Initially, when I first picked up this game, I didn't know anything about it and stopped playing after doing 4 or so raids.
Then, for reasons I can't remember, I started to play it again with friends and couldn't stop for months. For the next two years I played the hell outta this game.
Now, I've grown tired of it. Constantly having to restart from scratch after a couple months to half a year has grown old. Doing the same exact "tasks" over and over has lost its charm. As has dealing with the updates that make the game more difficult and more tedious because the hardcore fanbase keeps leveling up too fast after each wipe. The people that live and breath this game defend it with their lives and say anything that makes it slightly easier is for pansies. The gatekeeping in this community is unreal. They claim to be welcoming but that's only if you have nothing negative to say.

The level of detail in this game is astonishing however. Customizing firearms is super fun and intricate. Very few games come close in terms of modularity with their weapons. Everything looks and feels authentic.

Just don't expect to have cool firefights that last a long time like the live action series.
