Escape from Tarkov or Rust?

Random server rust is a nightmare. You basically have to do your own private server to have fun

Tarkov has the steepest “learning curve” in a game I’ve played in LONG time... almost unplayablely so..

Rust is a terrific game, but the entire community is fricking terribly toxic. If you can find a good group of guys to play with (it’ll take effort) it’s a more interesting game with way more to do depending on your “play style”... you can hunt, build, PVP, handle electric, monument/scrap runs, trade, open vending machines, farm, etc.

So, if you can handle shitty 14 year olds “ReeEEee’ing” all the time and the game chat being borderline racists/bigots, then I’d go with Rust

One thing, make sure if you do play Rust you’re prepared for a pretty steep learning curve as well and Pvp is hella hard.

My only experience with Rust is this video. Die laughing every time

Yeah, they’ve changed a lot of that type of thing... if you have a gun, even unequipped, people can see it in your back/leg/etc

There are some really good “content creators” for Rust.

Rust is just too harsh.

You can spend 1000 hours building up supplies, a nice base, then you go to sleep one night, fire up the game the next day and everything is gone and destroyed.

Nope. Not for me. If you put 1000 hours into something, you should be able to finally build an impregnable base but nope. You can't do that.

You know exactly what I meant. You can't build a base that won't be wiped out by a griefer no matter how much time you put into it.

Oh and that is another negative. I don't want to play a game that wipes your work away if you somehow survive and thrive.

I think I played about a month before giving up on Rust.

It's basically a more realism version of Minecraft

Hosting your own private server is a blast

So I’ve heard Tarkov isn’t the greatest of experience for people who dont play very often. I’ve been thinking about Tarkov as a change of pace game to jump on once or twice a week. Will I end up having an absolutely awful experience playing that casually?

I love Tarkov, but you have to be prepared to deal with waves of cheaters in the game and some periods of less than ideal server performance. It's a two steps forward, one step back kind of development process that is almost endearing at this point haha

Watching streamers is actually how I got into the game a long time ago. The game is a lot of fun, but there's a steep learning curve and a punishing penalty for dying.
