I already tagged you as "butter sandwich maniac" from this thread, but I'm happy you mentioned cheese and onion, so I have to update that.

I'm excited to see this. I also got the feeling it was a loaded question because there a a ton of classics not represented: bacon butties, chip butties, cheese and onion, ham and mustard, sausage, baked bean toasties, cucumber, jam, peanut butter. I guess they could be lower ranking but I doubt that about the first few at least.
I'm not sure why you're attacking me, especially when I'm the one saying it's hard to bring a "formula" together into an excellent game.
Surely if I was easily pleased I would just love any attempt at an extraction shooter? Or every single roguelike, maybe? I have no idea why you even decided this about me.
You should work on that reading comprehension.
My parents put butter on sandwiches that really don't need it and it drives me mad. Looks like I'm in the minority.
Out of all of the sandwiches on that list, they all already have some moisture without the need for butter:
- BLT – Bacon grease/tomato juice & lettuce is mostly water
- Chicken salad – usually means slathered in mayo
- Tuna mayonnaise – mayonnaise & tuna is usually wet to begin with
- Fish finger –ketchup (maybe also mayonnaise), or just malt vinegar
- Cheese and pickle – if dry, you were stingy with the pickle
- Egg and cress – just a wet mess already
- Coronation chicken – in its own curry/creamy/mayo sauce
- Prawn mayonnaise – mayonnaise
- Smoked salmon and cream cheese – cream cheese
- Beef and horseradish – horseradish
Unsure if Onion or statement from UK government.
Whether this is satire, or the "give us $1 or else" article is, or they're both dead serious... this is peak Onion.
In an age where reality is such bullshit that real life articles sound more like The Onion than The Onion, it is exactly what we need. I embrace our new deeply layered pungent overlords.
Anyone who values PvP combat will always go back.
There are a lot of advantages to the SP version though. Zero cheaters, customizablity and loading times cut down to about 1/10th of the time of live are the big ones.
It is, but just because two games follow the same formula for their gameplay loop doesn't mean they will be equally good. There are a LOT of other factors.
You'rr right it has all of them. It's one of the closer attempts, but to me the general feeling is not quite the same.
Tarkov always gave me the same vibe as old DayZ mod. Slow, deliberate, anxiety inducing gameplay where death matters and the gameplay can vary massively from game to game.
By making it a less "hard-core" experience like DMZ, it doesn't feel as high stakes and that tension is less. But that's partially just because of the COD gameplay mechanics.
That feeling is more important than the "formula" posted above.
Basically all of the guns in there are real world manufacturers and models without their names changed and not licensed. Aside from that pretty much every item is a branding rip off with one letter changed. For example "Slickers" bars that look identical to Snickers and "Tarcola", which is a copy paste of a Coke can. Even body armour, bags, cases are all identically modelled on real world products.
Because they are based entirely in Russia and only sell directly through their website, no companies can really come after them. I don't see them starting up legal battles to secure their own IP in the US or EU without a shitstorm coming down on them.
It's absolutely just wordplay so they can scam more money out of consumers. Arguably Arena could be considered DLC also, but that's even more of a seperate mode than this. It sounds like there's now just progression tied to the existing offline raid mode, which is obviously just trying to capitalise on the increasing popularity of SP Tarkov.
I don't think it's really possible for them to shut down SP Tarkov (due to BattleState's immeasurable copyright breaches themselves), so it's wild if anyone actually pays $250 for this.
Interesting, I didn't know that about the guns. My info is probably a little bit old because they certainly didn't start off all licenced up and ready to go and there was some debate about it in the community years ago.
FYI: I just downvoted you now because you had already made an edit to insult me for something I didn't do before I even read your comment for the first time. Unhinged.
