Which one should I buy? Just got a notification from Steam that Rust is 50% off.

Rust: $20
Tarkov: $45

I heard Rust is kind of like Ark where whatever you build or do can be destroyed/looted while you’re offline. And I work 4 day hitches so I can’t get on everyday. So with that considered would Escape from Tarkov be money better spent?

Random server rust is a nightmare. You basically have to do your own private server to have fun

Tarkov. You won't lose all of your progress if you're gone for days on end.

Tarkov has the steepest “learning curve” in a game I’ve played in LONG time... almost unplayablely so..

Rust is a terrific game, but the entire community is fricking terribly toxic. If you can find a good group of guys to play with (it’ll take effort) it’s a more interesting game with way more to do depending on your “play style”... you can hunt, build, PVP, handle electric, monument/scrap runs, trade, open vending machines, farm, etc.

So, if you can handle shitty 14 year olds “ReeEEee’ing” all the time and the game chat being borderline racists/bigots, then I’d go with Rust

One thing, make sure if you do play Rust you’re prepared for a pretty steep learning curve as well and Pvp is hella hard.

Check out /r/playrustLFG and either post or find a good duo to jump in with.

Rust is really a great game, that is supported by it's devs, who are always trying to improve the game.

It is a muther f'er tho

Especially when you are a freshy, and you die, die, die,die,die x50.

And not only are the Chinese m'fers with passing the corona disease around, but they are cheaters, hackers, and just BS players on Rust. Russians are a closing 2nd on d-baggery

Rust is usually super cheap, i got it for $5 on sale for steam.

Rust is just too harsh.

You can spend 1000 hours building up supplies, a nice base, then you go to sleep one night, fire up the game the next day and everything is gone and destroyed.

Nope. Not for me. If you put 1000 hours into something, you should be able to finally build an impregnable base but nope. You can't do that.

Unless you want to spend a lot of time playing, Rust is so damn hard to get into.

I love Tarkov, but you have to be prepared to deal with waves of cheaters in the game and some periods of less than ideal server performance. It's a two steps forward, one step back kind of development process that is almost endearing at this point haha
