As stated before, Escape from Tarkov is currently the hot topic on many live streaming platforms. That’s right, both Twitch and Mixer are currently heavily engaged in the title. Though there has been recent drama within the streaming community, with the now Mixer exclusive streamer, Ninja, and Reverse2K recently breaking up their friendship over an argument had during a Fortnite session. The argument in question was unsurprisingly about their rivaling streaming platfo

While the gameplay loop in Tarkov seems different from most battle-royal or MMO RPGs, the game still maintains many of the philosophies and staples of games from those gen
Escape from Tarkov has risen to a fever pitch in popularity seemingly overnight. For those who might be wondering exactly what Escape from Tarkov is , the game is a first person shooter MMO-like game with PVP elements. The game recently became a sensation on live streaming platforms like Twitch and Mixer, causing the game to explode in popularity in a very short amount of t
Streaming Escape From Tarkov, the tactical first-person shooter that has been gaining traction on streaming platforms very recently, Dr DisRespect openly admitted to really enjoying the game, claiming “I'm not going to lie man, this game is kinda sick.” He went onto further his praise for the title, stating “It's not the fastest game, we're not jumping out of vehicles, ponytail flapping in the wind, getting struck by lightning while we are AK-ing somebody, two-tapping them using proximity chat. I know it's not that type of violence, speed, and momentum, but there's a certain level of intensity and build-
There is very little in the game that explains what your goal is: well, literally it is the title of the game. The progression system is complex and does not lend itself well to new players. Hardcore fans of the game will go searching for video guides and forums to help answer their questions, but the majority of the player base will be left in the dark. There needs to be an introduction to the game's core mechanics that is located within the game, and not in a text guide link or a wiki. Similarly, the health and healing mechanics are well fleshed out in terms of realism, but confusing unless you've done your resea
Speaking of menus, there is a lot of trading, loot management, and bartering going on in Escape from Tarkov raids from Tarkov . You can trade two cans of condensed milk for a great sniper scope, or you can save up your cash and purchase impregnable Juggernaut armor (just aim for the legs). There are several vendors who you can trade with and level up, with each rank unlocking new weapons, armor, and supplies for you to purchase. Learning to do business with them is as much a part of the game as shooting your opponents. But here's where the game gets tri
The game has a unique mix of mechanics, similar to games like ARMA II: DayZ Mod , and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds , but does a lot of things differently. I think it's best to begin at the composition of a raid, the game's main game mode. A raid is a 60-90 minute match that takes place in a part of the city of Tarkov and includes roughly 12-16 player controlled characters. Bear with
The main way players are going to be defending themselves against other players and the AI Scav units is through the guns they’ve either brought into a raid or that they found during a raid. Like many FPS games in the genre, Tarkov has plenty of different guns to choose from and equip. Naturally, those different types of guns use different types of a
Seeing as the Dr DisRespect persona is often synonymous with angrily critiquing games and having lengthy rants, seeing the streamer genuinely show appreciation for Escape From Tarkov shows just how strong the game is. Whether or not Dr DisRespect continues to play the title remains to be seen, yet, it looks likely that the title might be a staple of his broadcasts going forward. While the game is already incredibly popular, having Dr DisRespect as a core member of its streaming community would no doubt do wonders for Escape From Tarkov ’s status as a major online title, as well as its popularity on streaming platfo
Streamer Dr DisRespect has been one of the biggest mainstays on Twitch for a while now, with the comedic personality winning awards for his content and finding major success both in the world of video games and outside of it. It’s safe to say that’s he’s a major influence on what games find popularity on the streaming scene, with massive titles such as Fortnite , PUBG , and Apex Legends all being crucial parts of his content over the last year. However, it seems as though Dr DisRespect may be looking to start 2020 by hopping on one of the biggest current Twitch tre
