Explaining Why Companies Can’t Make a Good Extraction Shooter
(Intro) A lot of game companies are trying to sink their teeth into the extraction shooter genre. And a lot of them can’t seem to get it right. And there’s a good reason for that: the extraction genre isn’t meant to be something that you just make and ship out. There is a ton of considerations that need to be thought of well in advance if you want to have a game that looks, feels, and plays correctly. Over the years, as the rise of this genre has become more mainstream, different companies have tried their hand at making an extraction game that is both engaging and fun to play. But many of these attempts are marred from their very concept. People aren’t willing to take risks; playing it as safe as possible to try and broaden this niche market. There are tons of ways you can make a successful extraction game. And there are even more ways to screw it up so badly, the game won’t survive its initial launch. With everything that is currently happening with games like Marathon, where that game seemed to be doomed from the start, and inversely, games like Arc Raiders which seems very in tune with not only the genre itself but the audience that might play it, I wanted to go over some examples of games that either got it right or look to be getting it right that are still in development, and other games that never hit the mark, and were basically failures before they even released. I’m all for more companies trying to make more games in this genre, but there’s only one way to make these games; the right way.

If you’ve been around the Counter-Strike scene long enough, you know that it’s never just about shooting. The community has always found creative ways to stretch the game’s mechanics — and that’s exactly how KZ (Kreedz Climbing) and Bunny Hop (Bhop) servers were born.

Press Play to Blockbuster: 5 Video Game Stories That Put Hollywood to Shame
When Pixels Outshine Projectors As sad as it is, most video game movies suck harder than a noob playing Dark Souls for the first time. But here’s the twist: some games already are masterclass films trapped in console prisons. These aren’t just great stories with gameplay bolted on – they’re narrative experiences so rich, so cinematic, that adapting them would require Hollywood to actually try for once.

But sometimes, against all odds, a game emerges from development hell, defies expectations, and becomes something great.

Did Tarkov Create the Extraction Genre by Accident?
(Intro) Is Escape From Tarkov the first extraction shooter, and if so, did that technically happen by accident? With the rise of the extraction genre, more developers wanting to try their hand at making something unique and interesting, it’s always good when you are in this position to look at the success and see what makes them so revered by those who experienced it. And in this case of this genre, it’s no surprise that EFT took the world by storm and fulfilled a desire for many players out there; a rugged, tough as nails game that doesn’t explain anything to you for better or worse, but has easily one of the most addictive thirty-second loops of any multiplayer game currently out there. Once a new player starts to understand the game and figures out some of the beginner mechanics, the itch to play kicks in and that’s how Tarkov pulls you over to the other side. And with the success of EFT over the years, and it finally finding its stride, when you look back at the history of popular multiplayer games, this genre is absent for the most part. Because before the popularity of extraction games became a thing, the more previous trend for a while was battle royale games. Last man standing, random loot on a map that can be played a thousand and one ways (if designed well), and a gameplay loop that has no barrier of entry with no real loss when you lose. EFT is for the most part, the opposite of that; nothing but stakes every time you load in, no guarantee you’ll win or even survive and everyone trying to fight each other. It’s kind of surprising that that it’s become as popular as it currently is. This topic is being talked about a lot right now; not just the first game but what makes them so effective. So, I wanted to chime in and give my own perspective on the matter. Upon looking back at gaming trends, a question arose; was EFT the very first proper extraction shooter? Or was there something else before it?

ROE DEER
ROE DEER Over the past 40 years, the roe deer population has grown steadily. They are one of the most sought-after game species among hunters, making the roebuck a very popular trophy. The roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) is the smallest of Denmark's four deer species. Their shoulder height is 60–90 cm, their body length is 90–130 cm, and they weigh between 15 and 30 kg. The animals shed their fur during the spring in April/May, turning a reddish-brown coat. When the cold weather sets in in autumn, they regain their thick, gray winter coat.

What Works and Doesn’t Work with Woods in Tarkov
(Intro) Woods has been in EFT for as long as Customs has. It’s a much different flavor when compared to most other maps in the game and provides a much different experience when played on. Most people who have been playing the game for years now, I would take a guess and say they enjoy Woods for a few different reasons. And it wasn’t until December of 2020, that Woods saw a major expansion to the map that provided areas that can get you lost if you don’t know where you’re going. Alongside that, it also has Shturman as the scav boss, as well as the Goons which can rotate around to Woods. For most though, when you think of Woods as a map, and the playstyle that is most appropriate for that map, the most obvious answer is sniping. It's been a quintessential part of Woods’ identity; taking a big rifle with a huge scope on it and seeing what kind of shenanigans you can get into. However, as time has gone on, my own personal enjoyment of the map has somewhat wavered, and I never could pinpoint exactly why. Today, I wanted to discuss Woods as a map, go over the original design, the expansion, what makes it fun, what frustrates people and ask the question: do people still enjoy playing Woods after all these years?
