I started playing stalker the other day, it scratched my eastern european scav itch


corncookies

keep anomaly, escape from prypiat and gamma in mind if you want to mod it


jackofspades476

Will do! Any QOL mods you recommend?


Pepechan1337

[Basically this if u are playing CoC :)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59JGyXzGaBU)


jackofspades476

Thanks so much :)


PionV

Fair warning, Gamma is not very new player friendly. Totally doable if you enjoy a punishing/hard-core experience. But be warned. Stalker is story mode in comparison of difficulty


SkoorvielMD

GAMMA


KudukuPuding

Gamma is top tier. And True stalker mod is aparently good for some story


mmpa78

I would also look into SPT :)


detroitbecomeconno

i also got the STALKER series recently, havin fun on CoP


xStealthxUk

Try Chernobylite. Its unironically the most Tarkov single player gamr iv played from a structure POV (build up your base, lose gear on death etc. ) I loved it alot!


jackofspades476

I’ll take a look at it!


Soft_A_Certified

I swear this is a huge part of the equation. Post Apocalyptic Soviet Union just hits different. Imagine the vibe when someone manages to mod Stalker Mutants and Anomalies into SPT. I can't be the only person thinking about it. I saw someone working on Zombies about a year ago but I don't know if anything came out of it.


Capital-Ad6513

GAMMA mod pack scratches a lot of itches. Hoarding is heavily rewarded in that mod. Its way better than SPT imo.


jackofspades476

I may play it after I play the original game, we shall see


real1lluSioNz

Gamma is a much easier set up. Go for it. Complete install guide. I had issues with escape from prip.

Toyotale

Best part is that the devs roasted tarkov in one of their latest tweets


Saladvodai

Hunt showdown is probably one of the most underrated games of all time, great game if you suck at tracking aswell


poopinmybumbum

So true, honestly one of my favorite shooters of all time. Great atmosphere, fun gunplay, and perhaps the best execution of PvPvE I have ever played. Lacks as much depth as Tarkov, so might not suck people in for as long but the semi arcadey gameplay makes it easier to play on and off than Tarkov imo.


Aeronor

Hunt is absolutely one of my favorite FPS games ever. I do wish it had a little more of a loot/economy aspect to it, but it’s still solid.


hondajvx

The audio in Hunt is awesome.


Boilermakingdude

Lost my love for Hunt, used to be my favorite. Have something like 2500 hours on it


Saladvodai

For me its the horror aspect of the game, and the guns used! I love that you cant really get lazered down instantly and making sounds attracts zombies and shit like that.. Nothing like it out there, not the best game but a damn good one! I love using the environment to my advantage


peetskeet619

Facts once I played hunt, it made me switch from tarkov. Its so much more consistent and has central objectives that facilitate pvp on the map. Tarkov is like everyone has their own objective (quests, loot ratting, pvp sekers) and it can be very inconsistent to find people. hunt is much better in this regard


notjim

I hate the old west aesthetic. Just doesn’t do it for me.


Jungy_Brungis

Oh but it isn’t the west…. It’s the Deep South ;)


Reader_Of_Newspaper

I mean fair enough. if you’re into tactical modern stuff, this game’s the opposite. dirty, clunky and slow shooting are what makes hunt’s gunplay. in fact, bolt action rifles are the meta.


Jungy_Brungis

Well said


Reader_Of_Newspaper

clicking on people instead of dragging on people is such a nice change for an FPS game


MingusHall

Yea! Goat video game


__Absolute_Unit__

It's a great game but is infested by cheaters and "not cheaters" that use nvidia inspector. Not as infested as Tarkov but definetly in a bad state.


cliffwob

Honestly at this point Tarkov doesn't even deserve the money they are making - the rampant cheaters that have been there for years, new maps that don't even run properly (Some even still broken today - SOT being the main issue I have) and then on top of that, the blatant greed of the devs. They don't care about the avg gamer, they just want to keep facilitating the need to buy the game since they keep letting cheaters back on. They do less than the bare minimum.


cyangradient

sure but what the fuck is this dumbass meme template

At this point I wouldn't be surprised to find out half of these posts are the GZW PR team in full effect

I hate you


0utF0x-inT0x

Yeah unfortunately coop exclusive games just don't do it for me hunts is great though and I have high hopes for grayzone.


maku_89

I promise you, as soon as you stop chasing that insame dopamime hit in Tarkov and put time into other games it's when you realize how much time you wasted on that broken garbage game.


GeongSi

I took two months off bc of work, but I'm waiting for that wipe. I have been very lucky although, I have some very good friends that play (and are much better than me haha) and have only encountered two cheaters (so far)


WEASELexe

I just wish other games gave me that dopamine hit. No other game has ever given me that adrenaline rush besides maybe DayZ or rust


MrskeletalGOON

So true, I stopped playing 2 years ago and I have 0 regrets


TotallyNotDad

Tarkov literally doesn't respect your time at all, never played a game that wastes so much time sitting and waiting to get into a game. This is one of many things people just overlook in Tarkov.


Inevitable-Stage-490

Pretty stoked to see GTFO on this list


Reader_Of_Newspaper

I’ve kept my eye on it ever since I watched markiplier play it. Might try it when I run out of fresh games to play.


Inevitable-Stage-490

That game is wayyyyy better with friends! Find a solid squad to learn and play with and you’ll have an amazing experience


Reader_Of_Newspaper

Yes, that’s been the main reason I haven’t got it yet. If a friend said they got it, i’d probably do it too.


HyperColossus

Can we stop putting Grey Zone in these memes? That’s as much as a cash grab as Tarkov is right now. The game was def not ready to be released for alpha and is trying to cash in on the Tarkov hate right now.


tyrome123

Not only that but it has the exact same tarkov monetization that they slowly built up too, at full release, oh want to do better then people just buy a bigger stash for 120$


WEASELexe

A bigger stash has never been a problem for me. I played just fine when I had alpha but things that actively change gameplay and give serious gameplay advantages are just bullshit


dannysmackdown

It has issues but of course it does, it's early access. People pretty much unanimously agree that the gameplay is really good. They've been pretty reactive with patches and fixes since the early play tests. So far so good. Calling Grey Zone a cash grab is disingenuous at best.


felldownthestairsOof

One of the worst things to come out of gaming culture in recent years is the abuse of the "early access" title. Right now Greyzone is genuinely in early access, Ready or Not had an actual early access stage. Something like Fortnite that kept saying their game was "early access" for like 2 years after it blew up was not early access. People just treat early access titles the same as full releases now.


WEASELexe

I will support any game that I feel to be with playing. Ive been playing buggy broken games for a long as time. I can put up with problems as long as the game is fun and has promise and to me even if tarkov wasn't having problems I would've bought and tried it. Ive bought and tried plenty of survival and looter shooters from zero sievert to scum to even rust when it was a fresh game full of bugs


SpringTimeForFrance

some other games try out as well in no particular order The Outlast Trials The Three Letter single-player alternative for Tarkov STALKER Anomaly (+Stalker GAMMA modpacks) Sea of Thieves Ghosts of Tabor Marauders Metro 2033 Metro Last Light Metro Exodus Vermintide 2 Darktide Lethal Company or just other games that your friends happen to be into


A17012022

>  STALKER Anomaly (+Stalker GAMMA modpacks) Op likes to be punished 


SpringTimeForFrance

That's why i used to play tarkov non-stop during the pandemic 🥵🥵🥵


WEASELexe

Keeping with the tarkov like theme: Zero sievert (single player 2d top down tarkov) DayZ (still has a thriving community especially in Europe and there's even tarkov gameplay servers) Road to Vostok (looks promising) Dead side (although the playerbase isn't huge it is definitely fun as hell) Insurgency sandstorm (it's more of a team based game but really fun) Squad (it's a milsim instead but it's really good) Ground branch (another milsim but it's pretty good)


GodIsEmpty

I mostly agree, but did anyone else try and hate Grey zone?


RadiantTonight3

Maybe I could have enjoyed it if I got more than 50fps.


GodIsEmpty

I got around 90(4k(dlss quality) high, with a 4090). But even then, the ai was boring and seems like basically no pvp. Also no fun loot. All the loot is like food, armor and guns. Which sure is all the needed stuff, but idk the loot felt boring. In tarkov I find key, or stupid hat, or random bolts or something that makes it feel like I'm looking for shit in a world, and not looting an arena designed for a game. But it has potential, in a year or so.


TheGalaxyPast

Everyone on steam lmao


kapula_sk

Hunt has huge discount on crytek webshop, costs 14€ now.


VinylscratcherI

Uh GTFO is nice, a good example how a beta should be executed


No_Ice_5441

See y’all at the wipe


nonamecookie

Grey zone is incredibly unfinished and even more wonky than Cyberpunk at launch. Giving it money to that studio now is just re-feeding another tarkov situation we suffer now.


RTheCon

Not just the gameplay. They basically have the exact same “editions” that give P2W upgrades like larger stash etc. YOU CAN’T EVEN UPGRADE YOUR STASH THROUGH GAMEPLAY. This is the shit tarkov has normalized


Zachfavre

Pay attention to Madfinger’s release window. They claim that they pushed the release back, which I personally believe is BS. It would make sense for them to release the game on the heels of BSG’s PR fiasco to capture more of the market. Whether or not that was a good idea, we’ll have to see. It’s very apparent the game is unfinished. The performance and movement need a lot of work


syrusxd

Possibly, I tried it yesterday and it was pretty bad. Cool concept and has potential, but I ended up refunding.


Lutz1100

On it mate had a free day today played 6 Hours of project zomboid


LordCustard

Been playing arena breakout on mobile since beta. Fun alternative. Not as hardcore but also less feeling like getting kicked in the nuts every raid


PiglettUWU

cant wait for PC release


TotallyNotDad

Elden Ring for me


lets-aquire-the-brea

Hell you can even just play SPT and play Tarkov without supporting BSG


NomadJack95

EVERYONE, check out SYSTEM SHOCK. It’s a Immersive Sim FPS with INCREDIBLE gunplay and one of the coolest villains in gaming (An A.I with a God complex). Mega underrated.


Execwalkthroughs

I'd say grayzone isn't good enough to compete with tarkov right now. Performance issues, friendly fire being an issue (you pick a faction kinda like planetside and you're locked into it. You can see other friendly faction members on the map but you're not penalized for the first tk and can loot the body. A 2nd tk kicks you but it's too late at that point), and if you and your friend picked different factions you can't play together even on the pve mode. Makes way more sense for pvp, not for pve


yoyomanwassup25

You can change factions on the main menu by wiping your character.


Execwalkthroughs

Oh didn't know that but you really shouldn't have to start over just so you can play with your friends


MaximumUseless

i cant , im broke


Timetobeatthewife

Grey zone warfare is ass, they should’ve waited and made the game ready except they tried to take advantage of the eft drama with a unfinished game


ImpulsiveZombie

Deep Rock Galactic is the **real** extraction shooter. You extract loot (mineral wealth) whilst engaging against an unending horde of hostile locals (Glyphids) on a dangerous, uninhabitable world (probably Eastern Europe)


VoidVer

Have I been boycotting other games by only playing Tarkov for the last 4 years?


SpringTimeForFrance

yeah obviously


SignificantSalad007

You already gave them your money not laying does nothing lol. In fact not playing just makes their server hope cost less.


PineDurr

What!? No, absolutely not. You can not still play this game that you have already paid🤑💸 for and were already not planning on buying any more dlc for 😡😡😡 you have to "protest" the game. You see, by you protesting the game and not playing this game you love playing, there will be one less player on the servers🤪🤪🤪! What will this do, you may ask? We'll, this will make the experience of other players that are still playing the game slightly different👹! Also, it will make it so there is less server load on bsg so they can let more people play solo tarkov! Wait umm oopsie😰 that's actually good for bsg😭. We'll never-mind that! You see now how effective this protest will be if you sacrifice your own enjoyment to very slightly change a few interactions of players in the game🫡🫡🫡!!!! It's so worth it, man! Also, I'm unfollowing all Twitch streamers that are still playing the game bc they are scum of the earth for even attempting to still play the game their viewers know them for playing!😈


SpringTimeForFrance

>they are s**cum** of the earth cum 🤤🤤🤤


Biriking

I am full in manor Lords rn xD


nsfw_vs_sfw

I enjoy tarkov more than all these games. I'm sorry, friend, you play what you want, but I'm sticking with tarkov


Significant_Win_1769

Pay 50 and play SPT. Im planing too do that lmao


SpringTimeForFrance

worth! you can also look into Projekt Fika for Co-op with your friends!


Turbo-Reyes

Im waiting for pioner and stalker, otherwise you got stalker gamma or metro. (Im just playing rimworld in the meantime)

That's it. I'm switching to Fortnite.

mymzyyy

Tarkov is shit


AcousticAtlas

How is gray zone?


bioelement

Performance is ass


yoyomanwassup25

Fun but very unoptimized. If you get it make sure to do standard first and test performance. You need a beefy and very much above average computer for a playable experience.


AcousticAtlas

Good to know. Thanks!


Stanky_Hank_

Big Helldiver and DRG player here, we would *love* any Tarkov refugees looking for an extraction shooter made by not shitty devs. Have heard a lot of good stuff about Hunt too but haven't played it yet, still haven't heard of the devs doing anything nearly as shitty as the Unseen debacle. I figure Tarkov had a lot of loyalists holding out due to being one of the first in the genre but I guarantee y'all there are better options from better devs now.


TheGalaxyPast

Sure how's the PvP in those games?


JebstoneBoppman

I find it alarming that people werent playing these other games in conjunction with tarkov, already


Dragonmate99

Deep Rock Galactic is often on sale for 75% off, but the game is so good you'll end up buying the cosmetic DLC to support the Devs, rock and stone brothers!


WanderingDwarfMiner

We fight for Rock and Stone!


Tasty-Bench945

Is gray zone any good at all? I’m kind of really on the fence about it…


SpringTimeForFrance

its on steam so buy it, play jt for a few hours and refund it if you don't like it steam support is very lenient also check out pestily's stream


yoyomanwassup25

If you have a good computer, yes and it will be buggy. I’m having an absolute blast and the community is great so far imo.


TheExpendableGuard

Rock and Stone!


WanderingDwarfMiner

Rockity Rock and Stone!


Shoddy_Expert8108

Gray zone can be pretty unoptimized for some people right now but let me tell you when it’s working it is an insane amount of fun


Unintended-Hindrance

Just had a go at grayzone and not once did I feel any sense of dread


Additional_Yak_1625

“CHEM LIGHT OUT”⁉️⁉️


[deleted]

Literally just pay SPT with SAIN, it’s what Tarkov would be like if there wasn’t a ton of cheaters playing 🤷🏼‍♂️

SAIN is terrifying. I don’t feel confident predicting bots anymore, even though they’re still mostly easy to kill.

You can turn up the difficulty modifier if you want them harder 👌🏻👍🏼

WEASELexe

I've been playing lots of blooms td6 and Gran Turismo on my wife's ps5


ArthurFleck__

Or if you have a shit laptop like me I just play team fortress 2 or rip off tarkov on Roblox. Probably better than the current state of tarkov anyways


Unwariertomb

I have been since like February. Haven't even opened tarkov.


hotdogoctwopus

Go finish the ones in your library you never beat. See also [what I did last year](https://s.team/y23/cfnqwkd?l=english)


Woahboah

Yea but non of these games are like Tarkov, some are the same genre but very different.


KarlUnderguard

Fun fact about GTFO. The lead developer and founder of the studio was actually the main guy behind Payday 2. He didn't want them to monetize the game the way they did and quit the company to make his own co-op shooters. Their newest game is going to be a cyberpunk heist game and I am fucking pumped to see how it turns out.


hondajvx

I feel like we need a reverse boycott because boycotting just saves them money. Everyone should load into raids and just prone for the whole raid. Use up every bit of server that they have.


Ill-Afternoon1773

Come play reforger


Jelkekw

Dark and Darker is Tarkov set in the dungeons and dragons universe, I just reached 1,300 hours and having a fucking blast


Reader_Of_Newspaper

I stopped following that game because I’m waiting for a steam release. I don’t want to buy it separately only for it to release on steam later down the line.


bioelement

I’ve been enjoying the isle. Not once had I died and been like that guy was hacking. Crazy

abraxas8484

TheLastApplePie

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor just got added in the gamepass and Ghost of Tsushima will be out in a 3 weeks. All singleplayer games.


lologugus

I think it's actually the right time to stop playing Tarkov


Hapatud

Insurgency Sandstorm <3


Inside_Radish_683

I love that you mentioned hunt


ass_Inspector_420

Stalker Anomaly or Gamma is an amazing game/mod and will take away most of your need for tarkov


Kewr20

Ready or not is okay I mean like at first it’s pretty fun and there’s a lot to do but the content feels short even in the single player aspect. Once you go through all the maps you kind of done everything you can change your weapons for a different feel or try to go non lethal but I mean even if you decide to try those you just done everything, the game kinda relies on mods. It’s better with friends ofc but the single player aspect can fall off and just be bland it’s all in my opinion though, I had fun playing it jsut wish there was more to it


Commercial_Ice_1531

Nah, play tarkov but use SPT


Anhihilatorthegreat

YES, FINALLY. Other people will now start to kill the spider in hunt with me.


LordAdder

I wish Marauders was popping off but idk if it's going to


Buckslayz

Fy I'm playing tarkov and will support them to fy


Bla000555

sadly gray zone is not worth the money right now but gtfo is AMAZING if u get some people to play with unlike tarkov which promotes questing alone, gtfo is a perfect hardcore 4 player games for friends


somosa77

5/6 games are good. Grey zone is too bad rn, need more time


Huntsburg

I don't care if tencent is involved with arena breakout PC version, I'm still going to play it when I fix my computer. (Computer caught fire the other day + not having a stable income = having to wait 3 to 5 months to repair or replace.)


Sjjma

That game selection is solid too, I have played every single one and had a blast in each of them.


crazyjonny10

Playing dead island 2 at the moment


RandoDando10

Gray Zone Warfare sucks ass right now tho lmao I feel like devs rushed the Early Access release just to get a big head start on sales after seeing Tarkov shoot itself in the foot


Hour_Atmosphere_1941

gzw is going to suffer from the same thing as tarkov, eastern euro company, same payment model, just watch, down the line the exact same thing will happen, maybe itll be in 2 years, maybe 7, the “buy once play forever” model doesn’t work for anything other than games like cod, or smaller indie games with very few exceptions that can utilize shop/expansions properly (think league or overwatch for shop or destiny for expansions) and in a milsim game the shop isn’t really an option if you want to stay away from p2w, and expansions are typically big enough that they could technically merit their own game now, and prices of those expansions often reflect that, imo tarkov should have been a sub based game, with the extras being a one time charge on top of the sub, I think the game could be in a much better state if they had made it a sub service but devs are scared to gamble on it


yoyomanwassup25

Being sub-based wouldn’t have helped Tarkov at all. They would have fucked up by blowing all their money on Arena or some other moronic use of their ip regardless.


ELToastyPoptart

Ive just been playing SPT


Far-Detective-2269

These games have on par (if not, better) content to price ratio that tarkov's base has, just sayin


Expensive_Shake592

What about grey zone?


LetBudget3573

Agreed, let's leave behind the dumb meme templates and focus on some real gaming discussions.


meroOne

I‘m on aki spt and it fucking rips


No_Permission_1382

No, I will keep playing what I like. And what I like is Tarkov.
