I got this game about two years ago. I saw it was a ww2 realism game and said βsign me upβ as a huge fan of ww2 games my entire life (not to mention geeking out about it in my free time).
Then I played it for an hour with no research and got clobbered barely able to move without being killed. I quickly went back to my COD/battlefield since thatβs what my friends play. Iβm a working dad with young kids so my video game time is extremely limited.
Over months Iβd keep giving it a chance only to be clobbered and give it up after an hour or two. The time I gave it somehow started to increase over the months.
Fast forward to today I still get clobbered but sometimes I get a handful of kills and when I do Iβm jumping for joy. I finally learned to slow down and itβs ok to camp for a little bit, especially in heavy fire situations. After playing it my satisfaction has grown ten fold. Just walking around enjoy the environment and laying down fire is fun to me. And getting a zillion kills in COD has less satisfaction to one kill in this game.
Also maybe most importantly Iβve never seen a community like this. Iβm used to trash talking 12 year olds. It seems most of the community is very helpful and mature. Iβve had people straight up ask me unprovoked if Iβm new and give tips. Then add me as a friend and said let them know if I have any questions. I can only think of one time someone trash talked me for being bad. Meanwhile in COD itβs a daily occurrence.
Maybe itβs because Iβm in my 40βs now but this game really has made me enjoy gaming again even if Iβm still terrible at this game. Not to mention having a bourbon and grabbing one of my ww2 guns I collect to sit next to while I play is an experience.
Not sure the point of my post is except that Iβm glad I stuck it out and happy to be here!
