme and configuration (you can "control" up to 30 characters vanilla, vs one in any FromSoft game) it still has a similart feel, at least to me. I think it's the harshness and brutality of the world combined with the ability to find humor throughout, whether intended by the devs or not. Examples are enemies jumping to their death (even flying ones) when trying to attack you in Elden Ring or the janky "World Wars" that your characters can start in Kenshi just by stealing something from a store, getting caught by the guards and going too close to your Shinobi allies, causing them to defend you and it just spirals from there. At any rate, love the videos. Keep up the good work. Don't get me wrong, i love me some memes, but too much of a good thing, yes, even hilarious memes, is not good. I appreciate the serious tone and thoughtful breakdown of the topics. Cheers, man! Edit: Me speels Engrish reely guud. Lol!

Bro I spent my time testing against arena ACs when I could be counting my DPS in the test mode. The only tester AC you need is Nightfall. Better for it, had more fun, died more times. Built more bots.

Oof why did they look up armored core stuff lmfao did they think they weren’t smart enough? Shame

I missed a few enormous sections of elden ring on my first playthrough. The lake of rot, the deeproot depths, placidusax, how to get a mending ring. didn’t even realize this until I was watching videos never planning to play again & these things came up. I had to avoid videos for months before going back to play again. I would have been better served knowing

Often times I actually find myself actively avoiding a stratagy/weapon in games because it is META. It's almost like I have a compulsion to be unoptimal.

oh yeah, this is kenshi

Me after the lobotomy

hey man, loved the video but maybe work on the engament a bit. was quite rough to keep atention in some parts( insert zoomer fried brain joke here)

this is gonna be one of those 1M subscriber video essay channels one day

like

Damn, this was enchanting. I'm glad this popped into my feed

wat

The creator of dark souls has literally said the game is made to be played with guides

Love it

I enjoyed listening to this.

Wait, you shot the dog?!? You monster!!!

real

this video is sick. Very thought provoking narration. Called me out with that "ego playing" lol. Spot on.

Bro got from "maybe you should play elden ring your own way" to citing nietzsche and and making me overthink all my life choices. really good video, will be placed in my list of favorite youtube videos.

This what Joseph Andersen think he sounds like

Very interesting! I often find myself in the trap of hyper optimizing what I'm playing, only for it to ruin my experience.

You even killed the dog.

Find your balance in the chaos, hopefully😂

Great vid pride

Drink everytime I say compelling lol

Another thing that bothers me about the spawns is that they don't make any sense thematically. How did we get there? Take Woods for example. We just pop up in the middle of the map. Did our PMC slam a bottle of vodka and wander off into the trees?

its so funny ur so bad at the game and ur yapping abt bad spawns its tarkov if u dont like it alt f4

Whatta utterly captivating script and delivery. The algo has blessed me. Earned my sub n like. I couldn’t detest that reserve spawn more. The spawn a in general. The tenacity of the unfairness of tarkovs spawns are in fact horrendous. Now that recoil has rendered almost all weapons enjoyable and useful to equip maybe their next highest priority can be the spawns?

i hope they find a good solution for the spawns, its taking away so much of the uniqueness of the engagements and the suspense of the game. its turning an immersive shooter into an arcade battle arena (arena huh). the system is flawed, not because "its unfair" or "forces you into new/difficult situations", its simply repetetive and predictable, ultimately making the game boring. i try to not turn on the bad spawns, but you still have to be aware of them. i know with a pretty high probability where most people are or can be on the entire map for the first five to ten minutes of the raid. i think on streets they finally got it kinda right, because there is enough loot, so that everyone is able to move somewhat organically over the map and the map is big enough to get out of most the spawns (spawn areas are the same, but there still are multiple spawn points in some buildings like expo). also the quests, single use keys, almost instantly spawning players scavs and the btr are making streets rather unpredictable, which is great. im really hoping that they can improve the system somehow, before they finish the game. good video and great writing on an important topic :)

The map isn’t a perfect square so no perfect spawns, that’s why tarkov is so good, it will beat you down and reward you, the reason I stopped playing cod was bc almost every game was the same just different maps

poe music was a nice touch made me think i have the game on

I don’t think that this is a problem. I think people are creating problems for themselves. This is a game that you can change your main objective according to your spawn point if you’re so far away from your objective, then you can run the map in another route and make some loot or maybe play PVP or maybe rat or maybe Chad this is your choice. There are many different mechanics in the game and people are still crying out for some more balance Just play with what you have then you will be way happier with the game.

"The Biggest Problem That Affects Everything" is that the whole looting and extracting thing does not have anything to do with the PVP and the PVP does not have anything to do with looting and extracting. Its like running "two different games in the same server/engine/lobby/raid".

for sure, newer players dont think of this or maybe arent worried about it bc theyre learning so much at once, but spawns become everything

14:17 wtf is happening there why they spawning like that ?

When you use to get to choose your spawn with a map, oh those were the good times. Spawns were busted then and will always be until 1.0 but im not having much faith but nobody likes getting spawned killed.

The title is clickbait and the thumbnail is lame. The video is really well done and illustrates clearly one of the many issues plaguing tarkov. I thought this was a video from a popular tarkov youtuber, very much surprised to see how small your channel is. Def deserves more views keep up with more vids like this one!!

Very enjoyable video with great writing. Keep it up.

The spawns aren't equal, and is one of the things that makes the game interesting. Tarkov isn't the hunger games where everyone is placed equidistant from the weapons (or in tarkov's case the loot), and wouldn't be interesting if that were the case. Having such variance in spawns creates more possibilities of encountering people at different places, creates uncertainty about where squads will be (since you don't know if someone spawned really close or really far from where you are) and also provides you with different play styles based on what kind of spawn you did get. You talk about people dying 1 minute into raids, that will always happen (and would actually be more likely if the spawns were more equidistant to high traffic areas), especially if they don't respect their spawn and the potential surrounding spawns. I've died maybe once or twice in my entire time playing Tarkov crossing over from big red to RUAF on that single land bridge. There are 3 other crossings that I've never died on crossing over. People need to realize that if you get a particular spawn and simply run straight to the loot, people will likely catch you. There are other paths, to flank / avoid people holding chokes. I do think its a problem spawning so close to another squad that you can see each other within 10 seconds though. There are several spawns like this on Lighthouse, Reserve, Shoreline and interchange which are frustrating to get simply because you're forced into a fight right away in the same area with very little variance and 1 spawn always has high ground / cover advantage. You also talk about it being unfair that some people spawn closer to high loot areas. Most maps have multiple high value loot spawns, that even bad spawns can go to. And talking about pistol running interchange to stick GPUs up your ass is just sad. Interchange needed a nerf. It was not good for the maps design to have so many GPUs spawning in 1 location consistently. And that nerf then balanced out the rest of the map's loot so that the spawns weren't so biased towards sprinting to Techno and Techlight. Now, if you spawn in the north, there are still plenty of places for you to loot with the potential of getting GPUs or other high value loot without thinking "oh shit someone's getting to Techno before me, better go next".

No, the main problems of Tarkov that nobody talks about is a "thump" bug where you hear a loud footstep as soon as any player controlled character pmc or scav is in certain vicinity of you. Which makes everyone who are aware of it have a poor man's esp. It's been in Tarkov as long as Tarkov exists and all the streamers use it constantly and pretend they just know when people are.

So what is your solution? I just don't think you are smart enough to understand that the spawn system is perfect.

you are absolutely right! <3

Pretty sure everyone has talked about or is talking about the unfair spawn system.

watching a no one talks about video about a topic everyone talks about

Great insight, keep it up!
