This game is better than WoW

F*** you activision! Welcome to steam bungie!

Better than fortnite (No stupid building!)
As someone whose followed Hi-rez for quite a long while, this is a title that really doesn't suprise me giving the company's past (Following whatever is trendy) keeps em' in business I suppose. However this is a pretty high class BR IMO. The crafting feels really unique and makes the game fairly competitive. It's alot better than fortnite (no question about it)

CS-GO. I often have mixed feelings about this game. I love it and hate it. I love the gameplay, it's fluent, tactical and smart. However even though I feel I'm a fairly adequate player. I'm silver 2. Stuck in silver hell forever, and realistically the only way to move up is to play with people above you. If you looked at my past games I've gone over 30 kills, most objective plays but the rest of my team is a bunch of memers! To be expected in silver in counterstrike, granted. But matchmaking is kinda nightmarish, as it should be based more geared toward personal performance over team performance. If you're new to CSGO the community's a little rough around the edges, you'll get used to it eventually. Overall it's a great game if you take out the community.

Rust for me is really a pinnacle for what I believe the "source community" represents. Rust brings along alot of baggage, a trifling community that really doesn't know what it truly wants, in the heat of that moment where in a game you're almost always paranoid that feeds into a bad cultivation of "reviews" or if you're one to frequent chat amongst most servers is of people bickering and complaining. So for most reviews, or opinion through word of mouth or even in chat of a rust server. It is important to shift through those reviews to find those that truly symbolize Rust and it's "culture"

I am at large a fan of Facepunch, as I seeped tons of hours before Gmod really hit it's fame via media. To this day I have a hard time deciphering if Garry really has a good grasp on ladders yet (anyways) Beyond all else this game is a tribute to survival games as they should be, before the plague of BR came about. Rust will stand the test of time I feel, even if you take a monthly break once you get raided theres a drive to come back to see if you can do it better next time. If it's your first rust experience, spend the first few days with chat disabled, or if you're like me and enjoy ♥♥♥♥ talking and creating allies and enemies via social game it's whatever route you prefer. Building makes you think and is ever changing couldn't tell you how many hours I've spent doing math on what ways my base could be raided and what I can do to resolve flaws. Vice versa using that knowledge to help my raid team get into a complicated, intrciate structure.

--Loot system
The loot system has gone through many changes, and I feel the current one is by far the most balanced and by far the one I love. However I do expect it to be changed, but the current system allows large groups to progress in a fair manner to a solo player can still keep up if they play their cards right. The many aspects of this game is what makes it so damn addictive.

So in an overall, I 100% reccomend this game if you're looking for more of a competitive long term shooter rather than a BR. (Just expect to lose alot more)

As someone whose followed the development of the origin of this title when it was just a standalone mod. Supported it through early access and all of it's trifles it's gone through. I've ignored the rampant cheaters that you meet within every 1 out of 10 games, I've ingored the trend of "loot boxes" locked behind a paywall with no other way of obtaining those items without thousand of hours of gameplay to obtain one trashy item.

With the recent release of the "event pass" and paywalling these missions that litterally every other game has including Call of Duty (a real cash cow) without this pay wall. This is an EMBARRASSMENT for bluehole and this is the reason why Fortnite is so much more popualar than this game. I do not suggest this game in it's current state until bluehole puts some actual effort and takes care of the community that built this game. The reviews matter, Bluehole. You may have a high playcount but these reviews share similar feelings to those on Media, streamers alike. This is a game that I'd love to play more of, once issues are resolved. A game I would reccomend however, was the recently updated Standalone DayZ. - Because I'd rather a slow developer over an awful developer. Or rust, both are fantastic games. However PUBG just doesn't deserve the community it's gathered.

Bluehole, you should feel dishonor for something that the community loved dearly, and now is a laughing stock of genre you streamlined.
