Haven't played it, I was somewhat interested but not anymore lol

Honestly, don't make the same mistake I did. I played over 3500 hours to tell you: Don't buy this game.
It's been around 6 years since I first supported this game. After silly management decisions (latest edition fiasco, arena standalone), weird game design choices (PVE mode always online), laggy servers despite constant improvements and rampant ignorance or incompetence regarding cheating, botting, exploiting and RMT leaves me with no choice but to give this 1 star, I do not recommend it: the experience is simply miserable and the game leans too much into being a second day job. Don't give them money unless you absolutely love having your wallet wrung and being ball busted.

Very unfortunate that EFT has some ideas that can really make it a good game on paper and maybe even in reality, but with it leaning heavily on all the negative aspects of MMOs, it simply isn't good currently.

What does make it good is getting SPT & FIKA. Funnily enough, Tarkov with mods (not even many, I've been running only realism and sain I think) is closer to the vision the game had initially. And you can play with friends as well, if you got any. I simply regret not trying this much, much earlier.

The devs have already asked for a lot and barely delivered what they promised: PMC faction karma missng, lockpicking still isn't in, you still can't escape Tarkov, 30% of skills still missing, game is wiping progress constantly and the biggest feature aka open world still out of reach.
Most of the community shelled over 100 bucks for their copy (me included...), asking for more is simply insulting. Don't trust their silver tongued con man; this game will most likely die shortly after release, along with its servers.

Good game ran by a bunch of greedy idiots.

Game is so good but the company that makes it might be the worst group of people on the planet.
